Ok, Wu Wei's story is like it was previous to my sudden absence.
Wu Wei escapes the Jedi Purge. He loses his master, Quinlan Vos in the incident. Wei goes into hiding by living a normal life. He gets married, holds down a job, etc. One day when he gets home from work he finds his father dead, his mother missing, and his pregnant wife shot through the stomach.
Anger and revenge threaten to consume him, but he remembers his Jedi training. He digs up his lightsaber and goes on the run. He is still compelled to do Jedi-type things (save a woman from mugging, help a family that is recieving unjust treatment, and so on), but constantly grapples with the Dark Side, which gained a foothold in his mentality on the night of his family's murder.
In order to keep the Dark Side at bay, Wu Wei turns to his lightsaber training as a means to focus his thoughts bring peace to himself. As his story progresses, I want him to become proficient with each lightsaber form. Ultimately he will have to overcome and conquer the Dark Side within him by mastering the dangerous art of Vapaad.
So, the back story is done. Now I have some other practical things to think of as far as image claims go.
Right now I am using Long from Bloody Roar. Long is a younger looking person. Perhaps early 20's or so. But I also wonder if I shouldn't have him be a bit older. I'm looking into using Lei Wu Long from Tekken as an image claim. He's a bit older. Lei is possibly in his thirties or forties.
Wu Wei's age will play an important role in how I have him manage his anger. A younger Wu Wei will obviously be more impetuous and will express more energy. An older Wei will probably tend to be more solemn and his anger will be more of a smoldering thing than a blaze like if he were younger.
Any thoughts or opinions? I could really do with some help and I very much want to get started.
Thanks muchly! I'll work on getting an image of Long and Lei for comparison.
