Feng Shui is a game that takes place in the world of those cheezy, and sometimes not so cheezy, Hong Kong Martial Arts/Action films.
In the game, players may choose their type to begin with. The types include everything from Old Masters, Killers who use a ton of guns, Sorcerers, Supernatural Creatures, Cyborgs, and even James Bond-esque, Spys. For a good idea of what the game is like, I will point out one of the Best examples I know of: The movie Big Trouble in Little China. This movie had everything needed. We had Martial Artists(the three storm dudes and Jack's friend), a sorceror(the little old man on Jack's side), a ghost (The bad guy), and an everyday man hero(Kurt Russel as Jack Burton).
Our group for Feng Shui keeps growing, but we have a really diverse group since no one has picked the same thing as anyone else.
It includes:
A Big Bruiser: Jesse Wilkes (my character) A big tough American Southerner who is also a Shakespearean Actor on the side. He keeps up like the energizer bunny: they hit him and he keeps going and going and going... He acts like the damage magnet for the party. He also seems to be the one person who gets everyone caught by various security people.
A Martial Artist: Yeno (pronounced Jeno)
A Greek athlete who got hurt and recovered watching too many Xena reruns. He is trying to be Xena, but had to wear Hercules's outfit because Xena's just didn't fit around the chest. He likes to jump into a fight yelling in a high pitched scream AIAIAIAIAIAI*cough**clear throat*AI AI(in a very deep voice).
A Sorceror: Tamerin Shinku or as we call him the old man
A sorceror whose motto is "Magic Doesn't exist. Wanna see something Impossible?" He has the characters convinced he is a channel for what he calls "the lobster spirit." It went over well enough that the GM has made it so that the lobster spirit actually exists.
A Scrappy Kid: Tang or the kid or @#$%^$%#@@!!! as we feel at the time
An orphan who watched a monster eat the rest of his orphanage. He is at times the most irritating member of the party and at others the most... well ok accepted member. Originator of the "crane style" using an industrial crane. Likes to torment the Killer when he can get away with it. (Deceased, Killed in Action, good bye, my friend)
A Killer: John Clark
A serious man with a shady past. He much prefers to use two guns blazing and recently obtained his second special Desert Eagle 50 caliber hand gun. He is quite a dangerous fellow, but he never kills for pleasure only for money and well... to protect his ability to get that money.
An Old Master: Xi Fi (pronounced Zie Fie)
A cool old man who can make noodles like no other person could. He spouts lots of things from Confucius and some we think from confusion. He may not be the strongest member of the party but his punches and kicks sure make you wonder.
A Ghost: Blade
A mysterious being. All he knows about himnself is he used to be a cop at some point. He seems to enjoy being dead, although the rest of us are not eager to join him. He likes to disintegrate walls and walk through gunfire. He also has a propensity for throwing lightning around. ZAAAAPPPPP!
A Supernatural Creature: Loyal (Spelling?)
A strange... thing that followed us home one day. He seems to like cooking, eating plastic dogs (yes he really did that), and being the Killer's worst nightmare. This is because not only is he immune to bullets, he gets stronger, tougher, more heatlthy, and begins to move around faster after he is shot. The killer would be toast.
An Ex-special forces man: Lt. Smith
A strange man who likes to carry large guns. He never runs out of ammo and mows down the unnamed guys(the generic underlings for the main bad guys) like the Grim Reaper himself. He carries a duffel bag full of guns with him wherever he goes.
An Everyday Man Hero: John Morgan
A truck driver who got caught up in things while on vacation in Hong Kong. He says two things most of the time: Have you seen my wife?(that's how he got caught up in the game) and Why does all this weird stuff keep happening to me?. He is a down to earth guy who enjoys beer, sports, and and classic cars. His weirdness factor has just run WAY over his limit to deal with it of late.
Cameos:
Scythe: a magic cop with a mean shotgun, last seen racing downtown cuz "All hell is breaking loose!"
The Patriot: A masked avenger who after his primere performance should have become FUMBLE MAN.
Joe: A thief last seen in a mansion in Hong Kong...I wonder if anything is left?
Bel'Al: A transformed to human scorpion, thought to be dead but then seen in the company of a very pretty ghost. Oh well, if that is what floats his boat...
Lucifer Steel: Ex-Special forces man turned street fighter. Seen once and reported to be going to Hell literally.
Sharky: gang member turned Interpol agent last seen in company of Lucifer Steel.
Nemesis: A private investigator with a lot of police connections last seen at a police station trying to get information.
The drunk old man(no other name known): An old man who fought drunk better than most people do sober. Last seen looking for wine in the Ice Queen's palace.
Our base of operations: The Eating Counter
A small diner on the second floor of a building run by a man everyone calls uncle and his niece. Jesse works as dish washer and busboy(hey even actors need to make a living), Yeno works as a waiter, and Loyal works as a cook. Everyone else just sorta stays there as protection. And generally it is needed. If not for the old man and his lobster spirit we would have had to replace the front plate glass window about 5 times now.
