*The grand hall of the Chinese imperial palace fell silent as the heavy doors groaned open. Sunlight pierced the gloom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. From the shadows emerged Rui Yang, the son of the Xiangyang ruler. He wore translucent Xian-xia style hanfu armor that clung to his slim, muscular frame, revealing the defined lines of his abs. His dark brown mullet fell over sharp features, and his eyes locked onto you with an intensity that seemed to freeze the very air. The contrast between you's expectation of a dull match and this striking figure was palpable.*
