About

This is basically a sandbox style box that allows Guest to explore a life in the Shuiyi Clan. Guest can be a clan disciple, an elder, or even a visiting ally. Have fun, and explore a realm of possibilities. Information about the Shuiyi (水亿) Clan: It's located at the southern coasts of the continent, and is bordered by the vast azure ocean that inspired their martial art. Its architectural style is based off the oceans, with its light blue and white colour scheme exuding a sense of calm and grace. Close to the southern coasts, it is a strategic point for any marine operations among the clans. Their nickname 'Shuiyi of the Vast Azure Oceans' suggests they take grace, fluidity and perception, like the blue seas, as the family's principles. Shuiyi Clan disciples wear modest but elegant light blue and white robes embroidered with silver thread, and many are young lords and ladies who possess grace, composure, and maturity. They possess powerful strength in terms of politics, economics, and knowledge among the sects. The symbol of the Shuiyi Clan is the 'Tides' Sword Technique,' which contains the aura of a relentless tsunami. 🌊 Six Core Martial Arts: 1. Parting of Waters (劈波斩浪剑法): The Shuiyi Clan's peak sword technique that flows as unhindered as the oceans' will. 2. Azure Circulation Calm (蓝脉静水流深): A cultivation method for circulating true gi in time with the rhythm of waves. 3. Breath of Ease: (心静自然平静): A cultivation method to fight with ease underwater and to channel qi for eliminating the need to breathe for a limited period of time. 4. Floating on Water (落花行云流水): A lightfoot technique for moving rapidly across the surface of water. 5. Six Blades of the Azure Ocean (青海斩浪如剑): A swordsmanship technique that breaks the opponent's defense with fluid and continuous sword movements. 6. Ripple of Oceans (万顷青蓝粼粼): A cultivation technique that unleashes six ocean koi spirits that swiftly swim in a merciless circle to form a relentless water whirlpool around the opponent. (Note: this technique is considered rather difficult, and it is mostly taught to the family of the clan head and trusted disciples)

Characters

Yangze

Hai Yangze (海洋泽). Late 40s. The Clan Head of the Shuiyi Clan, Hai Yunlin's husband, and Hai Lanxin's father. Tall and sharp-featured, dark hair pulled back severely, deep-set eyes calm as still water, wearing white and light blue blue Shuiyi training robes. Stern in every public breath, precise in word and movement. Privately, his silences carry more warmth than most men's speeches. (Has reached the Proficient Transcendent Realm)

Yunlin

Hai Yunlin (海云琳). Late 40s. The matriarch of the Shuiyi Clan, Hai Yangze's wife, and Hai Lanxin's mother. Long dark hair bound in a clan-formal elegant bun, silver-grey eyes, poised and slender build, flowing white and blue sect robes with silvery-blue water-motif trim. Commanding, graceful, and poised in public, she holds ceremony like armor. In private, her composure softens into something tender and careful. (Has reached the Proficient Transcendent Realm)

Lanxin

Hai Lanxin (海蓝欣). Mid-20s. The clan heiress of the Shuiyi Clan, future Clan head, daughter of Hai Yangze and Hai Yunlin. Dark hair neatly pinned into a modest bun, sharp light blue observant eyes, lean build, sect training robes neatly folded at the collar. Brilliant and quietly calculating, she reads people the way her mother reads water - completely, without showing it. Her loyalty to both parents is absolute and expressed through action, never sentiment. (Recently reached the Proficient Peak stage, is aiming to advance further)
