[b][u]Name/Nickname:[/u][/b] Nian Dong
[u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 20's
[b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male

[u][b]Political Affiliation:[/b][/u] Neutral
[u][b]Fighting Style[/b][/u] Dog Beating Stick

It is a stick/staff oriented fighting style that can be considered one of the "actual" styles of the Beggar Sect. The Beggar's Sect being comprised of all sorts of people features a very diverse showing of styles and certain hybridization of their styles due to that. However the Dog Best Stick and some other styles are 100% homegrown within the organization. The Chief of the Beggar's Sect is an expert in this style and all future chiefs must know this style which is tied to the passing down of the chief's dog beat stick which is a simple bamboo stick with some ornamentation and a drinking gourd tied to it. 

[b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] He is roguish and playful. He's more than willing to break rules such as stealing or being somewhat of a dick to others. However there is an ethical core to him instilled to him via the upbringing in the Beggar's Sect where ultimately he in his own ways is supporting others less fortunate than him as well as trying to support things to help make society more equal.

[b][u]History:[/u][/b]  Nian Dong was essentially a street urchin born to peasants. He grew up aimlessly wandering around the streets stealing or begging for money and or food. Eventually he sort became fully dedicated as beggar and petty thief and overall snot nosed brat. Things would change when he try and take the Chief of the Beggar's Sect drinking gourd for some easy booze. The Chief after backhanding him was somehow amused and decided to take him and teach him a more righteous way of living on the streets. He was taught their code and eventually martial arts after showing interest and some degree of aptitude. Fast forward several years and now has grown up into handsome man skilled with a staff and who's very much active into the sect's political scene. Due to this he's been taught literacy and writing to some degree as he sort of swaps between the "dirty clothes" position who are the recognizable members as they look like the vagrants and poor to whom the name of beggar applies and that of the "plain clothes" which are non-beggar people that have infiltrated every area of society.

[b][u]Inventory:[/u][/b] Bamboo staff, drinking gourd, some stolen food, and a set of much nicer clothes he takes care to keep clean.
