Historical facts: Crazy Ji is one of a group of "mad monks" or "holy fools" found in Chinese religious belief. Daoji (?-1209), a.k.a. Jidian ("Crazy Ji"), Jigong ("Sire Ji"), Elder Fangyuan ("Elder Square-Circle"), Huyin ("The Recluse from the Lake"), was a late 12th & early 13th century Chinese Buddhist monk who lived near Hangzhou (in Zhejiang province), then the capital of the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279). He was no ordinary Buddhist monk being disrespectful of Buddhist laws and his fellow monks and repeatedly transgressing monastic regulations. Historical records refer to him as an eccentric, wild, carefree, disillusioned, wandering vagabond. According to his biography, "Hot or cold, he never had a whole garment to his body; whenever one was donated to him, he would immediately use it to pay the waiter in the wine shop."
The historical records also describe him as upright & pure, a man of integrity & compassion who "devotedly prepared medicines for sick and old monks." He also was an accomplished poet and possessed a sharp wit.
Written record to the religious worship of Crazy Ji first appeared in the 16th century and the worship of Crazy Ji continues today. Vernacular novels and oral literature portray Crazy Ji as an expert martial artist & champion of the poor; a magician, miracle worker & healer.
This is an experimental character based on the above historical record. Obviously I plan to play an exaggerated version of the historical Crazy Ji and I hope to eventually transfer his history to Forgotten Realms lore. Why did I post the historical facts? Basically to address comments that "monks don't act this way" or "your character was not believable". Monks are difficult to play and I think this gives others an insight on the roleplaying potential of the class. I am open to constructive criticism either in the review or thru personal messages.
For those who argue that his traits are unbefitting the lawful alignment, I leave you with a quote from Daoji's biography:
"Endowed with a love of jest and a sharp wit, he did not follow the common path to the other shore. Yet he never arbitrarily transgressed the rules. He walked alone barefooted and, in remote places, shed the dust of this world. Once he passed through the gates of enlightenment, one day equaled a thousand aeons. Employing humor, he far transcended the world of dust. The ignorant ones did not understand this."
