Personality:
Kei is a normally bright, calm person that hides a hidden burning anger, the Idea that he doesn't know why he was left in the temple. Through Meditation and Discipline, He has learned to curve that into his arts. According to Kei, Heightened sense of self Reservation and Ba Gua are the only codes keeping him from losing a grip on reality. Kei is also a high achiever in anything that he does, but also greatly appreciates any challenge he cannot easily overcome. He currently holds the title of the Kagerou School's top student.
Shaohan: Smart yet reckless, Shaohan respects his craft, but he tries too hard to own moments instead of developing a lifelong pattern. He is also emotional when it comes to the mention of being left at the temple, but he doesn't let it bother him, and Prefers to be carefree. Shaohan can be very aggressive when provoked, but is otherwise very friendly and personable.
History: The Sho twins don't know their linage. As babies, they were dropped off at the door to the Kagerou Temple, by their mother, who became inpregnated by a powerful man (named Sho Raiden) who lived in a neighbooring town of Ping Qi. When she had been threatened, along with the lives of her children, she fled to Ping Qi to hide the children, but still taking the time to name them after their father.
They were raised in that temple, and had been there for their entire lives. Until Yoshi Tokugawa entered the temple. The temple master, Shu Yin took good care of them and taught them to live as simple people. As the master disciples of Yin 's Style, He bestowed upon them a staff/scepter known as "Shakujo (Khakkhara)". As they leave their small world with Tokugawa Yoshi, they will begin to discover just how small their world really was.
Strengths:
Kei: Has a strong sense of justice. He also is very cordial.
Shaohan: A decent sense of Purpose. Good at arguing his ideas.
Weaknesses: Kei lets his teachings rule his overall train of thought.

Appearence: Kei And Shaohan Both wear robes.
Kei's is white with a blue garb over it. His Hands are also bandaged from training. His Hair is sandy red color. His eyebrows are thick, and he has dark eyes. He also has a conical straw hat (coolie hat) from time to time.
Shaohan wears a black robe with a purple garb over it
He prefers sandals, while Kei wears a footed-shoe.
Both Men carry a Shakujo, and are very skilled in combat with or without them. Shaohan's is Circular, and Kei's is more of a Bull's Horn design. The wooden shaft can either be long for use as a walking stick or short to accompany in chanting. Each one has Six Rings, which represent the Six Perfections of Mayahana Buddhism (Paramitas):
Dāna paramita: generosity, giving of oneself
Śīla paramita : virtue, morality, discipline, proper conduct
Kshanti paramita : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance
Vīrya paramita : energy, diligence, vigor, effort,
Dhyāna paramita : one-pointed concentration, contemplation
Prajñā paramita : wisdom, insight
As a staff, the shakjo/ khakkhara could be wielded as a weapon, in Chinese wuxia novels the khakkhara is often the weapon of warrior monks, especially those of Shaolin Temple. It has been used in defensive techniques by traveling Buddhist monks all over Asia for centuries and monks at the Shaolin temple in China specialized in its use.
In Japan the shakujõ became a formidable weapon in the hands of a practiced Buddhist monk. It could be used as a staff to block and parry attacks and the metal rings at the tip could be slammed into an opponents face to momentarily blind him. At the very tip of the metal finial is a sharp point which can be used to attack weak points of the body. The bottom end of the khakkhara has a metal butt which can be used to thrust and hit an opponent. An opponents weapons can also be easily deflected.
