Not necessarily a failed taker of bureaucratic exams, though--having a falling out with one's instructor and mentor works just as well!  And as you say, mohism is an option.  :-)
Yeah, that's a classical reason to enter the world of Jianghu ;).
I'd like to ask you, though, what does your character want? In my experience, it's definitely easier if we know this.

I imagine his highest ambition is to find a nice cushy role as someone's trusted advisor on state matters, preferably in a wealthy land with good weather and beautiful women, where he can think profound thoughts all day without a care in the world.  This excellent ideal would be more easily attainable if only he weren't quite so principled...

Well, someone will have to get me the books, but I played a couple of the Dynasty Warriors games (go figure, my most recent exposure to Ancient China is a videogame, which is no real substitute), so I'm game.

But I call exorcist!

I think we are getting a classical Wu Xia mix here. Love, personal honour, ambition, thirst for knowledge, and who knows what else we are going to combine :D!
I'm looking forward to it!

I think we have enough people to make a start. I'll open an OOC thread a little later (only just home) and we can kick things around further there.

And Exorcists are fun. I played one myself. He was very good at spotting when the yin energy of a village was out of place, many times before the peasents there would even realise it themselves, and be only too glad to help clean things up in return for a some food, a bottle or two of something to warm you of an evening, a few coins perhaps, and who knows, maybe even a little company for the night. :)

You too one day shall die

I might be interested in this, but I have never played a game like this here. >.>

So, yeah, if you don't mind a noob... I would like to play. I would need some help however.
Finally in a rage we scream at the top of our lungs into this lonely night, begging and pleading they stop sucking up dry.There as guilty as sin, still as they always do when faced with an angry mob: they wipe the blood from their mouths and calm us down with their words of milk and honey. So the play begins, we the once angry mob are now pacified and sit quietly entertained. But the curtain exists far from now becasue their lies have been spoken. My dear, have you forgotten what comes next? This is the part where we change the world.
