- Yovshin Swordsmen
- Atrisia
- Religion Name: Kaor Wukong
- Religion Type: Force based
- Influence: Planetary
- Influence Area: The Xianlong region of Atrisia within the massive mountain ranges and monasteries. Their relationship with the rest of Atrisia is seen as a good thing as they are treated like more personal Yovshin Swordsmen ... elite warriors who will protect them and mediate disputes but are not solely bound to protecting and ensuring the influence of the Emperor. They are able to disagree and expected to be neutral and non-bias in arguments.
- Symbol: Emblem
- Description: Remnants of Atrisias jedi temple were cast out after the attack into the mountains and stumbled upon the Agora mountains. Five mountains in a circle that looked like fingers and a hand coming up out of the earth. There they formed a new temple in isolationed and were discovered eventually by the jedi princess Junko after she had been told about the hand on the surface from Chitei. Formed like a traditional order it has adopted Atrisin designations and philosophy into the jedi code.
- Founder: Tripitaka Wukong
- Membership: Be force sensitive, serve the lightside of the force and be atrisian
- Sacred: Jark'kai Sabers: Designed as interlocking lightsabers able to go from staff to duel blades.
- Dogma:
- The Jedi Code: Adapted from the initiates code, the Wukong are an offshoot trained by former jedi and even Inquisitors from Atrisians empire. Their code it repeated to keep them in the lightside of the force.
- Philosophies:
Like Water: "One must be like water in their mind. Water never waits. It changes shape and flows around things, and finds the secret paths no one else has thought about -- the tiny hole through the roof or the bottom of the box. There's no doubt it's the most versatile of the five elements. Nothing is softer than water yet it can overcome earth; it can put out fire; it can wear a piece of metal down and sweep it away. Even wood, which is its natural complement, can't survive without being nurtured by water. We do not fight. It flows around the problem, formless and work to resolve it at first without killing." - The Wukong are meant to be free to act as needed, able to listen and not take a side determining judgement even if it means they must shift and change.
- Teachers: "The man who honors his teacher honors himself."
- The lessons of their masters are drilled, taught and given to each student of the Wukong. The work that they do, the lives that they live, the people they have met. Everything has value and every lesson is something that shapes the Wukong themselves.
- The Yovshin:
- Regarded by the Wukong with high honor and status. Most of the first class of Wukong were taken from the ranks of the Yovshin for their discipline and code of honor. Then adapting it to teach with the principles of the lightside of the force.
- Protection: "One must understand something. If you fight and should lose, not only does your future end, but also the future of the one you are trying to protect. Defeat isn't an option for the sword that protects others. You should keep that thought engraved in your heart."
- When a blade must be activated then it is to be used and the wielder cannot fail or perish. It is meant to teach them the higher levels of respect for life and what they can do with their skills and power if they are not careful.
- Courage: "You can die anytime, but living takes true courage."
- One of the biggest goals of the Wukong is to live, to promote life and from their peopleto their enemies. If there is a way to not kill them the first option is to try and find it.
- The Emperor/Empress: The highest authority, while they serve the lightside of the force protecting life... the Emperor and Empress are the viewed embodiment of it and who will serve. If the emperor and empress becomes corrupted by the darkside it is their duty to save them or stop them.
- 500 Days: The initial training period of young Wukong when their trials and judgement is rendered. If they manage to show ability at the end they are welcomed into the Wukong order, if they fail they are sent home or allowed to remain within the temple staff. Their training might end but they will be around to help others.
- Reputation: Regarded as new on Atrisia but quickly rising to a status of trusted. The Wukong settle disputes and are renowned for their ability to remain neutral listening to all sides of a conflict and rendering a fair and reasonable judgement. Their resolution and adherence to the lightside of the force, working with the royal family and defending the emperor is also important. One of the biggest hurdles was overcoming the inquisition and what they did with force sensitive children... the Wukong don't take the children by force but to ask that if hey need help controlling their powers they be called upon to teach them.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Founded in the aftermath of the Netherworld and various wars across Atrisia. The Wukong are relatively young as a force order and take their organization from ancient sources. They are artists, scholars, monks and meditative force users who work to learn the mysteries of the force itself. Functioning as servants to the lightside of the force and guiding force sensitive Atrisians. The Wukong were taken to the Agora temple... an ancient structure created by what became the atrisians of Chitei.
There at the Agora they worked to rebuild the temple and spread out their influence across the world. From the great wall where the masters who could were set to contain and work on trying to nullify the darkside nexus... to Chitei to find those who could feel the force and would be able to be brought back with them. The first class of the Wukong was built by Yovshin and jedi teachers. Combining what they knew of the codes together to create a hybrid.
Later the work that was going into it was tested as the Jishi era was being brought in. Massive reforms for educations, industrialization, military and agriculture. The Anshin was being built to defend the planet... the continents were being united under the Sunflower Emperor and Cherry Wine Empress. Their heir Shoma working hard diplomatically to increase ties for the commonwealth. Some of them went out to the colonies and space finding those who could work as pilots and captains.
The relatively young nature of the Wukong order means that it has a lot of room to expand and as they work to refine their philosophies , their teachings and most importantly work to secure Atrisia itself helping the people across the world. The clans that contribute to it have been beneficial so that there is always a place for them to find shelter. From far and wide they have the new airships to travel around the planet and shuttles to head up to the megastructure Anshin.
