History
Lin Gen was born in the north of the Mist Continent where like other children he was enrolled into the martial arts. He studied for a couple years alongside the future master of the school Daiyuri until she began to discuss Daoist Principles. He left the school and traveled south to continue his education. Once enrolled in a southern school, Lin Gen learned to manifest his Qi specifically in the element of Wood. He was a natural and soon learned to channel his Qi to turn into a dragon. Such power at such young age corrupted Lin Gen and he became proud and arrogant. He began to use his power for selfish reasons. One day he ran into a wise Ren Xiongmao who put him in his place, feeding him humble pie. She used her own Qi to seal away his dragon form into a weaker wood form. She than took him on a journey and re-educated him on the proper path and mindset of martial arts.
