Jingxu Thunderpaw

Jingxu Thunderpaw is the young master of the Monk fighting style, The Joung Fist. He is also a Wildcat within The Thousand Eyes.
Jingxu's birthday is on the 25th of May
==Synopsis==
Jingxu, unlike most Pandaren, is rather skinny and does not seem to gain weight that well. Despite this, he is perfectly healthy (with the exception being his leg, which was damaged during his childhood.) 
Jingxu normally is a serious Pandaren and slow to anger. He is very wise and only shows immaturity when joking with his friends. He is named one of the most prodigal Pandaren of his generation and during his time as a student, became well renowned and respected.
==The Joung Fist==
The Joung Fist is a particular kind of Monk fighting style, it was originally mastered by Joung Feng's great-grandfather Joung Shun. The style relies heavily on the use of staff combat and disarming opponants. Jingxu Thunderpaw started to learn the Joung Fist from his adoptive father when he was 29 (Human years.) Recently, with the death of Joung Feng, Jingxu has inheritantly become the master of the students studying. However this was after Jingxu went with the Horde. 
Jingxu's reflexes are frighteningly fast and even people with the most quick of reactions have trouble keeping up with his explosive speed. Despite having this, he is limited by his leg and long term strain has the possiblility of tearing the leg's muscles apart, becoming irreversible. 
Other Techniques
Jade Serpent Mistweaving - Jingxu spent 20 years learning how to mistweave to a impressive standard (considering his short time at the temple). Because of this, he is able to heal minor and moderate wounds in a very short amount of time; while larger wounds take longer.
Chi Enhanced attacks - Jingxu has knowledge in the use of binding chi to his attacks to increse the stopping power of his hits. His most dangerous technique is the "Black Dragon Palm" a technique which strikes particulary at pressure points, immobilizing and sometimes (not of purpose) killing the victim.
Pressure Points - Jingxu is a master at anatomy and know most of the different races pressure points, exploiting them for his use. He also has the ability to block a casting of a spell by hiting the ley points in the body. However it is rarely used because of how close he needs to get to his opponant. He also uses the ability as a substitute to hurting people in sparring matches, preferring to incappaciate them for a short while so that people can treat any injuries. 
Weapon Combat - Jingxu knows how to use a variety of weapons, Polearms, bows and his traditional dual swords and throwing axe. His expertise with weapons even rivals that of some Shado-pan.
Throwing - Jingxu has superb upper body strengh and is able to throw his trusty axe, given to him by a friend for a bet. 
Chi Control - Jingxu's control over his Chi is unrivaled in the region, he is able to distribute his chi at such a presise moment, he is able to continue using chi attacks for a sustained period without showing signs of physical tiring. This control is strengthened by the Feng family's technique, which allows the use of reserve chi found within the main chi reserve (the heart) to be used, giving the user a nearly unlimited supply of chi, at the cost of severely decreasing the user's lifespan.

==History - Chapter 1. Beginning==
Jingxu Thunderpaw was raised in Sri-la Village by his adoptive father Joung Feng. He was found by Joung Feng in the back of his garden, Jingxu was wrapped in a small blanket and had a note explaining that his real parents could not keep him. For the next 20 (Human) years he was treated like Joung's son and helped him run small tasks to the village or help his Joung Feng cook. 
When he was 27 he suffered a permanant injury to his leg due to an incident involving a number of similarly aged Pandaren, after a fight Jingxu was on the ground with a leg broken in multiple places. His father found him in the middle of the village, crying. After Joung Feng patched him up and attempted (as best he could) to repair some of the damage to the young Jingxu's damaged leg, however the damage did not fully heal and to this day, Jingxu has trouble running long distances without the use of painkilling spells or a mount. He started his training when he was 29 and made much more process than Joung Feng's other students. 
==Chapter 2. Depair and understanding==
At the age of 40, Sharom Feng (Joung Feng's sister) became ill with a lung disease. For the next 5 years she became slowly worse, when Jingxu was 45, Sharom died after collapsing during the a Pandarian festival. After the tragedy, Jingxu became more serious and slightly more aggressive, he spent more time training alone and did not want to socialise with the other students.
Six months later, he met Fialka Waterpounder. She was a new student of Joung Feng, studying mainly in healing. They where friends from the moment they met, for the next 2 years, Fialka became one of the best pupils to be taught by Joung Feng (second to Jingxu), much to the annoyance of the other students.
One day, one of the students called Aung, started picking on another Fialka for being "Jingxu's second best", angered by this Fialka started attacking Jingxu as he walked in to the training ground. During the fight, Fialka made a heavy blow to Jingxu's leg, half-crippling him. As Jingxu stood there, injured and exhausted, he saw Aung carry on to taunt Fialka, when she refused to finish of Jingxu, Aung struck Fialka down. Enraged with Aung hurting his friend, he attacked Aung again, this time knocking him out.
As Aung lay on the ground, Jingxu helped Fialka to her feet, she started crying and apologising for hurting him. At that moment, Joung walked into the ground, seeing the damage and Aung lying; unconscious on the floor, he asked for an explaination. Jingxu walked forward and exclaimed that Aung and him had fought and that he lashed out to knock out Aung, (therefore not letting Fialka take the blame.)
Expecting his father to be angry, he was suprised when Joung Feng smiled and turned to the other pupils before saying: "You now see what happens when you act rashly, by stopping to think about the consequences, you can stop the fight, rather than provoke it. Remember this."
From then on, Fialka and Jingxu became close friends.
==Chapter 3. A new kind of challenge ==
For the next 80 years, Jingxu and Fialka carried on to study under Joung Feng, when they had finally been taught everything he knew, he decided to have them do a little challenge. One day, he put them both in charge of a class of young students for them to teach. For the first time, Jingxu felt out of his comfort zone, Fialka on the other hand had a great time, she taught most of the females in the class a number of basic healing techniques, while Jingxu tried to teach the boys of the class how to hit a dummy. Halfway through the class, the boys started to mess around and tease the girls. Jingxu, (having finally lost his patience) started yelling at the class, Fialka was shocked at Jingxu's change and asked him to go outside. Angry, Jingxu stormed off. While outside he had an idea to make ammends. 
Jingxu used a knife to carve a small figurine of the Jade serpent out of wood, he then returned back into the class and shows them his creation. The class and Fialka where amaze with his work after his bad temper, something that Fialka admired in Jingxu. Jingxu then said these words to the class.
"I'm sorry, I lost my patience with all of you. I should be teaching how to be patient, and I did not show an example, I promise I won't lose my temper again."
As Jingxu finished, one of the small students comes up and smiles at him, "Mr Jingxu, could you teach us how you did that?"
With that Jingxu started to teach the class how to carve wood while Fialka sat down.
==Chapter 4. Envoy to the Jade Serpent Temple==
A while after Jingxu's training was complete, He had risen to become a master at the school. His next task was to transfer to the Temple of the Jade Serpent to learn about Mistweaving and also for Fialka to get some more "Specialised" training. This was the first actual time Jingxu has left home on his own. During the first couple of months, Jingxu and Fialka made astounding process. However, Jingxu started to become very homesick and privately said to Fialka that he would of prefered to stay home. 
Jingxu then met Mei Jadepaw, currently a student at the Temple, they became good friends during their time at the temple. During this time, Fialka and Jingxu's relationship blossomed and began to see eachother as a couple, much to the annoyance of the other students. After 20 years solid work, Jingxu and Fialka both left the academy, Fialka, having master the art in 10 years (and teaching for 10 more years), while Jingxu mastering it in 20.
They left behind many new friends and where saddened to leave them, before Jingxu left, he scratched a small symbol into one of the pillars, marking it as a memory he would never forget..
==Chapter 4. A new land==
9 years later, Jingxu and Joung recieved word from someone from a neighbouring island that strange people have arrived on the shore. Jingxu went to investigate, only to find a number of strange looking people being layed by civilians on the ground, obviously injured.
Jingxu and Fialka began to heal the strangers, among them where tauren (in which the pandaren mistook for yaungol.)

====Staff====
Jingxu's staff is made from the wood of a tree that grew in Joung Feng's garden.  The composition of other materials in the staff has made it nearly unbreakable (Which is odd because it still has flexibility.) It was passed down to Jingxu through Joung Feng when he left for Kalimdor. 
====Dual Blades====
Jingxu's fall-back weapons are a pair of stubby swords, they are sort of a cross between a sword and an axe due to the relative width of the blades. Jingxu normally keeps them in his sachel or on his belt.
