Humble beginnings. It could be said the history of the Zhongli started when Genkei and Yua Zhongli had their child Jukane Zhongli. The Zhong weren't considered a noble house by any means, their reputation was small and they didn't command any large legions of soldiers or guards. They were simple pot makers, Genkei following the footsteps of his forefather's before him. A humble and comfortable life of a pot maker, Genkei worked close with his brother Gouki in selling these pots across towns to make some good money. What Genkei didn't know was, Gouki used these pots to sell in many many towns including ones within the rogues refuge. Where he started to use these pots in order to distribute illegal wares, items, weapons and poisons for a local gang. All right under the eye of Genkei whom had no idea, believed his brother was just doing really well selling the pots.
[break][break]
Gouki wasn't initially trying to hurt or betray his brother, he simply wanted to acquire more riches not just for himself but for his brother, sister-in-law and niece Jukane as well. One could say his heart was in the right place, but his actions could only lead to one thing. It wasn't until Genkei was shopping through the markets one day with a young Jukane, and he noticed his pots were being destroyed by local law enforcement. For reasons he didn't know why, he sought why they were destroying his pots? Believing everyone loved his pots simply for his handiwork, but there was horror on his face when he saw vials of poison and illegal weapons being stored in the pots that were destroyed. The guards immediately arrested Genkei for his hand in the distribution of illegal weapons and poison. Despite claiming he was innocent, and the cries of his young daughter Jukane. He brought to prison for his alleged crimes. Now that the distribution of were ceased, the gang Gouki was working for sought to be repaid for items lost. While Genkei was in prison the gang captured Gouki, Yua and Jukane and brought them all back to the Rgoues Refuge. Demanding payment from Gouki they threatened him and Yua, leaving the young Jukane nothing to do but watch. For days they beat him bloody, the beatings getting worse and worse by the day. They soon started to put their hands on Yua, but Jukane stood between them with a bloody shard of glass she found. Wanting to protect her mother by any means, the young girl just wanted to go back to the simple humble life they had.
[break][break]
The gang laughed at the little girl trying to protect her mother, Gouki was amazed by her courage though. All laughing ceased when a large man in the gold and red armor raised his hand. He approached Jukane slowly, his size and his face was threatening all on it's own. Yua pleaded for him to not hurt the poor child for she doesn't know what she's doing. The large man looked at the young Jukane with a peculiar look on his face, staring at her eye to eye. "Oh but I think she does know. What is your name young one?" he asked her now bending on one knee. "J-J-J-Jukane." the fear in her stutters were evident and tears were falling down her cheeks. She was still holding that bloody shard and her hands were shaking like crazy. "Jukane. That's a nice name. I have to ask you a very important question Jukane. Do you know why you are here? Why all this is happening?" he asked her gesturing to the bloody and beaten Gouki and her terrified mother with bruise marks on her face. Gouki tried to shout. "She's just a little girl Shen! She doesn't know anything about what's going on!" Shen looked at him coldly and that was more than enough to shut him up. "Well Jukane?"
[break][break]
She hesitated for a moment still visibly shaking. "B-b-b-because Uncle Gouki p-p-p-p-put us in d-d-danger." she managed to get out. Shen nodded. "Yes your uncle did put you and your parents in allot of danger, unfortunately. Because of the things he did horrible things have to be done." Shen said with a honest and yet remorseful voice. He looked at the bloody shard she was still holding and saw tiny little fingerprints of it decaying. He stood up and adjusted his armor. "Do you know what horrible things?" he asked her. The young Jukane hesitated before nodding tears still falling down her face. "May I take your uncle Jukane?" was his next question something that caught even the rest of his men off guard. Yua and Gouki looked speechless at him and then at Jukane. Gouki tried to get back on his feet, but was tackled to the wall by one of the men. Jukane couldn't answer just left staring at the ground now. Shen put his hands on her head, Yua instantly shouted to get his hands off her daughter to which he just ignored. "Sometimes Jukane, we have to sacrifice things that are very dear to us to save the ones we truly love." after a few moments of silence, Jukane nodded her head yes. Shen gave the signal and they dragged Gouki out of the room him shouting the names of Yua and Jukane over and over, pleading for his life. Right outside the room the sound of a large axe chop deafened the air, and the screams of Yua followed right after.
[break][break]
It was after that moment where Jukane's life had changed forever, but so did her mentality. She had given Shen the permission to kill her own uncle in order to save herself and more importantly her mother. Yua was left at lost grateful but also terrified of what Jukane might become. It was as if she could feel the warmth and the coldness of Jukane at the same time. Because of the sentencing of Genkei he was to be in prison for quite some time, leaving Yua and Jukane with Shen and his men. But life for them wasn't completely horrible. Shen had visited Jukane quite a few times as the months went by, taking her from the cell they were locked in to the outdoors. Gifting her expensive items and jewels from time to time, as a father would do his child. Yua had her suspicions about this, but in order to protect herself she could do nothing about it just pray that her child come back safely each time. And every time Jukane did, each time her demeanor becoming more and more happier as if she was forgetting the situation they were currently in.
[break][break]
But Jukane didn't forget at all, Shen was grooming her to be something dangerous and Jukane allowed it. Not for her own personal desires or greed, but for her mother and father for her love for them. Shen had told Jukane that if she obeyed him and did everything he asked, he would see her father freed from prison, her mother let go unharmed and money for all three of them to be very happy. She only needed to complete the jobs tasked to her, and serve him without question. She agreed without hesitation, leaving Yua nothing to do but to watch her daughter grow up into something wicked.
[break][break]
Years have passed with Jukane killing, stealing, blackmailing, distributing, spying and extorting for Shen. Now longer a little girl, but now a young woman. Seasoned in the ways and the workings of the underworld, lethal and extremely efficient. There wasn't many whom even thought about getting in her way. She honed her extremely rare Decay element to levels some thought could never be achieved. Her efforts were not all for naught, she was able to get her mother Yua out of the cell and she lived in a nice home. Her mother knew of her daughter's actions and said nothing, now she could barely look Jukane in the face. But what made Jukane different was the fact she wasn't a slave doing Shen's dirty work, or being forced to do anything. Everything she did was because she wanted to do so, it was all her choice.
[break][break]
Eventually Shen made good on his promise, and her father after years was released from prison do to connections Shen was able to gain with the some law enforcement. After years of not seeing each other, Genkei took one look at his daughter and could tell what she had become. But now that he was out both parents begged for her to let this life go, so they can move on and all be happy together. But Jukane made the choice to stay, she wanted to put her parents in a nice home in a nice village while she stayed in the Forsaken region, rising in power. But Genkei and Yua now wanted nothing to do with their daughter and the person she had become in order to save them and they decided to leave.
[break][break]
Her actions though initially made out of the purity of saving her father and mother had turned her into something else entirely. For years Jukane continued to work her through the world of crime rising in power and experience. Very few dared to cross her and even more wanted to follow her. As brutal and lethal as Jukane was, she was always fair in her dealings so allies naturally decided to come along. But even with allies and followers nothing could replace the loss of family now with both her parents leaving her. But she would be a much better parent, she would never leave or judge her children. It wasn't long before she fell in love and started a family on her own...
[break][break]
A mother less mother (Story to be told at a later date)...
[break][break]
Through loss and heartbreak Jukane found the solution for the loss of two families now, by saving another. Jukane had just finished getting revenge on the ones who wronged her, they had left twins behind. With her own lover and child ripped away from her she decided to take these twins as her own. She would have a family even if she had to take it herself and she would let no one stop her. The twins were named Kiro and Kira Zhongli and this act alone brought rise to how the House of the Zhongli was formed. Believing she could no longer trust anyone to have a child with, she would 'adopt' her children instead. What started with Kiro and Kira came more children all under her care and her house. Some happened by chance, other circumstances were orchestrated in her favor but nevertheless Jukane ended up with a few children that were trained to be just as efficient as she was. There was certain restrictions of course on whom she decided to adopt, they could never be over a certain age and the parents mostly had to be gone for good sometimes exceptions were made.
[break][break]
Jukane Zhongli had turned heartbreak and tragedy into strength and power as she saw it. Her first family left her and the other ripped away from her, she made her own with her children that she loved and adored. This was how the Zhongli were created.
