“Bannerman: An Introduction” (##/24)

“Bannerman : An Introduction” // flavor: wuxia/comedic fantasy

Ancient China, a world renowned for history and magic, steeped in tradition and mystical mysteries, where citizens under the red-gold imperial structures of The Establishment meet, in awe and fascination, the buffeting agents of "jianghu," --wandering poets, warriors, performers, monks, and magicians embodying the collective spirit of Tao who seek to right the unspoken wrongs of the old regime. Meet Bannerman, one such legendary figure--an epigrammatist who specializes in calligraphic charms/talismans for sale that ward evil spirits, exorcise ghosts, summon deities and even invite good luck. Except, of course, this Bannerman is a fake. Witness his comedic adventures, exploits of a renegade brush dipped in questionable ink, weave bold incomprehensible strokes on the grand scrolls of fate that unfurl into tales of redemption and honor, heroism and faith.
