Interesting concept. I always was a fan of the orochi mythology, and it's a nice touch that his faction was the Snakes. It'd be even more interesting if he was connecting to the Snakes of the Rogue Isles.
Only one complaint, though.
Orochi is from japanese mythology--the Tsoo are Chinese. Specifically, they're Hmong.
This incessantly amuses me whenever they wear japanese Oni masks.
ah I did not realize the origin of the Tsoo, I assumed they were non-specific Asian, as so many characters/factions/classes in video games tend to be.
I actually thought long and hard about connecting them to the snakes, but couldn't find anything tangible, since the snakes (if I remember properly) are linked to the Mu somehow, although I could be wrong, I'm pretty new to CoX and haven't done as much research into the storyline as I could.
thanks nonetheless though, this btw is the origin/RP for my newest char, an MA/regen stalker I just made.

Report: Master Orochi was once the leader of the Snake Enforcer sect of the Tsoo, leading his minions on high profile assasination and assault missions, working from the shadows as one of the Tsoo's foremost generals. He was placed under suspicion within the Tsoo's ranks for researching so-called "forbidden techniques" in a bid to make himself the most powerful warrior within their numbers. Upon learning that he was being examined he started his bid to take over the Tsoo, planning to hire them out as mercenaries to Arachnos. Orochi eliminated many rival generals in secret, managing to remove over half their numbers before it was even discovered that he was assasinating his rivals. Once his plot was discovered an all-out war erupted among the Tsoo, with his Snake enforcers and many turncoats from other factions within the Tsoo fighting on his side, alas, it was a failed coup, with the entire Snake faction killed, along with their treasonous counterparts from the Dragon, Tiger and Crane factions.
Orochi was believed killed, as a badly mutilated corpse was found with his trademark mask upon its face, it has since been learned that Orochi survived the massacre, and is now hiring himself out as a contract assasin to anyone that can afford his rather steep price. He recently joined Cabal Enterprises, although has yet to be seen with any other employees. Also, Orochi was recently promoted to the rank of "Specialist Operative" within Arachnos, striking Longbow, Wyvern, and any other heroes that trouble Lord Recluse.
Orochi has many powerful abilities, most gained through magical means during his search for power within the Tsoo. Stealth, self regeneration, and powerful martial arts techniques being the most notable of these, although foremost among his abilities is <<<CONNECTION TERMINATED>>>
