StrangerThings,

Let me know what you think about "The 1000 Hells" as a source of material for the Chronicle. I don't know what's going through your head on that one, but hope it inspires you none the less. It's based off of a Bruce Lee movie.

"The 1000 Hells" plot hook for "Year of the Dragon" chronicle:

Roughly based off of "Enter the Dragon", by Robert Clouse.

Plot: Pentax has operations on various rural islands around Hong Kong. They're manufacturing designer beauty products that addict end users with microscopic doses of acid and ecstasy. After about six weeks, all users experience the affects of a slow acting ingredient which encourages them to upgrade to the next line of products. This line uses scopolamine to send suggestions that are harder to refuse the longer they rely on the product. If anyone tries to quit cold turkey, they will start to feel depression symptoms and stop eating. After about a year of consumption the target is totally enthralled with the Pentax corporation. Pentax will conveniently contact a die hard fan around this time to see if they want to model the product line for their subsidiary. This is a back door into the porn industry [BDSM], followed up by child pornography and snuff films. With the Silk Road thriving right now, profits are booming and souls are jossless and corrupted.

Main Antagonist: Pentax - "Subsidiaries: A Guide to Pentax", "Pentax: An Employee Indoctrination Handbook 2017 Edition". The corporate front to Ghan Shou's (Bold Achiever) plans for summoning the Yama King Mikaboshi. The board of directors is unaware of Ghan Shou's dream of becoming a pawn to a Yama King.

Main Antagonist: Ghan Shou (Bold Achiever) - "World of Darkness: Hong Kong: pg 65". Wants to sell soul to Mikaboshi all at once using the Pact of Ebony and Scarlet Jade. Ghan Shou is tired of working with Qian Shi (A Thousand Seeds) and wants to move into his "proper" position of power. Hong Kong is but one city, Yomi Wan feels destined to rule all of Gaia in the Sixth Age alongside Mikaboshi.

Main Antagonist: Yama King Mikaboshi (Lord of the Wicked City) - "The 1000 Hells: pg 52". The easiest of the Yama Kings to summon to The Middle Kingdom. If the Characters can't stop Ghan Shou (Bold Achiever), then Mikaboshi offers them a deal to see if they will sell out their Coterie.
