Plot Hooks
♦ Chinatown: Danny is native to and a familiar face in Chinatown, serving as the manager of the Wing Kong Exchange, a hub for import from and export to the Orient - art, curios, and other cultural items of value. You scour these Chinatowns of the mind, translating them like sutras Xuan Zhang fetched from India, testing ways return might be possible against these homesick inventions, trace the traveller's alien steps across borders, and in between discover how transit has a way of lasting, the way these Chinatowns grew out of not knowing whether to return or to stay, and then became home.
♦ Occult: To those with Occult 3+, Danny is known as one of Chinatown's Taoist sorcerers. Mao Shan Sorcery is intended to be practiced to benefit the public but there will always be some bad eggs that abuse their knowledge by casting spells and commanding ghosts/spirits/demons to harm people. Keeping ghosts/spirits is what Taoist Masters are taught and can do. Ghosts Keeping is a way to seek them as spiritual servants to help out during Taoist Sorcery. Whether Mao Shan sorcery is considered White Magic or Black Magic will depend on the intentions of the Mao Shan master.
♦ Crime/Street: Those with Streetwise would know Danny as a former agent of Chinatown's Wing Kong triad. He was one of their hit men, once upon a time, but now seems to have retired and serves as a bureaucrat or functionary for the triad. A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.

"There are 12,800 hells located under the earth – eight dark hells, eight cold hells and 84,000 miscellaneous hells located at the edge of the universe. The Kuei-Jin bring a piece of each hell back to the Middle Kingdom with them."

"The souls of the deceased endure after death and must be kept happy by offerings and honor. If a spirit is not kept happy, perhaps because it had a bad death, an improper burial or has no descendants to perform the proper rituals, it becomes a hungry ghost."
