===== Bamboo Village =====
All characters begin play in a small, quiet village, hidden in the mountains. **Bamboo Village** is a safe haven for **vagabonds**, who are aspiring kung fu masters who have not yet pledged themselves to a clan. By the time you leave Bamboo Village, you'll have passed from the **Losing Self** step to **Gathering Chi**, you will know a few basic kung fu techniques, and you'll be ready to select a clan to join.

The inhabitants of Bamboo Village will help introduce you to some of the various aspects of the game. You can also press **F1** to access the in-game help function. If you miss or forget a lesson, or you just can't wrap your head around what the villagers are saying, this guide will go into more detail, and cover some topics missed by the villagers and in-game help.

====== Basic UI ======
The **User Interface **, or **UI**, is how you monitor information about your character. There's a lot of information here, so we are breaking it into sub-sections, and briefly describing the function of each. Later sections will go into more detail on these functions.

==== Player Plate ====
Vital information about your character is displayed here.

The top bar is your character's current **Step** and **Cheng**, which corresponds to your **level**, which is also displayed. Below is your character's **Name**.

Most important is the red bar, which displays your character's **Life** or **HP**. If you suffer **External Wounds**, they will be displayed as a number on the right side of the bar.

The blue bar displays **Vital Energy**, which is needed to perform kung fu. **Internal Wounds** are displayed similarly to External. If you move the mouse over the bars, you'll get a full readout of your character's **Stats**.

The icon on the left of the bars displays your character's **Role**. The icon displayed on the right side is a **Debuff**, one of many negative conditions which temporarily diminish or negate your character's abilities. **Buffs** are also displayed here, and which are effects which temporarily increase a character's power/performance. Moving your mouse over a buff or debuff usually provides more information on it.

The "plus" icon indicates that your character has unspent **Attribute** and/or **Mastery** points.
