-Master of the Akashic Powers (200 pt version)
"Over here are Astin and Minh. The strange man with the orange eyes starting a slow, but deceptively simple rhythm of moves for Astin to follow that might not be out of place in any of the martial arts. Graceful arcs of the arms and hands. Long and high extensions of the feet, in slow time to the music. A workout, an exercise, a dance...it is all of these that the quiet reserved man is setting for Astin to follow."

"Actually, no, Bhangbadea, as a matter of fact I was not. I lived through the war in the shadow I spent most of my life in...I have no memories, however, even with a Patternwalk, of my life there or anywhere before I reached my teenage years."
"Prince Bleys located me, and discovered I was an Amberite about...12 years ago, Amber time. I He actually, he told me, discovered that I was throwing shadows off, and thus suspected that I might have the blood of the family. He convinced me to come to Amber, I walked the Pattern, and clinched it. Even if no one has managed to place me in the Amber family tree."
Tale of the Orange-eyed Man
Minh.
Or should his name translate as Mystery?
What is it like to have no past? If even the Pattern can not bring your history back for you own examination?
The Man without a Past.
Or is he?
Current Objectives: Having been sponsored by Bleys and approved by the Pattern, Minh is now quite settled into the scheme of things. His quiet and retiring nature lend him a comfortable presence. His plans, not too strangely, remain his own.
Privately, his curiousity and breadth of mind seek to solve the mystery of his own origin.

Tips for Playing Minh
"I suspect, Astin, that you would prefer to admire and observe the ladies."
Minh to Astin
"Ah, and the quiet Prince Minh accompanies you? Good evening good sir, it is good to see that not only the Princess Toireasa is able to pry you out of the Castle Amber."
Fredo to Minh
Make your comments count. Be perceptive, but not intrusive. Inject questions, but no answers. Everything is a mystery, everything has a point of interest.
Be silent and observe.
Minh is a man of many talents. He is good at many things, has no obvious weaknesses, and makes good company.
He has proven his friendship with important members of the court of Amber. Toireasa and Noys find his company preferred over many others.
Minh is something of a prodigy. While no one set of powers has drawn his complete focus, he manages to do well in most areas.
And he has a magick form not seen in the Golden Circle. He has a natural perception of Akashic energy and has mastered this enough to use the powers of knowledge that it brings.
For those who are not familiar with it. It is a etheric resonance that the living project from their auras into the mundane physical world. In times of stress or great emotion, the mundance world becomes imprinted with the sudden surge of Akashic power-- and traces of this can be read by a sensitive.
As such, Minh can simply touch objects and can tell things from physical evidence that much more elaborate methods might not bring to light.
Minh as Father
Minh has no plans for fatherhood. His remoteness, his maturity might create a gulf between himself and any children. Perhaps it would be the mother of those future children who had the most influence over them.
Minh as a Player of the Family Games
Minh's sense of politics is well honed. He is willing to let others make show, while he makes plans. In subtlety, he is already respected by Elders in the Family.
What better accolade could he have?
Allies and Enemies: Minh has only friends and no enemies. Powerful friends. Chief among them is Prince Bleys of Amber.
