You're pardon I meant Emperor Ying Zheng aka Qin Shi Haung. Kyon's first death occured around the fall of Zhao. As I understand it, this warring States period lasted from 475 BC to 221 BC.
Yeah, I figured that out when I came back home. The period you are referring to is the one immediately before Liu Bang, the first Han Emperor, seized power.
The famed advisor Sun Bin lived in that era, too, and warlords Xiang Yu and Ying Bu as well as future Han strategist Zhang Liang and future Han Prime Minister Li Si made their first marks in history around that time.
...yes, I'm a nerd. Sue me. :snigger:

By Warring States era in China do you refer to the late Han/Three Kingdoms? Because if that's the case, Kyon should be around 1700/1800, not 2200.
Unless you mean the time when Liu Bang was Emperor, in which case nevermind.

Truth is, IÆve been alive since the Warring States period in my distant homeland, and had mastered the art of the sword by the time the land was being unified by the Emperor of Quin.

You know....hearing that Kyon was born during the warring states era just gave me an idea. The Overlord of Western Chu - Xiang Yu, one of the most iconic warlords in china's history and rival of Liu Bang died while slitting his own throat. Could this have had something to do with Kyon's backstory? I know he was born after the warring states era...but if Xiang Yu was an immortal, it would have made sense that he fabricated his birth date (immortals have a tendency to have been iconic figures in history).
Maybe Kyon was a rival/friend of Xiang Yu and another iconic figure from that period? Or, he could have been Xiang Yu himself and actually fabricated his own death to trick his enemies (his face was reported to have been mutilated). Especially if his enemy and sworn brother at the time Liu Bang knew of his status as an immortal. It'd certainly explain why Kyon is so capable at diplomacy in his current life....losing an empire can do a lot for a person's humility.
Then there's Jing Ke, the immortal from the Highlander EndGame movie. He was from same time period as Kyon...so they're probably related to each other in some way too.
