Amnesia? confused

ooo can I help with the story too? That'll be fun! Let me think up a character..

Threw this together in about 5-10 minutes for the Blue Monk Creed. Let's hear some thoughts on it.

Monks of the Clothed Veil, or Blue Monks

Of the many monastic orders in the world, one stands distinctly apart from the others. Most monastic orders encourage one to find the strength within ones self. Only through this self reliance can you truly ascend. The Monks of the Clothed Veil teach a different dogma. Rather than only relying on personal strength, which is indeed important, you must experience the world around you and incorporate that into your being. Experience teaches what meditation cannot. Therefore, monks of the clothed veil seek to strengthen themselves by wandering the world, learning what they can from friend and foe alike. Meditation and inner reflection are a part of this order as they are with many others, with most monks giving time at the end of the day to reflect on their new adventure. Through generations of practice and experience, they have gained an almost psychomantic skill. There are many items in the world that contain vast experience and power. These can either be inherent to it, as in magical relics, or can be simply gained through use and proximity to a being with notable skills. By touching these items, a Blue Monk can learn the skills hidden in the items and take into themselves the experiences therein. Even after the skill is learned, many blue monks keep these items, though they do not share them with others of their order. To do that would rob the other of the experience in gaining the skill. The eldest of the order can barely be seen under the various power items they have accumulated, yet manage to move perfectly and execute their attacks flawlessly. The Monks of the Clothed Veil fight barehanded except where as skill would call for otherwise. Often, the skills that call for other tools are held within those tools, forcing the monk to keep them to use them.

Zelyhon, a young monk of the order, has completed his basic training in the hidden cloisters. Once a noviciate completes his basic training, he is asked to leave and begin experiencing the world and learning on his own. This is precisely what has happened to Zelyhon. He knows of the world, as education of the environment and surroundings is key to learning more of them later. This means he is not uneducated or naïve. He simply seeks to learn more at every turn.

Possible later quests:
Conflict with other monks
Legendary Power Item
Monastic rank/Challenging the masters
Ascension/losing the physical form within the items.
