[b][color=#ff6666]Limit break:[/color][/b] Pacifism complication. Bao’s peaceful and philosophical nature is flipped and is replaced with a nihilistic and homicidal personality. While the bulk of his anger is directed at the entire world he has a preference for attacking anyone he deems disrespectful, especially young people. [b][color=#ff6666]Gender:[/color][/b] Male [b][color=#ff6666]Age:[/color][/b] 54 [b][color=#ff6666]Birthplace:[/color][/b] Solovan, The North [b][color=#ff6666]Appearance Description:[/color][/b] An old and fragile man who walks around in exclusively traditional clothing. The old man interprets his age as an indicator for wisdom and vitality and is satisfied with his mature appearance. His facial hair is straight from being stroked during constant brainstorming sessions to the point where nothing can change its shape. He is shorter than the average Ledaal and weighs surprisingly little for someone with such a plump body. [b][color=#ff6666]Gear:[/color][/b] An old and beautiful staff, sketchbooks and writing materials, pouches with tea, a small leather bag. [b][color=#ff6666]Skills and combat abilities:[/color][/b] "Fluent" in multiple languages, talented in calligraphy and meditation. Bao uses air dragon style martial arts, which emphazise flexibility, agility and awareness of one's surroundings. The air dragon style focuses heavily on acrobatics and fast attacks as well as balance and composure during combat. While typical users of this style fight using chakram, Bao prefers the fast and unbalancing attacks that his staff is capable of dishing out. Bao has low physical strength, with his attacks being more suited to stunning and knocking down opponents rather than outright wounding or killing them. His talent in meditating and practicing the air dragon style make him incredibly good at anticipating where enemy strikes will land, although he is an overly dramatic person with a tendency to strike poses and converse in the middle of combat. [b][color=#ff6666]Anima:[/color][/b] At first glance, Bao's anima is underwhelming yet typical for an air aspect terrestrial exalted. A strong gust of wind blasts around him hard enough to visibly affect and lift up his robes. The unconventional part of his anima manifests in the form of strange noises that are heard after he spouts a quote. No one is sure of their source. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1wcuoxs4mU]A little something like this[/url] [b][color=#ff6666]Likes:[/color][/b] Meditating, nature, humility and pacifism. Bao frequently discusses his unique flavor of philosophy to anybody who will listen. Courtesy and manners are a vital part of all social interactions. Often passes the time by writing poetry. [b][color=#ff6666]Dislikes:[/color][/b] The arrogance found in younger generations, sternly scolding any would be offenders. He dislikes modern trends and music. Having his deep snippets of wisdom ignored will irritate him. [b][color=#ff6666]Personality:[/color][/b] He is incredibly wise and patient, sharing poetic sayings for any occasion. Bao is an extreme pacifist and a philosopher by heart, questioning the role of people in the universe and often stopping to enjoy the moment in questionable situations. He is incredibly stubborn and will go to ridiculous lengths to prove himself right. For someone who invests so much effort into etiquette, Bao has a surprisingly rock bottom amount of self-awareness over the things he says and how inappropriate they can be sometimes. He interprets his exaltation as proof of being a wise and grand man despite it happening so late into his life. [b][color=ff6666]Biography:[/color][/b] Ledaal Ling Bao is a member of the Ledaal dynasty who partook in the fine arts of his country. Although one with dragon's blood is expected to gain the powers of an exalted through genetics, it seemed that Bao had missed his chance after his youth faded. The young terrestrial was angry at the world, and demanded answers through philosophy. It was then that he learned to let go of his worries, and so began a total spiritual transformation. No longer harboring any ill will towards his surroundings, he became a well known poet and artist in Ledaal. In his mid fifties the old man was content with his current life and embraced his uniqueness as a sign that he was meant to be one of his dynasty's great thinkers. However, the universe had other plans for Bao, as he became an exalted against all odds. The temple of fine arts that was once his home was now reluctant to accept his works out of suspicion and accusing him of hiding his exalted status to flee from combat. To make matters worse he now had a second personality that had to be controlled in order to avoid it taking over his body and spewing hatred. Bao was talented at dissecting the beautiful characteristics of the world and was a master of meditation, two skills that were indispensable in his closed off world of art. However, things changed and he now had the challenge of fighting against an inner voice that resented everything around him and had to be suppressed. He decided that he'd have to find a way to reach an even higher stage of inner peace and is now dead set on the idea of setting out into the world and learning to appreciate it as much as possible.
