He doesn’t talk in riddles though, if he sees a problem and a trouble that is affecting someone, he will always give advice, be it for better or for worse, Mu suffers from the problem of being excited by the possibility of a great tale of which he could experience. Causing such experiences was his speciality after all, and he seeks nothing else than to truly experience that taste of immortality one more time in his new form and meet new people, even if he can be quite upfront and mysterious, he has good intentions even if they are layered with curiosity and mystique. Besides his calculating and precise way of thinking, Mu is also very open to enjoying the sweeter things in life, especially feasts. [b]Bio:[/b] King Mu was always destined to be a king, born into his father’s failure, he aspired for greatness as a king but aimed even higher, to accomplish much more than any king of Zhou would ever reach. Not much is known of him as a child but he took the throne with comfort after his father’s failures in the south led to his death. Immediately, Ji man became King Mu of Zhou, making his mark on the dynasty with its most pivotal years, reforming the kingdom from a broken and corrupt hereditary system to a much more prosperous modern system based on intellect and competence. Although his role as a mystic adventurer is well known, his military and political accomplishments are nothing to laugh at, quickly squashing out invaders from the west and spreading the influence of Zhou further east into more of China, succeeding in bringing more tribes that he encountered under his command not through warfare, but through discussion and agreements, his atmosphere being enough to sway others to serve under his banner. He would later engage in more wars and battles, culminating in peace but it was true that he was never fully happy with the length of the mortal coil, realising he had to reach immortality for his rule to achieve what he so badly wanted. He put the word out and one such hopeful brought to him a fully functioning automaton, hoping that displaying his ingenuity to create artificial life would maybe help King Mu. Whilst thoroughly impressed and in awe at such brilliance, this was not the method that he chose. A brave charioteer and a court was formed to escort King Mu to the mystical mountains of Kunlun where it was said immortality could be achieved. The charioteer escorted him upon his chariot of five horses to the mountains beyond the heavens, to Kunlun, where he could taste the peaches of immortality. Upon arriving there he met the Queen Mother of the West with whom he feasted for days upon days before eventually being fully rejuvenated and returning, having tasted the fruits of immortality, he had found himself happy with his findings but never truly reaching the true immortality he had strived for, but many theorise that upon meeting the great Queen Mother, he had realised that he must pass at some point, so his immortality whilst potent, was not perfect. And so King Mu of Zhou died, aged 103, leaving his descendants to rule, but his story became immortalised, his actions immortalised, and his spirit it lived on. [b]Weapon:[/b] Magic _________________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Parameters:[/b] [i]Strength:[/i] E [i]Endurance:[/i] D [i]Agility:[/i] D [i]Mana:[/i] B [i]Luck:[/i] A _________________________________________________________________________________________ [u][b]Class Skills:[/b][/u] [i]Territory Creation – A: [/i] Because of his large association with Kunlun and the feast with Queen Mother, King Mu is able to recreate the feast area, making a large expanse of land resemble the glimpse of paradise, creating his own workshop where he can expend much less mana and also bumps up his Blessing of the Queen Mother to be able to heal more lethal wounds. Whilst in his territory other allies can feel their wounds begin to regenerate as well. [i]Item Construction – C:[/i] Allows Mu to create talismana related to his tale that can produce various effects all related to mystic tales associated with him. Also allows the creation of peaches that can imbue those who ingest them with healing that can restore mental effects but not physical injuries. [u][b]Personal Skills:[/b][/u] [i]Charisma – B: [/i] In all stories and tales, Mu has always been revered as a competent King who would rally others to his cause with nothing but words, an inspiration to all around him with a beautiful way with words. This rank allows Mu to inspire those who follow him with a rank up in endurance for a limited time, this can also be applied to the Automaton. [i]Queen Mother’s Blessing – C: [/i] King Mu always strived for immortality and its rumoured that he had accomplished it due to his long age but had decided he had seen enough of life and had chosen to retire of his own accord. As such, the eternal blessing of the Queen Mother who he had met at Kunlun always hung with him, restoring his body. At this rank, minor wounds inflicted on Mu heal quickly but larger more dangerous wounds take much more time, mortal and fatal wounds cannot be regenerated by this at all and require proper rest for this skill to regen them, but the skill regenerates minor wounds almost instantaneously. [i]Tale of King Mu, Son of Heaven – A: [/i] This skill denotes the many mythical tales of King Mu and his association with all things mystical. Although he was never a magic practitioner in life, this skill allows him to utilise the mysticism that he always lived around. Allows him to use wind and water based magecraft as well as spells and tricks related to the Feast at Kunlun and minor usage of clockwork parts as projectiles. _________________________________________________________________ [b]NOBLE PHANTASMS[/b] [hider=Noble Phantasms] [b]Title:[/b] He Who Dreams of Eternity [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]NP Type:[/b] Anti-Self [b]Range:[/b] 1 [b]Maximum Number of Targets:[/b] 1 [b]Description:[/b] King Mu’s legacy was always attached to immortality, for he would give anything to reach those blessed fruits and travel the distance to finally achieve his dream. Not only does his tale reflect this, but his age at the end of his years shows that he had gained true restoration, allowing him to live to 102, but many rumours surrounding the legend of his visit to Kunlun and his achieving immortality still circulated. As such, summoned as Caster, Mu has the ability to activate this Noble Phantasm with these words, his belief of immortality and his drive for eternity encompassing him within a peachy mist, as it envelops his body it allows him to achieve temporarily immortality. Whilst the mist enshrouds him (this can only last for 2 minutes at a push) he is rendered essentially immortal, whilst this in effect he can still fight and interact with others but Charisma and Queen Mother’s Blessing as well as Automaton, Gift of the King are sealed whilst this Noble Phantasm is in action. For all intents and purposes, Mu becomes indestructible but no stats are changed and any conditions he was suffering are healed up but after the Noble Phantasm passes he is just as weak as he was before. He cannot use this Noble Phantasm more than once in a short period of time and this can be restrictive to his Master. [b]Title:[/b] Automaton, Gift of the King [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]NP Type:[/b] Anti-Unity [b]Range:[/b] 0-10 [b]Maximum Number of Targets:[/b] 1 [b]Description:[/b] One of his most famous tales is the tale of an inventor gifting the King of Mu his prized Automaton, a fully operational mechanical human that can think and feel for itself, when it was presented to him, he was at first apprehensive but appreciated it nonetheless, a gift that would forever be incorporated into tales of the heavenly king. He treats the automaton as his loyal servant and its legend almost precedes him. Upon uttering its name Mu summons a humanoid shaped automaton, with stats at all D rank and can mentally command the creation to carry out his bidding if he otherwise occupied but the automaton also has its own personality and can be quite cocky, when activated with no instructions it will just tease and lounge around. The automaton can be destroyed but can be later resummoned even after death showcasing that it can always be rebuilt. [/hider] [b]Fighting Style:[/b] Utilises wind and water magecraft to fling spells and protect himself with constructs related to Tale of King Mu. [/hider]
