[hider=Chinese Imperialism is Cool, right?] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/RXDVEY4.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/UvKG7t2.png[/img][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Wei Jianjun [b]Titles:[/b] Guardian to the Family Qing [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Team:[/b] Blue/Red [b]Alignment:[/b] Lawful Evil [b]History:[/b] The Qing Dynasty is not dead in the hearts of its people. While the People's Republic of China claims ownership of the world's oldest country, the Qing Dynasty was never fully consumed or snuffed out. Rather, there are factions who live within China, that wish to see the return to power of the Dynasties that once ruled China for eons, and the resurgence of China's Emperors who exist as Gods among men. Jianjun is a child born of one of these 'organizations.' A boy raised from childhood to protect the last heir to the Qing dynasty (who was raised in captivity by that very organization to become a puppet ruler.) It is that very organization that chose Jianjun, though what that means is unknown. Was he kidnapped from his family at a young age? Born into the organization? Given up by his parentage? He doesn't know, and it hardly matters to him in the least. Rather that he is devoted wholly to the Dynasty. The grandmasters who determined the flow of Jianjun's life kept a tight grip on his life. Training in him all manner of things that would befit the life of a guardian of the emperor. Martial arts, weapons training, medical aid, etc. He is an agent who exists completely for the emperor's needs. It is the desire of the Emperor to be that Jianjun acts now. Under the guise of a mercenary, Jianjun has entered the Holy Grail war, operating under the Clocktower. [b]Personality:[/b] Jianjun can be described in the most simple terms as... Devoted. He believes in his cause, and his cause believes in him. Perhaps it is because he has lived in an echo chamber for most of his life that outsider views are unwanted, and even the views of his own people are uninformed if they disagree with his own. He is quite polite, quiet, and best of all, unobtrusive. Talents desirable of a member of the emperor's elites. If one asked him how high he can jump, he would show it. And it's quite the distance. [u][b]Magecraft[/b][/u] [hider=Chinese Magic(k)] [b]Quality of Circuits:[/b] D [b]Quantity of Circuits:[/b] C [b]Elemental Affinity:[/b] Wood [b]Attribute:[/b] Guardian [b]Magecraft:[/b] Traditional Mysticism was never something Jianjun had much interest in, or rather his teachers never had much interest in traditional mysticism. As such, the furthest he ever got was training in the concepts of breathing and walking. A key concept in Magecraft and Martial Arts. Though mainly affecting one’s physical fitness, it also plays a role in the strength of nature interference. The absorption of outer energy (breath of life) to connect your inner world to the outer world. The acts of inspiring, expiring and everything in between are part of a process that allows one to take in or release the gods. The Magi use incantation spells to cause a specific phenomenon to occur, but those whose breathing, movement, body and very existence can cause nature interference are beyond that. While certainly no master of it who can eradicate ghosts by merely clapping, he possesses an aptitude that has increased the performance and power of his martial arts, and allowed him to overwhelm others he trained alongside. [b]Mystic Codes:[/b] - [b]Four Symbols[/b] - The four symbols of ancient China are the four cardinal directions. Four mythological creatures appearing among the Chinese constellations along the ecliptic, and viewed as the guardians of the four cardinal directions. These four creatures are also referred to by a variety of other names, including "Four Guardians", "Four Gods", and "Four Auspicious Beasts". They are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise. The area between the four guardians is the realm of the Yellow Dragon that represents the yellow emperor. The area represents the realms of mortality, and the place where all things live. When wearing all four armbands, each locked firmly into place, they enforce the concept of "What lies between must but the World." While one is the world, each strike carries with it the conceptual power of the world striking a target. The conceptual weight of the world wears down on Phantasmal and magical beings, drastically reducing their strength and eroding their existence more and more. Also, as the wearer is the earth, they contain the conceptual durability one might expect of the world. Reducing damage, and increasing the wearer's endurance as a result. The wearer is also capable of resisting more attacks with anti-human elements, because they're overriding their own human nature to be 'The World.' The main weakness is that it cannot defend against concepts that are anti-world. If removed, Jianjun's human concept returns to him, often resulting in his body being weakened for a full week as he recovers from the backlash of having been something rather than human for an elongated period of time. This can be harshened, or lessened, depending on how long he's been wearing the armbands. [b]Non-Magecraft Abilities/Items:[/b] [b]Bajiquan[/b] - Baji quan was originally called bazi quan or "rake fist" because the fists, held loosely and slightly open, are used to strike downwards in a rake-like fashion. The name was considered to be rather crude in its native tongue, so it was changed to baji quan. The term baji comes from the Chinese classic, and signifies an “extension of all directions”. In this case, it means “including everything” or “the universe”. This is the preferred style of martial arts that Jianjun learned while training under the masters of the Qing, and his mentor. From this point on, Jianjun managed to become a master of masters, who stands among grandmasters of the era. Jianjun is a master of various weapons, including spears, swords, knives, bow and arrow, and even whip chains. All these, combined with Jianjun's training, make him a rare talent of talents who can slay a grown man in a single blow if required. [b]Tasks of the Guardian[/b] - A training regiment that includes medical practice, meditation, covert ops, and all tasks one might expect of an emperor's elite guard. Trained from a young age, Jianjun was chosen first among his peers to represent the desires of his organization. [/hider] [/hider]
