Post by Liu Bei on Nov 1, 2010 14:40:15 GMT
Name:
Zhurong
Age:
24
Residence:
Xinye
Appearance:
Indeed a jewel to behond, with a darker complexion than the mainlanders the exotic features add to the allure of this huntress whose physical strength does not match that of the power she can wield over beings. With the addition of light hair Zhurong has the ability to stand out, while emphasising the empowerment of sovereignty by wearing a certain lack of clothing. Though alluring it maybe, the attire worn by Zhurong is off protective armour plates covering the vital areas. With her hair held in a bun, a plume of white feathers act as the hair pins to hold it together while being the headress of her ensemble. To cover the exposed back is a short clock made from a thick material, acting as a guard, with yellow tassles lining the bottom for simple decoration.
Personallity:
A headstrong woman shall always play the role of the outspoken temptress and can perform such a role to perfection, for over the years she has noticed a trend with many and uses certain attributes to her advantage. Indeed this gains much criticism, but never when the tables are turned upon them, furthermore the usual comments of being a 'barbarian' does not hinder her..instead, fires the passion within the heart. As one from a society enabling women to take on important roles, her status is important and on the battlefield will act accordingly; mostly to prove that there are women who can attain beauty while using strength to push themselves forward.
Weapon:
Viper
Correctly named after a venomous serpent, specifically designed for the unique martial technique of Zhurong and to her desires. It is essentially a strong horse whip, that has had sharp blade like spikes down the length of it to give it a devastating abilities.
Weapon Strengths:
The blades are sharp, with the whip being able to constrict and tear, while having the ability to swiftly strike the opponent with wrist movements.
Weapon Weaknesses:
It is a whip and needs more strength to coil around and lock into place, also as a ranged attack could become difficult to use when in close combat. The whip's material is highly endurable, but does not mean it cannot break under heavy pressure.
Armour:
Such is quite little when it comes to the Nanman temptress, knowing that with so little plated armour her abilities would enhance to protect her rather than relying on a material. Plated armour covers the vital areas of the body, while thick materials are used to guard lesser vital areas of Zhurong. Upon the forearm and calves are the thick material similar to a leather-like material. While the plates are placed upon the chest, back and groin area.
History:
Indeed a strange tale for a being of the far South to vacate their lands in order to search a different future, than the security of their own lands. However, the once infamous Queen of the Nanman has done such as this..to temporarily turn her back upon defending Nanzhong by serving under the banner of Shu, who had promised her amunity and of course, one day being able to rule her own lands..under her own banner; as vassalship to Shu. Though this came at a price, that Zhurong herself must be placed under servitude to Liu Bei until the expansion of Shu can secure most of Ba Shu and parts of Chu.
Though some may believe this would be unlike the one who proclaims to be descendant of the Fire deity, she understands the future of significance. Also, within, the character of Liu Bei is a fascinating one and one that she does not admit to care for; his nature is gentile and is admired by her..the adoration for people gained her adoration and blade, thus the agreement was easily set..for the hopes of both Shu and the Nanman, otherwise the house of Liu would surely know that the fires of anger would devour them if not...

Name:
Mi Fang
Age:
30
Residence:
Yong'an
Appearance:
With a harsh complexion, effected by the days of war, he has a strong jaw-line and one of the Tiger enjoys the aging process to show more than obvious battle scars; but lines of experience. Though not a man of intelligence, as his older brother, Fang is not unattractive but on the other hand, not known for his handsome features. Always dressed ready for war, it is rare that this man can be seen in full Court attire; yet, on persuasion from his brother, Zhu, can look quite smart within the typical hanfu attire.
Personallity:
A man whose mind is not of his brother's, but in battle it is as cunning as the fox while having the strength of the mountain. Phyiscal prowess is his advantage and shall always prepare himself to act when needed; even though many times he consults Zhu on how to act that could not only benefit his men, but that of Liu Bei.
Weapon:
Mi Spear
Similar to Zhu these designed spear was placed into his hands through his family, rewards simply because of his physical prowess over the intellect of his brother. It is a typical spear of war, that as a sharp pointed blade to the tip with red tassels to absorb any blood thay may run from the blade; the shaft is of a high endurance wood that can become surprisingly flexible for a wider range of techniques.
Weapon Strengths:
It's sharp blade cane be devastating and of course the spike upon the bottom of the spear quite dangerous when thrusted hard enough. Furthermore, the wood is flexible and can be bent into a wide crescent shape for mere effect or the chance at a rather strong sequence.
Weapon Weaknesses:
It is a ranged weapon, that has its own flaws when placed into close-combat. Though the wood has high endurance, does not mean that it is undestructable; like any other spear, this weapon can become shattered or broken under heavy attack.
Armour:
Enjoying the metallic colours, Fang did not have his armour tinted simply to show that he was not above the men he lead; allowing a more unified feel to enter the battlefield with. Across the chest is a plate of armour made designed specifically by Fang, it is made up of small squares that have chain links so that it can be protective while giving him maximum mobility. Strong shoulder guards are attached also, with chain links so that his movements are not hindered at any point. Upon the forearms, thighs and calves are metal plates that were designed for his body and carved markings of the Mi family on each plate. Finally, a helmet with blue plumage on the top adorns his head, with a somewhat ambiguous sea-demon head on the front; it has also got a thick material neck guard that is attached to the bottom of the helmet.
History:
Born to the rich Mi family, who self-made wealth through trade, grew from their stronghold in Qu County; enabling Fang and his elder brother, Zhu, to be given a high education that many would have not been able to afford. However, there was a clear difference between the brothers, as one continued to study documents and enjoy times of study..the other tended to remain outside placing his physical prowess and martial training above any studies that he attended. There seemed no hope that Fang would carry the family line, but nonetheless a military son was as good as anything and another route for their family's fame, fortune and of course, respect.
Military strategies were capable but something he tended to steer away from as he knew that such a weakness was best left to the aid of his brother; who he remains loyal to. Being placed into the local militia became tedious as many of the superiors did not enjoy promoting those below them through fear of being replaced. So, when a certain man who came to stay in Xuzhou, who had the face of the Dragon and eyes set upon greater things than simple mediocracy, Fang saw the chance to gain rank and progress militarily. This man was Liu Bei, a gentile soul whose heart was absorbed by the people and gained trust from both brothers, including a marriage to their youngest sister; Mi Shi. Through marriage they bonded and now placed highly in his mind, Fang has the chance to place himself in the upper echelleons of the military...
