Username: JiMing
Name: Yu Changgong
Faction: Neutral
Hometown: Blackthorn City
Age: 20
Appearance: Yu Changgong wears a dark blue long sleeveless robe with a black trim on top of a loose black undershirt. A large brown belt adorned with gold decorations on the front and dark red cloth holding it together wraps around his midsection, keeping the robe from falling off easily. Yu has long brown boots adorned with black armor around his knees and the top of his foot. Similar armor covers his arms from just below the elbow to the top of his wrist. He wears a large, conical colored dark red with black markings around the top and brim of the hat. He has a dao sword and scabbard that connects to the side of his belt, with the scabbard being dark blue with gold adornments, with the sword’s crossguard also being a golden color. He has black, shoulder-length hair, and red eyes. He stands at 6’0 feet/1.83 meters.
Personality: Yu is a man of few words and has a tendency to be curt when speaking. His reserved nature often makes him come off as cold, but beneath that chilly exterior lies a burning passion that flares up when he sees injustices happening around him. His master’s ideologies have made him a peaceful man who refuses to hold onto hatred and seek vengeance, but he does not hesitate to wield his blade to defend those in need.
Background: Yu Changgong initially lived an uneventful, simple life with his parents in Blackthorn, with no immediate relatives nearby. However, that changed when he was 6 years old when he trekked with his parents through the mountains just beyond the Ice Path and an abnormally strong snowstorm struck them. His parents gave their lives in an attempt to save him from an avalanche, but Yu lost his way during the confusion, and nearly succumbed to the cold. It was at that moment he was rescued by a swordsman who happened upon his nearly frozen form.
When Yu next awoke, he was nursed back to health at the dojo of his rescuer, Master Zhang. With no family to return to, Yu Changgong decided to become a disciple of Zhang and devoted the next several years of his life to training with the sword.
Along the way, he was taught the practice of qigong, the careful manipulation of the flow of one’s qi (aura) to strengthen the body or release in a controlled manner to affect the qi of other beings. He was never an exceptional student, and especially struggled with the projection of qi, but he always aspired to reach and surpass the other students. In particular, he struck up a close friendship with Flint, who only stayed at the dojo for a period of three years but became the prodigy of Master Zhang’s disciples.
As part of his training, Yu was sent across the mountain ranges to travel to different shrines set up at various points to meditate and hone his mind. However, when he returned to the dojo, the building was ransacked and everyone inside had been slaughtered. When he finally reached the body of Master Zhang, he recognized the wounds inflicted on his body as coming from a sword, in particular the specific style of dao swordplay taught by Master Zhang himself.
Yu Changgong gave a proper burial to everyone at the dojo, and when he interned his master at last, his thoughts were of the ideals that had been instilled in him since he first began training at the dojo, to use his blade only as a tool to help those who were disenfranchised and destitute, and work to create a world where warriors like himself were no longer needed. Now these words held more weight to him than ever, and with his convictions set, Yu Changgong trekked through the mountain plains to the outside world at last, acting as a wandering blade, ally to the powerless, and nightmare to the wicked.
Equipment: Yu carries with him a dao sword and scabbard at all times. The blade is made of an extremely resilient alloy, with the technique to produce it having been lost to time. This allows it to withstand the force inflicted when using the reinforcement technique. He carries a small satchel tied to his side to carry anything else gathers along his journey. Yu has a Pokegear model that is 10 years out of date, due to it being the cheapest option he could find.
