Personality:
Guan Yu, simplified, is a man of duty. Above himself, he places his duties to his lord and family. This trait,and his sense of loyalty, has made Guan Yu a general that was coveted in the past moreso than his military ability. Guan's strongest sense of duty is towards his brothers and his children, sacrificing his well-being to assist them. Yunchang has also been commended on his loyalty and his sense of honor.
Master Guan naturally carries an air of authority. He leads others into battle without fear and his courage often spreads to his subordinates. Yunchang has shown himself to be a very proud man and at times shown arrogance. Despite these showings, he tries to humble himself constantly in an attempt to keep from falling into dire situations.
Guan Yu's caution in battle has been amplified from his experience in Jing. The trick letter from the Lu Xun has been imprinted in Yunchang's heart.
Appearance:
Yunchang is a sturdy built man. He stands at a height of 6'7" and weighs close to 210lbs. He is fairly musceled and his a beard that flows down to the lower area of his chest. His hair and beard have been highlighted gray strands, showing his age.
Apparel/Armour:

The only time that Guan Yu would be caught out of his armor would be in his sleeping quarters or a council meeting amongst the generals of Shu. His attire for the council meetings is a standard green robe and his headdress.
Guan's battle armor as is presented above. The left half of a dark green robe with a sturdy, medium weight chestplate beneath it. Around his forearms is a type of leather, thick enough to keep his forearms moderately protected.

History:
Guan Yu was forced to leave his home county after killing a local ruffian. He went to Zhou County and met Liu Bei who was looking for volunteers. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu swore an oath of brotherhood in a peach garden.
When Liu Bei served under Gongsun Zan, Guan Yu volunteered to fight against the mighty warrior Hua Xiong, who was serving Dong Zhuo. Yunchang killed him before his heated wine could cool off, and earned the reputation of fearsome warrior (1).
During Liu Bei’s occupation of Xu Zhou, Guan Yu was appointed Governor of Xia Ye. In the fifth year of Rebuilt Tranquility (AD 200), Cao Cao invaded Xu Zhou and separated the forces of the three brothers. In order to safeguard Liu Bei’s family, Guan Yunchang surrendered to Cao Cao and served him.
He was treated handsomely by Cao Cao and was given the title of Auxiliary General. In the battles against Yuan Shao, Yunchang killed both Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two esteemed generals of the north. Cao Cao’s soldiers were in awe of his might but Guan Yu warned them that his brother Zhang Fei was twice as strong, thus Cao Cao ordered his men to write down Zhang Fei’s name on their sleeves in case they would ever face him (2). After Cao Cao reported Guan Yu’s achievements to the court, he was titled Lord of Hanshou Precinct.
Yunchang paid back his debt and after hearing of Liu Bei’s whereabouts, Guan Yu returned the seals and gifts from Cao Cao and journeyed three hundred miles to find him.
At the battle of Chi Bi, Liu Bei captured Nan Jun and appointed Yunchang as Governor of Xiang Yang. While Liu Bei was attacking Yi Zhou, Guan Yu was in charge of defending Jing Zhou. When Liu Bei assumed position as Protector of Yi Zhou, Yunchang was promoted to General Who Eliminates Bandits and re-appointed as Lord of Hanshou Precinct.
In the twenty-fourth year of Rebuilt Tranquility (AD 219), when Liu Bei proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong, Guan Yu was honored as a Tiger General and appointed General of the Forward Army to attack Fan Cheng. He was able to drown the city and capture Yu Jin and Pang De, two of Cao Cao’s best generals.
In the same year, relations with Wu soured as Guan Yu rejected a marriage proposal from Sun Quan between Guan’s daughter and Quan’s son. When Guan Yu heard that Wu’s Lu Xun was appointed to fight him, Yunchang dismissed his worries as he did not fear the significantly younger officer.
The battles shifted in a negative favor of the Shu General and a handful of Yunchang's men turned on him. Despite this, the Guan family battled on. When hope seemed lost to the men of Shu, reinforcements came in the form of Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. The mighty generals of Shu made an overwhelming counter offensive and drove the forces of Wu back, retaining a foothold in Jing for the kingdom of Shu. Yunchang returned to Cheng Du at word of the peace treaty between the three kingdoms, awaiting his orders from his brother.
