"When a man is in the world, O, He ought to do his best.
And when he's done his best, O. He ought to have his rest.
And when I have my rest, O, I'll quaff my wine with zest.
And when I'm drunk as drunk can be, O, I'll sing the madman's litany."
-Zhou Yu
Name: Zhou Yu
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Style: Canon
Residence: Jian Ye
Personality:
Zhou Yu is not the introspective and beautiful strategist that history has portrayed him. Instead, this Zhou Yu is one of cunning and destruction, favoring a bit of genocide atop his almost always impeccable ploys. More than willing to go over the top, he exudes this through his speech, which is often heavy and derogatory, using loquacious speech in a subtle eloquence that causes it's venom to be lost on simpler minds.
Appearance:
Wearing his hair pulled back in a pony tail loosely, he is often found to look very well put together. His build is not muscular, but very athletic. He bears no scars; he's never come into contact with an enemy blade. His eyes are a very crisp hazel.
Apparel/Armour:
During court or domestic meetings, Zhou Yu arrives in his imperial warddrobe, which is included in the above picture. The breastplate is missing from this, which normally resides under the clothing. He favors light armor, as he isn't a heavy fighter. However, prowess in martial skill allows him to be a fantastic duelist, which is also a reason why he keeps his armor light; he favors quickness.
Weapon(s):
Level 2 Normal Sword
History:
Born in Lujiang, he was recognized, almost immediately, as a prodigy amongst his peers. Capable of understanding complex math at 10, and creating his first successful battle plan at 14, he was immediately enrolled in a military school to hone his arts.
Throughout his career in this military school, he was introduced to many people. He met any famous person travelling in Lujiang, including the man that would change his life forever; Guangzhou Ba. Ba was a sadist, and he was a visiting professor in the college. For whatever reason, Zhou Yu became fascinated by the man and his proclivities, and a quick friendship grew between the men. It was this man that imparted so much of his personality upon the impressionable Zhou Yu, creating the near diabolical individual that Zhou Yu is today.
After school, he traveled to Jian An. He briefly entertained the idea of asking to join under Wu, but decided it was not befitting of a man of his caliber to ask to join a leader. He would wait in Jian Ye, which he felt would become an important city in the Wu Empire.
There, he would wait. He made himself known to the populace and the government, and this is where he would be serving as their Grand Counselor.
Current Information: Currently Unaffiliated.
