Name: Wei Feng

Gender: Male
Style: Canon Title with Largely Custom Influence
Residence: JiTHE PERSONALITY
What more can be said about the man except that he is what one may class a true Han loyalist. Raised for one purpose and that purpose alone, Zifeng lives to guide and protect his one and only lord; the Emperor himself. It is a given that he be somewhat protective of anything to do with the Emperor be it a topic of conversation or a death threat. Truly, he is a borderline fanatic when matters concern the Emperor.
Otherwise, however, Zifeng is a little bit more easygoing. Though not a born leader, Wei Feng bears a bewitching charisma, and for this reason, people seem to subconsciously magnify towards him. "Approachable" would be the best term to describe Zifeng's outward temperament demanding a balance of courtesy and a down-to-earth nature.
Though he would attempt to avoid confrontation at first, Zifeng would not hesitate to fight a battle if he felt that it contradicted his ideals. Or of course if it threatened his Emperor.THE APPEARANCE
Zifeng is of a somewhat lean, muscular build. Slightly taller than the average man, standing at about 5'11, he appears a dignified figure but doesn't intimidate as taller men often do. It is often stated that Zifeng's regularly dark brown straight, often tidy hair subtly changes in tone as the seasons progress. As if he were a part of nature itself.
In the summer, his locks shine in a light brown, sometimes even chestnut hue, reflecting the sunlight gleaming above. In autumn, his hair appears highlighted in several different shades of brown to compliment the bright, warm colours of the falling leaves around. And in winter, he combats the colours of the season with a greatly contrasting dark brown, even pitch black hair tone.
Being extremely close to the Emperor, it is an expectation that Zifeng be well groomed at all times. It can be agreed upon that Zifeng does not fail to meet these expectations. Often tying back his just-below-the-shoulder locks in public, Zifeng maintains a tidy, clean-cut, almost baby face if not for the single battlescar that is on clear display just below his left eye; a memoir of the Imperial Palace tragedy.THE HISTORY
The significance of Wei Feng's life split into three episodes
EPISODE 1
A severe case of amnesia adds to the mystery that is Wei Feng Zifeng's early life. Whether it is an extreme case of trauma or merely a gene for forgetfulness is not known. But one thing is certain.
Something happened.
As early as he can remember, Zifeng was in the care of a respectable elder of Imperial Court rank. He had always been seen as a talented, promising youth, well versed in history and culture. There was a future for this young man. Eventually, after gaining trust and confidence from the Imperial Court, many thanks to what he thought were ties to his adopted father, Zifeng became a member of the court, allowed to unload his thoughts on matters with barely a hint of consequence. It all seemed so.
Easy.
In due time, Zifeng had even developed personal favor with the Imperial family, a familiar face under any circumstance, and a brother figure for the young Liu Xie.
That was when things started to go downhill. Feuds in the court erupted, with sour relations between Grand General He Jin and the corrupt Ten Eunuchs. Around this time, Dong Zhuo came into power.
First command. Ransack the Imperial Court.
With a combination of quick wit, above-average combat skills and a stroke of luck, Zifeng survived and escaped the outrage. And then and there, upon his return, his eyes set themselves upon the dying, blood-stained body of the man that had been his father.
"You are of utmost importance now. As a roof, the land requires a support. As a pillar, the Imperial figurehead requires a base. You my son, are the base. The very foundation from which the building stands. If they break you, then the whole nation crumbles. Do not break. For you are --"
From then and there, Zifeng was the Imperial Warden. Forever a mystery, the dying man's last comment, cut short, would remain unknown. Bearing witness to the corruption of the land, Zifeng remained hidden for a time. The sole survivor of the massacre of the Imperial Court previous. Rejoicing upon Dong Zhuo's murder, Zifeng emerged from the shadows to re-unite with the now Emperor Liu Xie. For a time, they remained together, just the two of them in a bond of unique trust.
Until he got chased out.
Out of jealousy, out of greed, out of lust for power, remnants of Dong Zhuo loyalists; namely Li saw Zifeng as a threat and ordered his execution. Through efforts of close friends within the palace, the intervention of ruffian vigilantes and more luck, Zifeng escaped with his life in the company of an old palace friend in Zhu Jun and a ragtag company of outlaws desiring redemption for previous atrocities.
EPISODE 2
At the head of the vigilante group, Zifeng led many operations around the Zhongyuan area; liberating conscripted slaves, defying military force, rescuing damsels among other cliched heroics.
Eventually after sacking Si Shui gate and liberating its' slaves, Zifeng would lead lowlives in a coup against the Imperial Capital of Luo'yang, taking back the city by force. Later, Li and Guo would lose out to the rising Cao Cao, who would go on to occupy Luo'yang.
It would be at this point that Zifeng would meet the Hero of Chaos in person, and fate's waters would begin to stir.
EPISODE 3
Several years of serving Cao Cao in the field would bring about a gradual, but steady return of vague memories, not comprehend-able, but undeniably relevant.
Rumors from the devil's tongue spread of Cao Cao's true motivations, and Wei Feng's investigation is inevitable.
Perfect setting for the last few acts of my Wei Feng persona. Will flesh everything out in more detail during gameplay. Hopefully.
