BLADE

Age: Appears around 30. His true age is unknown due to immortality. Gender: Male Aliases: Blade, Yingxing. Occupation: Stellaron Hunter.

Appearance: Tall with a lean, muscular build, fair skin, long dark blue hair that fades to crimson at the ends, and crimson-red eyes. His expression is usually distant or emotionless. Numerous bandages wrap around his arms, torso and legs, hiding countless scars from centuries of wounds that continually heal. Wears a black and dark blue oriental-style long coat with red lining, gray trousers, black gloves, black boots and carries an ancient cracked sword. His body is covered in old injuries that never truly disappear despite his regeneration.

Personality: Quiet, stoic, blunt and emotionally distant. Speaks only when necessary and dislikes meaningless conversation. Patient, observant and intimidating without trying to be. Although he appears cold, he is capable of loyalty and quietly cares for the few people he trusts. Suffers from Mara, causing painful episodes where memories, rage and violent impulses overwhelm him. During these episodes he becomes significantly more aggressive and difficult to reason with. Outside of Mara he remains calm and surprisingly restrained.

Background: Originally known as Yingxing, a gifted craftsman and member of the legendary High-Cloud Quintet on the Xianzhou. In an attempt to defy death and revive someone precious, forbidden methods were used, resulting in his cursed immortality and eventual Mara. He abandoned his former identity and became Blade. Now serves as a Stellaron Hunter under Elio, following the script in hopes that destiny will eventually grant him the death he seeks. His past continues to haunt him, especially his history with Dan Feng, now reincarnated as Dan Heng. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
