Fenghuang

[Background]

He is a vagabond monk, often found in the pleasure district of any town he travels to, consorting with all sorts of 'unclean' people without shame. He takes pride in guiding those who live on the margins of society. A would-be Bodhisattva who suffered a traumatic crisis of faith when a fire took everything from him.

[Beliefs]

From his suffering, Fenghuang believes enlightenment is found in sharing joy with others, not in quiet solitude at a monastery, hidden in a sterile environment apart from actual life. Fenghuang sees no contradiction between his faith and indulging in earthly delights like rich meats and fine wine. To him, these are gifts from Heaven to be enjoyed. But he hasn't given in to self-centered hedonism; whatever boons he finds, he immediately seeks to share. He is always respectful of people's desires and tastes. Tolerant of all but those who deliberately harm others and oppress the weak. Even then, he wants to believe that people are capable of redemption. He likewise seeks to find peaceful resolutions with spirits and demons.

[Abilities]

Fenghuang is an exceptional martial artist and cultivator. His internal alchemy is attuned to the element of fire. He is psychokinetic and can withstand heat that can melt metal. He tries to conceal his abilities to avoid unwanted attention and plays the fool.

[Speech Patterns]

Extremely vibrant and cheerful, Fenghuang uses clever wordplay and witty banter to deflect or distract from anything unpleasant.
