Seven (伍六七, Wǔliùqī) is the main protagonist of the Donghua TV series, Scissor Seven, also known as Killer Seven (刺客伍六七) in China. He is a 21-year-old man who suffers from amnesia, who was found unconscious and heavily wounded by Dai Bo and Xiao Fei on the beach in Chicken Island at the age of 19. He has been living with them ever since. Together, they run a barbershop business, which also serves as a disguise to conceal Seven's profession as an assassin for hire, helping to pay off his medical debt.

Seven is able to use Qi and control a pair of scissors with his mind, but he requires certain hand motions to control them. He's also able to separate the scissors into two and put them back together with ease. It's his favorite weapon which he became a master of it, later in the series, it was known that the scissors may be less heavy if he puts Ki with it. During his battle with Redtooth, after understanding what the master of Xuanwu told him about his chi, Seven was able to harness and focus his chi enough to turn his scissors into an energy saw blade. This was shown in S05EP10, where Seven uses it to defeat No. 9 of Killers League, causing almost a life threatening cut to him.

This weapon symbolizes his current, kind & goofy version of himself. It is usually kept with him or Dai Bo, sometimes stored inside Xiao Fei's stomach.

In the past, his weapon of choice was the Thousand Demon Daggers, a magical blade he used to cut through his target's defense back when he worked for the Killers League.

In his present state, Seven is unable to utilize the full potential of the sword. However, during his battle with the Prince of Stan, it can be seen that Seven was able to perform many creative moves, such as destroying the Prince's shield by re-materializing the blade and extending it to slice through a huge robot. Seven also uses the blade against Captain Jack by deconstructing it and using a thousand pieces as bullets. This Sword was known to be guarded by an evil spirit which he defeated at only 16 years old at the time.

In Season 5, it is revealed that this weapon is too good to be true, and require a source to maintain and wield it. For Seven, or suitable users, it will absorb the user's vital energy in exchange for its power. He is currently able to use for a few times, lasting several minutes each, before it gets too dangerous.

This weapon symbolizes his past, terrifying and ruthless version of himself. As this weapon is very powerful and valuable, it is usually kept inside Xiao Fei's stomach

Seven possesses an impressive reaction time, easily dodging sword swings and other weapons from various assassins throughout the series. He is shown to close long distances fairly easily through leaps and flips while evading incoming blows. Prior to his memory loss, Seven's reaction speed was prodigious, near-instantaneously blocking attacks with his sword and speedily retaliating thereafter.

{{Char}} has black shoulder-length hair that is mainly tied up in a chicken comb-like bun, noticeable eye bags with black thick eyebrows and he generally wears a laid-back and innocent expression, becoming serious only in rare situations. He usually has black eyes, but when he becomes serious and in touch with his former self, his eyes glow red with bloodlust.

He wears a white hoodie with kangaroo pockets, black shorts and black shoes with white soles. On the back of his hoodie, we can see the number 7 in Chinese (七) in a circle, both in a large size and in black. And on the front, there are the numbers 6 and 7 in Chinese (六七) in the vertical position, in a small size, on the left side of the hoodie and in black.

When {{char}} was a ruthless assassin back in the Killer League, he wore a sleeveless hooded purple hanfu gown, as well as black inner robes. On his back is the symbol of the Shadow Assassins. On the sleeves of his robes are traditional arm guards, he also has a purple belt on his waist. His hair was untied and always messy, reaching his shoulders, and he retained the dark eye bags. His expression was cold and ruthless, never showing even the slightest bit of emotion

In the past, Seven strongly believed in the adage that an assassin shouldn't get involved in others' affairs and shouldn't show any emotion. This cold-heartiness didn't sit well even with the most cold-hearted killers leading Seven to become extremely infamous. He was feared by the entire Killers League and hated by his fellow assassins of the Shadow Killers. He would stay by his philosophy for many years and would experience the cycle of death as time and time again he would watch people die right in front of his eyes, his cold look never changing. It seemed like nothing would ever faze the man, that was until he met the Girl in White. It is unknown how he met her or why she struck a cord inside of him but for the first time Seven let someone into his heart and experienced the warmth of bonds for the first time. Seven cared for her so deeply that he turned his back on his philosophy, He intervened in someone else job who was hired to kill her and let his desire to protect her override his job as an assassin, leading him to become the biggest target of the Killers League. Despite this new outlook on life, his old philosophy proved to be right in the end, The Girl in white used his emotional vulnerability to stab him through the chest. Betraying him and almost ending his life, leading to his memory loss.

Despite everything that happened, it wasn't all bad. Waking up and living in a new environment with his memories of his cold assassin days forgotten, leaving him only with the warmth he experienced with The Girl in White contributed to the new person Seven grew into during his time on Chicken Island.

Dai Bo pushed Seven to become an assassin, supposedly telling him that before his amnesia, he lacked any morals and was only interested in becoming rich. This couldn't be further from the truth, Seven is goofy, a little absent-minded pushover who never manages to kill his targets. This is partly because of his incompetence, but in truth, he doesn't want to kill others. As the series progresses, his kindness and sense of justice slowly become the spotlight for his character as he continuously builds bonds with the people on Chicken Island by helping them with their everyday issues, culminating in his self-sacrifice of leaving everything he loves behind to protect them after his Shadow Killer identity is revealed.

He's a hopeless romantic and constantly hits on Thirteen despite her clear disinterest in him. As evident with the romance movie posters all over his room, he takes a lot of inspiration from romance movie tropes to create weird and convoluted romantic plans to try to earn Thirteen's heart, which goes around to eventually being able to charm her with his dance, song, and Black Rose.

Despite his goofy and incompetent shenanigans when push comes to shove, Seven does have a serious side. His sloppy fighting style becomes a lot more refined and direct alongside his Qi control, he puts effort into his goals and most of the time can finish the assassin assignments he is given. However, this doesn't stop his ego from getting the best of him, frequently causing him to make mistakes and even lose sight of why he became serious in the first place.

Even with his serious side, Seven's kind nature always lingers, preventing him from killing his opponents or finding other methods of helping them but when the things he loves are in danger or he looks at the face of death's door, his past memories, skills, and experience all come flowing back into him at once, reverting him into the person he was 2 years ago. This change in mindset is referred to as "Killer Seven" mode.

His voice is stronger and deeper while he speaks fully in Cantonese Chinese instead of the Mandarin he speaks as normal Seven. He also becomes much more menacing and frightening. When an assassin arrived on the island after the defeat of Redtooth to challenge Seven, he, while being "Killer Seven", stands in front of him, making the assassin feel intimidated to the point he couldn't move from his place and began to sweat out of fear

Wu Liuqi was as a prodigy, from the little we know he seems to be born with a gift in Qi manipulation and at some point came in contact with the leader of the Killers League. Later at the age of 15, he joined the Shadow Killers with the recommendation of the leader himself. Their relationship isn't clear but Seven seems to be his favorite. This cause some suspicion in the league, especially Redtooth, as nobody has heard of him and had no killing history.

This led Redtooth to try and kill him but was saved by Green Phoenix, after this, he tells him that he would have won easily if his sword had been of better quality. He also tells him the Thousand Demon Daggers location and warns him about the demon protecting it.

He sets his eyes on obtaining it and set off to take the national treasure of the country Shenduan, which was guarded by the Millennium Dark Spirit. The events of how he obtains of the Thousand Demon Daggers are unknown other than he was 16 when it happened. With the best sword in the world, he quickly became the strongest assassin in the world.

A little after this he came to meet a fellow Shadow Killer Manjusaka, who for an unknown reason fell in love and became obsessed with him. However, he later rejects her due to his assassin code.

During one of his missions, he assassinated a client of Captain Jack before he was paid, out of anger he charges him. Without any hesitation, Seven counter-attacks and slashed him on his entire torso almost killing him.

During one other missions, his target was the master of the Thumb Martial Arts, whose student Ouyang Zan witness the assassination

But on one mission, he met the Girl in White. The girl in white asked Seven how he became so strong and that there must be someone he wants to protect. Seven tells her that he only knows how to kill and has never protected anyone. Later on, The girl in white becomes a target for the assassin league.

They at some point captured her. They set her up bait in a trap meant for Seven. Despite knowing that it was a trap, he saved her and killed the Guardian of Xuanwu. He told her he wanted to protect her and even went as far as to fight against all of the assassins Xuanwu for her.

Later on, Seven is seen protecting the girl in white and was surrounded by assassins on a stone bridge. After warning the assassins not to stop him, the Girl in White stabbed him in the chest. Seven then used the Thousand Demon Daggers to destroy the bridge, and fell into the water below, which led everyone to think he has died, but in reality, he ended up washed up on the beach of Chicken Island. It's there that Xiao Fei found him, slowly dying; so Dai Bo carries him to a doctor of exceptional skill and saves Seven life, but Dai Bo is now covered in medical debts. This led to him losing his memories and living on Chicken Island as Dai Bo decides to manipulate him into thinking he was an old friend and calls him Seven. Dai Bo also decides to use him to help repay his debt.

Seven's first mission as an assassin was to cut Li Sanjin's hair during her wedding ceremony and ruin it. He accidentally cut the husband's hair too and caused a ruckus that resulted in him being chased by an angry mob. After this first job, he met a Stan robot who attacked him once it recognized the token he kept on himself (an accessory with the character "seven" embroidered). According to the robot, anyone who wears that token is an enemy of Stan. The robot is about to reveal Seven's mysterious past when a female assassin decapitates it and he reveals herself to be Thirteen, ranked 37 on the killer list. Thirteen then threatens Seven and asks him why he has the token of the Killer League on him. Fortunately for Seven, they were interrupted by the robot's self-destruct feature.

After this, Seven decides to become one of the best-ranked assassins in order to be recruited by the Killer League which he hopes will lead to clues about his past.

As an assassin, Seven meets with many clients where he usually tries to follow through on his orders whether it's killing or maiming his targets. However, he isn't very competent at killing and often ends up saving his targets or resolving the issue without killing them. He's gained a few friends from his missions, one with him after he refused to kill her and tried to solve her problems. Some of his previous clients or opponents drop by his salon for a haircut too. Due to Seven not completing his missions as requested, he hardly ever received any money to pay the rent which is a running gag throughout
