1. #1Zhong Huiselective

   Keys: Zhong Hui

   Appearance: Zhong Hui is an average height, handsome young man with sharp and youthful facial features. He has brown eyes and tousled brown hair, partially tied back in a long, sleek ponytail while the rest of his strands are too short and wavy to be fully tied back-- akin to a rat tail. He typically wears shades of teal and black, with silver armor, and is fond of having a cape half over one shoulder.

   Personality: Zhong Hui is a young, studious man who has the respectable ability to instantly read the battlefield. He believes himself to be an impeccable and almighty genius who is incapable of committing a single error in his strategies. Zhong Hui accepts his failures as a temporary lapse in judgement and will do everything in his power to not place blame on himself. Often bragging that he is withholding his true potential, he jumps at the chance to outwit his adversaries and to punish those who don't agree with him. Due to his arrogance and spiteful demeanor, there aren't many fellow officers who trust him-- Wang Yuanji in particular can see his ambitious nature and often encourages her husband Sima Zhao (who’s usually more interested in a nap) to be stricter with Zhong Hui. His pride wilts when he expresses his intimacy for someone and he is unexpectedly bashful.

   Opposite of the duty-bound and stoic Deng Ai in every respect, he has seething resentments for the veteran. Zhong Hui tends to get irritated by flirting and empty pleasantries, but when he genuinely respects or likes someone, will praise them and put them on a pedestal.

   For all his bluster, Zhong Hui is actually a surprisingly modest person in the mundane aspects of his life-- his mother’s teaching of Confucian values have a strong influence on him in his daily life. He leads a simple and frugal lifestyle, wears clothes made of plain cloth, personally does household chores, and declines to accept large sums of money or precious gifts. He does not keep for himself the rewards, in the form of gold, silver, silk, etc., he receives from the imperial court for his contributions, and instead stores them in his family's shared treasury.

   Zhong Hui’s weapon of choice is a short sword with multiple blades that splay out like a fan. He’s very talented at and enjoys doing calligraphy, writing about his own personal legalist and logician philosophy, and reading poetry. He has a tendency to fidget with the shorter strands of his hair by his face (but he’ll vehemently deny it when anyone points it out).

2. #2Guo Huaiselective

   Keys: Guo Huai

   Appearance: A slender, rather sickly looking man with long black hair, streaked with gray. He has a constant pale pallor and his eyes are somewhat sunken in, with heavy bags beneath. He likes to dress in layers, since he usually feels pretty chilly. Due to his ongoing chronic illness, he’s rather thin, and the bones of his face are prominent.

   Personality: Guo Huai is truly a reliable warrior to have on the battlefront. While eager to carry out his duties, he conducts himself with modesty. Dedicating his every being to his country, he completely ignores his own health for his duty and he practically tiptoes death's door each time he forces himself. His zealous loyalty, while appreciated, worries ally and foe alike. Aside from his duty, Guo Huai is a rather humble man who wishes to keep living another day. He mainly fights because he feels there is no other option for him in wartime.

   During Cao Cao's reign, Xiahou Yuan cheered him up when he doubted his lord's purpose to take Hanzhong. Xiahou Yuan's optimism and courage lead to Guo Huai's admiration for him. He is grateful that Sima Yi continued to support him after Xiahou Yuan's death. Sima Yi's confidence let him continue to fight in his departed commander's memory as opposed to an early retirement. Guo Huai is extremely sympathetic to Sima Zhao and has no regrets about giving his life for him. He also deeply loves his wife and their five sons, and dotes on his young niece who happens to have the same name as him.

   Guo Huai’s weapon of choice is a small hand cannon, it taxes Guo Huai while he's using it, as if he entrusts his life into every strike. This is rather anachronistic for the time, but it should just be treated as normal and unremarkable. Guo Huai has an unknown chronic illness that often sends him into coughing and wheezing spasms and causes him to miss important social events.

3. #3Sima Yiselective

   Keys: Sima Yi

   Appearance: Sima Yi is a tall, slender man rarely seen without an ever-so-slightly smug expression. He has long dark hair worn partially tied back, brown eyes, and is almost always wearing a tall teal and purple guan hat with tassels. Sima Yi is often wearing the robes of a strategist, adorned in teal, dark blue, and shades of purple.

   Personality: Sima Yi is a man who is arrogant and conniving. He is known for his maniacal laughter and insulting friend and foe alike as "Fool!" or "Imbecile!". He didn’t truly believe in Cao Cao but was always eager to exploit every opportunity given to him. Prideful of his intellect and believing that he has an unsurpassed wit, he regards Zhuge Liang as a worthy opponent. Sima Yi does show more genuine loyalty towards Cao Pi, is fascinated with Cao Pi's abilities and generally finds him a better ruler than his father.. As a foil to his rival Zhuge Liang's dragon motif, Sima Yi is akin to a cunning wolf, as nothing seems to escape his view.

   Sima Yi solely believes in both true wit and talent being the qualities needed as opposed to a chosen birthright; this in turn makes Sima Yi feel that only a person such as himself can be trusted with the affairs of ruling the land, though he still retains his habit of looking down on others who fail to meet his standards and is not afraid to show his abrasiveness towards faulty logic.

   While usually known to be contemptuous and seemingly shallow, Sima Yi can also be easily humiliated when he can't predict the results of his actions (and also causes him to be a bit overly cautious/defensive when deciding his strategies). He tends to display this feature openly with his daughter-in-law Wang Yuanji, since she easily sees through him. He is very proud of his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, though he is frustrated at the latter's lack of motivation. Sima Yi is quite fearful of his wife Zhang Chunhua, as she can easily pressure him into making decisions which overall makes him rather henpecked, though he does know that she does have the best of intentions in mind, and does refer to her as “my dear”. Sima Yi shares his eldest son's love for meat buns, and SIma Shi has also picked up his father’s maniacal laughter. He trusts Zhang He's versatility for his plans and relies on him.

   Also, for some ungodly unknown reason he can rotate his head 180 degrees, all the way backwards. His kids find this horrifying. Sima Yi’s weapon of choice is a war fan that can be used to control small wind gusts.

4. #4Xiahou Baselective

   Keys: Xiahou Ba

   Appearance: Xiahou Ba is a short young man with handsome, youthful features that heavily resemble his father’s. He has shaggy brown hair that covers his forehead, and brown eyes. Xiahou Ba usually prefers to wear heavy armor and a helmet to cover his face, as he feels somewhat insecure with his face exposed. Despite his short stature, Xiahou Ba is actually ridiculously strong, able to use his sword to chop off the legs of horses and go swimming in his armor.

   Personality: Described as a man who inherits his father's integrity and will, Xiahou Ba strives hard to live up to the expectations of the reputed Xiahou family. Like his father, he talks with an easy going tone and doesn't like to brood over the past too much. An independent thinker who doesn't bend to the times, he lives with a positive outlook on life. Xiahou Ba isn't going to be blindly loyal to a cause he doesn't agree with, and he doesn't expect other people to understand him. He has no regrets and doesn't try to victimize himself for his justifications for freedom, taking life as it comes with no complaints. Xiahou Ba talks with a lazier pace than his motormouth father. He has a habit of repeating words-- such as going “Hey, hey, hey.” or “Wait, wait, wait.” Wei soldiers also report that Xiahou Ba suffers a slight inferiority complex due to his height.

   Xiahou Ba doesn’t like swimming. He’s a bit anxious and insecure about his appearance. He often gets stopped every time he enters a tavern due to his youthful appearance, much to his chagrin.

   Xiahou Ba is the second son of Xiahou Yuan. He has an older brother, Heng, and three younger brothers-- Cheng, Wei, and newborn Rong. Ba has a close and loving relationship with his father, and Xiahou Yuan often playfully harasses his son, offers upbeat praise, and helps with his training. As a child, Ba was close with his uncle Xiahou Dun, and they continue to have a respectful and friendly relationship. Xiahou Ba’s younger cousin, Xiahou Ji, was kidnapped by Zhang Fei as his wife six years ago. Ba was close with her, and still misses her dearly.

   Xiahou Ba’s weapon of choice is a large and heavy zhanmadao. He’s also fairly skilled at archery thanks to his father’s training.

5. #5Deng Aiselective

   Keys: Deng Ai

   Appearance: Deng Ai is a very tall man, standing at 6’7. He is extremely buff and broad-shouldered, with a calm, somewhat intimidating looking expression. He has long, dark hair, worn up during combat but down in his more casual attire, as well as neat, long stubble. Deng Ai is often seen in armor, accented with shades of teal. He typically wears a headband that often conceals his eyebrows, making his expressions a bit hard to read.

   Personality: Deng Ai is a chiseled general with many years of experience. He is a taciturn and persuasive character. Deng Ai is meant to be a brash looking yet sincere character-- his emotions aren’t easy to read, but his heart is usually in the right place. He has a hobby of looking at maps and, to preserve their accuracy, he is cautious of the war changing the geography. His humbleness yet sharp wit makes him a valuable and trusted ally for the Sima family. He’s got a strong talent in placement-- by observing an area, he can determine the best places to put military camps, farmland, and defense strongholds. He is famed for his ability to instantly analyze a battlefield for the best places to store grain and position troops. His favorite food is pig's feet, though he often doesn't pay attention to what he's eating otherwise.

   Deng Ai’s weapon of choice is a large, very heavy drill spear. His immense strength allows him to carry it easily, though. He's prone to stuttering, though he does his best to conceal it. Deng Ai has a very strong sense of duty, and will often mention it. He tends to come off a bit boorish and uncouth, though really doesn't mean harm.

6. #6Zhuge Danselective

   Keys: Zhuge Dan

   Appearance: Zhuge Dan stands at 5’6”. He is an uptight man with dark short hair that’s neatly slicked back, a straight posture, and a stern, near permanent frown. He is typically seen in attire that’s a combination of a strategist’s robes and a soldier’s armor, in shades of teal, with his signature stiff collar.

   Personality: Proud of his family's reputation for intelligence, Zhuge Dan thinks himself unworthy to be of the same ilk. He tries to act as an assertive and wise individual at all times. He is talented in concocting reasonable strategies and possesses natural leadership. Zhuge Dan's brilliance, however, is overshadowed by his impatience. His eagerness to act on his decisions clouds him from rethinking his steps and severely narrows his focus. He neglects to consider alternations or consequences of his plans. When the epiphany finally dawns on him, it's often too late for him to do anything about it. The knowledge may cause him to react with nervousness or anger, his humiliation with his fault breaking his otherwise stern composure. He has a severe, deep insecurity and lack of belief in himself and his abilities, and overcompensates with false arrogance as a result. Zhuge Dan is sympathetic towards peasants, promising to avoid destroying their fields and giving them extra food; he becomes distraught when he fails to protect them. Has has a deep respect for Sima Shi-- the man is everything Zhuge Dan wants to be. Zhuge Dan is a man who isn't bad by nature but could suffer his downfall due to his beliefs, who struggles to overcome his various internal complexes and conflicts, for better or worse. He tends to be referred to as the “dog” of the Zhuge family-- something he both takes pride in and is also hurt by. Being a dog signifies loyalty, but it is also demeaning. As a result, he has a kinship with pet dogs, and is often fond of spending time with them. He has a very uptight and stiff personality, and is easily flustered by teasing. His weapon of choice is a short rod/baton.

7. #7Wang Yuanjiselective

   Keys: Wang Yuanji

   Appearance: Wang Yuanji is a beautiful, slender woman with sharp brown eyes. She has long blonde hair often tied back in a low ponytail or bun. She’s commonly seen dressed in teal colored clothing, the color of Jin, with white and gold accents.

   Personality: Despite her conservative and quiet countenance, Wang Yuanji is a caring and gentle woman to the weak and innocent. A perceptive woman who thinks of the greater good for her country, she rarely has tolerance for procrastination or excessiveness. Whenever possible she seeks to reach quick, efficient, and decisive conclusions to conflicts. Although she may seem like a passive stoic, Yuanji is gregarious enough to congratulate her comrades with an open smile. If Yuanji confesses her genuine feelings to someone dear to her, she becomes rather bashful with her sincerity.

   With Sima Zhao, however, she spares him no sympathy and is rather curt with him, frequently chiding him for his lazy and easygoing nature. More often than not, she is usually patronizing him to take responsibility for his actions. As she watches him mature through his struggles, Yuanji genuinely accepts him and his faults. She usually shows her concern for him indirectly, her cold shoulder belying the respect she has for him. Both Sima Yi and Sima Shi are aware of his faults, asking her to not misunderstand the Sima family due to Sima Zhao's behavior. During most situations where Sima Zhao assumes leadership, she becomes concerned about his hardened personality yet promises to forever support him.

   Comically, while she tends to express her concern and devotion to Sima Shi's cause (which causes Sima Zhao to be miffed and likely jealous of this), there are times where Sima Shi's more quirky aspects emerge, which causes Yuanji express to her own chagrin that the two brothers are just as silly as one another. Yuanji gets along very well with her mother-in-law, Zhang Chunhua-- the two have similar intelligent, calm demeanors.

   Her weapon of choice is throwing knives, and she has incredible accuracy. She’s a bookworm who loves to read in solitude, and has learned Zhang Chunhua’s famous recipe for meat buns.

8. #8Zhang Chunhuaselective

   Keys: Zhang Chunhua

   Appearance: Zhang Chunhua is a beautiful, tall, middle-aged woman with a slender, yet well-endowed body. She has long light brown hair and light brown eyes, with demure and mature facial features. She takes care of her appearance, maintaining smooth skin and good figure. She dresses elegantly, using ornate gold pins to accessorize her hair and wears shades of purple and teal.

   Personality: Always seen with a soft smile on her face, Zhang Chunhua is a wise and capable mother. Yet she shows signs of her wickedly cryptic side when she is not pleased, causing even her own family to fear offending her. Her criticism is blunt to help bring out the other party's true potential. She’s a frightening, but wise mother with good intentions. She apparently makes the best meat buns ever, and her oldest son Sima Shi absolutely adores them. Zhang Chunhua adores her sons, but refuses to spoil them, preferring scoldings and discipline when necessary while also praising them for their accomplishments.

   Zhang Chunhua sees past Sima Yi's facade enough for him to be afraid of her. Despite being the seemingly dominant one in their relationship, her relationship with her husband is harmonious and she does care for him. The wife is content to step aside for her husband, but will occasionally force him to make decisions he would normally reject. She sternly addresses Sima Yi as "My Lord" or "Husband". Zhang Chunhua deems Wang Yuanji to be more responsible than either of her sons, often giving the younger lady tips on how to discipline Sima Zhao.

   Her weapon of choice is an urumi, though she also has an affinity with wired gloves that her husband used to use. As the primary wife of Sima Yi’s household, she manages his concubines and his other children as well-- though she’s very strict with Sima Yi about it, and refuses to allow him to neglect her.

9. #9Sima Shiselective

   Keys: Sima Shi

   Appearance: Sima Shi is a tall man, standing at 5’11”. He has handsome, serious looking features, a slender, athletic build, and a cool, collected expression. He has brown eyes and black hair, with a strong resemblance to his father Sima Yi. His hair is around chin-length, with side swept bangs. He is usually seen in the teal color his family favors, with silver and teal armor.

   Personality:Sima Shi is a man with magnificent intelligence who is skilled in both the military arts and various literary studies. Always pressing onwards to the future with a composed focus, he acts as the strategist and commander for his people. He has a bit of a fascination with the concept of destiny. Compared to his younger brother, his aristocratic mannerisms and ruthless desire for efficiency closely matches his father's expectations, and contrasts his brother's image. While he analyzes his surroundings with frigid sentiments, Sima Shi is actually a compassionate man who truly considers the peace of his land and people. He also has a few quirks that are somewhat childish, such as his obsessiveness for his meat buns or inflating his speeches with overly poetic imagery. He also shares his father's maniacal laugh.

   Sima Shi is an obedient son to his father and his inseparable aide for his plots. He is a patronizing older brother for Sima Zhao, sparing him no sympathy or mercy as he punishes his sibling's errors. Though it may seem like he is pressuring his younger brother to change to honor their family's reputation, Sima Shi merely wants him to mature and realize his true potential as soon as possible. He often gets along with Wang Yuanji as the two often seek to discipline Zhao. His relationship with his mother, Zhang Chunhua, is cordial and loving-- though Shi, much like his brother, is slightly frightened of his mother.

   Sima Shi’s weapon of choice is a lightning sword-- a thin blade that moves rapidly and is wielded similar to a rapier. His favorite food is his mom’s meat buns. When he is displeased with someone, he will refer to them as an “imbecile”, much like his father would.

10. #10Jia Chongselective

    Keys: Jia Chong

    Appearance: Jia Chong is a tall, pale skinned man standing at 6’1”. He is usually dressed in dark, layered clothing and armor, with hints of silver and Jin’s signature teal color. He has black hair slicked back and heavy, intense dark eyes. He typically has extra weapons concealed on his legs.

    Personality: Jia Chong is a calm but cryptic individual known for his sincere loyalty towards the Sima clan. However, he has no qualms employing ruthless measures to gain results in both warfare and politics. Others fear him for his willingness to execute traitors in cold blood, though he views it as a necessary evil to help facilitate the land's unification. Pragmatic by nature, Jia Chong believes that rulers should be cruel enough to make difficult choices for the greater good. While his methods match Sima Shi’s and they share friendly relations, Jia Chong is particularly fond of Sima Zhao. Though opposite in every respect, they share an odd friendship of respect which surpasses most people's expectations. Jia Chong may quip and disagree with his friend yet his devotion is unquestionable. Zhuge Dan also attracts his curiosity. He sarcastically praises the other strategist, well aware that his condescending remarks flies beyond Zhuge Dan's comprehension, and finds Zhuge Dan’s misfortune to be amusing.

    Jia Chong's favorite drink is freshly-squeezed fruit juice. He wields small throwing axes in battle. He emits a "cruel and mysterious" aura and is the "shadow" to Sima Zhao's "light". His appearance and demeanor has been compared to shadows, bats, and snake skin. He is the primary advisor and foil for Sima Zhao. He is well aware of the many discontent members against the Sima family and seeks to manipulate events in Sima Zhao's favor, and will disobey Sima Zhao’s orders and execute those he deems necessary to be eliminated. During Jia Chong's more personal moments, he is driven to drink heavily. Despite his demeanor, he does genuinely care for his young daughters, and is raising them as a single father.

11. #11Wen Yangselective

    Keys: Wen Yang

    Appearance: Wen Yang is a tall young man, with a well-defined, athletic physique. He has intense gray eyes, a noble and handsome face, and messy dark brown hair past his shoulders that he’ll tie up for battle, but leave loose in more casual situations. In battle, he’ll wear ornate blue, silver, and gold armor, with a helmet that has a sharp wing-like crest with a tuft of blue hair on top of the helmet. His bangs tend to peek out from under his armor.

    Personality: Calm and brave in the face of battle, Wen Yang has a one-track mind which prevents him from being distracted when charging head on. However, this also makes him somewhat unaware of his own surroundings. Because of the circumstances of his surrender and a whole lot of self-shame (Knowing he’s alive solely as a manipulation tactic), he often distances himself from his fellow comrades. He tends to come off as straightforward when he speaks, and occasionally a little too blunt (yet still polite).

    Wen Yang was conflicted on the beliefs of both his father and his own. Believing in righteousness over personal gain, Wen Yang cannot condone needless fighting, and often fights to make a quick victory. Tall, righteous, and almost stylish in a way, Wen Yang dreams of becoming a legend like his idol Zhao Yun-- but he’s not overconfident about it. He appreciates the lazy and carefree (yet surprisingly competent and ruthless) Sima Zhao sparing his life, but the whole thing is definitely a sore spot for him. He’s close with his younger brother, Wen Hu, who likes to call him the reincarnation of Zhao Yun-- something that both flatters and embarasses Wen Yang. His weapon of choice is a javelin.

12. #12Sima Zhaoselective

    Keys: Sima Zhao

    Appearance: Sima Zhao is a tall, handsome man with a lean, athletic build and a generally confident, sometimes bordering on nonchalant demeanor. He has defined facial features, dark brown eyes, and medium-length, thick brown hair often styled in a somewhat messy or windswept fashion, adding to his youthful appearance. His typical attire is usually in his family’s signature shades of teal and white.

    Personality: Sima Zhao is the light-hearted contrast to his stern older brother. In spite of his casual attitude and attire, he possesses an intellect which matches his father and older brother. Since his reliable family members are in power for most of his life, however, Sima Zhao feels he has no reason to actually worry about politics or government rulings. Easily regarding the conflicts in the land as "pointless" or "bothersome", Sima Zhao is a man who refuses to try or take responsibility, preferring to sneak off and take naps. He dispassionately follows orders to keep his family in power, and tends to be weirded out by his family's quirks (such as his father and brother's tendency to evily laugh) as the only straight-sane-man of such comical situations-- though if pushed too hard or faced with a real fucking idiot, he may resort to his father and brother’s signature line of “Imbecile!”

    If he were to no longer concern himself with meeting other people's expectations, his true qualities would shine. His desire is to break the futility he sees in blindly following past traditions in a land of unprecedented harmony. Sima Zhao's views may be too radical for his opposition to accept, but his wishes to fulfill them empowers his rulings and leadership. Sima Zhao tries to retain his gregarious optimism in his hope for a better future. Sima Zhao sees Liu Shan as a kindred spirit of sorts, as he sees that Liu Shan may act like a fool in name alone, but he thinks much deeper than his actions imply. Sima Zhao is a close friend of Xiahou Ba, and they often discuss personal matters with each other.

    His family members and his wife Wang Yuanji seek to discipline him during his youth, irate by his laziness and immaturity. Even so, they have faith in the qualities he keeps to himself. He may act skittish when facing his elder brother or Wang Yuanji's chastising, but Sima Zhao appreciates their concern for him. Yet despite his rulership capabilities and the support he has for it, there are still blatant implications that his father and brother are still more naturally capable than he is. Sima Zhai’s weapon of choice is a dao.

13. #13Xin Xianyingselective

    Keys: Xin Xianying

    Appearance: Xin Xianying is a tall young woman rarely seen without a smile. Xianying has wide, expressive brown eyes and thick eyebrows. She has flowing brown hair, partially braided back and secured with a butterfly clip-- a small strand of it always seems to stick out of the top of her head, no matter how much she tries to keep it down. In combat and in daily life, she typically wears lightweight armor in shades of white, teal, blue and gold, showcasing her legs-- over her armor, she wears a cropped jacket, and white gloves. In more informal occasions, she maintains those same colors in her hanfu.

    Personality: Always smiling, Xin Xianying is a cheerful and intelligent young woman who has excellent insight, such as saving her family many times with her advice. She believes that it is precisely because of the turmoil of the world that everyone needs to smile; for that end, she volunteers to take arms to end the chaos, and in her daily life, she devotes herself to making others laugh. Her cheerfulness earns the respect of allies, and in turn, Xianying encourages them even in the face of despair, as long as there is light there is always hope. For her smiley demeanor, Xin Xianying is incredibly wise, and possesses impeccable foresight. She prefers to lead a simple and frugal life, refusing expensive gifts and spending her free time reading and studying texts. Her weapon of choice is a large battle axe-- it’s a surprisingly bulky, heavy weapon for a young woman of her size, but Xin Xianying wields it with determination.

    Xin Xianying is close companions with the sorrowful poetess and musician Cai Wenji, and Cao Pi’s beautiful, if arrogant wife Zhen Ji-- she greatly enjoys listening to their music, finding Cai Wenji’s konghou and Zhen Ji’s flute soothing paired together.
