1. #1Da Qiaoselective

   Keys: Daqiao, Da Qiao

   Appearance: Da Qiao is a petite and slender young woman. She has beautiful, youthful facial features and gentle brown eyes. She has long, straight black hair and blunt-cut bangs. Da Qiao has a very feminine and charming style, dressing modestly in shades of red and white, and adorning her clothing with flowers. In more practical moments, she’ll tie her hair back in two braids.

   Personality: Da Qiao is a mature and sensible young woman who desires to become stronger. Generally shy and timid, she doesn't like conflict and would usually not want to perpetuate it. However, since she wants to protect her husband and loved ones from harm, Daqiao braves the trials of battle to the best of her ability. Fond of her energetic and brash husband (who adores her cooking), she calls him a formal yet adoring "Lord Sun Ce", which sometimes embarrasses him. She tends to be more anxious and prudent, in a sharp contrast to the more carefree, childish, and cocky Xiao Qiao (who is a year younger). Da Qiao is the restraint for her sister, since Xiao Qiao tends to get herself into trouble with her blunt behavior.

   Da Qiao has a tendency to play an older sibling role to anyone around her, and prefers gentle encouragement to a harsh scolding. However, though she seems to be submissive, she won't hesitate to snap at people (including her sister) for acting selfish or slipping with manners. She gets along well with her sibling in-laws-- She regularly trains with the fiery Sun Shangxiang, and is on good terms with Sun Quan. She’s also on friendly terms with her sister’s husband, the calm and rational Zhou Yu.

   Da Qiao’s weapon of choice is a pair of iron fans-- they’re blunt, sturdy, and prettily decorated with flower motifs. She fights using an acrobatic style that takes advantage of wind gusts and high jumps.

2. #2Gan Ningselective

   Keys: Gan Ning

   Appearance: Gan Ning is a tall, well-built man with a lean body and muscular form. His reddish brown hair is left wild and spiked, and he’s got sharp gray eyes and never fails to have a grin in a fight. He’s often decked out in jewelry, from his old pirate days-- though he never buys anything new unless it’s as gifts for his men. He really, really doesn’t like shirts and is often just shirtless with a belt of bells strapped around his body, to let his enemies know he’s coming. Yes, even in battle. He’s that cocky. He has an array of intricate tattoos on his chest, arms, and shoulders.

   Personality: Dubbing himself "Gan Ning of the Bells”, Gan Ning is a man of action who doesn't like proper etiquette. Wild and fearless, he is merely satisfied with a good brawl in battle. He's confident in his abilities and, though he seems arrogant, he has a good head on his shoulders and knows when to rely on teamwork. He especially likes his private army of sailors and they fondly call him "Big Bro". However, he's fickle about who he'll take orders from. Putting up a tough front, he occasionally has difficulty expressing his opinions in a nicer tone. He tends to be quite bashful when he’s being genuine. Gan Ning has a hard time sleeping when he can’t hear water, and often sleeps on his boat or naps at riversides.

   His relationship with Ling Tong is a strained rivalry, since Gan Ning killed Ling Tong’s father. Gan Ning is personally more agitated by Ling Tong's haughty attitude and persistent insults. He respects Lu Meng as his good word helped him enter Wu. They share a mentor-student relationship, as Lu Meng often chides him for his reckless and nonuniform behavior. Gan Ning acts as though he doesn't care and often shrugs off the strategist's concerns. He nicknames Lu Meng, "Old man", despite the fact that Gan Ning is actually older-- he just does it to annoy Lu Meng.

   Gan Ning is rough and violent; moreover he takes pleasure in killing. However, he is also jovial, gregarious and capable of using strategy. He respects virtuous persons and has little regard for monetary wealth. He treats his men well and they are willing to fight for him with their lives. His morals are questionable, but his skill in battle never is. Gan Ning’s weapon of choice varies-- he’s got a scimitar, a chain and sickle, a pair of knives he can wield, and a flail. His fighting style is extremely fast, chaotic, and often bloody.

3. #3Zhu Ranselective

   Keys: Zhu Ran

   Appearance: A slender, average height, handsome young man with youthful features, bright gray eyes, and messy, dark hair. Zhu Ran is often wearing bright shades of red, yellow, and orange, with white accents. Funnily enough, his clothing color scheme is a mirror of Lu Xun’s. Zhu Ran commonly wears a cuff around his left ear, styled after a flame. He’s got a wayward strand of hair that he can never seem to keep out of his eyes.

   Personality: A general who is a cut above the rest with his superior talent and intellect Zhu Ran is praised as a hopeful candidate for leading Wu's future. He also shares an affinity for fire attacks like Lu Xun, often praising its effectiveness in battle. He’s a bit of a pyromaniac and gets way too excited when something lights on fire, honestly, but keeps it in check for the sake of his lord. Childhood friends with the young ruler Sun Quan, Zhu Ran is full of the fire, energy, and passion of his kingdom.

   Despite his rather chaotic personality, he’s still a highly intelligent and capable general, with no fear of his enemies and a fierce rivalry with his friend Lu Xun that propels them both forward. Zhu Ran is very fond of making metaphors about fire in his speech. He deeply respects his fellow generals and strategists, even if his energy can exasperate the much calmer strategists of Wu. In his free time, he often experiments with flammable materials and reads at libraries.

   Zhu Ran has… complicated feelings about the actual effects of his fire attacks in war. He justifies it in service of his lord and in bringing peace… but the smell of charred flesh never gets any easier to tolerate. Even someone who thrives in the chaos of war isn’t immune to its toll. He tends to get a bit defensive when his methods are questioned, to cope.

   Zhu Ran’s weapon of choice is a large bow augmented with various flammable substances, but he can also wield a staff. Zhu Ran’s accuracy with his bow isn’t as good as, say, Sun Shangxiang’s, but he doesn’t need to be super accurate, as long as he gets to light things on fire.

4. #4Sun Quanselective

   Keys: Sun Quan

   Appearance: A tall, handsome, and clean-shaven man who stands proudly, Sun Quan has unique vivid blue eyes and dark brown hair, often worn up in a bun or ponytail, with some side strands hanging loose around the sides of his head. In some lighting, his hair can almost seem purple, though if anyone points that out he’ll think it’s weird. He adorns himself in red, gold, and tiger furs, in an homage to his father Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong. He’s got rather dramatic eyebrows.

   Personality: Sun Quan is a proud and venerable ruler who dearly treasures his lineage. Contrary to his hot-headed brother, he is a patient, collected, and diligent individual. He is the strictest of the three leaders within his family, as he cannot forgive betrayals or excessive disobedience as easily as his family members. To protect his family's future, he strives to only take calculated risks and bide his time. Though known for his no-nonsense attitude, he softens with his generals and treats them with sincere respect and empathy. He also turns into quite the party man whilst drinking at banquets. It’s to the point where he’s told his subordinates to not trust a single thing he says when he’s drunk.

   Sun Quan was a man who couldn't help but watch his father and brother. After their deaths, he initially doubted himself as the leader of Wu (even suggesting Zhou Yu lead the army at one point), knowing that he could not be like his father and brother. His wife Bu Lianshi, among others, constantly reminds him that his awareness of his own weakness is his true strength.

   He attributes his ability and skill to the spirits of his fallen family guiding his hand. Wanting to live a legacy befitting his father and brother, he commonly mentions them in combat to grant him strength. He is a good older brother for his spirited sister Sun Shangxiang, even if they don't always share the same views. However, should they face the other on the battlefield, for the sake of his goals, Sun Quan would slay her. He’s close friends with his old fiery classmate Zhu Ran, and deeply trusts his bodyguard, the silent and stoic Zhou Tai. He enjoys hunting tigers for fun. His weapon of choice is a dao sword.

5. #5Huang Gaiselective

   Keys: Huang Gai

   Appearance: Huang Gai is a super tall, buff man with an imposing stature and fierce expression. Despite his intimidating appearance, he has a friendly smile. He has long gray hair braided down his back, and a short, scruffy beard. He often wears red and gold armor, showing off his muscular arms and legs.

   Personality: Huang Gai is a muscular veteran who never loses faith in his countrymen. With stamina that belies his age, he is a bold and confident general for Wu. A devoted vassal, he is considered to be an irreplaceable member of the Wu army, fully dedicated to his job and fellow generals. He is known to make quips regarding younger warriors, but he also encourages them to always act for the greater cause. He often gives tips to the stoic and silent Zhou Tai on what it means to be a loyal servant. Fond of explosions, he often mentions "booms" or "blasts" in his conversations, while also being a bit of a playful person who knows when to loosen up the mood. Despite his playful demeanor, he’s still a very smart and rather strict person, intolerant of disobedience. Every time he goes into battle, the men under him will compete fiercely to earn the top credit. Huang Gai is also known to be just and decisive when he handles cases in court and he never has any lapses.

   While he respects each of his masters, he fondly calls Sun Jian "Great lord", even after his death. He acts as the more light-hearted and active foil to the stoic Cheng Pu and calmer (if anxious) Han Dang. Huang Gai serves as a mentor to the young lord Sun Quan. Huang Gai’s weapon of choice is a club, and a shield attached to his arm. He did dabble in using a small boat as a weapon at one point, though this was obviously impractical.

6. #6Lu Xunselective

   Keys: Lu Xun

   Appearance: Lu Xun is an average height, boyishly handsome young man with scruffy brown hair and brown eyes. He’s got a slender, but athletic build. He wears sleek leather armor in shades of red, brown, and gold, and is often seen with a hat with golden swallow-tail feathers on the side.

   Personality: Lu Xun is a quick-witted and perceptive man who believes in seeing the big picture. His outstanding talents and youthful energy help inspire Sun Quan and his allies during dire times. Formal and humble, he tries to see the best in every person, be they ally or foe. He addresses disasters with a prudent and sincere manner, always striving for an optimistic solution to the situation. As a commander, he is more assertive and commits to orders that are do-able or practical. He idolizes his mentor figures, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng, and subconsciously strives to match or surpass their caliber. He’s close friends/rivals with the passionate Zhu Ran, and the two young strategists often cooperate on fire attacks together.

   Lu Xun is very honest and sincere, which he sees as an advantage-- it allows him to get away with deception in battle. As the young head of the Lu family, he takes his responsibilities and status seriously. Lu Xun enjoys challenging himself intellectually with his fellow strategists, and is particularly fond of fire and fire-themed strategies. Lu Xun occasionally feels a little frustrated because of his youth, as people often don’t take him as seriously as he’d like. His weapon of choice is a pair of twin swords.

7. #7Sun Shangxiangselective

   Keys: Sun Shang Xiang, Sun Shangxiang

   Appearance: Sun Shangxiang is a tomboyish young woman with brown hair and bright green eyes. She typically keeps her hair cut into a short bob, since she dislikes having it in her face during battle (Though she does want to try growing it out sometime). She’s often dressed in armor in shades of red, white, and gold, befitting her title as ‘princess’. She’s fond of wearing headbands to keep her hair out of her face, though can occasionally be seen with a headdress or a tiara.

   Personality: Sun Shangxiang is an upbeat and independent woman who is considered to be a tomboy. She is loving and loyal to her family, slightly respecting her brother Sun Ce over Sun Quan. Always eager to lend a helping hand, she frequently wants to show her worth in battle, which usually worries her father and brothers. However, they're proud that she shares her family's dignity and enthusiasm. She's addressed as "Princess" by Wu's vassals, only being called by name by her family and Liu Bei.

   Her optimistic and headstrong nature contrasts the relatively gentle Liu Bei. She addresses him as "Lord Liu Bei"after meeting him recently. She finds him incredibly heroic and she often looks forward to seeing him in action. When he doubts his strength to protect her, she often responds that his kindness is his true saving grace. Shangxiang is very close friends with her sister in law Bu Lianshi, who is married to her older brother Sun Quan-- Lianshi is Shangxiang’s bodyguard and companion. She is also friendly with Sun Ce’s widow, Da Qiao, encouraging the much more gentle and shy woman to open up and referring to her as a sister.

   Shangxiang occasionally wonders if she should try being more lady-like, but is happy that the people in her life love her fiery demeanor. Her guards and ladies in waiting are often armed, fiercely loyal to the princess. Like her brothers, she’s known for being bold and fierce in character, while being talented and bright. She enjoys horse-riding and practicing martial arts. Her weapons of choice are a bow, and her wind-and-fire wheels, as well as smaller chakrams made for throwing.

8. #8Sun Ceselective

   Keys: Sun Ce

   Appearance: Sun Ce is a roguishly handsome young man with brown eyes and hair. He usually has a neatly trimmed, sharp goatee, and keeps his hair up in a high ponytail. He’s typically seen in the bright red and gold colors of the Sun family, and like his father, likes to wear tiger crests and patterns.

   Personality: Sun Ce is an energetic, outgoing, brash, and informal leader. He is charismatic and well liked by his troops and his family. He often does whatever he likes on whim with a macho and confident attitude. Proud of his heritage and gung-ho for battle, he has a tendency to get lost in the thrill and forget his limits. Therefore, he relies on the wisdom and responsibility of his friend and sworn brother, Zhou Yu, to keep him focused and on track. He is grateful for any helping hand and strives to repay his debts in kind. His unpredictability is not merely based on a whim, but out of consideration for the Kingdom of Wu.

   He is also a loving husband who greatly appreciates his wife, Da Qiao, and her efforts. He’s especially protective for her safety and well being, due to her shyer and more soft-spoken demeanor. He looks out for Da Qiao’s younger sister Xiao Qiao, who is married to Zhou Yu. Sun Ce is a happy, handsome man, who loves to make conversation and joke. Courageous and broad-minded, he can also securely listen to the thoughts and opinions of others. His armies are well-disciplined, and when going through a territory, he will not harm or interfere with the commoners or local farming. Hence, both peasants and officers love him.

   Like his father Sun Jian, he’s got a stubborn streak. Sun Ce is a loving older sibling to his younger brother Sun Quan, and younger sister Sun Shangxiang, encouraging them both to be strong, fierce, and brave. He loves to go hunting with his friends and family. Sun Ce’s weapon of choice is a pair of dual tonfas.

9. #9Sun Jianselective

   Keys: Sun Jian

   Appearance: Sun Jian is a tall, broad shouldered man standing at 6’0 with a strong build and physique. He has silvery-white hair, usually messily slicked back, and neatly trimmed stubble. Befitting his title as the Tiger of Jiangdong, he can often be seen wearing tiger furs that he’s hunted himself alongside his red and gold armor. In combat, he wears a golden helmet, though takes it off for more informal occasions.

   Personality: Sun Jian is a calm man, always considerate and courteous to his men, who acts most like a gentleman. He is generally kind to those around him and forgives past mistakes with subtle ease. He doubles as a fierce and courageous warrior. Since he is praised as a tiger of his homeland, he proudly refers to himself by his nickname as the “Tiger of Jiangdong” on several occasions - his children also share his pride during their respective conquests. In spite of his impeccable service to the Han and his bravery in battle, other regional lords usually do not think too highly of Sun Jian and ridicule him as a "country bumpkin"; this is predominantly done by Yuan Shu. He is fiercely loyal to the Han Dynasty, even going so far as to call himself the "Blade of the Imperial Han".

   A caring father, he is proud of his children and tries his best to look out for them. He acts as a strong mentor figure for them and points out their respective strengths and weaknesses, and he is also willing to sacrifice himself for their well-being. His oldest son Sun Ce, much like his father, is his fiery and passionate pride and joy. He appreciates the calmer nature of his second son, Sun Quan. He finds Sun Shangxiang’s chaotic and tomboyish nature to be a source of joy, and enjoys training her in the various martial arts.

   His weapon of choice is a nine-ringed broadsword.

10. #10Bu Lianshiselective

    Keys: Lian Shi, Lianshi, Bu Lianshi

    Appearance: Bu Lianshi is a beautiful, elegant, voluptuous woman with pale skin and long black hair, usually tied in a ponytail. She has gray eyes and is usually seen with a gentle smile, though her expression can be fierce when in combat. She generally wears long, beautiful red dresses and flowers in her hair, befitting her high status, though she’s generally modest.

    Personality: Bu Lianshi is a kind and sincere woman who supports Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan, advocating for their focus and maturity. She is aware of her status, seeing herself below her husband and sister-in-law, and will sacrifice herself to protect them if necessary. When her husband Sun Quan gets distracted or too hot-headed, she redirects his focus to the importance of their kingdom and the morale of his followers, as well as gently discouraging his wild drinking. As the personal bodyguard and sister-in-law of Sun Shangxiang, they share a very close bond, with Bu Lianshi reining in the fiery princess. Lianshi loves her two daughters dearly, raising them to be modest, intelligent, and strong.

    Bu Lianshi has a very nurturing, gentle personality. She’s the favorite wife of Sun Quan, and is perfectly tolerant of his other concubines, occasionally even recommending women to him. Despite not being the queen of Wu, the imperial family and staff refer to her as the queen, which embarasses her somewhat. She's an excellent cook, and has a sharp eye for when someone is injured or distressed. Bu Lianshi tends to laugh softly when she’s pleased, and speaks to her enemies in a gently scolding tone.

    Bu Lianshi’s weapon of choice is a crossbow from a distance, and Mandarin Duck Hooks at close range. She regularly trains her shooting with Sun Shangxiang. Despite Bu Lianshi’s soft and mature nature, she’s a fierce fighter and has zero qualms about fighting on the battlefield alongside her husband if necessary.

11. #11Zhou Yuselective

    Keys: Zhou Yu

    Appearance: Zhou Yu is a tall, handsome young man, standing at 5’10”. He’s considered exceptionally handsome, with his long flowing black hair and statuesque yet slender physical appearance.

    Personality: Calm and rational, Zhou Yu is a wise expert of strategy who is capable of seeing through most of his enemies' ploys. He treats his allies with modest professionalism and genuine respect. His devotion to his homeland is unquestionable, and his talents are praised with renown. His perceptive nature is unsettling even to Zhuge Liang as Zhou Yu detected an ulterior motive behind the Wu-Shu alliance. Zhou Yu is incredibly talented at playing the flute, and is perceptive enough to notice when notes are missed in group performances. His weapon of choice is a staff, though he is also able to wield a sword.

    Since they were childhood friends, Zhou Yu acted as the voice of reason for the hot-headed Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu misses his best friend deeply since his death. They shared a strong bond and both comrades relied on the other in times of need.. His mature and serious persona contrasts with his wife Xiao Qiao's naive and cheerful one. While he is also a loving husband, his words of caution are not always appreciated by his wife. Even so, he thinks of her dearly and will not hesitate to come to her rescue, and refers to her as ‘my darling’. In his relationships with the other strategists of Wu, like Lu Meng and Lu Su, Zhou Yu often acts as their mentor and he trusts the newer strategists' decisions even if his life is put at stake, seeing them the same way Sun Ce sees Sun Quan.

    Zhou Yu acts as a caring older brother figure for Sun Quan. Zhou Yu has a friendly, if rather intense rivalry with Zhuge Liang, as they’re both highly intelligent and perceptive.

12. #12Ling Tongselective

    Keys: Ling Tong

    Appearance: Ling Tong is a handsome young man, standing at 6’2”. He has brown eyes, and long, messy brown hair worn in a high ponytail. He’s rarely seen without his relaxed smile and dresses casually, even in battle. He’s fond of long scarves.

    Personality: Ling Tong is an intelligent yet sarcastic vassal of Wu. He doesn't break a sweat under pressure, which makes him seem rather relaxed compared to his comrades. He speaks in a very relaxed, casual manner towards his comrades and friends, and is a very affable, respectful, and generous person, and prefers to keep his more serious demeanor under wraps. However, he's easily irritated by his enemies and often wants to end battles in a quick and efficient manner. He's willing to follow any orders even if it means collaborating with Gan Ning.

    His feelings towards Gan Ning are… complicated. Ling Tong still feels a lot of animosity towards Gan Ning for killing his father, but at the same time, he acknowledges they work well together and are fierce rivals with respect for each other’s abilities. It’s a heavy grudge, rife with bickering and arguing, but one he’ll put aside if necessary. Lu Meng is usually the one breaking up the bickering and squabbling.

    Ling Tong’s weapon of choice is a three-sectioned staff (a sanjiegun).

13. #13Xiao Qiaoselective

    Keys: Xiao Qiao, Xiaoqiao

    Appearance: Xiao Qiao is a small and slender young woman, standing at 5’3”. She’s got beautiful, youthful facial features and bright gray eyes. Her hair is a light brown, and she prefers to wear it up in a high side ponytail. She can usually be seen in brightly colored clothes with long sleeves and short pants and short skirts, so her legs are free to move and run.

    Personality: Xiao Qiao is a carefree, cheerful young woman who is more gutsy than her older sister, Da Qiao. She takes a straightforward approach in battle, but her lack of restraint often leads to trouble. She's vocal about her thoughts and opinions, often talking aloud to herself. Her blunt, childish behavior earns her sister's chiding. She’s especially close with her older sister, and sees Sun Ce, her sister’s husband, as well as Sun Quan, Sun Ce’s younger brother, as brothers. Xiao Qiao adores animals, especially pandas.

    She adores her husband's attention and tries her hardest to impress him. She loves Zhou Yu dearly, and cares little for the attention of any other men. If anyone else flirts with her, she’ll dismiss them as a creep and say they’re not her type. She calls her husband "Lord Zhou Yu", but she additionally calls him all sorts of pet-names, such as “darling” and “dear”. Her favorite flowers are peach blossoms, and she’s fond of the colors pink and orange.

    Despite her cheerful, carefree, and sometimes childish nature, she’s not an idiot-- she has an understanding of the severity of combat and war, and chooses to smile through it and cheer up the people around her in such grim circumstances. She tries hard to understand, study, and explore the world around her, despite being a bit sheltered by her husband and older sister. She cares little for the norms established for women at the time-- she wants to support her husband, and if that means getting into fights, she will. She’s friendly with Sun Shangxiang for that reason.

    Xiao Qiao’s weapon of choice is a pair of iron fans-- they’re blunt, sturdy, and prettily decorated, just how she likes them. She fights using an acrobatic style that takes advantage of wind gusts. She dislikes being referred to as a “little girl” and will gladly try to beat up anyone who does, to prove herself.

14. #14Lu Mengselective

    Keys: Lu Meng

    Appearance: Lu Meng stands at 5’11”, with a strong build and defined muscles. He has rugged, handsome features, neat stubble, and brown wavy hair reaching his chin. He can usually be seen clad in his red and gold armor with mixed pieces of strategists’ robes. He favors scarves when it’s cold outside, and occasionally ties his hair up for training. Despite the nickname of "old man" he appears to be any other man in his mid thirties.

    Personality: Honest and perceptive, Lu Meng is a man who believes in steadfastness. While he speaks with a gruff tone, he is a calm and flexible leader with universal capabilities. Praised for his determination and cunning, he tries to impart his wisdom to several of Wu's younger retainers, as he finds them to be the hope for their kingdom should he fall. He particularly sees talent in Lu Xun and respects the younger man's intellect. He is sensitive about his age and isn't too flattered with Gan Ning calling him “old man”, despite Gan Ning actually being the older one, and Lu Meng still being rather young. Lu Meng tends to look out for Ling Tong, encouraging him to resolve his personal issues with Gan Ning. Despite this, Lu Meng isn’t actually fond of Gan Ning, finding his murderous and violent ways deplorable, but he maintains politeness due to Gan Ning’s valor in battle. Lu Meng is a little embarrassed about his past as a rowdy general with no knowledge of warfare, and in his younger days, he was not competent in reading and writing. Whenever he issued orders, he had to verbally instruct his subordinates or ask someone to help him write. Thus, he strongly encourages those around him to study as he did. Lu Meng's weapon of choice is a ji, or a pike-- he's a fierce warrior, though doesn't like to brag.

15. #15Lu Suselective

    Keys: Lu Su

    Appearance: Lu Su is a tall (6’3”) man who is extremely strong and well built, though he typically keeps it under his long strategists’ robes. He has long dark hair kept in a classic Chinese topknot with a guan headdress, though occasionally lets it loose. He has a slight mustache and short, neatly trimmed goatee. He is usually clad in various shades of red, white, and gold.

    Personality: A kind-hearted man, Lu Su is one who is often positive as he is wise. Most of the time, he seems to act as a bit of a charmer, but deep down shows a brilliant mind with intellect that matches up to much of Wu's talent. Lu Su also often acts much more of a "good sport" towards others, and rarely phased by anything that comes his way is often a note towards his aged-yet-wise mind. Lu Su looks to the younger generation with praise and hope in order to succeed in his prowess in the future. He spent much of his youth traveling and giving away money due to his affluent background, and is a good-hearted, kind man who is open about his positive feelings, while remaining calm when faced with negative ones. He prefers to face his problems head-on, without false pretenses. Though he is strong and intelligent, he is also a normal man enduring the era's troubled times. He comes off as reliable and chivalrous. Lu Su is a strict person who rarely indulges in material pleasures and leads a frugal life. He maintains good military discipline and executes orders without fail. He can think far and possesses an exemplary sense of judgment-- it's generally agreed upon that only Zhou Yu is ahead of him in talent.

    Compared to the rest of his comrades in Wu, Lu Su is one who takes the alliance between them and Shu more seriously, deeming it to be the most beneficial to Wu's future. His weapon of choice is a large rake-- it seems impractical, but he wields it similarly to a large mace.

16. #16Zhou Taiselective

    Keys: Zhou Tai

    Appearance: Zhou Tai is a tall (6’7”) imposing man covered in muscles and deep scars. He has dark hair and eyes, and his hair is commonly worn back in a ponytail/ or tucked into his helmet. He is often clad in heavy red and black armor, with hints of gold.

    Personality: Zhou Tai is the classic calm and seemingly mute warrior who is merciless to his foes. He only talks when necessary and roughly mumbles one liners. His sentences are frequently punctuated by long silences and “...” He speaks in very short, clipped sentences. His hard-to-approach personality and taciturn demeanor belie a sincerely kind and loyal man of Wu. Stoic and silent, he’s an intimidating presence.

    He cares greatly for Sun Quan's safety and won't hesitate to sacrifice himself for his lord's well being. Caring little for personal gain and possessing an indomitable presence, his lord admires his bravery in return. Both share a fondness for wine, which further deepens their comradely bonds. Zhou Tai has a very close bond with Sun Quan, frequently drinking with him and enduring his drunken antics. Sun Quan highly respects and adores Zhou Tai, often gifting him priceless items and serving him wine personally in a show of gratitude. When Lu Xun becomes Wu's new strategist, he expresses concern that the man may be too young and inexperienced for the new occupation. Once the youth displays his capabilities, any lingering doubts he may have had for Lu Xun are silenced.

    Zhou Tai wields a miaodao sword in battle. He is extremely swift and efficient in his fighting style.

17. #17Taishi Ciselective

    Keys: Taishi Ci

    Appearance: Taishi Ci is a tall, physically powerful man with broad shoulders and a strong stature. He has brown eyes and short, slightly spiky dark hair, an angular face with sharp and commanding features, and a surprisingly gentle smile. In battle, he wears red armor with gold accents, and a distinctive helmet with a crest and a long purple plume on top.

    Personality: Taishi Ci is an upright warrior with strong character. Striving to live a warrior's life, he searches for ways to improve himself. He feels obligated to return any kindness given to him and will work hard to repay their feelings in kind-- If he feels he owes someone a debt, he will go out of his way to repay them. Taishi Ci is loyal, righteous, and trustworthy-- but if directly insulted, he’ll sometimes mutter to himself about how he’s not supposed to hit them, and occasionally snarks a bit under his breath.

    He came to admire Sun Ce's character and, though they first meet as enemies, he treats the lord as his friend. He’s easy to befriend, and warms up quickly to people who share his same sense of strength, righteousness, and martial spirit. He’s old companions with Liu Bei, after he sent reinforcements to Kong Rong.

    Taishi Ci’s weapon of choice is a pair of large blunt twin rods. He’s also an archer of immeasurable skill, and often enjoys archery practice with the princess Sun Shangxiang. For some odd reason, people keep asking him if he knows how to play the drums-- maybe it’s because his rods look like large drumsticks? He’s started picking it up as a hobby anyways.

18. #18Han Dangselective

    Keys: Han Dang

    Appearance: Han Dang is an average height man with a broad-shouldered build and strong arms. His brown hair is thinning, with a receding hairline, and he has brown eyes with thick eyebrows, a mustache, and a goatee. He’s regularly seen with a smile on his face and fairly gentle features, but looks surprisingly fierce in battle. Han Dang is usually wearing shades of red, accented with gold.

    Personality: Despite his experience as a veteran of Wu, Han Dang is very concerned about people knowing who he is due to his intense fear of being forgotten. He shows great determination in battle and eagerly undertakes difficult missions in order to cultivate a reputation as a skilled and dutiful warrior. However, he always seems to worry that he isn't trying hard enough to be recognized, and this insecurity makes him jealous (though still proud) of officers who stand out more than he does on the battlefield. He has a close relationship with Huang Gai, who never forgets about him and respects him as a fellow veteran. He acts as the more level-headed veteran and often attempts to diffuse situations between the more rugged/scolding Cheng Pu with the rest of the younger generation of officers. Outside of battle, Han Dang is a friendly and kind man, and gets weepy when drunk. He occasionally lampshades his lack of hair.

    Hilariously, Han Dang tends to get forgotten… a lot. Staff forget his orders at restaurants, his commanders often forget to give him orders (He just does what’s best anyways) and enemy officers generally tend to forget he exists. When paired with a fellow officer in battle, the other officer tends to get all the recognition, further fueling Han Dang’s fear of being forgotten. Despite this, when he asks, people do genuinely acknowledge his hard work and compliment his skill, and he greatly appreciates when they do.

    Han Dang’s weapon of choice is a short pike.

19. #19Xu Shengselective

    Keys: Xu Sheng

    Appearance: Xu Sheng is a tall, muscular, and roguishly handsome young man with short black hair, swept back. He has brown eyes, a short goatee, and heavily scarred arms. He’s typically seen in shades of Wu’s signature red, alongside black and gold.

    Personality: Steadfast and hard-headed, Xu Sheng is a stalwart man capable of being a heavy-duty front-liner for a majority of difficult battles while also being eager to fight alongside his comrades. Beneath this however, is a soul saddened by the loss of his beloved homeland of Xu Province, which was one major reason why he loyally serves the Sun family. However, he’s got a bit of an ego, which can occasionally cause trouble. Xu Sheng at times though, possesses a rather charmingly-perverse side to him in regards to women, and also happens to be very fond of sweets. Yet to his chagrin, Xu Sheng gets annoyed when people look at him in an awkward-or-mocking light whenever he is seen buying some for himself. Xu Sheng tends to worry that others, like his fellow officers, will find fault with him, even for mundane incidents.

    Xu Sheng is known for his confidence and fervent loyalty towards Sun Quan. He sometimes butts heads with Zhou Tai, Sun Quan’s bodyguard-- Zhou Tai’s utterly silent and stoic personality, as well as his background as a former bandit, makes Xu Sheng nervous. However, Xu Sheng is still respectful to all his fellow officers. Xu Sheng gets along well with Ding Fing-- who, despite his imposing demeanor, is a soft man who enjoys poetry and is accepting of Xu Sheng’s loud and large emotions.

    Xu Sheng’s weapon of choice is a meteor hammer.

20. #20Ding Fengselective

    Keys: Ding Feng

    Appearance: Ding Feng is a very large man-- as in, as large as Lu Bu was. Ding Feng is characterized by his muscular and robust physique. His broad shoulders and thick arms give him a formidable presence on the battlefield. He often has a stern and determined facial expression, befitting his role as a seasoned military officer. His hairstyle typically consists of his dark hair tied back in a topknot or ponytail, and he has distinctive sharp peaks in his hairline. He typically wears armor in Wu's shades of red and gold.

    Personality: Ding Feng looks and speaks with the voice of a terrifying giant, often scaring people who he meets with his tall, frightening appearance. In actuality, he appreciates peaceful landscapes, speaking of them fondly, and is a devoted poet. He speaks kindly of allies and doesn't actively seek to make enemies. Loving his scenic lands and the trust he has gained in Wu's army, Ding Feng participates in war to protect them. He is often considered as someone reliable by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, but Gan Ning is hilariously frightened by Ding Feng's visage and finds his devotion to poetry to be too eccentric at times (as others tend to find Ding Feng's poetry lacking somewhat, albeit with no nerve to tell him directly). Ding Feng has a rather gentle soul, but he’s also highly confident in his battle ability-- justifiably so. He’s close friends with Xu Sheng, accepting of his fellow officer’s loud and large emotions, as well as his love for his home. His weapon of choice is a large chakram, almost the size of his body.

21. #21Cheng Puselective

    Keys: Cheng Pu

    Appearance: Cheng Pu is a tall older man with long, waist-length gray hair and cool gray eyes, typically seen with a pale blue scarf along his shoulders, as well as a long goatee and mustache. His asymmetrical armor in shades of red and black, as well as his elegant scarf are meant to invoke a scholarly warrior image. His full-body design aims to leave no openings, in ode to his masterful persuasiveness.

    Personality: Stern and to-the-point, Cheng Pu is the stiffest amongst the retainers of Sun Jian, yet is also part of the most trustworthy due to his commitment. Because of his cynical and more pessimistic approach to matters, he does not completely get along with even the closest of fellow retainers, and often finds himself exasperated or irritated. For all his grumpiness, he is also known to be a generous man with his troops who enjoys mingling with the scholar-gentry.

    In times of crisis and doubt, however, Cheng Pu will always be the first one to remain loyal and convince his peers to stand firm as well. He often acts as the cooler head to the more active Han Dang and Huang Gai and will make sure they actually carry out their duties if they get too caught up in the action or emotion. He initially sees Zhou Yu as someone too green to be placed in the role of commander, but after witnessing the young man's own commitments and successes, does the veteran eventually warm up and become one of the strategist's closest aides.

    Cheng Pu’s weapon of choice is a serpent spear.
