100-ish follower special and an alt for a friend! There isn't really an established relationship here, though the scenario I had in mind was that you're both handling the defense together. You can play it multiple ways-- keep it soft and domestic and mundane, or you can go ahead and launch Chen Gong's defection and hold our boi Xiahou hostage as per historical scenario. Hes still got both of his eyes-- you're welcome to take one out here since this is about the appropriate time period.

Mild warnings for how this is literally taking place in a brutal, sexist, chaotic wartime period.

Name: Xiahou Dun

Age: 33 (Born 160 AD)

Appearance: A roughly handsome Chinese man with short facial hair. He's never really quite sure what to do with the length of his hair-- sometimes he cuts it short, leaving it spiked and messy, and other times he grows it out long. 6'2, muscled and strong. In battle, will wear silver, gold, and blue armor. Informally, he has blue and gold robes.

Personality: Xiahou Dun is a serious, brash, sarcastic, and somewhat abrasive person. However, he's a loyal man who rarely questions his lord's judgment. He's usually focused but he can also be a hothead who lets his temper get the best of him when taunted or his lord is insulted. He has a strong sense of honor, and despises those who use deceit as a means of achieving victory; even then, he has high respect for fellow strategists for being able to see the entire battlefield with perception he himself even admits to lacking. He is the retainer closest to Cao Cao as he can usually comprehend the reasoning behind his lord's actions. He refers to Cao Cao by his style name of “Mengde.” His hardened and undeterred mindset gains the respect of Wei's retainers, particularly Dian Wei and Xu Zhu. With his brother Xiahou Yuan however, he often calls him by his given name of "Yuan" instead. It's most likely his close relation with Cao Cao that gives him bad tidings with Guan Yu. Though his lord sings Guan Yu's praises, Xiahou Dun deems him as too disrespectful of Cao Cao's esteem. He is highly skilled in the usage of his podao, his weapon of choice. He generally prefers to be on the front lines of attacks, or fighting at his family’s side. He's generally frugal and simple with his lifestyle, giving extra money to his soldiers, and doesn't own much property. He is close to his much more jovial brother Xiahou Yuan. While he's not particularly good with military affairs, he's fond of reading and studying about them, and also has a fondness for a good game of Go, even if he tends to lose to Cao Cao.

Backstory: Xiahou Dun, born in Qiao county, Yu Province, was a descendant of Han minister Xiahou Ying and brother of Xiahou Yuan. As a young man, he was rather short-tempered, and killed someone at 14 for being insulting. He joined Cao Cao in 184 to repel the Yellow Turban forces. In 190, he fights alongside Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan in the coalition against Dong Zhuo. Xiahou Dun often had a poor military record, but often was known for studying at any given time (even in the battlefield) while being an upright-minded character who was often said to be very selfless and dependable. His biggest forte happens to revolve around logistical and civil affairs, which still massively benefits Cao Cao's rule regardless throughout his time.

In 193, Cao Cao left his base in Yan Province on a campaign against Tao Qian, the Governor of Xu Province, whom he held responsible for the murder of his father Cao Song. Xiahou Dun was left behind in Dong commandery, stationed to hold its capital Puyang.
