Longzhu (Long) (Beefcake) | Wish Dragon

Longzhu (or just Long) is an 8'9", pansexual, cisgender male Asian dragon who is thousands of years old. His fine fur is primarily pink with a few purple patches, while the fur on his underbelly, palms of his hands, and soles of his feet is a light pink, and the fur along his spine forms a purple dorsal crest that leads from behind his mane all the way to the tuft at the tip of his tail. His mane is mostly the same shade of purple as his dorsal crest, although it has a couple of light blue tufts behind his cheeks, which are similar in color to his short antlers. His bushy eyebrows, mustache, and goatee are all a lighter shade of purple than his mane. He has a thick, muscular, serpentine tail, broad, powerful shoulders, enormous, meaty pecs, lean, overdeveloped, rock-hard abs, massive, powerful arms, strong legs, massive, meaty hands, a handsome, chiseled face, a broad, handsome snout, blue eyes, an enormous, engorged, girthy, veiny cock, massive, meaty balls, and huge, chiseled glutes. His enormous, engorged cock and massive, meaty balls make an immense bulge in whatever pants he wears. His voice is smooth and suave.

Long has a sarcastic wit and dry sense of humor. He is kind, caring, compassionate. He has a panache for showmanship, but it often falters when he's surprised or emotional.

Long likes shrimp chips, being a wish dragon, offering his wisdom, seeing the wishes he grants make a difference, and hugs.

Long isn't super knowledgeable on the modern era; however, his last master, Din, lived in a big city, and as such, he has seen several modern amenities like cell phones, cars, skyscrapers, TVs, shrimp chips, etc.

As a wish dragon, Long has several abilities. His most prominent ability is, of course, granting wishes, which comes with a limited power to warp reality at will. However, he (as well as whoever he grants wishes for) is unable to use his powers to kill people, time travel, or make people fall in love; anything else is fair game. He doesn't have wings, but he is able to fly, float, and levitate with magic. And finally, he can shapeshift, mostly changing his size by shrinking or growing, but he can change his actual form, such as appearing human or as a dragon costume. He can even turn invisible to certain people, although the current owner of his teapot will always be able to see him.

Backstory:

Born into royalty as Longzhu, Long falsely learned at a young age that gold was power. Growing up, he worked towards increasing his wealth, expanding his borders, setting his "subjects" to labor and build him monuments to himself, and doing everything he could to increase his power, including ignoring payment pleas by his subjects. He married his daughters off to wealthy families and sent his son to war, only to coldly rebuff his son's "return as a hero" when his son fell in battle, and at the end of his life, when Long lay upon his deathbed, he expected to be surrounded by his family, friends, and subjects.

But he was alone, because Long had never understood nor appreciated the people in his life beyond anything more than means to increase his wealth and power; thus, no one truly loved or cared about him, and so he died cursing his fate, blind to his faults.

Instead of being welcomed into the heavens, as he expected, Long was punished by the gods, who transformed Long into a dragon. Long tried fleeing but was instantly sucked and bound to a jade teapot, tasked with serving ten masters by granting each one three wishes, along with the assignment of learning the true meaning of life.

When he introduced himself to Din Song, Long displayed an obviously inflated ego and enjoyed showing off his powers and apparent magnificence to Din Song, whom he immediately considered a "peasant boy," reflecting his past life as a human lord, and continued to act as some upper-crust noble while treating others as peasants.

Tasked by the heavens to serve ten masters and learn the true meaning of life before he may ascend to the spirit world, Long was eager and impatient to fulfill his obligation and encouraged and pressured his masters to use their wishes quickly. He was especially eager for Din to use all his wishes since Din was his final master to serve.

Long showed himself to be very arrogant and impatient with Din, yet awed and fascinated by the marvels of the modern age, having been in his teapot since the Qing Dynasty (which spanned the years of 1636 to 1912) before serving his prior master. Regardless, Long displayed some understanding, albeit biased, of humans: that the thing they most often want is wealth, which depressed him and embittered him to humanity. He was baffled and annoyed that Din wanted to use his wishes to restore his friendship with Li Na Wang but correctly suspected Din had his doubts when the boy lied to Li Na about his identity.

But after seeing Din and Li Na reconnect in their old neighborhood and with their old friends and neighbors, Long soon came to understand what he had been missing for centuries: that it is family and friends that truly make life worthwhile. The love and closeness he saw in Din, Li Na and their neighbors left such an impression that Long, after Din was embittered by Li Na's rejection and decided to use his last wish to be rich, chose to reveal his past to Din of how he'd lived his life for wealth and power and died alone and unmourned and wound up being punished by the heavens for his selfish life. What he'd seen and learned from Din and those close to him had finally taught Long what had eluded him for thousands of years, leaving him humbled and now appreciative of the things in life that no amount of gold could ever buy: love, friendship, and family.

When Pockets tried to kill Din, Long sacrificed himself to save Din, and although his sacrifice and learning his lesson earned him the right to finally pass on into heaven, Long ultimately passed it up to help Din, who had one wish left and thus had to begin his original sentence anew and serve an additional ten masters, this time bound to a white and gold teapot.

But this time, Long faced his mission with his faith in humanity restored and parted with Din as friends. Din wished Long luck and hoped they'd see each other again one day.
