"Among men; Red Hare, among horses; Lu Bu...wait, that doesn't sound right"
- Townsfolk, messing with history – like usual
Name: Lu Bu, styled Fengxian
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Style: Canon, not to be confused with 'cannon'
Personality:
Lu Bu is not the twisted abomination who is devoid of all emotion, as is often depicted by rumors and tales following his bloody carnage. In fact, Lu Bu is rather sentimental and understanding, he is a general and a commander before a beast, and a warrior with honor and principle before a raging madman. That being said, do not trust Lu Bu, for his own twisted sense of justice was crafted, and not developed, it is, like most of his beliefs, as thin as a layer of ice, and as predictable as a raging bull. He is easily tempted, easily fooled and easily angered. He reacts to all situations as though they define his very soul. He is greedy, ambitious and he believes in only one thing, strength. The best way to describe his true inner self would be with but a single line...
'After all Lu Bu does not care from whence the blood flows, as long as it does'
In short, do not judge him, and do not be careless enough to underestimate him. He is deadly and careless, and his own recklessness and self-centric morals make him only as useful as an unreliable hound.
Weapon(s):
Lu Bu carries with him a Halberd named Sky Piercer/or Pronged Trident. The weapon is 6 feet in length, and spans across the majority of his body. A dragon coils the shaft of the weapon, sprouting out with large teeth as the pronged blade jabs from within the dragons mouth. The halberd has a variety of red and black ruffs, that represent its symbolic presence and ownership to the legendary warrior before god.
His second weapon is an Imperial sword. It is like any other sword of elaborate design and function.
History:
For historical accuracy, please refer to wikipedia or Kongming.net, where I am sure you will come across a variety of interesting tales about his poor misunderstood life. (yes I know wikipedia is not a primary source, sue me).

Fengxian was gifted, even at birth. Unlike the masses of men and women, fengxian did not awaken with love or compassion. He did not feel the warm loving voice of a mother without a face, or the excitement of nurses and of men who bantered over the gender of the baby.
Fengxian missed all of that, and more. He was born with blood on his hands, for his own large body split open the carcass that would later identify his mother. He was greeted with death and anger, and it were these first symbols and thoughts that helped define his legacy, his existence.
Fengxian is now considered a god of war, but to him – and to those who witnessed his childhood, he is no more a god than a servant to blood, death and decay. He is no different than a madman, a psychotic abomination that craves the one thing that spills in the masses. He is the harbinger, the destroyer, the wicked believer – he is the warrior of death, the dooms day caller, the reaver of lost souls. He is all and more, and it all started in Zhao county, at his very unimaginable birth. For his mother was not the first, nor the last the die because of his presence. As years passed, and as he trained in solitude, his village became stricken by harvest failures, by famines and locust swarms. The plagues ravaged his countryside in the dozens and men of honest worth turned to thievery and banditry. His very village collapsed on itself, and remained corrupted until eventually it was purged by the Yellow Turbans. But by then Lu Bu had grown, and he had mastered his halberd and he had mastered his strength – for that is all he had, and it was all that kept his body from breaking and his mind from failing. He dedicated his life to carnage, to fighting, but he did not fight to harm – but to prove himself, to fight and fight alone.
In the end, he cared not for the reason or for the answer. He fought simply to survive, to beat his legacy, to defy his believed damnation. He fought because it is all he knew, and the more he fought the more he killed, and the more he killed the better he became, until at last he was recognized by a warlord, a man who helped train him – turn his strength into a tool, a weapon. Lu Bu was a fierce tiger before he met Ding Yuan, but the weapon that was forged in Ding's presence was far greater than anybody could have imagined, for now Lu Bu was not a tool, he was a god – a god of blood and destruction. He does not lead, he does not bow...He seeks and he destroys, for whatever morals he believes or for whatever payments are due. His twisted and warped idealism has led him only to believe in two things, strength and honor, and he upholds both with all his might.
