Description
The clan politics of the Zhao family are extensive, as far as if not more than other families like theirs. Lunxi grew up in an environment where information was power, where no one could be trusted. As soon as Lunxi could talk, he had learned very quickly who his family were, their place in heavenly society, and what his role was. Lunxi is a cold, calculating chessmaster who sits on the throne of the most pretigious family in the heavens. His own goals are a mystery to everyone, including those closest to him, but it is his unfailing charisma and hypnotic mystery that ties them to him. Lunxi knows this; he uses it. The people who serve him all know this.
He is naturally curious and fascinated by things he doesn't know. To humans, he is a cheerful, energetic, and considerate man who seems too gentle and too kind to exist. Sometimes, Lunxi himself wonders if that, too, is an act, like everything else he is and has to be, or if it really is his personality buried deep by masks and politics. He doesn't know which answer scares him more. In the end, he doesn't ponder it much.

Abilities
Pureblooded Denglong (蹬龙)
A denglong is a messenger dragon in charge of sending the will of the heavens to earth and from earth to the heavens. Despite being just a messenger, denglong are the fiercest species of dragon in the heavens. As a pureblooded denglong born into the highest echelon of heavenly society, Lunxi is naturally endowed with the many gifts of his birth. He is immortal and will never die from old age, and even the worst of wounds will not end him. That said, denglong (and by extension, Lunxi) are still able to be killed, though only with great effort.
Jadelike Scales
In his draconic form, Lunxi is immune to most weapons, magic, and diseases. His scales are tough and can rebound or outright block most projectiles, as well as resist magical energy. It is said that eating a denglong scale can grant immortality.
Timeless
When wounded, his body does not heal. Rather, it reverts itself back to a time where it was not wounded. Lunxi has no natural healing properties or a healing process as a result.
Strengths
- strong physical attacks
- magical resistance
- higher magical affinity
- flight
Weaknesses
- does not have much stamina
- lack of healing
- low dexterity when not in the air
- cannot be healed by other people, either
Summary
There are only ever two things that he hears people compare his eyes to. One, to diamonds, and two, to ice.
Diamonds, like his scales, like his hair and his heart: hardened by pressure and yet still desirable, valuable. Here is the head of the Zhao family, they say (and it is all they will ever say about him). I know him.
They do not.
His name is used like a cheap mint for their mouths, a show pony to parade around—"the Zhao family"—like he is nothing but an exhibit on display and something to be proud of. Lunxi knows they all use his name in vain, and yet that is the nature of the Game, so he does not say anything. He has played the Game his whole life, the game of pleasantries and clan politics, and it is all his bones and mouth will ever know. There are two things that the heavenly courts have taught him: first, how to lie, and two, how to live it.
"Ice" is the word he never hears directly but only through the walls, the whispers of the paint. He is like ice, they say, echoing the expensive patterened silks of those who came before, the squeak of shoes on white marble and the sound their voices carried. He is cold, uncaring.
Lunxi rarely dwells on the whispers of the walls but that is because he knows the sentences people have said hundreds of times and hundreds of years before. They do not faze him and they do not crack him: like ice, his empathy is brought to a standstill and lays frozen in the wasteland.
There is only one thing the heavenly courts cannot take from him.
In the heavens, he is a ruler and a subject all at once, the might of his family at his clawtips but each one all scheming to either take it away from him or take it with him. They all dance to the same tune and Lunxi knows he does, too. Words traded for poison, betrayals like common marketplace items. He is cold because the only thing he has ever known is snow.
But the earth does not know of his diamonds or his ice. Below, they do not care.
The heavens cannot take that away, too afraid to leave their godlike purities.
Lunxi is not.
Relationships
Sang, Hyogong instructor on humansHumans are interesting creatures, but Hyo is the most peculiar of them all. |
 Yiu, Fenfang retainerYou pity her, the poor thing, raised from childhood to revere you as her one and only god. The Yiu family has always been subservient to the Zhao family and she is no different. But there are few allies in your household, and even if you despise what she comes from, you care for her anyway. Her loyalty knows no bounds. |
Zhao, Jiyue younger brotherYou have been lucky, you think, to have a spare that lacks so much ambition. Jiyue is more content to watch than to do, and that is fine by you. He is an ally nonetheless—one that you care for, despite everything. One that you sympathize with, having grown up in a household as ruthless as yours. |
