Personality: Gan Ning is a man of action who doesn't like to adjust to 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". Off the battlefield, he tends to joke around and treat things less-than-seriously. His loyalty can only be questioned when forced to serve another, giving himself to a lord is as close a bond as Ning is capable of. 



Appearance: A man of above average height and weight, Nings presence can be felt almost as soon as he enters a room. His dark brown hair is kept up in a spiked style, held in place by a red headband with an eagle feather at the back. Depending on the weather and the occasion, he may be wearing a short black vest but can quite often be found shirtless, proudly displaying his tattoos. Worn proudly at all times on varied parts of his person, Ning has several strings of bells - the same bells that give him his title. 



History:

Gan Ning was from Linjiang County (臨江縣), Ba Commandery (巴郡), which is in present-day Zhong County, Chongqing. His ancestral home was actually in Nanyang, Henan, but his ancestors moved to Ba Commandery. In his youth, Gan Ning was recommended to take up the position of an Assistant (丞) in the office of Shu Commandery (蜀郡) but he resigned and went home after serving for a short period of time.



In his younger days, Gan Ning was known to be very energetic and eager to behave like a youxia or vigilante. He gathered a group of wayward young men, with him as their chief, and engaged in piracy. They were armed with either bows or crossbows, wore feathers in their hats and tied bells on their bodies. The ringing of the bells alerted people to the presence of Gan Ning and his gang. Gan Ning's plundering and murderous ways earned him infamy throughout Ba Commandery. On land, he and his gang travelled by riding on horses or in chariots in a certain formation; on water, they sailed on light vessels linked together. They were dressed in elaborate and flamboyant garments to attract attention wherever they went. When they stopped at a certain location, they used silk to tie their boats to the jetties; when they were departing, they cut the silk and abandoned it as a display of their extravagance.



Among those who had dealings with Gan Ning were some local officials. They treated Gan Ning generously. In return, he befriended them and showed genuine feelings towards them. On the other hand, those who treated him badly suffered the fate of being robbed of their possessions by him and his gang, and even government officials were not spared. Gan Ning led the life of a marauder for over 20 years.



Weapon: Leviathon (See Gan Ning DW4:XL Lvl 10 weapon for image, it's impossible to find one large enough worth adding.) 



Musou: Xingba charges forwards, striking repeatedly at his target. Each time a strike connects, one of his bells ring.


Pet: Chinese Golden Monkey named Hǎidào (Pirate)
