---

.:Appearance and Clothing/Armor:.
5'3 with eyes that are like portals to the shattered soul. Hair dyed light and usually pinned up by small disturbing teddy bear heads, one that mirrors the same maniac grin of Huiliang. Often seen with her beloved little Jio, a extremely vicious looking bear doll she drags along everywhere and frequently talks to. Her build is slender and very agile for one who lives the life of royalty. Huiliang's face is strangely capable of giving vastly different expressions in a startlingly short period of time, and most of them are as over the top as her personalities tend to be. She wears wildly colored robes and dresses that have many ribbons when arriving at formal gatherings, but much prefers her custom tailored black and white uniform and long heavily laced boots that offers her the freedom of movement one as hyper as she needs to thrive. She certainly hates being tied down unless it's by her own command...

---

.:Personality:.
Liu Huiliang has what one would call multiple personality disorder... if all those personalities were also bat shit zany and out of control. Her personalities swing wildly and can occur even in the middle of a sentence. Huiliang demands to be called by different titles during each as well. Making life very hard on her terrified servants. Having a fractured personality causes her to often refer to herself in third person which she demands everyone to think as cute... unless she is in her most hostile personality which HATES being called just about anything. Somewhat unifying traits to her personalities are greed, narcissism, twisted dark humor, and extremely high energy. However one can never enter a room with this princess expecting anything other than spontaneous antics with sometimes lethal consequences.

.:Weapons:.
.:Main Weapon/Set:. Maniac Heart
.:Type:. Combat Rod


A long cute(?) rod that can be used for bludgeoning with one end or stabbing with the other. Huiliang can spin this at great speed and uses both sides often in tandem during battle.

.:Secondary Weapon:. Rending Claws & Jio
.:Type:. Weapon Set - Claws & Puppet


Possessing a strange talent she can use Jio as a marionette to distract foes with her right hand. His creepy appearance and Huiliang's ability to make up a personality for him through ventriloquism can cause confusion, unease, and even fear from enemies.  Huiliang then makes use of blades protruding from each finger of her left handed glove to attack at high speed during even the slightest pause. The blades can be secretly detached and thrown up to three at a time if the enemy is out of close range. One post cool down period.

.:History:.
Liu Huiliang is the princess of Chang An, born to Emperor Ling and Empress He. Raised and educated by only the best Han tutors and caretakers. Emperor Ling pampered the girl as a child and thus she became very spoiled very fast, however she was still a fairly normal if snobbish princess. Huiliang would play with her brothers and sometimes astonish even her teachers with her potential in many fields. She beat her brothers at Go nearly 3/1 and had a gift for dancing and song. Many of the officials who supported the Liu family in Luo Yang felt relieved if they could force her onto the imperial seat somehow, as she was showing signs of great potential. Something the Han was severely lacking in recent generations. Sadly fate can be cruel...

It was at the age of 15 that she had a close call that seemed to break her into what she is today. A small trip to meet a relative on her 15th birthday. Riding in a carriage that was guarded by Han elites and not a single chance was taken. The protection would not be enough when a freak thunderstorm occurred while at camp near a river side village. The village dam had broken and flood waters were threatening to engulf the area. The princesses convoy attempted to escape the raging waters but in the end strong waves of water swept the carriage away. The soldiers looked high and low for days and found only a wrecked carriage along side the river. The princess was thought dead.

A year later what was thought a miracle occurred. Liu Huiliang Had returned! Found at the gates of Luo Yang clutching a strange doll and crying uncontrollably with barely a thread of clothing. She was promptly taken into the palace and placed in medical care. She quickly seemed to recover and those who cherished her in the kingdom rejoiced...

Until the truth became apparent. This was not the same princess that was lost to flood waters. Her personality was extremely unstable and she seemed to be a near completely different person in the same body. Demanding insane feats from her servants, gathering a new and much less savory group of personnel, creating her own personal torture chamber, and attempting to seduce random officials... Going from the most loved and most capable of the Imperial children to the most dangerous and most corrupt in just one year. Since then, she has been nothing more than yet another reason for the Han going to pieces. Maybe they should have never found her....

Not sure what the others might say about being the Emperor's "illegitimate?" offspring. Or legitimate.

The teddy bear weapon is an issue, since it's an inanimate object. If magic were not downgraded as it has been, it might have functioned as a musou. I have this suggestion instead. Been going over ways for her to be able to use this, while inanimate, in ways that complement the setting without going over the limit.

First, treat this as a weapon set. Liu will wear the claws on one hand, to be used in attacks. The bear part of the set is inanimate, and can act as a marionette. Meaning one hand can have strings attached to make the bear seem to move.

The distraction part comes in with Liu casting her voice as a ventriloquist, to make it seem as if the bear is talking or communicating. I came up with that concept because it seems like a perfectly valid distraction. Who wouldn't look at a talking toy? Leaving opportunities for Liu to rake the enemy with her bear claws.

Tried as much as I could to preserve the functionality of the bear, sans magic. It could not function over a long distance, but 10-15 away on strings seems far enough, however the claws wouldn't function in a melee range at that distance. However, making them double as throwing knives and claws would allow her to do this. Up close she holds or wears them as claws, but with the possibility of hurling a couple at a distant target.

In general when I go for ammunition based weapons, I do a limit to the use per post, rather than attempting to quantify ammo limits. But that is me. For this, if she had three claws held between her fingers, I would go with this. It's a pattern I'm going to use for a weapon of my own in the future. Three claws held between her fingers, up to 3 hurled per post. One post as a cooldown recovery for the thrown objects.

Essentially this is like a weapon set. One hand controls the claws, one controls the bear.

Done editing weapon and class is undecided for now. Not sure what she fits...

Awesome profile with a uniqueness.. by far one of the best reads so far.

The issue I want to pick up is about being the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Ling. Whilst everything fits (with Ling being 22 when you are born) I question the history part given Liu Huiliang's status.

Children born from a concubine were treated as such, they are practically second class citizens compared to their brothers/sisters born from legitimate parents. I struggle to believe that Emperor Ling would have the time or the care to invest in a daughter of his which basically came from one of his imperial concubines.

Would Empress He suffice?

[Storyteller]

I'm happy with this. How this works with the Emperor needs to be discussed and agreed further - but your profile and history is fine.

If you intend to do anything Emperor/Han related which could influence the plot of the site - please seek agreement of at least two members of staff.

I'm good with all of this.

So, Accepted 1 of 2.

2 out of 2 and accepted.
