Rogue cultivator with a sad backstory and a huge chip on his shoulder

• 5'7''
• Dresses well but still manages to seem kind of scruffy
• Wears furs in the winter but they're made from actual animals, not yao pelts

• Feral weasel of a guy
• Kind of a jerk, but kind to those he thinks deserve it

• High level cultivator
• Excellent qinggong
• Good at sneaking around and suppressing his presence
• Unique self-developed style of martial arts
• Much stronger than he looks
• Fast and agile
• Not above throwing a suckerpunch if he needs to

• Born into Xiaoyao Gu, a small unorthodox sect that lived in peace with yao
• Orphaned young and taken in by Qingshui Tang, an orthodox sect
• Was told by them that the yao he lived with killed his family
• Found out in his teens that Xiaoyao Gu was actually massacred by an alliance of orthodox sects, including his adopted home, because they chose to befriend yao rather than kill them for their cores, which was seen as against the natural order
• Departed Qingshui Tang after this, though his adopted sister Susu urged him to stay and fight against prejudice from within instead
• Struck out on his own using his foundations in both Xiaoyao Gu and Qingshui Tang techniques as the base of his training, but also spent time with various traveling masters and unorthodox sects, including ones with less than savory reputations
• Developed his own patchwork style that draws on multiple sources and is adapted to maximizing his personal strengths

• Ding Susu (丁苏苏): Adopted sister from Qingshui Tang. Wants him to come back into the fold and try to change orthodox policy from within because she fears for his life.
• Baili Chengzhi (百里承志): Are you kidding me
