Yue Zheng Lian Huan

Lianhuan with ice cream!

### Age

Physically 12, mentally around that age as well, emotionally around 14, and chronologically more than a century old

## **Backstory**

He was born approximately a century ago in what is referred to as the "Ancient Chinese sector." However, this sector would be quite foreign to both historical and mythological accounts, so varied it was and is. He is the biological younger brother of Yuezheng Xuqiao; they share the same mother and father, and they have an approximate 3-year difference between them.

While the brothers were emotionally close and always stuck together whenever they could, the difference in their potential in magic was vast, with Lianhuan being discovered to have one of the lowest potential in magic ever seen--so low, in fact, that it was thought that his compatibility with magic was zero even at best. So, in contrast with Xuqiao's upbringing, which was full of others' expectations in various areas, Lianhuan was more pitied, though he was lauded for his efforts. Still, Huanhuan did not develop a foolish envy towards his brother or resignation to his own weakness. Instead, he trained and trained to be "as strong as [his] older brother"--maybe not truly as strong, but strong enough that he would not become a heavy burden.

There was improvement, though perhaps frustratingly minimal. It seemed as if his existence itself forbade him from true progress. Nevertheless, Yuezheng Lianhuan did not give up. He kept training, even though he was only a child. Of course, he did not forget to be a child--he continued spending time with his brother and his friends and his mentors, trying to make the most and best of his time.

But then...well, all of that is what he can remember.

He was only twelve when space-time froze. Not only that, most of the "world"'s humans vanished. At best, one person from each family remained. At worst, no one was left. Entire tribes vanished. Memories faded.

Except...

He was still there.

He, the second son of the Yuezheng family, was still there.

An anomaly.

Or as he calls it...a "miracle."

Except it is not a miracle to be lauded, and one can only guess how much he understands this.

He is "someone who is of interest" to "them."

He *is* that someone whom "they" are searching for.

"They" are not looking for him to congratulate his existence. No, "they" have guessed his existence and followed its trail only because "they" want him dead.

And so he who lives with all the others in that different world is not someone who is known, not only because he has never had the reasons for being known, but also because he cannot be known.

His brother and his tribal leader understand this. So, when they figured out that this miracle, this anomaly, could break out of the space-time boundaries, they immediately let him go.

More than 1,000 years has passed in Forengard since the sector's isolation, though it's not as if he would be able to see any changes. He has, after all, not really changed at all all this time, shielded from mentally aging and immune from physical aging. But now, he wants to change. He explores the "boundaries" of magic that are different from those in the world he has always known, and at one point, he joins the group of mages led by two deities, eager to improve further and to be able to make a difference. And once in a while, he goes back. He visits his brother, his tribal leader, his mentors--and perhaps to them, he's still the same child who never left.

He can't get stuck in there again. If he does, he will become what he does not want to become--a burden for his loved ones in his inner world, and a meaningless existence that will be forgotten once again in the outer world. No, he must continue living, continue fighting--the former for those who no longer exist themselves, and the latter for those who guard his existence.

But he is not the one who is running out of time.

## **Relationships**

### **Yuezheng Xuqiao**

His older brother, his role model, and probably his favorite person in the world.

He would do anything--absolutely anything--for his brother. However, his knowledge has limits, and at the moment, he's unaware that his brother is slowly dying in a world where almost no one except him and Galaxian know about, making the situation a bit of a tragedy.

### **Rensa**

The other is his tribal leader. He acts a bit too goofy in front of his elder but is respectful of the other at heart. The other sometimes acts exasperated from his antics but does believe that he will grow up to be a respectable and worthy mage--and this sentiment is fully appreciated by Lianhuan.

### **Time**

Time is Lianhuan's employer. He sometimes acts unnecessarily formal in front of the god to get kicks but also does seem to try to get the god to lighten up. He mostly sees the god as knowing of more than he does, and even a source of reference? Nonetheless, he doesn't think the other knows everything.

Sometimes he thinks about the fact he might be older than even Time and just goes "o.o". Don't dwell on it, Lianhuan.

### **Chronos**

Chronos is Lianhuan's other employer. In comparison to his behavior around Time, he acts considerably goofier in front of her, probably because he doesn't think she'll judge him for his shenanigans.

Their relationship would have been more light-hearted had the entire coma thing never happened. After all, without that, he wouldn't have to pretend to be happy and carefree *all* the time.

### **Galaxian**

They usually talk to each other like friends, and Lianhuan trusted the other enough to ask the other for help during the fiasco with Chronos' coma. They still remain in touch even after Chronos has woken up. More specifics are unknown.

### **Heaven Dean**

Lianhuan seems to be acquaintances with her, asking her about "modern" proceedings and not minding her company. He seems to be a bit more mature in her presence...sometimes. The rest of the time, not really. He kind of sees Time rubbing off on her, thus sometimes being over-serious when interacting with her and finding it funny to do so.

### **Jenny**

Lianhuan doesn't seem to care about her discipline, and other than the "domestic violence" (his words! Not the narrator's!) she initiates when he does something ridiculous with ice cream (he acts even goofier in front of her than with others), they seem to be on pretty friendly terms. He's afraid of needing brain surgery from her broomstick episodes every day, though that doesn't stop him from kind of asking for it through his actions on a similarly daily basis.

### **Yvonne**

He doesn't have anything restraining him from being noisy and crazy around her. Definitely someone who could exhaust her without actually trying or being aware of it.

### **Cuthwolf**

Cuthwolf and him are buddies! Cuthwolf is nice because he goes along with Lianhuan's ideas most of the time. Really, that might not be a good thing.

## **Powers/Abilities**

Lianhuan has an average level of Ancient Chinese magic, and he would be a master if his potential could increase further, but due to (explanations in his backstory) a certain event, he has been unable to improve in this aspect. He does not specialize in sealing magic as many do, but instead energy and healing magic, to an extent. The mage is pretty adept in elemental manipulation, though his spells are at large for being easily canceled out. He is rather adoptable with his powers, though he sometimes forgets spells, and his abilities are more superhuman regardless, such as agility, speed, and strength.

In any case, due to the above not having “light” and “dark” classifications, he has no chance of going towards dark/”illegal” magic. In “normal” magic, he is considered top league, able to use many variations of spells, strong or small. But, he is pretty much a beginner despite his talent in this area, as his first and second powers contrast enough for it to be considered a fresh start. One could say his extreme lack of talent in Chinese magic suits him for Western magic, somehow.

## **Utilities**

Lian Huan can use many magical objects as weapons, but his primary weapon is a sword (which is still unnamed, because the narrator cannot apparently learn how to properly name swords), which is connected with his magical strengths and attributes.

## **Quotes**

"We can feed the--the--the creatures with the children with yellow bobby heads!" -To Cuthwolf, about feeding rice to ducks.

## **Information**

* Most misunderstood character in GGaD, apparently, so some clarifications (before a form update actually occurs):
	+ He can cook willingly for both himself and others, and has done so for more than 1,002 years.
	+ His diet as a whole is likely healthier than most anyone else's as its healthy nature has been mandated by his older brother, who he will always listen to.
	+ Unlike what some impressions of him seem to be, he *does* have common sense and *is* a *very* hardworking individual.

* He would not be very happy to see a bloody bird on his desk because he uses the desk for calligraphy and general paperwork, which means he leaves papers and scrolls on the desk overnight, even if they're rolled up and not stretched flat-out across the table.
	+ He just doesn't like blood around him in general and if possible, he doesn't want to clean any needless messes up.

* His cooking is "decent", which means he can get anything to the point that it's edible (and not charred) and so it has at least some sort of flavor in accordance to what materials were used.

* Has tried making cooked ice cream and succeeded, barely.

* Lianhuan can easily hunt birds or most any other creatures, but even though he doesn't mind it (and by no means does he share the "no killing" philosophy that Galaxian has, he's also not very keen about hunting.
	+ He only hunts if absolutely necessary. For instance, he tends to have less restrictions on killing monsters than killing elk and deer.

* He's up by 5 A.M. to train every day and he has a balanced and good sleep schedule.
	+ His time management is actually possibly better than Galaxian's.

* He doesn’t talk with English as his native language, so he has a strong Chinese accent, though he is with no grammatical errors (or it’d drive his narrator crazy).

* He finds puns funny.

* He loves ice cream. He summons it a lot. He once filled the Clocktower's refrigerator with it, resulting in an ice cream avalanche, and he's not afraid to do it again.
	+ As Time phrased beautifully on 8/25/19, "I feel that Lianhuan tries to solve everything at first with ice cream. There's nothing that ice cream [can't] fix."

* His favorite flavor of ice cream is...wait for it...here's the suspense.........ice cream!

* He eats an inhumane amount. A lot.
	+ He especially loves sweets.
	+ Unlike popular opinion seems to think, he that "inhumane amount" is food in general.

* He was OC!Galaxian's base, which explains some of his naive/innocent/carefree traits.
	+ Thankfully, he was (mostly?) spared the angst.
		- Actually, he was based off of the first base, which would be his brother, Yue Zheng Xu Qiao. So that makes him the second one.

* His original name was Aoyi Iryoku, or Iryoku Kamen, but he's Chinese, so the narrator changed it.
	+ Aoyi had light manipulation, and other powers the narrator may have forgotten.
	+ Aoyi had green eyes, which Lianhuan was supposed to have, but the narrator decided that it'd be weird genetically, considering his older brother has brown eyes.
	+ He's the complete opposite of Aoyi/Usoshaku, though, in terms of personality.
