Lu-Bu Fengxian

**Lu-Bu Fengxian** (onyomi: Ryo Fu) or simply as **Lu Bu** is a general from Han Dynasty and he is unlockable playable character in Kagihime Monogatari Eikyū Alice Musou. Like many warlords from the Three Kingdoms era, he previously attempted to establish himself as an independent power before he met his end against Cao Cao's forces. Romance of the Three Kingdoms famously dubs him to be the mightiest warrior of his time. He specialises in close range combat and wielding a deadly long halberd Qinglong ji; but due to high tier character like Jabberwocky, his trademarks from the Dynasty Warriors series are his high stats, his vastly superior moveset (including Skills and multiple Musou attacks), and his theme song which doubles as the musical motif from several of the games' opening sequences. He appears as Final Stage Mid Boss in both Aruto and Takion Arcs before fighting against Jabberwocky himself.

## Role in Game

### Summoning

From the Three Kingdoms era of 220 AD, Lu Bu along with other warriors from the Three Kingdoms where summoned by the guardians Zuo Ci and Zuo Han and their duty is to protect the world from invasion. After the summoned by Zuo Ci and Zuo Han, Jabberwocky uses Lu Bu as the riot's ultimate weapon of mass destruction and murderer for destroying any cities without sacrificing their lives to invade the city.

### Aruto and Takion Arcs

In Eikyū Alice Musou, Lu Bu becomes one of the Riot King's top officers in the Final Battle. Unlike other generals, little is indulged on how or when this occurs. He only serves Jabberwocky out of respect of the demon's incredible power; he is biding his time until he is powerful enough to slay Jabberwocky himself and claim the title of the strongest. Until then, Lu Bu serves the Jabberwocky Army, realizing the most powerful warriors of entire world will oppose the Riot King. Aside from Jabberwocky, he finds that the only ones strong enough to provide him with a challenge are the strongest officers like Grastrong the Riot Warrior. Also, Lu Bu is one of the only two characters in the game to make appearances for final stages in both Aruto and Takion Arcs opposing Jabberwocky, if he is impressed by each faction's capabilities and may defect to them, and also one of the two that have unique dialogues with Jabberwocky when encountered in the final stages.

## Character Information

### Appearance

Lu Bu is a oldest man more than 1796 years, he has short hair, red eyes and a trademark red antenna headpiece decorated with two long pheasant tail-feathers. He only wears a modern ancient Chinese stlye outfit consist of long sleeved red long coat, a bronze chinese style chest armor inside his coat, a long dark red pants with chinese style engravings and a pair of heavy metal boots. He also have a pair of steel gloves with long nail on each fingers.

### Personality

Much like from Dynasty Warriors series's, Lu Bu is typically depicted as an extremely aggressive, brutish, and bloodthirsty warrior who fights for the sole purpose of finding an opponent capable of providing him with a challenge along side of Jabberwocky. He believes himself to be the "Mightiest Man Alive" and believes that the only true justice in the world is not found in any court, but when one fights for one's life on the battlefield, where the strong survive and the weak are crushed. More of a man of action than talk, he disregards strategy and politics as a waste of his time (which is just as well, since he has little talent at either one). In spite of Jabberwocky Army's repeated failures, Lu Bu is brutally honest and has little faith in or respect for politicians, bureaucrats, or any cowards who use deceit to gain power.
