Mo Lang

Mo Lang (Simp. Chinese 莫浪) is one of two protagonists in Black and White Twin Dragons.

## Character History

### Before the Manhua

Mo Lang lived in Baiye Village, where he has a reputation of being a punk, and often has to defend Bai Qi from bullies. He was, to some degree, cared for by Zhao Dahan.

### Black and White Twin Dragons Part 1

Mo Lang first appears when he steals a bowl of beef offal from the Village Chief. He teases Zhao Dahan about being old, and therefore needing to watch his weight and/or eat healthier foods. Then, noticing that two villagers were bullying Bai Qi, he goes over to fight them, but Bai Qi, when using a new invention, accidentally electrocutes him along with the bullies. Though he yells at Bai Qi for electrocuting him, he ultimately doesn't stay mad. Bai Qi then tells Mo Lang he wants to kill the nearby dragon, which Mo Lang scoffs at, and tells Bai Qi he'll only come along if he asked nicely. But then the Dragon drops by and snatches his cow, Jasmine, and he becomes very upset and demands that they go fight the dragon and get Jasmine back.

Finding out that they lack weapons, Mo Lang then leads his friend to the Zhao Dahan's storeroom, where they pick out weapons to fight the dragon with. Mo Lang chooses a large sword called the "Cow Slaughtering Knife" (Probably one of the Chief's set of large swords that he used to control with his Qi powers), which at first looked cool but he then became disdainful of, thinking it really is just a knife for killing cows. At the dragon's cave, their first attempt to lure the dragon with the fake explosive cow fails, so he suggests that they make the cow sexy, which also fails. Then Mo Lang impulsively challenges the dragon head-on, but it easily snaps the sword in half, leading Mo Lang to start running away from it. During the chase Bai Qi rolls into a rock with a large cracking sound, making Mo Lang think his friend was killed. This makes him extremely angry, and he then fights the dragon with a large stick. Due to the Dragon's strength he almost gets beaten up, but Bai Qi saves him in time using some bombs he makes. At the last moment, the dragon crushes Bai Qi within its claws, but Mo Lang accidentally activates the Death God's Bloody Blade, which he uses to finish off the dragon.

He ends up having to carry Bai Qi, who broke a number of bones, but later set him down. Once the villagers arrive to the dragon's cave, Bai Qi tries to pin all the credit onto him, but he tells the Villagers they worked together to kill the dragon, for which they are celebrated as heroes.

## Appearance

Mo Lang has reddish-brown eyes and dark brown hair. He is taller than Bai Qi, and wears a red vest lined with brown fur over a black shirt. He wears white pants whose cuffs have a red and black patter and black leggings with bandages wrapped around the ankles and thighs. On his feet are red canvas shoes.

When he used the Death God's Bloody Blade in the battle against the flying drgaon, his eyes turned red.

## Personality

Mo Lang is described as being rather "punkish". He's somewhat shameless, and has no problems with stealing food from Zhao Dahan or sneaking into the chief's armory. He appears to be a little arrogant, at least around Bai Qi, though it's clearly something his best friend doesn't take seriously. He also tends to be rather casual and blunt, and easily shows emotion, which leads to him seeming a bit goofy. Nevertheless, at least one villager thinks he's extremely cool, and others respect his strength, courage, and/or fighting ability. He is also protective of his friends and family, as seen by him flying into a rage when he believes Bai Qi died at one point during the battle with the Dragon, and his first thought after being knocked out by the Xuanwu Assassin being that Bai Qi and Zhao Dahan were in danger and needed his help. Perhaps as a result of his attachment to those close to him, he also trusts them to come to his aid in times of trouble and puts faith in their abilities. He isn't afraid to share the credit for a feat he achieved with the help of someone else, and he's also willing to stand up against injustice. However, it's noted he either isn't very intelligent or simply lacks common sense. While it isn't a problem in daily life, it ends up being used for comic relief, as when he thought Xuanwu was a nation of break dancers, or it ends up being the cause of certain shenanigans, such as his (unsuccessful) suggestion to make the robotic cow sexy.

## Relationships

### Bai Qi

He is best friends with Bai Qi, and often protects him from bullies.

### Jasmine

Jasmine is the name of Mo Lang's cow. It is shown that he has a strong attachment to her.

### Zhao Dahan

Mo Lang has a rather close relationship with the Village Chief, to the point that he's able to mess with him without the fear of being punished. In one panel depicting a memory from Mo Lang's childhood, Zhao Dahan is shown acting as a paternal figure to Mo Lang as a child.

### Seven

There is some fan speculation that since Bai Qi is related to the Prince of Stan, Mo Lang might be related to Seven. **However, this is not yet confirmed.**

## Trivia

* Bai Qi is unable to carry Mo Lang, but Mo Lang is able to carry Bai Q
	+ Bai Qi complains that Mo Lang eats too much, which likely contributes to the reason why Mo Lang is too heavy for him to carry.

* Mo Lang is proud of being Niuzhanese. When Bai Qi suggests he get a pig to replace Jasmine, he protests that people in Niuzhan have always raised cows. Similarly, when Bai Qi corrects him that all Xuanwu, not xuan wu (炫舞, cool dancing), people are stronger than him, Mo Lang dismisses him and says Niuzhan is better anyways.
