SPECIES

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

APPEARANCE Intimidating. Stupidly tall (190cm/6'3") and stupidly broad. Fit, tidy, and formal. Brown hair, kept short and swept back. Stern amber eyes. Brows as impressive as the rest of him. His posture is typically strict, alert, and upright without looking unnatural. Wears a frosty, unenthused, and thoughtful expression.

IDENTIFYING ASPECTS Hands callused from gun use. A number of recent fading scars. Abs for days.

CLOTHING STYLE Casual workwear or sportswear in soft neutral colors like white, cream, grey. Wears a platinum wedding band with a stick figure fish carved on the inside on his ring finger. Also wears a rose gold watch with double rattrapante chronographs.

VOICE Clear, concise, commanding. Usually calm but can become not-calm quickly. Captain's health tip.

OLFACTORY Sea salt, rain, cedar.

ABILITIES

INTELLIGENCE On his mental acuity: "His brain is like a precision instrument, waterproof and shockproof and efficient, and will never be overwhelmed by any difficulties or even desperation. His [...] instinct allows him to collect information, analyze quickly, accumulate storage, and attack decisively almost anytime and anywhere." His intellect is his best and brightest weapon.

COMBAT SKILLS A trained member of the Public Security Bureau — a police officer. He's skilled in hand-to-hand combat and can efficiently use both firearms and blades. He keeps his body in tip-top shape.

MISCELLANEOUS Can lockpick. Will tell you he can't kick down a door but he absolutely will. Good at basketball, swimming, and diving. Seems immune to addictions. Once broke three treadmills.

INVENTORY

• 9mm pistol & a moderate amount of ammunition.
• A tactical knife.
• His Mercedes AMG G63, which is the world's most expensive paperweight at present.

MANIFESTATION

NAME Firegazer

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The Firegazer is a tall, top-heavy robed figure whose bottommost outlines are constantly morphing at its edges as if made of soot and smoke. It has what looks to be a crown and mane of fire that has not been properly stoked. It stinks of gasoline. What body can be seen underneath is actually quite thin and a deep, rotting blue. Its slim wrists are fitted with shackles heavy enough to cause its shoulders to sag and its arms to hang straight.

ATTACKS AND BEHAVIOR Its movement is typically slow, laborious, and searching. When it's near, the scent of gasoline becomes overwhelming. If one faces the manifestation down and allows it to come near enough, the temperature will rise to unbearable levels, the smoke, ash, and residue that pours off of it causing difficulty in seeing and breathing. If one runs from this manifestation it will chase with a surprising amount of focus and speed, using the heavy chains about its wrists to try and smack and pin its targets down. Though it can chase quickly, its actual attacks are arduous. Physically hitting the Firegazer is possible and will cause it to back down, but comes with the risk of stoking the flames that it carries on its shoulders and back.

IC PERMISSIONS

PHYSICAL AFFECTION Yes. On receiving, how he reacts is based solely on a vibe check — he'll react coolly at best, irritated in the middle, and furious at worst. On giving, he's often more reserved but willing to reach out to someone who might be in need of it.

FLIRTING Yes, with the caveat that there will be no serious follow through. Flirting and UST are welcome because he loves a challenge and is quite dominant, but he won't pursue anything.

SHIPPING No, he is taken and loyal and an insane person about his husband.

FIGHTING & INJURING Yes. (oocly i love fight threads so much let's tussle) He's in great shape, has high pain tolerance, and is professionally trained for physical combat. He can take an above-average beating. That said, he is a normie dude with normie limitations.

KILLING OOCly I'm open to it, should an occasion arise. Talk to me!

MINDREADING Yes, go ahead. His brain is a prized weapon of its own but he still has a whole load of extremely human issues and memories knocking around in there.

WARNINGS Chonghua is a criminal investigator who has dealt with many triggering topics in his career. Generally, Tunhai contains the following content warnings: trauma, kidnapping, suicide, drugs and drug use, violence, gun violence, gore, death or dying, rape, cannibalism, dismemberment, prostitution, drowning, murder.

TRIGGERING TOPICS Thanks to Bu Chonghua's experience in the field with the above topics, it takes a lot to phase him. That said, arson, his parents' murders, or causing harm to Wu Yu are all triggers for him.
