~They say the wall that collapsed due to his tears could never be rebuilt again. Together, their tears washed away the barrier and revealed the bones beneath as it all swept further away--until only a lotus bloom remained.~

Name: Xie Wufei
Age: 20
Occupation: soldier/POW
Nationality: Chinese
Appearance: He’s about 5’6” tall and slender with long limbs and a longish, relatively pretty face. However, his eyes are very sharp with faint natural dark circles around them. His dark hair used to flow about his face in smooth layers, but is currently very short, though growing longer once he’s captured. It kinda spikes and almost makes him appear boyish instead of pretty, excepting his eyes that always make him look older.
Personality: His is a man with great honor and integrity, but gentle disposition. His is unsuited to be a soldier, but hardy enough to do it anyway. He appreciates poetry, beauty, and nature most and loves wholly. His mental fortitude has gotten him though a lot by internalizing his pain. He’s quick to draw inward toward his inner peace instead of dealing with it. He would take an attack rather than see another hurt in his place. However, taking all the pain piles on top of him so that the attacks slide off of him less and less each time. He’s almost desperate to find that inner peace again outside of himself because his is drying up.
Bio: Set during WWII, he is the eldest and only son of rice farmers. His parents are good, honorable folk with a love of stories which they shared with their son. His sister, Lairen, is eight years old and considered a miracle due to her unexpected consumption. He adores her deeply and wishes to fight for her as well as his parents. So when conscripted, he goes proudly and fights for months before being captured by the Japanese. After a short stay in a prisoner camp on the front lines, he was shipped to a larger labor camp in Japan. He spent another couple months there where a fellow prisoner was attempting to organize a revolt. It failed, but Wufei managed to escape. Fleeing into the countryside, he seeks refuge at a temple’s garden, knowing little about it. There, he picks a sacred flower and falls under the protection of the gods and their servants in the temple…
