Name: Baozhai Guan
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Motivation: Adventure, Freedom and the Finer Things
Personality: Constantly inebriated, Baozhai is usually in a relaxed an fluid state, and generally seems to be a happy and carefree person. She enjoys the company of others, especially her comrades.
Weapons: None.
Powers: Baozhai is able to manipulate her opium smoke, or any other smoke, haze or mist for that matter, and then use it to fight against the demons. These can be used to subdue, or even a method to lethally choke or poison. Her most favorite and commonly used tactic is to increase the potency of her opium smoke, to the point that it quickly incapacitates. Her powers are also obviously apt for subterfuge and evasion, easily creating smokescreens.
Artifact: "Terrapin Pipe" - Legend tells of a terrapin with a magical spoon, able to reproduce any soup it touches, forever keeping a man from hunger. This pipe has a similar quality, and is used by Baozhai to smoke copious amounts of opium, both for the simple sake of pleasure, and to fuel her magic.
Strengths: "Wise and Coy" - Baozhai is known as an intelligent girl, and often knows how to work a situation to her favor.
Weaknesses: "Opium Addiction" - Baozhai is highly addicted to opium, and is subsequently a somewhat lackadaisical person, inclined to leisurely laying about and talking the day away. The addiction has also slowed her wit to an extent, though she is still sharper than most.
Bio: Baozhai was born and raised in a small village in a mountain pass, about a two days walk north east of Xian. Like most small villages of the era, hers was periodically troubled by demons. Some were but a nuisance, tricking and misleading the townsfolk, but usually posing no bigger threat than a waste of time. Others, though, would prove to be more destructive, and often times the villagers themselves would be attacked and killed, or they would find their homes and fields burnt and destroyed. When she was still young, her father styed himself a "Demon Hunter", but he was not trained in the ways of combat, and was soon slain. Her mother, sick with grief, took her own life, leaving young Baozhai to make a life for herself. Taking her parents house and small field as her own, she soon had an idea that would bring her from her dire situation to greener pastures. She decided to grow a new yet taboo crop she had been hearing about, said to be very valuable, prized by vendors in in Xian; opium.
Years later, Baozhai had become fairly wealthy through her dealings in Xian, and decided to finally move to more a splendiferous setting, and so settled in Xian, procuring a decently sized villa on the hill. Over time, her time in the smoke dens and ale houses saw her meeting all sorts of people, including many who called themselves "Demon Slayers". First, she mocked them, retelling her fathers foolish foray into the field. As she spoke with them, though, she began to hear of glory and adventure, gold and pleasure. Now, boastful Demon Slayers are either liars, dead, or exceptionally good at what they do, and liars don't last long in these circles. Once she'd seen the men who told these tales enough to discern their truthfulness, she decided to join them on their adventures, looking for more fun than she could find in the smoke dens. After a few years of following along with her adopted comrades, she found ways to harness magic in ways many find difficult; she can manipulate smoke and haze with ease, and though this ability is obviously not the most combatively inclined, she has proven to be a more than capable component of a team of Demon Slayers.
