A demon said to have the looks of a lion and armored bull. The Chinese New Years was created to protect the population from it. However, he has evolved past being kept at bay by loud noises, firecrackers, and the color red. He is actually quite intrigued to watch these parades and thinks they were started to honor him. He is still sensitive to loud noises and they are mildly irritating. He now sees red as a symbol of his power to overcome his weaknesses. The occasional snacking on children is still a favored past time.
Has 4 horns, many sharp incisors and oversized canines, adorned with small blue-ish green scaling under eye and across cheeks, around neck and down the front of throat. Along biceps, shoulders, and thighs are thicker plating. Black base also has minor scaled patches more leather like in design but mostly covered in long heavy coat of draped fur. Tan accent markings are same found in anthro form.
6ft @ shoulder 11ft on hind legs
Gender: Endowed Male*10 inch length, girth 6.2 inch (like a dainty female's wrist), curves to the right; sheathed with furry hung balls that have their own beard.
Stature: Endo, meso combination. Large boned, broad shoulders, deep chest, defined muscles of the chest, calves, thighs, arms, squarish shape (his waist nearly matches up with his shoulders in width), can easily gain fat and muscle, rounded heavier stomach area giving a softer look; however don't let the plush fool you. Beneath the blanket of fur is rock hard toneness. Hidden by fur, but the thickness of legs, arms and chest are still defined.
Features: Eyes are a dull orange. Deep set, small but highly expressive and displaying much intelligence. Often somber faced with a large muzzle somewhere between long and short; but not squished. Has been said to never have smiled once. Looks are calculating, quiet strong type...but unhindered rage is not unheard of; however showing emotion is the last resort. Teeth and jaw pressure make sure his words are just as powerful as his bite. Ref - credit to ALUltra.DA
Stride: Digitigrade bipedal with a rigid commanding long steady step; foot pads on the bottom.
Fur: Thick and maned like a lion. Its everywhere and covers everything. It is longer around the elbows, skull, neck, shoulders, and from back of knees calves down. The fur that drags the ground from feet are either left to drag or are shoved into silky slippers big enough to fit his sturdy feet. The fur is mostly black with hints of brown tints around the crown of his skull and tail. Tail is bushy and curled in the traditional chinese style depicting clouds, long enough to be slung over his shoulder or used as a belt. The rest of his fur is intensely combed until it resembles something of straight and neat; only just borderline tamed. Takes hours of maintenance a day to keep up with it.
Markings: Refined set of brown dots above each eyebrow. All four legs from elbow and knee down is brown. Mane is ringed with brown to light brown/tan highlights as well as tail strands.
Scent: He favors strong, distinct, dark and warm incenses. Can smell like any combinations of things. His favored is Amber and Fire Wood. Gives him a dark, earthy vibe and burning of a sweet tree. The amber makes the burning wood smell give off just a hint of sweet with the darker wood tones.
Voice: Rumbling dominate but sincere bass vocal tone. Speaks regally in Taigorian Languages. Includes: Chinese, Tibetan, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, etc. Kasurian (Common)is average and conversational.

Origins: Taigoria (China)
Orientation: Seemingly Heterosexual*Has a weakness for asserting his dominance over feminine men.
Skills: Scroll techniques, Battle tactics, strong core-strong mind, calligraphy, meditation, chi manipulation, hand to hand combat, Shi Ba Ban Wu Yi (expertise of using 18 kinds of weapons; prefers long pointy things)
Abilities: He can control his own chi through use of lifelong practice and his scroll techniques that he can manifest it outside his body. Each scroll that he has learnt give him a special ability associated with that particular scroll. Some are elemental, while others simply raise a stat temporarily. For more info see Scrolls. The manifestation often takes on the shape of the scroll type being used. Most often dragon shaped and colored like the element being conjured. He no longer requires the scroll on his person to see these abilities; however having the scroll on hand will increase it's strength. Others will of course need the scroll to manifest the same outcome.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral. Caring about himself firstly and his created Dynasty and works
Personality: Cordial towards other free people of status. He can be pleasant and very generous if his ego is stroked or the mood finds him. He enjoys throwing his wealth around. However he doesn't tolerant questioning and he is hard of trusting others. Trust that might be gained overtime is easily broken..and once lost it is hardly recoverable. Towards slaves and lessers he rules with a heavy hand but not without a sense of some compassion if he feels the party has deserved his show of mercy. Disobedience will be handled swiftly and he is all for public execution or ruling by way of fear and example. Otherwise he is solemn, observant, reserved for the most part but will pursue things of his interest with a raging passion and frightening persistence.
