» Personality:
Aggressive, Brutish, and Bloodthirsty

To Lu Bu, there is little more than fighting. He will fight anyone and crush anyone who stands in his path. His belief is that might is the one true path, and that the weak are to simply be crushed. Only those with strength deserve the right to live. To him, the only true justice it found on the battlefield. Oddly despite this, he does not go after his own allies, no matter how weak. It is unknown whether he is giving them a chance to grow stronger or simply letting the enemy decide their strength. His foes are usually scared stiff for two major reasons. Any time a blow lands on Lu Bu, Lu Bu doesn't even flinch. There is no reaction to the blade in terms of pain. It is as if Lu Bu doesn't feel pain. No flinching, no screaming, and no expression whatsoever. The sheer immunity causes many to cower in fear. The second reason is if anyone does prove to be a challenge, it only pumps Lu Bu up. A decent battle is his ultimate goal, so the harder it is to defeat an an opponent, the harder and harder he tries to fight. When it seems he might lose, he fights in ways no one ever dreamed possible. It is almost like he gets a strength boost when he is pushed to his limits.

Berserker mindset:

To Lu Bu there is no need for strategy or politics for that matter. All that matters is the battlefield. It may be just as well seeing as he has little skill in both previously stated. When he is in a battle he simply rushes forward to crush those that challenge him. He can be observant at times, but for the most part he does not think when he enters the battlefield. His immunity to pain is shown here as well, as he can take a powerful attack and still charge his opponent like nothing happened.

Desire to Live:

Even though he believes the weak are to be crushed, he himself does not want to die if beaten. If defeated in battle, he will attempt to run away or find some method of escaping. He has no intention of just rolling over and dying. Generally, if he is defeated he will consider it an even match, and actually find the concept rather interesting. As such, if he is defeated he will not only try to survive, but to meet the opponent again in battle. As such, he will fight with all his might to make it out alive.

Loyal?

Lu Bu hates all of those who are weak and hide behind deceit. One person he served who was as such, he only served because of the substantial pay. Even then he grew tired of the "coward" and did away with him. However, should he find one with strength to follow, he will gladly. If his leader is able to fight, hold his own, and actually exert himself then Lu Bu will be a loyal ally. This may be another reason he doesn't slay his own troops, as that would be betraying the person he serves.

Sociable?

Lu Bu isn't one to make many friends. The few he does will always be ones he considers to have might, or be on the path to it. For these few, he can be quite sociable. Spending time relaying stories of the battlefield, or just sharing a good drink. Either way, very few will ever know of this side of Lu Bu.

Rage:

Lu Bu can be sent into a rage rather easily. If someone steals something from him, he will go into a rage. Someone destroys his things, he rages. If someone insults him or his might, he will rage. These rages are quite scary and dangerous for anyone around him. However, some believe he is always in a rage because of his attitude, though that is not the case.

» Likes: The strong, proving his might, fighting, killing, diet pepsi

» Dislikes: The weak, strategy, deceit, Coka-cola

» History

The Beginning

Lu Bu was once a human, born in ancient China. Little is known of his younger years, only his legacy as an adult is known. He was considered the mightiest warriors who ever lived. With nothing but his Halberd and his trusty steed, Red Hare, he traveled the land seeking fights against other strong warriors. His travels turned out to be rather dull, as no one he engaged lasted as much as a minute against him. His might and skill were too much for any warrior.

After growing bored, he decided to make money by serving a lord. This would get him a source of income and increase his chances of fighting a worthy opponent. The first such man he served was a man named Wang Yun. Unfortunately, Lu Bu soon found out Wang Yun was a peaceful man, and did not engage in warfare. However, Lu Bu remained for the money, and continued searching for a worthy foe in the mean time.

This went on for two years without a single challenge. It was at this point a man named Dong Zhuo requested his services. Lu Bu knew about Dong Zhuo, and knew he was a coward who didn't deserve his power or wealth. However, he had little loyalty to Wang Yun, and Dong Zhuo offered enormous pay. In light of day, Lu Bu went up to Wang Yun, and simply slew him. Lu Bu's legacy truly began that day. Wang Yun had an outstandingly large army to defend his people, and they were loyal. The entire army rushed at Lu Bu and attempted to kill him.

That day he slew thousands who stood before him. His goal was to escape from the main keep to the outskirts of town. In his escape he took arrows, swords, and just about a dozen other kinds of weapons to his person, yet he kept on going. He even fell for several fire attacks, but nothing Wang Yun's army could do was enough. Lu Bu, after decimating basically the entire force and several of its commanders and best fighters, began his journey to Dong Zhuo.

Service to the Pig

When Lu Bu arrived at Dong Zhuo's castle, he was greeted warmly. Word of his might had already spread this far, and Dong Zhuo made Lu Bu his personal bodyguard. At the same time, all the fighting Lu Bu went through to join Dong Zhuo instantly earned his trust, which was a mistake in the long run. However, Lu Bu had no shortage of work, seeing as Dong Zhuo was quickly making enemies. Dong Zhuo attempted to Usurp the throne, and thus all power in China. Lu Bu did the dirty work.

Dong Zhuo became powerful rather fast, but soon the entire country was at arms. Everyone not under Dong Zhuo's power wanted him dead. And thus, a large Coalition formed against him. Here was Lu Bu's true war debut, the battle of Hu Lao Gate.

The anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition had been defeated at Si Shui Gate, but then went around and aimed for Hu Lao Gate. Dong Zhuo, not wanting to fail, sent Lu Bu to the front lines. Lu Bu here slaughtered thousands as he warred along the front lines. However, eventually Lu Bu came into combat with a certain man. Though not the mightiest himself, this man held his own for a short while before another entered the fray, this one quite powerful. Lu Bu, however, still beat both of them back with ease. Then a third and final man decided to join, whom was also immensely mighty. Lu Bu was forced to retreat, his first ever defeat. Yet he was intrigued if nothing else.

Hu Lao Gate was lost, but the defense served its purpose to Dong Zhuo. However, the defeated defenders were forced to witness the Capital City, in which Dong Zhuo resided, burned to the ground. Dong Zhuo's forces made for another town, while the coalition was forced to stop and help out the city. Though Lu Bu cared little for the city, he considered this an act of extreme cowardice.

Lu Bu wasn't the only one. Many under Dong Zhuo's command were upset as well. Together, they formed a deal and set their aim to one thing, killing Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu himself went into Dong Zhuo's keep, alone. He slew every one of Dong Zhuo's soldiers that dared stand in his path, and personally cut down the fat pig. Soon, he and those who sided with him left the city, before the rest of Dong Zhuo's forces came.

Rouge Army to Demonification

For a short time, Lu Bu's forces wandered Rouge for awhile, without a home. That is, until Lu Bu decided to capture one. He took the city of Pu Yang, and called it his home for a short time while its owner was at war. However, the owner was not only powerful, but smart. This man, the Hero of Chaos, quickly negotiated a truce with his foe, and marched to take down Lu Bu. Lu Bu's strategist advised against holding up in the city, so instead they broke through the enemy lines and went to the man who was fighting the Hero of Chaos in the first place, Liu Bei.

Liu Bei offered residence for a short while in a small castle, as he went to fight another foe. Lu Bu, liking Liu Bei's castle together, betrayed him and took the castle by surprise. When Liu Bei returned, he was forced to serve Lu Bu, as he had no home. For awhile things went well, but eventually Liu Bei found a chance and escaped to the Hero of Chaos. Soon enough, the combined forces were at Lu Bu's gates.

Lu Bu acted rather odd, he held up inside the castle. He was on edge and punished people for the most minor of reasons, causing his soldier's loyalty to dwindle. Eventually, it was confirmed that a flood attack was planned. Lu Bu's forces had no time to stop it, and water poured in. As soldiers died from the frigid waters, many defected, and opened the gates for the coalition forces. Due to all the factors combined, Lu Bu was defeated by one of the same men who had pressed him at Hu Lao Gate.

His execution was at hand, he sat in extremely durable chains as he waited for it to begin. This the next day after his capture. Then, something strange happened. A strange creature appeared to Lu Bu, and asked him if he wanted to live. Apparently the creature couldn't be seen by most humans, in the area only Lu Bu could. Lu Bu responded of course he wanted to live. Then the creature offered, in exchange for his Humanity, he would be granted immense power, enough to escape this execution. Lu Bu agreed quickly, and this creature explained it was a demon. Using a strange ritual, Lu Bu was transformed. His bodily appearance had not changed, but within, he was a completely different person. He had power far beyond what any normal human could achieve.

He burst out of the chains like they were made of string. Immense power burst forth as he slaughtered all there. No one of importance was present, but still Lu Bu showed no mercy. Once the area was decimated by his sheer strength he recollected his Halberd. His horse however, was injured. The demon told him the transformation was only half complete, and that he could still merge the horse with Lu Bu to keep it. Lu Bu agreed, and as he became a true demon, his horse was sealed within. Now, no one could stop him, yet his quest for a good battle did not change.

Demonic Travels to Present:

His travels as a demon were much like those in life, however now he had the demon world in which to search for a good battle. Within both the Demon World and Earth, he continued to battle strong opponents, and in fact, had more fun than he ever had before. Demon's were much better fighters than humans. He grew stronger, fight after fight, until rapid changes occurred. Soon all races had mighty warriors, and Lu Bu desired to test his strength against all kinds.

It was then that he decided to join Shadow fall. With their goals he knew he would be able to challenge many opponents from all races. He was out to prove he was still one of the mightiest warriors in the land. Whether or not his Legend would rebuild, is yet to be seen.

» Natural Abilities:
Immense Strength: Even in his days long past as a human, Lu Bu had been known for is unmatched strength. As a Demon his power became something more to be feared. When he punches, he can make entire structures crumble to pieces. It is to the point that smaller objects just seemingly disintegrate if he was to punch them, and this is without putting in his full force. Weaker foes would risk being blown back for extremely long distances. Even more is most of this strength is completely natural, he could still deliver devastating punches if somehow cut off from his power. The danger is multiplies further should he wield his Halberd, the Sky Scorcher. Simply smashing this thing into the ground could leave an enormous crater and can even send out a few shock waves.

Dark Lightning: This isn't so much of an attack as a passive trait. With Lu Bu at such great power, his strikes usually have both his physical and spiritual aspects behind them. As such on some strikes, a wave of red electricity may be released. Though nowhere near as powerful as the strike itself, due to Lu Bu's average Za Koa and non-existant demon magic, it can still add an extra element of damage. It can range from a small extra blast of energy in a punch, to him slamming the ground and unleashing a small shock wave of energy and electricity around the impact zone, though the shock-wave would be small.

Akuma Kyōdo: As he completely ignored Demon magic in its entirety, the energy in his body focused in other areas. One such is developing a rather strong Akuma Kyōdo. This is a quite common demon trait, but Lu Bu's is definitely on its way to the formidable side.. Some people even wonder if Lu Bu is even kill-able when this is combined with his complete ignorance of pain. It is perhaps due to his lack on using his demonic energy on anything else that causes this to be at such a high level of strength.

Immense Energy Reserves: It is no secret that Lu Bu has been in thousands of battles throughout his life. This fact has given him massive stamina. He can fight for a long time before he runs out of energy or his muscles tire. This means that if one's body isn't built for the long haul, they would be in trouble if they didn't injure Lu Bu as quickly as possible. If they begin to tire too soon, their best chance may be to run seeing as Lu Bu isn't the fastest.

Red Hare: Upon becoming a demon, his horse was fused into his body to be used whenever summoned upon. Red Hare is one of the fastest Horses known to mankind. This is much faster than Lu Bu's running speed. It doesn't take much energy to summon the horse from his body, and even should it be somehow injured it would simply retract. It isn't connected to him when he rides it though, as it forms next to him. However, due to a long period of disuse at one point, the horse refuses to come out in any instance where combat is likely, due to fear. If something is seen that may start a battle, the horse will retract into the body. It even perceives fleeing enemies as a threat, and will refuse to come out. As such, it cannot be used in combat, to escape combat, or to pursue a fleeing enemy.
