Respect Honored One Ku Ye (Feng Shen Ji)

A fragile heart needs something to rely on...it matters not whether it is the Gods or the White Creed. They simply have to believe in something in order to live

#KU YE

---

##BACKGROUND

Honored One Ku Ye is a citizen of Wan Qu who was born practically perfect; he never wanted for anything in life and was gifted from birth the power over the most destructive force in Phantom Island: Smelting Aura of Flame. Naturally gifted and talented, Ku Ye found himself fighting alongside Bai Yu and his other brothers to confront the Nothingness and save the world of Phantom Island from oblivion until coming into conflict with Ah Gou and the Dark Ones.

##BIO

Ku Ye is a very haughty combatant, viewing other beings as innately inferior for what can be presumed to be racially prejudiced reasons. Like most Honored Ones, he is quick to don his Battle Armor should he take the slightest bit of damage and be pressed at all; whilst he utilizes his superior physicals and Smelting Aura of Flame even in base form to fend off attackers, in his Battle Armor he will empower his arm blades with flame to slice them apart and incinerate them entirely for daring to oppose him.

##TERMS

• Smelting Aura: Smelting Aura is the very air and essence of Phantom Island, and can be channeled into various forms. Highly mastered persons can turn it into complex items, increasing density, size, and power with more practice. Honored Ones such as Ku Ye are made of Smelting Aura, and as such are superior all-around in physicals.

• Phantom Island/Wan Qu: Wan Qu is the proper name for Phantom Island, a realm different from Earth that is its mirror for all intents and purposes. Phantom Island creates Smelting Aura, and births citizens such as Ku Ye at seeming random. Citizens of Wan Qu rarely show emotion, and indeed deem emotions in general as unecessary, making them rational (if sometimes naive) fighters.

• Battle Armor: By summoning excess Smelting Aura into their bodies, citizens of Phantom Island can use the Secret of Heavenly Cloth to forge a set of armor around themselves, further enhancing their physicals in most instances, with unique armors existing to perform a variety of feats.

##PHYSICALS

###STRENGTH

• Forces SiWang to hold back a blow with Vicious Whip

• Tanks a kick to the abdomen from SiWang; here is SiWang's RT to get a feel for his strength level

###DURABILITY

• No-sells SiWang's Vicious Whip in Spiritized form

• Continues to take zero damage from SiWang in Spiritized form

###SPEED

• Generally scales to around SiWang's level, see his RT above for reference

###SMELTING AURA OF FLAME

• Can utilize his smelting aura from a range to incinerate foes; of note is that this seemingly harmed SiWang, regardless of Dark Ones possessing goddamn insane fire resistance feats (note: hellfire in the FSJ-verse is stated to be hot enough to ash a human on contact)

• Creates a wall of Flame Orbs to deflect blows

##BATTLE ARMOR FIRESTORM

As with all Battle Armors, Ku Ye experiences a dramatic increase in physical offense when equipping his armor, notably gaining two flaming arm blades and more powerful flames

###DURABILITY

• Is slammed to the ground and takes minimal damage

• Easily tanks a punch from SiWang

• Blocks SiWang's Limit Break with a two-armed guard

• Is overcome by the damage of SiWang's Limit Break temporarily yet retains a calm perspective

• Willingly tanks a hit form SiWang's Limit Break in order to create an opening, showcasing immense pain tolerance due to the nature of SiWang's Soul Gear as showcased in his RT

• Is felled by SiWang's Cross Rend

###SMELTING AURA/BLADE OF FIRESTORM

• Pierces into SiWang's side and slices open his torso

• Easily slices through SiWang with many rapid strikes

• Dual Flame Strike - Placing both blades one over the other, Ku Ye removes an opponent's limb

• Blazing Firestorm - After using Dual Flame Strike, Ku Ye follows up by impaling his target center mass and injecting their body with enormous amounts of Smelting Aura Flame that burst forth from his opponent; these flames temporarily knocked SiWang off his feet and kept him down for a few seconds

• Repeatedly stabs through SiWang and causes him to actually feel pain

• Can freely channel Smelting Aura Flame through his blades at will
