CHARACTER INFO
Sep. 3rd, 2021 02:38 pmWHATS THIS GUYS DEAL?: Luo Binghe is the protagonist of trashy male power fantasy harem webnovel PROUD IMMORTAL DEMON WAY, in which the original version of the character came up through great misery and hardship to become a grimdark half-demon antihero with over 600 wives and countless slaughtered enemies. This version of Luo Binghe is from a version of the story where a pedantic little nerd got isekaied into Shen Qingqiu, the character who was supposed to be Luo Binghe's cruel teacher, and proceeded to be very nice to him instead of abusing him horribly but still had to push him into a hell dimension because the plot demanded it. As a result of this Luo Binghe is super fucked up and doesn't trust anyone, and also completely obsessed with Shen Qingqiu. Problematic of him!
APPEARANCE: Luo Binghe is half demon but he looks like a normal human. Most of the art in his icons shows a forehead sigil that's not usually visible unless he's using his ~demon powers~ (same goes for the red eyes). The pointy ears in some of them are artistic license! The fictional author who created him designed him to be "appealing to women", because he felt he needed to justify how 600 women would fall for him, so he has a kind of nonthreateningly handsome boy band appearance. He's 188cm/6'2" tall and about 20 years old.
POWERS: In his natural habitat Luo Binghe is blessed by being the protagonist of the novel whose world he exists in, where his innate plot armour makes him impossible to kill or best in combat. This obviously does not apply outside that setting, but he is still pretty OP. Luo Binghe is a half-demon half-human hybrid, descended from Heavenly Demons, the most powerful of all demons, and has a background in spiritual cultivation. Consequently:
- He is very proficient in your typical righteous sword cultivator stuff, eg. flying on your magic sword, generating energy blasts, drawing spiritual energy from your surroundings so you don't have to eat or sleep, superhuman feats of strength, endurance and agility, etc.
- In addition to the golden core that provides his spiritual energy, his body also runs on demonic energy; which does most of the same stuff but ~Dark. Essentially this just means he has two sources of Having Powers which can compensate for one another, and might affect or be affected by the environment in different ways, but also may negatively affect his health when they're out of balance. Because of the extremely gratuitous nature of the novel he comes from, the resulting qi deviations can have Fun Effects like physical age regression instead of just making him go feral (that sometimes also happens though).
- Having studied extensively under the Dream Demon, Luo Binghe has dream powers that allow him to affect both his own dreams and those of others. He can control the environment of his own dreams, draw other people into them, enter the dreams of others, and induce specific dreams in other people, including multiple other people at once. (They do have to already be asleep, though, he can't control that.)
- As a Heavenly Demon, his blood has supernatural properties. If someone consumes his blood, it remains in their body indefinitely, and he is able to use it to sense their location, manipulate their limbs, induce physical pain, and heal injuries.
- He heals extremely quickly, but he is also able to control this to some extent in order to inhibit the healing of an injury he wants to keep -- he has a scar on his chest that he has kept deliberately.
