On first glance, Wu, as he likes to be called, is nothing more than your average angsty teenager. Despite his attitude, he’s grateful, and lucky, that he’s going to school on scholarship for Beastpeople, the first one in his family to do so.

‘Course, that’s if you don’t look at the scarred nubs of horns from when they were cut off when he was six. Or the little bag of state-mandated Animal Suppression pills he “forgets” to bring with him when he’s out. Or the late nights he hides from his mother, spent vandalizing the homes and businesses of the most beast-man discriminatory places, all in the name of justice.

</details>### Backstory

---

Around twenty years ago, his mother, a well-known beastpeople advocate, had peacefully pushed for suffrage, for legal protection, for equality for beast people, supported by her then-husband, a beast person himself. She did this, until violent crackdown came from the government, and she desperately fell into line to protect the rest of her family- her son, Jonathan Wu. Despite doing all the procedures, letting him be tattooed with the mandated barcode, she had never quite let go of her ambitions. So she taught him all she knew.

“You could have been a king.” She’d told him softly. He took it to heart.

Unlike his mother, he scorns the peaceful protest. Where did it get them? It got beast people tracked like animals. It restricted education, his scholarship nothing more than a series of favors his uncle had pulled. It relegated them to a single area within any given state, made it impossible for them to get jobs, real jobs that allowed them to not count pennies for their food.

 He’s a dragon. If violence is what you expect of him, that is exactly what you will get. If violence is what’s needed to make the world change, that’s exactly what he will do.

### Personality

---

Wu’s always believed in “Do unto others, as you had unto others”. He’s grown up in the community of beast people, playing basketball with them, being fed for, and cared for by and as one of them. So when his people are mistreated, he sees no reason to treat those bigots with any respect. He’s rough, tough, and rude to anyone that’s trying to hold back his personality, his background, his identity as a beastpeople, but he tries so hard to be good to the average person. You’re innocent before you’re guilty, he thinks, and most people are fundamentally good. But he’s also a teenager, and quick to judge. Two sides of the same coin in the end.

### Abilities

---

##### The Eastern Storm Dragon

When he’s strongly emotional, his dragon parts begin popping out. When all the parts are out, he's a (relatively) huge Eastern Dragon, long and coiled like a snake, with the ability to float through the air, although he can't fly.

##### Escape Artist

Years of running from the police really does things for one’s parkour and stealth abilities, and the ability to get away without getting in trouble. Additionally, he's scrappy. Getting into scrapes has made him unfortunately sturdy. To his credit, he’s never gotten arrested.

### Strengths

---

##### Draconic Strength

Covered in thick, piercing/impact-proof scales, when fully transformed, he’s about 15 feet tall, and very long. He’s not afraid to fight with his body, believing himself to be nearly invincible in dragon-form. It’s big. It’s toothy. It can spew boiling water and spark powerful electricity. What else do you want from a dragon?

##### Decisiveness

While they're not always the best decisions, Wu is great at making decisions on the fly, with little to draw off of. He can, indeed, commit to the bit- whether the bit is a fight (looking at you, X-tournament), or the commitment to help someone find their lost token. Either would work.

### Weaknesses

---

##### Draconic Ignorance

Despite his habit of transforming just for fun, he’s also unaware of its weaknesses, which include gaps between the scales that are very stab-able, his sensitive horn-nubs and face, and stunted body that lacks endurance, caused by his horn surgery affecting his body permanently. Plus, the more unstable his emotions are, the more unsteady and unequal the transition- he might just have one dragon leg the more conflicted he is, or half just his face transform, leaving him grotesque and nearly immobile.

##### Literally a Teenager

Wu has the decision-making and judgement abilties of a teenager- which is to say he's got pretty sound common sense, but he's missing the experience to really judge what the correct action is. Plus, it's difficult to take him seriously- seeing as most of the other competitiors are adults, to young adults, he's definitely one of the youngest in the crowd. Not a lot of authority, if he needs or wants anything to happen.
