Biography: Zhao Zilong. A foreigner to the lands of China, and a samurai of Japan. Several years ago, he was sent to China on an expedition as aid to the forces of Wu from Lord Nobunaga. When he first arrived, he tended to avoid direct conversation, and was often in the background of the area, operating from behind the strings. He recently became a member of the Zhou family after becoming good friends and a step brother to Zhou Xin. Zilong then decided, in the name of Nobunaga Oda, that he would serve Wu to his fullest capabilities. He recently discovered that a cousin of his, Zan Xi, was here in China, and he now sets off, searching for him. In order to do this, he had to break his ties with Wu. Doing so, a bounty was placed on his head, and he saw the true treachorous ways of Wu. He took comfort within a small village, which was soon invaded by the Yellow Turbans. Zilong fought them off to the best of his extent, but failed to save the village. He retreated to the safety of a man who goes by Liu Feng. This man told him of the ways of the Han Dynasty, and brought a renewed sense of confidence to the young man. Shirosagi decided he'd fight alone, both in search of his cousin, and to help bring order to the land of China. He fights only to restore the Han Dynasty, making everyone his enemy. Gathering a group of rogue warriors, Zilong created his own guild, all aiming to achieve the same goal. Restoring the Han Dynasty.
However, to his dismay, his time beneath the Han Dynasty did not fit his tastes, and he soon created his own kingdom. The kingdom of Yingzi. He intends to rise to the top and unify China and Japan as one large, yet seperated, country. He slowly arose in the ranks of the Han army, turning Imperial soldiers to his side, convincing them one after another, that the Han had met its end. It was during this time that he met a disciple of Zuo Ci who turned him from his ways of evil. The two clashed on the battlefield ofte, their blades clashing with fierocity and anger. Out of a total of several skirmishes, Zilong won six of them, however, his opponent managed to win one. Using a flood attack, he broke into Zilong's castle and wiped his entire army out with a simply blow. This dealt a crippling blow to Ashikage, who soon saw that he was not fit to run a kingdom. He drifted from land to land before finally coming across a group of bandits. These bandits were robbing innocents and killing children just because they could. Summoning the last of his pride, Zilong rallied the peasents, and led them to victory, fending off against the disgusting bandits. He then chose to join the kingdom of Wu, all in a final attempt to right his wrongs. He rose through the ranks, protecting the land of Wu from the harm of any who wished for foul deeds to consume the land once more.
His time in Wu led him to the rank of strategist, as he was one of the best tacticians known to the great Wu kingdom. He was offered a chance to lead the famously known kingdom, but after his emberassing defeat, Zilong could not look to doing such a thing. He managed to fend off against the opposing forces, helping reclaim any land the Wu had lost, and he even pulled off a few tactics that brought fear to the Yuan family who assumed that Zhou Yu's sons were back at the reigns of Wu. He pushed his higher ups to let him join the battlefield once more, and they agreed, ranking him as the Right Flank General. With such a prestigious honor, he carried out all strategies and fought bravely against those who seeked to ravage and defile the land of Wu. Zilong's skills grew quite slowly, and he soon gave himself a title he felt he deserved, and even changed his name. However, his title soon became that similiar to the famous Pang Tong, the 'Blossoming Phoenix".
He served the Wu Kingdom only for three years before Wei convinced him to work for them. They spoke of knowing the exact position of his cousin, Zan Xi, but by the time he arrived to search for his family member, the man was long gone. He had no choice but to continue to serve Wei, his ideals not matching theirs, but his resolve to end the war and find Zan Xi was all the same with theirs. He became the Left Flank General in a year, for his strategic ability was known all throughout the kingdom, and soon, his ambition began to mold into the form that Wei wanted it too. He also advised his lord to declare war on Shu, just to show them that the kingdom meant business. A cruel strategist, Zilong spared noone... and he proved that when he clashed with his former allies of Wu. He created fire attacks and rock slides, crushing them easily, and despite the screams of his former brothers, he struck them down one by one, their blood soon becoming his paint on the battlefield. Despite the screams of his former allies, he continued to wipe out the mass forces, all in the hope of their being a land united under the banner of Wei.
