A Twist in Time

Disclaimer:

First of all, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us in our first and original story. However, we have to break the news to everyone. We will not be accepting any more characters. We're really sorry, but those stories aren't allowed on FFN. But if we had accepted someone earlier, we still will keep that person in.

We do not, in any way, own the characters of Dynasty Warriors. *sigh* If only... And if we HAD, Kimi would have stolen Lu Xun long ago and Natsue Zhao Yun. Okay, moving away from personal information.

We do, however, own the Chen Kingdom, the Xue twins, An Yu and Shan Lan. A bio about each of them will be posted below later. Okay, now that we got that clear and settled... (And I also might add that this disclaimer is for all of our other chapters.)

A Twist in Time will eventually follow up to the true Wei Kingdom victory, so if you've got a problem with that, too bad. The only difference will be in the added new kingdom and some characters.

Name: Jian Xin ("Jian"-"sword"; "Xin"-"heart")
Gender: Male
Clothes: Jian Xin wears a variation of dark colors. He usually wears a black long sleeved silk shirt, which is embroidered with golden dragons. He wears slightly baggy black pants and wears some chest armor. He also wears a dark blue cape.
Headwear: None. Jian Xin considers the traditional headwear reserved for royalty/too gaudy. He is a man of simplicity.
Hair: Low ponytail with slightly long bangs that obscures his eyes. He has dark brown hair that reaches his mid-back.
Eyes: Matching brown eyes that are slightly narrow.
Weapon: Jian Xin is skilled with the Seven Section Chain, which stretches over seven feet. It is black in color and is silver at the ends. Jian Xin also carries a sword, and is one of those leaders who enjoys fighting, instead of sitting back and watching his people die for him.
Face: Jian Xin has a slightly tan face that shows most emotions, though it still can portray strict authority as well as false emotions. He also has a scar sliding down his left cheek.
Kingdom: He is the young leader of Chen, and founded the kingdom since he believes that the other three kingdoms hold too much power over the people, and he wants to protect the weak.
Origins: Jian Xin is actually a foreigner from a rich city just outside the Chinese border. His family was well known, and gave out their money eagerly to the poor. However, others there weren't as nice, and Jian Xin's family was scorned for their kindness to others, and soon after, his family was assassinated. For this reason, Jian Xin has devoted his life to equality between people.
Personality: A caring leader, Jian Xin has a great sense of integrity. He doesn't like his opponents to have disadvantages (especially in a duel). He has one of those "get to know everyone" between himself and his people. His only flaw in his kind personality is that he is too trusting.
Position: Leader

Name: Xue Hua ("Xue"--"snow"; "Hua"--"flower")
Gender: Female
Clothes: Xue Hua wears mainly white and light blue. Her battle outfit would be a simple shirt (no patterns, pictures, decorations, or sequining) with long, slightly baggy sleeves, a wrap-around skirt that cuts off at the knees, and medium heel-less boots for running and quick movement.
Headwear: A thin light blue headband with small designs in dark blue.
Hair: Dark blue (nearly black, but not quite). Length: Shoulder length.
Eyes: Light Cheery Blue
Weapon: Tiger Head Hook Swords (Swords with a hooked tip and another blade near the handle)
Face: Pale face (she's not called Xue for nothing!), frosty pink lips, and large curious eyes.
Kingdom: Chen. After wandering with her brother for several years, trying to survive, they ran into Jian Xin. Chen at the time was just a village militia. The twins were allowed to stay for the night, but the next morning, were found in the weaponry/armory room where they were 'playing' with the weapons. Jian Xin, recognizing their skills in fighting, requested their stay.
Origins: Xue Hua is the younger of the Xue twins. The Xue twins grew up with a warm loving family and didn't ever even think about anything close to violence. But this was all to change during the winter of their 12th birthday. One dark stormy night during that winter, a group of bandits attacked and killed their parents and younger sister. The two of them managed to escape unscathed, but at a terrible price for by the time the rogues had left, their farm had been burned down and the bodies of their family were gone.
Personality: Usually carefree, Xue Hua's cheerful exterior masks almost everything that she feels other than joy. Only her brother can tell when she's truly happy and when it's just a facade. Seemingly extroverted, Xue Hua loves to talk and socialize, making her the exact opposite of Xue Shan (her twin brother). Preferring to fight than to negotiate, Xue Hua has the tendency to charge straight into battle, only to be dragged back fighting, kicking, and screaming by her brother. Though she seems to be stronger than her twin, she is very immature and is rather naive and slow to the things of the heart.
Position: Officer

Name: Xue Shan ("Xue"--"snow"; "Shan"--"mountain")
Gender: Male
Clothes: Xue Shan wears mainly dark blue. His battle outfit mainly consists of a dark blue sleeveless shirt, loose dark blue pants, and light shoes for quiet missions and quick movement. He also wears dark blue wristbands that have silver patterning.
Headwear: A thin dark blue headband with small designs in light blue.
Hair: Dark blue (nearly black, but not quite). Chin length.
Eyes: Dark Stormy Blue Gray
Weapon: Kwan Dao/Kuan Dao (similar to the spear except the blade larger with a curved tip)
Face: Calm and usually serene (that is unless you attack his loved ones)
Kingdom: Chen. See Xue Hua's profile.
Origins: See Xue Hua's profile.
Personality: The quieter and shyer of the twins, Xue Shan is extremely introverted. Preferring music to talk, he is often found sitting on a tree with his flute, which was given to him by his late father. Though sometimes he is quiet to the point of arrogance, Xue Shan is in fact a very sweet boy and wants nothing, but to live with his loved ones in peace. Because of his gentle nature, he seems to be the weaker of the twins, but what he doesn't have in strength, he makes up in brains for he is one of the most brilliant of strategists in Chen.
Position: Strategist

Name: Shan Lan ("Shan"-"mountain"; "Lan"-"orchid")
Gender: Female
Clothes: Shan Lan wears a traditional Qi Pao that comes just above her knees with short slits up the sides. It also has medium bell sleeves. It's white above the neckline, along the arms, and upper back, but below the neckline and the lower back is red. It's also lined with gold at the sleeves, wherever the white meets red, as well as the bottom of the tunic. She also wears light shoes (for light, quick movement) that are red with gold lining.
Headwear: Nothing; her hair's in a long braid.
Hair: It's black, but looks dark indigo sometimes in different kinds of light. It's about two shades darker than her eyes. The length of her hair is waist-length.
Eyes: Black with a little bit of a blue tint.
Weapon: Shan Lan uses three weapons; the Chinese Rope Javelin and Double Sai. The blade of her rope javelin is silver with a length of nearly 8" and has a red tassel attached to the base. The javelin point isn't too light nor too heavy and very good for use while running. The rope length is approximately 16 ft, making it a wide range weapon. For close combat, she uses Double Sai; they're also silver with black handles and light, for quick movement.
Face: Shan Lan has a pale complexion with no scars and relatively large eyes (not frighteningly huge though). She usually has serious or solemn expressions and hardly ever smiles.
Kingdom: Chen. Shan Lan had been hired in a neighboring village to take care of some miscreants when Jian Xin stopped by to recruit officers for the kingdom of Chen. At first, Shan Lan merely brushed off the 'advertisement' and continued with her job, but just as she finished off the ruffians she noticed Jian Xin watching her. He asked her to join the new kingdom and after much persuasion, she accepted.
Origins: Shan Lan was born into a poor family where money was very hard to come by. She lived with only her father since her mom had died giving birth to her. She is very able and hardworking and often traveled far from her hometown to work and make money. Because of this, she is very straightforward and doesn't tolerate laziness from her sub-officers. She also despises the fact that the strong oppress the weak.
Personality: Shan Lan is slightly snappish on the surface, but beneath the cold exterior lies a lost soul who just wants to live in peace. She doesn't believe in friendships and doesn't like getting close to any of her fellow offices/sub-officers.
Position: Officer

Name: An Yu ("An"-dark; "Yu"-"jade")
Gender: Female
Clothes: Loose black sleeveless silk shirt and black form fitting pants. Black wrist bands with strips of it going up her fore arms. Black leather belt with silver markings that holds her darts and other weapons.
Headwear: Black cloth headband.
Hair: Jet-black, shoulder length
Eyes: Slim, blue gray eyes that hide emotion.
Weapon: An Yu uses a variation of six point Shurikens invented by herself; Ninja Throwing Stars attached to a 5 foot long metal chain, made light and easy to use while moving. Her aim with the Shurikens is nearly perfect, so she usually never needs to use her other weapons - darts and two Butterfly Knives.
Face: Piercing eyes and a pale, masked, and yet fair face.
Kingdom: None. An Yu has her own troops of soldiers and officers, but has no kingdom name. Her only goal is to destroy all others that stand in her path.
Origins: An Yu's background is at first unknown. She has amnesia and remembers nothing of her own past, even her name. She was found lying in a small bamboo clearing near the kingdom of Shu, unconscious and bleeding internally. By the time she came to, she had no memory of herself. By helping the homeless and unaided, she received many powerful allies. Sly, clever, and smart, she is a valuable spy and powerful leader. Supporters called her "An Yu", since she is a rare a valuable person to meet, and reminds nearly everyone of jade. And yet she is also dark and though kind to her people, she may sometimes become distant, trying in vain to remember her past.
Personality: At first glance, An Yu is a crafty and untrustworthy girl. Her confident and sometimes cold, thin-lipped smile is the only thing that can block the true emotions on her face. She has a strange love for both war and life, and will eagerly charge to fight and just as quickly retreat if most of her people are wounded or dying.
Position: Leader/Strategist

Well, there you have it! Those are some of the characters that we have made. We have more, but you'll see them later.

Once again, thanks for the support!

R&R!
