Hong Xuiquan

From 1814 – 1863. From an impoverished Hakka farming family in southern China. He rejected the statuesque and cared more about education. However he failed to pass the civil service exam of china five times that would allow him to enter service for the government. Eventually he met with Christian missionaries of Europe who would shape his future. He didn't care about the religion at first but he had dreams and visions of Confucius being declared a demon. Hong Xuiquan believed these meant that he was to rid the world of those who didn't believe in the Caanon God. Forgoing the exam he became a local teacher. Xuiquan believed that he, like Jesus, was a son of God and meant to convert the world to the Christian faith by toppling the Chinese government based on Confucius and Buddhist principles. The poor and minorities quickly converted to his ideas as they promised them a better life and new opportunities that the suffocating system of China did not allow. His two most devoted followers with Hong Rengan and Feng Yunshan. His people were called the God Worshippers and when the local government tried to suppress it the passion grew while Western missionaries were jealous of his success and fearful of the creation of his own sect. With tens of thousands of followers the government sent troops to end him but failed and federal officials were killed, allowing Hong to create a nation call the Heavenly Kingdom of Transcendent Peace and began the Taiping Rebellion. He was successful even against the main army of China. Social reforms allowed for ambition and development while keeping loyalty. The Kingdom and rebellion lasted for over 12 years before it was finally put down by the Qing government. Rather than accepting defeat he killed himself.

He is more interested in violence then conversion and wants to recreate his Heavenly Kingdom through violent means. While he was successful he is also single minded and bat shit crazy.

Class Skill

Mad Enhancement

D

A sort of insanity that robs the him of reason while boosting their basic parameters. At this level, one can still speak but mental abilities are limited. Bonuses to all physical stats.

Personal Skills

Charisma

D++

The ability to motivate and charm people and lead armies. At this rank, a person can get fanatical devotion from any and all followers, but at the same time the servant will never be recognized as a "great leader" in history; at best the will be considered revolutionaries or cult leaders with a large following.

Revelation

B

A skill to reveal (intermittently and never intentionally) the right path to take in any situation. Though Mad Enhancement normally would seal such a skill, Hong can utilize it as a result of his extreme faith. However, the likelihood that his revelations will be believed or even understood are decreased.

Protection of the Faith

A+++

Divine guardianship gained from strong confidence in one's religious beliefs. Having an especially high rant, though, may lead to one having a distorted personality.

Divinity

D

Hong proclaimed himself the son of a god, and while there is no evidence of this, many people still believed him, though out of their shared zeal.

Noble Phantasm

Guangix: Demon Slaying swords

Rank: D+

Type: anti-unit

Max Target: 1

Range: 3

Twin swords, three feet in length and sharpened to a point little large the a piece of paper. They were forged by Hong Xuiquan's religious order to defeat "demons" that plagued the world. In his reasoning, "demons" were actually gods and philosophers worshipped by the Chinese population, with Buddha and Confucius being particularly hated. They are powerful by the mere virtue of being very well made and enchanted to permanently wound non-Christain idols and divine figures. Anyone with a rank in Divinity will suffer from injuries that cannot be healed. However due to Hong's distorted view of the world real demons are unaffected by them.

God Worshippers: The Tapping Heavenly Kingdom

Rank: A+

Type: Anti-army

Max Target: 50

Range: 25

The Taiping Rebellion ended with the deaths of tens of millions of people making it one of the bloodiest in history and larger even then the Napoleonic wars. Representing the destruction and bloodshed of the rebellion, as well as the immense hatred towards traditional Confucian ideals allows Hong to be at full power. Multi-colored flames burn through the air around Hong and encircle the battlefield and Mad Enhancement is increased to A. Any divine or mystical protection is stripped of Hong's opponents even if an enemy is far more skilled then he is allowing him to fight on the same level as his opponent. The circle of fire is inescapable thus the only way out is to defeat Hong or until he is unable to maintain it any longer. The flames can also lash out at random intervals and burn anyone who it too near in 'holy' fire. Theoretically, a command seal could force him to disengage it but that is yet to be tested.

Notes: I couldn't find anything about what Hong Xiuquan would like or dislike and because I lack an accurate understanding of Chinese culture during that particular time I am forgoing the talents, likes and dislikes. While he could be denoted as a Saber, from what I understand his religious fervor was so great he had trouble seeing beyond it.
