Houyi
In the beginning of Chinese myth, there were ten three legged birds called the Sun birds, Children of Dijun, God of the Eastern Heaven. Each day, one of the birds would travel across the sky. But the birds grew tired of the routine and decided that they would all rise at the same time. The earth became so hot that the crops shriveled, lakes dried up and all animals fled or died. Dijun sent for Houyi, the God of Archery to discipline his children. Desperate to save the planet, Houyi killed nine of the ten birds but was forced to spare the tenth by order of the Emperor but Dijun was angry at the death of his children. Houyi was made mortal and was forced out of the Gods Realm. He was fine as he was able to become a hero to humanity by taming the Wind Fei Lian, the water of rivers, and slaying demons. Until his loving wife was made immortal without him. He became angry and started to be a tyrant. He was killed by his best student killed him over a loss at an archery contest. Following his death the gods in a combination of spite and pity made him into the sun along with the last of the sun birds. Meaning that he will forever be in the sky with his wife in the moon but the two will never meet except during an eclipse.
In terms of fighting, he is an archer. Nothing more and nothing less. His only skill in a fight is how to fire a bow and that is what he is best at. And the greatest weakness of all archers is for an enemy to get too close for a bow to be used. To get around this Huayi has created a form of acrobatic combat to compensate for his lack of hand-to-hand combat skills that will prevent him from ever being cornered even when by logic he should. In terms of personality, he has both trust and abandonment issues from his wife and his students. He doesn't want others to get close either emotionally or physically because he has suffered so much loss in his life but when someone does, Houyi will become paranoid of losing that individual. This could lead to being extra vigilant when protecting them, particularly if that person is his master, but also paranoid that anyone is about to attack.
Wish: would be merely to be able to spend one day a year with his wife rather than only during a solar eclipse.

Noble Phantasm
Xehe: the arrow to kill light
EX
anti-god
Max target: 9
Range: 10,000
the technique that Houyi used to kill the sun-birds themselves. Since he was banished from heaven and lost the status of a god, the power of the attack has been reduced. The power of Xehe is based around light. The more light in a particular area, the more powerful the arrow shot. When put up against the likes of the light of the Sun birds or in the light of day, that power is able to slay even the gods and overcome any defense.
The idea for this Noble Phantasm almost that of a counter-Noble Phantasm. Should he fire it like a regular one at night and against an opponent, it would do little more damage then one of his normal arrows. However, should it be fired the instant after King Arthur's Excalibur, the vast quantities of light that the holy blade produces in the beam would allow Xehe to not only overpower the blast, but also burst through Arthur so that the recuperative abilities of Avalon would have nothing to restore. It is in essence a Noble Phantasm that is able to defeat the strongest of servants but would be absolutely useless against such thinks like Assassins which rely on shadows and Casters, the physically weakest of all servant classes.
Fei Lian: Catching the Wind
C
Max target: 10
Range: 200
anti-infantry
Fei Lian is the count of Winds who was using his power to tear down houses and destroyed crops of China as a one-eyed bull. To catch him, Houyi used his superb accuracy to shoot out Fei Lian's knee. This targets an opponents knee to injure and cut the agility of the target in half. These particular arrows are not made out of solid material but rather the very air that touched the bow string. As such only those with arrow protection of C+ or high can defend against since they cannot be seen with normal eyes.
Chang'e: lost love
C
Max target: 1
Range: 50
anti-infantry
