| “ | The last 500 years has seen what a hundred different states was originally consolidate into the seven that stand today. You could say that given that trend, unification into one single nation is the answer that our history seeks. Of course, I am fully aware that you also have your own reasons for fighting. And it is because both of us remain unbending in our convictions...that we stand here now on a battlefield, to settle with Might what words alone cannot. | „ |

| “ | I must be the one to slay the Great General of Wei, Earl Shi of the Spear with my own hands, and take Chou You in the name of Qin!! As well everything else that comes after...I don't have the time to spare a retreat. Cheap victories from pissant battles are not enough. If I do not continue to achieve Great victories one after another...Then I will never become a Great General whose name is etched into China's History!! | „ |

Appearance[]
Keeping his long hair tied in place by a gray hairband, Ou Hon wears full body armor that is quite similar to that of the other soldiers. His front armor has the design of the head of a dragon while his metal shoulder pads carry the motif of a phoenix on them.
Personality[]
A no-nonsense and serious person by nature, Ou Hon takes pride in being a commander in the army, bordering on arrogance. He possesses a deep desire to become a Great General of Heavens and expresses it as his duty and obligation as the heir of the Ou Family. Being the successor to the Ou Family, Ou Hon cuts himself no slack as he attempts to practice with his spear. This resolve started from a young age when he practiced and trained tirelessly despite being naturally gifted.
Biography[]
Born into the main branch of the wealthy and prestigious, Ou Family as the son of the current head Ou Sen, a talented general and Shu Kei, a beautiful noblewoman. Ou Hon's birth would be one of slight controversy as unsavory rumors calmed that he was not his father's real son. Whether these rumors are true or not is currently unknown as his mother would unfortunately die during childbirth from massive blood loss.
Ou Hon would later be raised in the main estate of the family and was looked after by Ban You, an old aide of the family, who taught him the arts of the military, martial arts, strategical planning and tactical theories. The old soldier would later go on to become a close confidant and a father figure to the young noble.
Around the ages of 9 or 10 when he first started taking up the spear, in a rare occurrence, his father Ou Sen showed and told him that the basics started from the center of his right half. Probably doing it on a whim, to Ou Hon it was of the first time he saw his powerful father interact and exchange words with him. It was on that day forward that Ou Hon's training truly began as he would relentlessly train even when the weather was harsh, and he is palms were sore or bled.
Years later and now in his teens, Ou Hon would enter the Qin military as a 100-man commander and at one point during this period, he would meet his future friend/rival and fellow 100-man commander Mou Ten.
