Chen, Changsheng

陈长生

History:
Chen Changsheng was discovered as an infant by Daoist Ji in the waters flowing from the Cloud Grave. He drifted down the stream on a wooden basin, narrowly escaping being eaten by the mighty Golden Dragon, who had decided to consume the baby Chen Changsheng. Yu Ren saved him at that moment.
From then on, Chen Changsheng became the second disciple of Daoist Ji, growing up in the Xining Temple. Yu Ren became Chen Changsheng's most respected senior, whom he admired greatly. His days in Xining Temple were quiet and peaceful, his waking hours spent reciting the three thousand scriptures of the Daoist canon, memorizing and comprehending them.
At the age of ten, a curious phenomenon arose when Chen Changsheng's body began emitting an irresistible scent that made all existences want to eat him. Yu Ren admits that even he was tempted to eat Chen Changsheng and could only resist because he was a Saint.

Personality:
Chen Changsheng has always been appraised as being calm and collected. Due to the constant pressure of death on him from a young age, he matured far quicker than his peers, leading to several people mistaking his age due to his demeanour.
Chen Changsheng is extremely strict upon himself, having established several rules and a code of conduct to follow. He always eats at a set time, and makes sure to keep himself clean. He has been shown to be a clean freak, showing his disapproval even when someone who associates with him is in any way dirty.
With his childhood being influenced only by Yu Ren and the Daoist Canon, Chen Changsheng has always been ignorant to the societal niceties of the world. He is extremely straightforward and honest, much to everyone's chagrin. His simple-mindedness has always led to those talking to him being rendered speechless.
