Bodyguard
Birthplace & Birthdate
What is your social standing like?
A servant only, as I am a bodyguard. (In life, he was the son of a farmer, and was a hitman for criminals of affluence).
Who are/were your parents? (names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
(Cheng-Ji has no idea of his past before he was raised from the dead. In life, his parents were poor farmers in a poor village. They were not bad people, but had to consider the survival of their family as a whole, and had little goals beyond that.)
Do you have any siblings? Who are/were they?(names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
(Tzan-Quo had six siblings, but most of them did not stand out. In such hard times, only one was groomed for greatness - one of Tzan-Quo's older brothers, deemed to be the smartest, who would be tutored and readied for a state exam in the hopes of bettering the lives of his whole family through success. All the others, like Tzan-Quo, were left to help with farming, but only Tzan-Quo swore to make something more of himself and ran away.)
Do you have any mentors? Who are/were they?
(Tzan-Quo would eventually have a master who taught him martial arts, and did his best to try and teach Tzan-Quo compassion and to put him on the right path in life. Unfortunately, Tzan-Quo had too much desire and greed in him, and he never contacted his former master again after Tzan-Quo started using what he had learned as a hitman.)
Do you have any friends? Who are/were they?
Do you have any romantic interests? Who are/were they?
I fell in love with my charge, for a brief time. I never learned her feelings before she died, may she rest, but I hope they were happy ones.
Is there any criminal activity in your past? If so, what?
(Tzan-Quo joined organized crime not long after completing his training as a martial artist. He rose through the ranks because of his successes, and was paid lavishly for his hits - murders, usually of people within the organization or threatening their members or livelihood.)
How much schooling or training have you received?
(Tzan-Quo was trained at a small martial arts school.)
How would you describe your childhood in general?
(Tzan-Quo's childhood was somewhat harsh, due the hard times that he lived in. It was a bitter and unhappy experience for him, and memories of his poverty drove him.)
What would you consider the most important moment of your life so far?
I suppose the moment where my first charge died of disease, may she rest. The ancient customs dictated I was to be given freedom, and sent away from my former masters. It was very hard.
What is your greatest regret of your life so far?
It is hard to describe - there is something, a feeling, that I have been failing at something for some time now, but I am never quite sure what it is. My greatest regret is not succeeding at whatever I am supposed to.
How did you fall into your current line of work/adventures?
I was raised and trained to be a guardian for a noblewoman, and she passed away, may she rest. But even after she was gone, I wished to guard and protect someone - it was my purpose, it was what I knew. That is how I came to find someone else to guard.
Personality/Beliefs

In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
I tend to treat most people with a polite respect. I do not mean most harm, and do not wish to make anyone angry at me, I just wish to do my job. I am very protective of my charge, I shall admit, and am wary about leaving them alone, or among the company of strangers. It is mere caution, I do not mean to be rude, but it is how I am and how I am trained. Friends will know that I trust them by how relaxed I will allow myself to be around them with my charge there as well. However, I would rather keep people at a distance - I would not want to bother anyone with my thoughts or troubles, please.
Do you tend to argue with people or avoid conflict? Why?
I would rather avoid conflict - I would only become aggressive or confrontational if my charge were threatened. I do not wish to cause any undue hurt or harm. I may taunt during battle, but then it is because every battle is a lesson, and it is important to be a good teacher.
Do you tend to take on leadership positions in social situations? Why or why not?
I do not - I would rather defer to my charge, or whoever is in overall command. I am just a bodyguard - I would rather focus upon my duties.
Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
I am not a speaker - I would not wish to interact with large groups. It is many people to keep track of, to make sure that none are harmful.
Do you care what others think about you? Why or why not?
Not very much - my first duty is to protecting my charge, not my own image. And yet...I do not want anyone to think I am a monster, and I do not want to be seen as a killer. I would like people to like me.
Do you believe in a higher power? If so, do you encourage others to seek religion/spirituality as well? Why or why not?
I believe that there must be something worth believing in, but it will take a lot of thinking to decide, if anything, what is right to believe. I am still thinking, and I think a lot, so it is not something I shall ask people to chose quickly about.
What are your positive personality traits?
I am a skilled bodyguard, and fighter. I have learned other skills related to this in some degree - I can cook a little, sew...I suppose I am thoughtful, and that might make me wise. I like dogs, and they like me.
What are your negative personality traits?
I am not very good at talking - attempts to draw me into conversation can be frustrating. And I can be too stubborn in protecting my charge, that is a problem. I suppose you could say that I am lacking in many ways.
What is the one things about yourself you are most proud of? Why?
I have never failed to to guard my charge as best I can. When that is my purpose for existence, isn't that something to be proud of?
What do you perceive as your greatest weakness? What is ACTUALLY your greatest weakness?
That there are some things that I cannot protect from. (That he is unwilling or even unable to live for himself.)
