Renxing (レンシン, Renshin) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.

Background[edit | edit source]

Renxing was born and raised in rural south China, awakening and using ice powers at a young age. Being very young at this point, the ice powers were weak and seldom-used to avoid trouble with his loving, although strict, parents. As he got older and his body developed, he would enter a school to learn martial arts and hone his physical strength and usage of ice powers.

At the age of 11, Renxing would begin having strange dreams. He would see himself trapped in a void, standing before a figure resembling his own but with platinum white hair. The figure turned to face Renxing, displaying blood red eyes and a wide smile before reaching out with surges of lightning traveling through his arm. As the figure walked closer, Renxing was catapulted awake, but continued to have dreams of the figure haunting him in future nights. He attempted to consult both his parents and his master, the latter suggesting that a Yuan qui may be seeing potential in him as a vessel, or that they were with them from the moment he was born and are now trying to awaken themselves in his body. As the days passed, he began to see the white-haired figure in greater frequency both in his dreams and in reality through hallucinations.

One evening while running routines out in town for his parents, Renxing would stumble across a white fox with human-like mannerisms stealing food from an outdoor food stall. The fox would nod to him and take off, prompting him to chase the creature and attempt to use ice powers to stall him. Ultimately, the fox brought him to an abandoned hut on the coast of a flooded rice patty farm. Peeking inside, the fox stood idle in the hut then turned its head to the red haired man before morphing once more into the familiar humanoid figure that haunted him for months. The figure then lunged at Renxing, absorbing itself into his body and knocking him back onto the wooden floor. He would feel several powerful bolts of electricity paralyze him and prevent him from moving his limbs until everything would go numb and motionless.

Renxing would find himself once again in the familiar void as the figure that stood before him—the Yuan gui, stood in front of him and maneuvered thunder energy through its arms. “Well well well…” the figure spoke. “Finally, I’ve been locked up for years and now… I have a fine vessel to inhabit and show the world what I am truly capable of.” Red energy radiated out of the figure’s eyes as it gave Renxing a grin. Renxing was too stunned and unable to do anything but watch as the Yuan qui placed its right arm on his’s heart and began to fire weak jolts into his body. “Promise me… that you’ll take good care of this vessel of yours… Go out and show the world… your absolute power… our… absolute power.” The Yuan qui then increased the charge of the shock to full blast, causing strands on its hair to slowly turn white and the white sclera in its eyes turning black. Renxing passed out once more, feeling his body fall deeper into the void as thousands of watts of electricity ran through his limbs.

Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]

The two forms Renxing can take on change his physical appearance drastically:

  • In his base form, Renxing has a more defensive, upright, and stoic look with his natural red hair having some white streaks symbolizing the small percentage of lightning power being used. His muscles are more dense in this form,
  • In his Absolute form, Renxing bulks up and changes into a more combative, hunched over, and aggressive stance. Most of the red coloring in his now spikier and messier hair is eliminated, leaving only a small number of red streaks to symbolize his shift to his Absolute self taking control and predominately using lightning powers. His eyes excrete a red frost-like energy and lose the whites in their sclera, giving off a more volatile presence. His muscles are more loose and flexible in Absolute form.

To fight, Renxing uses the power of Absolute Force: the absence of heat energy combined with kinetic power and the essence of lightning. This power is often called an enigma due to straying from the norm of the polar opposites of hot and cold.

  • In his base form, Renxing relies on the power of Absolute Cold to generate True Ice, a rare variety of ice that requires a full absence of heat. Under the influence of Renxing, the ice is red in color, in contrast to the bluish hues used by others with access to cyrokinesis. He can create projectiles, localized blasts of ice, ice traps, and pole-arm ice weapons such as spears and halberds as well as use ice to fortify his own body and draw out the heat in his opponent’s bodies to make them freeze on the spot. Due to having only a limited control of True Ice, Renxing can only use it in a responsive manner, making Absolute Cold into a more defensive fighting style focused on long-distance hits. He can energize the ice projectiles along with any of his other ice techniques by infusing them with electrical powers to increase their travel speed. In doing so, Renxing charges his body and increases the temperature within, drawing him closer into transforming into his Absolute form.
  • In his Absolute form, Renxing shifts his fighting style to use Absolute Tempest. In contrast to Absolute Cold’s more defensive and ranged utility, Absolute Tempest focuses on high-intensity speed and power with hand-to-hand combat through electrically-charged punches, grapples, and short-ranged bladed weapons conjured from lightning. He can also utilize True Ice in short bursts to cushion any physical hits he takes or toss an ice shard out that detonates, scattering ice shrapnel and lightning energy in a designated area. Continuing to attack with ice attacks while in Absolute form decreases his body temperature, eventually changing him back into his base form.

Renxing has two signature moves, each exclusive to one of his forms:

  • In his base form, he uses the Ephemeral Tundra (短暂苔原, Duǎnzàn táiyuán), combining lighting energy and absolute cold to create a bluish-purple flame-like wisp from his hands with bursting chaotic energy of the two elements fused together. Renxing then throws the wisp forwards, causing it to burst and release an immediate freeze burn on contact. If thrown to the ground or onto a wall, the wisp explodes into a large angled geyser.
  • In his Absolute form, his signature move becomes Frozen Tempest (冰冻风暴, Bīngdòng fēngbào): spinning at high speeds and charging each punch and kick he throws with a combination of lightning and cold energy. Each hit jolts and frosts enemies at a high velocity with little to no response time before finishing the combo with two flame-like wisps from his hands clashing together onto his opponent’s body.
