I gave her everything.
I showed love.. Treated her
like a queen.. Loved her like no
other. Then she died.. Or so I thought.
Now I find out..It's all a lie... I don't know if
I can take much more of this. The truth truly hurts."

Morality: Chaotic - For the longest time, he was destructive to both himself and others. After his wife died, he became a recluse.. Along with a very bitter, cruel man. He'd spent the majority of his time alone.. Usually locked up in his room. A few times he's tried to kill himself but failed time and time again, unable to gather the resolve to go through with it. He has been trying since Jiuye was twelve years old...Each time he fails. So over the course of nine years, he's become quite withdrawn. He's gone from a man that would take children in off the street that had nowhere to go, and give them homes and meals in their bellies. To a man that couldn't care less one way or the other. Though with the news that his now ex wife is still alive, he's basically broken down further... And only time will tell what happens from here on out.

So over the course of nine years, his stubbornness to not let go of a love and marriage that has dried up and fallen apart has caused him to become very recluse like...even suicidal. No-one knows of his suicidal ways though.. Not even his children. It's perhaps one of his best kept secrets. Since everything that's happened with his wife, he's become cold, distant.. even bitter and cruel. Years before her death, anyone that angered him, he would have just laughed it off before punching their lights out.. But now.. he probably wouldn't hesitate to pull a sword or a dagger. Then of course there's alcohol. If he gets to drinking, he becomes a very lusty scoundrel.. If he's in a bar or a pub, he'll attempt to pick up the first woman that catches his interest if he's been drinking. On top of that, if he's been drinking and someone bumps into him and causes him to fall or spill his drink, he's more likely to start a fight.There's been more than one time where he's had to be carried out of the bar due to either getting sick or being dragged out while he's still trying to fight to make him go home.

Biography:
July 5th, 1954 - The bed chambers would be in silence as a baby boy was welcomed into the world. He never made a peep as he was passed to his mother. He'd instead stretch and yawn before staring up at her. She'd smile, deciding to pass him to his father. His father would smile down at the small child, deciding call the quiet child Junjie. And he'd hold little Junjie as his mother would go into labor again... Not even ten minutes later, another boy would be welcomed into the world..The second boy wailed his little lungs out as he was handed to their mother. The second child would be called Jian.
Growing up, the twins would always be seen together. Junjie and Jian were even known as the area's trouble makers. Given the chance, the boys would always come up with a way to cause trouble. At one point the boys had pelted a rival Lord's house in eggs. Though during their childhood, Junjie would see more than any child should have to see. While he and his brother were supposed to be sleeping, his parents would be arguing. It'd be at the age of five that Junjie would see first hand, his father slapping his mother. Hearing her cry, it broke his little heart.
By the age of thirteen, tragedy would strike. One night the twins had been up when they were supposed to be in bed. They were arguing over a blanket when they heard the first scream. They'd both run down from the second floor of the family's home stead...At the bottom of the stairs, their parents would be found. Their father had broken their mother's arm. Seeing their mother in pain, they'd both attack together. Their father would be killed that night. Junjie had grabbed a dagger from his father's belt and put it through his heart while Jian kicked their father repeatedly in the head.. By the end of it.. and the bloodshed, their father would he dead. And the boys' mother would send them off to get cleaned up. Their mother would cover for the boys.. Saying an intruder got in, and he got attacked.. She only lied to protect her boys. That day, Junjie would vow to never be like his father.. And to seriously hurt any man that he found hurting a woman.
Two years laters later, the tragedy would hit once more. This time it was Junjie's twin brother that it'd strike. Jian would be killed by a horse one night while trying to bring a horse in from a storm. The horse reared up and ended up kicking Jian to death. After his brother was killed by the horse, less than a week after, Junjie would sell his horse. He didn't want it if the horse was a killer. It was also during this time that his mother would introduce him to a girl his age...Enter Meifeng. Junjie's fate was to marry her. When he refused, his mother told him he had to as the plans had already been set.
It'd take Junjie about two and a half years to come around. But once he had, he'd force himself to get to know her. At first, he hated her. But then after so much time was spent..He'd fall in love.. Meifeng on the other hand didn't love him and was only doing as her father wished by vowing to be his. They courted for awhile.. Right up till he was eighteen before he married Meifeng. They'd stay in his mother's house though..Mainly because his mother refused to let him move out on his own, afraid that she'd lose him if she let him go.
Her over protectiveness however would make Junjie and Meifeng argue all the time. Often times, Junjie would tell her he regretted marrying her..only to get slapped or pushed into a wall. But he never once put a hand on her in return. Despite how Meifeng was towards Junjie, he'd stay with her...Loving her too much to actually walk away.
It was during the time that Meifeng had become pregnant with their first child though that his mother would move out, leaving him with the house and the land.. The very place that Junjie would end up living for the rest of his life. Junjie would be twenty six years old when his first son would be born. The first born son. Junjie would be the one to have the pleasure of naming his child.. He'd affectionately call his son Noukie.
After the birth of their first son, things between Junjie and Meifeng would seem to even out. She was constantly telling him that she loved him and he'd always return her love by cuddles an wild nights. Well the years would pass as they're known for.. And four years would go by without Junjie seeming to notice. His little boy was now four. And Meifeng was pregnant again. It'd be three days after Junjie's birthday that he'd be blessed with a set of twin daughters.. Daiyu and Jiao. So now with three kids, Junjie's love for Meifeng just deepened and his adoration of his children sky rocketed. For his kids, he'd do anything. And what really made his day after they were born, was how quickly Noukie had taken to his younger sisters, trying to pick them up.
Life just couldn't get any sweeter for Junjie. He was a father of three.. Had a beautiful wife.. a gorgeous home. A big bit of land. Which had a garden of beautiful flowers on it, a large pond.. Plus a mini house out back for the servants. Well looked like a mansion..But was much smaller than the house that Lord Yakuma lived in. Next door to him, he had made friends with the neighboring Lord..even if they were quite a distance apart. He'd eventually become an oath-brother with him and his vassal, Liu.
Three years would go by. Junjie was now thirty three. And once more, Meifeng was pregnant. She'd give birth to a little boy... This one, Junjie would name. His wife had this thing..He named the boys, she named the girls. So he'd call the newborn, Chung. And right away, his siblings took to their little brother once they were allowed to see him. Life just seemed to get sweeter and sweeter.
Many times after Chung was born, about a month or so later, they had begun trying for more.. Life began throwing curve balls though. The harder they tried, the more it ended in miscarriages and still-borns. A few times a baby would last an hour after the birth only to die shortly after.. Then it happened.
Two years of struggling to conceive, Meifeng would become pregnant again. She'd be able to carry the baby full term before giving birth to a healthy baby boy... The final child to the Yakuma family. This one, the couple would name together..Deciding on Jiuye. After he was named, Meifeng would inform Junjie that she wanted no more children.. After all the miscarriages and struggling to get pregnant, she saw little Jiuye as a miracle child. And believed that there should be no more children added to the family. Of course Junjie just agreed for the sake of not arguing.. But deep down, yes, he wanted more.
When his youngest was two, Junjie would be drafted into the war. He had to go. So with a heavy heart, Jun would leave behind his wife and five kids. He ended up somewhere in Japan. He wasn't there a week, and he had gained himself a war name.. The Raging Tiger after literally tackling a man twice his size and beating the daylights out of the guy. The fight was because of a bed. They were arguing over who got what bed on what side of the cabin. Junjie wanted to be close to the door in case he was ever needed for anything. But so did the man he fought. A screaming match would result in a lost temper that caused him to snap.
During his time in the army, his oath brothers would also come into the army. Rather they were drafted or came in on their own, Jun still doesn't know.
He'd spend a solid year in the war. Lost a good friend during his time there and would have to take his ashes and other items back home...giving them to a dear friend..that being Lanfen.. During the time he was with the mourning party, he couldn't bring himself to look Lanfen in the eyes. Once he got back to Japan, he got heavy into the alcohol. Liu and Gau were always having to either drag him to the wash room so he didn't get sick on the floor or pull him away from the nurses of the squad to keep him from being coming the scoundrel that he was known for becoming when he drank. A week of this and Commanding Officer Ren would demand he be sent home for a personal break. He was home a month before returning.
Once he was back, problems with the Commanding Officer began. The commanding officer believed Jun was weak because it took him a month to get over a loss...when it was time that could have been spent there at the base. And over time, Jun would quickly come to despise the commanding officer. At one point, with the help of Gau and Liu, he'd steal the commanding officer's clothes and run them up a flag pole. Of course this landed him in some serious hot water when the only thing they left the commanding officer to wear was one Meifeng's dresses that Jun had smuggled back. It had been intended for the prick that he had his very first fight with there..But it changed.
As time wore on, Jun would meet Jianyu. The first time he laid eyes on the kid, he was getting a tattoo.. He was amazed at the strength the boy had to just sit there and take the tattooing at such a young age. Any other kid he knew would have panicked.
He was there when Liu was critically injured. And was furious when the commanding officer wouldn't let him go find him. The commanding officer feared Jun would be either captured or killed...or perhaps both. But Jun didn't care. He wanted to go find his oath brother. In the end, he was locked in his cabin and unable to leave. Though once Gau was put in, he'd break through the window with Gau's help and they'd sneak into the medical camp to see him. Though he was forced out before he got caught.. Though he didn't want to leave Liu's side.. Feeling as if he were betraying him by leaving.
It was after this that more problems began. He was at one point captured by enemy lines. When he was captured and tortured, he'd merely bite his tongue hard enough to draw blood before spitting the blood in the faces of his captors. When they pinned him down and began to interrogate him, he'd get up and punch several of the people there before threatening to behead them all. Of course this ensued another visit for him to being dunked in icy cold water to the point he was nearly drown in it. Finally when his captors couldn't get anything out of him, he'd be returned to the base camp unconscious and covered in burns. But he returned with blood on him as well...the blood was not his. He had attacked one of his captors during the return bashing the man's head off the side of the carriage. When all was said and done before he had been knocked out, he killed the man. His return and the fact that no information was leaked would earn him a bronze badge.
At the age of thirty eight, he'd be sent home. He had stabbed chopsticks through his commanding officer's hand while eating dinner. Having had enough of the man's shit, Jun snapped and punished him in his own way. His punishment however would be getting whipped and then dishonorably discharged. Which was fine. As a show of his appreciation, Junjie would fill his commanding officer's bed with dirt, mud and worms.
When he got home, it was two months later that he had wanted to try for another child.. He felt the youngest needed a play mate. But Mei flat out refused. Because of being denied by Meifeng any more children, Junjie would set up his home's extra bedrooms as orphan rooms. Any orphans he saw on the street, he'd take them in, give them warm meals and a place to stay. A few of them he raised right up till they were teens before they'd set off on their own. But of course, Meifeng had said she wanted no more children after Jiuye in the house and the family. So when Junjie begun to take in kids, she decided she was going to teach him a lesson.
Every friday, she'd go to the bars, and pubs without her wedding band on. This went on for months and Junjie was none the wiser.. Eventually she'd meet a handsome man. He convinced her to run away with him. But at first, she didn't want to.. There was the problem of her husband.. So the two would end up sneaking around together behind Junjie's back while Junjie was busy taking care of kids. Both his own and the ones he had taken in off the street. He never noticed that the woman he loved with every beat of his heart was cheating. Had he noticed, it probably would have crushed him.
The sneaking would go on right till Jiuye was twelve...so for twelve years she had snuck around with the vampire. Numerous times she had come up pregnant and would abort the moment she found out. Junjie knew of a few times she had come up pregnant..But when she aborted, she'd tell him she miscarried. And due to all the trouble from before, he believed her. Then one day it happened... The vampire had convinced her finally to leave. But the only way she'd go was for him to sire her and make it look like she had died. He did as requested.. Everything except siring her when she had asked for it. Though he would make it look like she died.
Junjie....when he found her body, it tore him up. He hadn't gotten a close look...Just seen hair, skin and clothes..And that's all it wrote. He fainted...believing his precious wife was dead. Chung would have to carry him home, so he didn't get to look either. When Junjie awoke and discovered it was all real and not a dream....he shattered inside.. It was like his entire world had crashed down around him. Because of the loss, he begun to convince himself that men don't cry so he wouldn't be able to allow himself to cry. And he'd end up building an icy wall around his heart..and would slowly begin to shut out the world...Becoming a recluse.
One year would pass... His oldest was twenty two now... His boy would demand to go into the army. Junjie said no..repeatedly said no. When Noukie couldn't get his way, he began poking around around till he found a way in and once more he'd ask his father..showing his ways he had to get in. Junjie would sigh and tell him fine, allowing his boy to go into the army.
During the time that his oldest was at war, his younger boys would begin training in an area surrounded by cursed springs. One by fell a spring trying to retrieve his sword.. Was cursed to turn into a rabbit when hit with cold water..and then Chung...he'd be cursed as a cat later down the road. It was six years exact after Noukie had left for war, that the other two boys would leave home in search of a cure for their curse... Chung would leave behind his fiancee... Chung having become obsessed with the cure.
A year being out there, Chung would die.
Going to current times, Junjie has not a clue that one of his boys is dead. And he's just now finding out that his wife actually abandoned the family for a vampiric man.. With a heavy heart, he just don't know if he wants to believe any of this.
