Li Bai

"''Live for the day and enjoy life while you can! Come! Drink up!"

Li Bai (李白) is an assassin hero from the water faction. He is intended to hard-counter scholar heroes.

He was an acclaimed Chinese poet in his time and even today as a genius, a romantic who took traditional poetic forms to unsuspected limits.

Chapter One
Li Bai floats upon the river in a small boat, staring up at the full moon in the sky.

"Another toast to you, Brother Moon," Li Bai calls out as he lifts his cup to the sky and drinks. He has grown bored of life in the imperial court. It doesn't help that the courtiers have grown tired of his self-indulgent ways too, especially after the incident in which Gao Lishi was forced to remove Li Bai's boots for him.

Li Bai chuckles in amusement at the memory of Gao Lishi's indignant and sour frown as I have reluctantly performed the task. "Haha! What joy this freedom holds!"

It was certainly a defining moment for Li Bai, but he's deeply aware how capricious the emperor can be. There's no telling when he will no longer be favored by the emperor. If he's not careful, he'll be the one removing Gao Lishi's boots next time.

Or worse, have his own head removed.

Chapter Two
"They all call me an immortal poet. Well, I declare myself immortal-when-drunk!  Poetry doesn't come about sober."

Li Bai slips into a hazy sleep. In his dreams, he feels his body grow light and float into the air, soaring up into the heavens until the grand Moon Palace stands before him.

"Well then! Time for another toast.  Let's drink to the moon!"

It's then that Chang'e comes floating out of the Moon Palace to alight gracefully upon the clouds for a dance.

"Beautiful! A dance to rival that of Yang Yuhuan!

"Li Bai raises his wine jug for another hearty drink but is disappointed to find it empty. He looks up to see Chang'e glide ever closer with a white jade bottle in hand, seemingly with intent to pour a cup for Li Bai.

"Oh? I suppose I do deserve a taste of Heaven's wine.

Chapter Three
The boat rocks violently as it reaches the shore, startling Li Bai awake.

"Oh, such a pity. I was so close to drinking Heaven's wine."

He stumbles onto shore and looks up to see many moons in the sky.

"One, two ... How curious. Very curious indeed,"

Li Bai's swaying form suddenly stills, His eyes de él grow sharp as he suddenly swings a large brush in his hand, all signs of drunkenness gone.

"The eternal mysteries of the moon and stars, A curiosity strong enough to still the hand of a drunkard ..."

An original poem begins to take form upon the ground in wild frantic scribblings. Once complete, Li Bai flings his brush aside and bellows in laughter, loud enough to echo through the mountains.

He hiccups and a look of stupor returns to his eyes, Li Bai tips forward and sprawls across the ground, quickly falling asleep.
