Chimper #3814
Aishun did not possess the grace of the Teikodian Empire's elite guard. Their training was dodging runaway noodle carts in the plaza, their prized Chimpers cap always askew. Most saw them as a court jester, a gleeful face with a bafflingly deadpan delivery. They were entered into a palace tournament as a joke and won their first match by slipping on a dropped persimmon, accidentally disarming their opponent. This fluke triggered a bizarre surge of power, a chaotic evolution no one could explain. From a shadowed balcony, the master Henso didn't laugh; they saw unpredictable potential. That quiet respect was all Aishun needed. They earned the title "the Vanguard" after tripping into the lead of a patrol and winning the ensuing brawl through sheer, clumsy luck.
