His voice can also command a spirit to appear before him if he knows their full name, they cannot resist his call. (It has to be their real name or it doesn’t work).<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Black Gates-</span>Gui has the ability, given to him by Hades with great discretion, to open the gates to the underworld. Strictly for assisting spirits over to the other side.<br/><br/>Use of this for other purposes merits severe punishment.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"> Onyx Chains-</span>When an unruly spirit refuses to be cooperative, perhaps even resorting to violence upon the living, Gui can bind them in chains of onyx from Tartarus.<br/><br/>This takes a lot of energy to overpower angry/violent spirits, so it’s strongly cautioned he doesn’t use this ability more than once a day.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong>Gui stands at 5’7 and weighs in at 140lbs. His naturally black hair is dyed a warm soft ginger brown and his eyes a soulful dark chocolate, he has delightfully pouty kissable lips and a flawless fair complexion. He’s not body builder muscular, but he’s definitely well built and it’s clear he takes very good care of his physique.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Gui is usually very quiet, very calm, some might even call him stoic… he is very observant to the world around him, there isn’t much that escapes his attention.<br/><br/>Many say that Gui has an eerie aura about him, there is just something about him that makes them feel uneasy… they tend to say… he has an aura of death around him…<br/><br/>Gui can come off to many as indifferent, cold and a bit of a womanizer, he is quite charismatic and alluring to the female gender, quite deliberately as well.<br/><br/>In truth, Gui is soulfully intelligent and deeply compassionate, especially towards the souls that have been made his job to help.<br/><br/><br/><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong><br/><br/>Gui has always been different and he’s always known it… kinda hard not to when you’ve had ghosts seeking you out for help since you were five years old. His childhood was not the easiest, his mother tried seeking out help from well practiced mediums and priests to shield her son from these traumas until he could be old enough to decide for himself… but alas, who was the defy the power of a God?<br/><br/>What Gui’s mother did not know was that the fling she’d had lining perfectly up with when she found out she was pregnant… was none other than Hades himself…<br/><br/>Sweet Meilin had looked too lovely sitting beneath the cherry blossom trees behind her family’s martial arts studio, pale pink petals softly falling and settling in hair black as ebony… he couldn’t resist her…<br/><br/>So nine months later, Meilin was pushing out a demi-god, having no idea just how special her little boy really was. Especially when she wasn’t supposed to be able to have children, due to an illness that struck her as a child… her little Gui was her beautiful little miracle.<br/><br/>For most of his life, Gui kept to himself and found some solace in learning the various style of martial arts being taught by his maternal family members…<br/><br/>When Gui turned sixteen… the truth was revealed to him… Hades appeared to him in his room long after the rest of the Zhihan household had gone to bed, he told Gui everything, right down to why he stayed away throughout Gui’s childhood. He just wanted Gui to have as normal a life as was possible for him… without the complications of a deity father.<br/><br/>However, as Gui was getting older, Hades explained that he could really use his son’s help in caring for the souls of the dead… he explained to him what it meant to be even a demi-god of the dead, his sacred duty to guide souls to where they are supposed to go, instead of leaving them to wander aimlessly into madness like so many spirits Gui had met before.<br/><br/>“I can only be so many places at once, Gui…” Hades had said to him “I need your help… THEY need your help… it is our sacred duty to provide them clarity through the foggy haze of death…”<br/><br/>Gui needed little convincing, he felt to his core everything his father told him about his duty and etc… it was the truth, somehow, he was pretty sure he’d always known he had some greater purpose, but he just hadn’t known what it was until that night.<br/><br/>Hades told him to wait until he was eighteen years old, he explained a letter would come for him with directions to a village where his talents would be encouraged and nurtured, a place he could do more good for the dead than ever before.<br/><br/>For the next two years, Gui busied himself with his martial arts training and helping whatever wayward ghosts came along his path, as he’d always done, as his father told him to continue doing.<br/><br/>He never told his mother the truth, he didn’t want to break her brain with something so monumental that she’d gotten knocked up by a Greek god. She thinks he’s away at school in America studying ancient cultures to become a respected historian.<br/><br/><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong>Kim Jaejoong<br/><strong>WRITER:</strong>LamentingQuill<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Extra Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://angeljj.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/65246465201302011932312044729989139_004.jpg) (https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Jaejoong.jpeg?s=900x600&amp;e=t) (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IKg2ZubXWeM/maxresdefault.jpg) (https://silentattraction.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/jj-and-a-cat.jpg)(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRkMGUmbLQ7BoKcSJWrNXyCga9bLwGL_41hvodWmQYbckd0RYbp&amp;usqp=CAU)</div></div>
