Canon update for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
empatheias
Player: Kiri
Character: Zeno (Akatsuki no Yona)
Current Canon Point: End of chapter 101
Updated Canon Point: Chapter 130, after the fire
Updated Background: After saving his family from the rogue soldiers, and a three-chapter flashback arc later, Zeno continues his adventures with Yona and her group of merry men. One day they camp in the middle of a forest to have Shin-Ah possessed by the ghost of a past Seiryuu. Once they realize that he was acting strange, this spirit starts to use his eyes' powers on Yoon and the other dragons warriors. Zeno puts himself in front, and they discover that the Seiryuu's powers are useless on his immortal body. Seiryuu faints, but soon wakes up again and kidnaps Zeno by tying him up with a rope. They're followed to a mausoleum from a past Seiryuu village. Inside the tomb, other Seiryuu ghosts try to possess Zeno, but to their surprise he's okay with it. He warns them about the terrible downsides of his body. The ghosts step away, and the spirit decides to take on another dragon. That makes Zeno act; he steals his sword, cuts the flesh of his own hand to cause scales to grow, and breaks a wall to come to their help. Before he and Kija can confront him, Yona comforts the spirit away. They all get out of the mausoleum with Yoon's help.
Their next adventure takes them to a city in the Water Tribe. They go to the marketplace to get Zeno new clothes, as he keeps ruining his. In his shopping he meets lady Lili's bodyguards, Tetora and Ayura, who pay for a new outfit for him. They ask the group for a favor: to help their mistress who's planning to go near the border to the kingdom of Sei to investigate about drug dealers. The next day they go to a festival in a town to meet a contact. At first they have fun, but Yona and Lili get kidnapped by the contact, who was working for Sei. The girls are taken as slaves to the construction of one of two forts. Zeno's group goes check one of the forts, and he manages to find Yona wounded and surrounded by soldiers in the forest. Zeno throws himself from the sky while flying in Jae-Ha's back, and beats some of the men up. Yona tells them that Lili was taken to be executed, and they run/jump off to her rescue. They all arrive in time to see the second group and Soo-won's own force working to save Lili. After a short talk with Soo-won, to ask him if he desires the power of the dragons, Zeno reunites with his family.
Much later, the group is confronted by a few ninja-like men from the kingdom of Xing. The leader, Voldo, knows they are the "monsters" of Kouka and asks them to come along with them. The second princess, Tao, wanted to meet them. They go along and are taken to the princess' house by Voldo and another strong warrior called Argila. The princess wasn't expecting to actually see them, but she welcomes Yona and the rest into her house and tells them about her country's situation, her sister Kouren, and how close they are to go to war with Kouka. That same night, men from Kouren attack Tao's mansion. Zeno can feel danger and goes inside a burning building where Tao and Argila happen to be. He holds a burning pillar, saving Tao's life, and urges them to escape. Unable to walk away, his flesh is charred along with the house. Before his friends can get inside, he appears completely burned brown, in agonizing pain. He falls into Yona's arms as his body slowly heals, leaving only golden scales behind. He falls asleep cradled in her embrace. Once they're all safe inside a cave, we can see Zeno alive and cheerful, his skin normal, and eating some stew.
Updated Personality: His essential cheery but wise personality hasn't really changed, but we can see a change in attitude considering his previous canon point. He's much more open about his powers and his immortality, not only with his found family but also perfect strangers. Perhaps the acceptance by his beloved people has given him more confidence. He's also 200% more reckless and extra. Whereas before he'd act with prudence and do the minimal in action scenes, now he throws himself into extremely violent situations to protect others, as the newer examples mentioned in his biography. He's now a poster boy for gore and blood, and isn't beneath causing the harm to himself to prompt his super strength and defense that comes with the regeneration. Quite the opposite, we now know he's used to and he's mentioned suicide attempts and self-harm for experimentation. These things often upset his brothers and Yoon, who complain to him and try to shield him before he gets hurt. He seems to be clueless and amused in canon about the effect of his actions, although his two-year development in Empatheias should make him more sympathetic to their pleas here.
Updated Abilities: We know this new information about his powers.
- Correction to application: His ability to hear the gods was long lost when he drank Ouryuu's blood
- Seiryuu eyes can't immobilize him or devour his heart. He'll fall and immediately snap out of it
- Hurting a section of his body (say, an arm) can just give him powers in that part only
- His fist in scales is strong enough to break a wall that Kija and Jae-Ha couldn't with his own dragon limbs
- He cannot get drunk. He gets dizzy only for a few seconds after ingesting alcohol
- Gorging his own eyes doesn't turn them into dragon eyes like Seiryuu's
- Drinking his blood or eating his flesh cannot turn a person or animal into an immortal
