Wu (呉), also known as Sun Wu (孫呉) or Eastern Wu (東吳), is one of the three influential kingdoms. The country is symbolized by the color red and a tiger.
The kingdom's territory was originally ruled by different governors in the south. They were conquered by the smaller Sun family. Thanks to the influence of the Four Families of Wu, the Sun family was able to establish their rule. When the Han Army suddenly appeared in their land Sun Jian took his two sons, Sun Quan and Sun Ce, and went to confront their Generals. Sun Quan was easily killed off when a falling out began and Sun Jian was taken as a hostage. With promises that his father would remain safe, and great power would be bestowed upon the Sun family, Sun Ce ultimately decided to join the Han Army leaving his sister Sun Shang Xiang to choose her own destiny. Sun Ce was able to recruit a great general of his own army for his cause, Gan Ning. |
Sun Jian is Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang's father. Known as the "Tiger of Jiang Dong" and a descendant of the legendary Sun Tzu, he gained fame by single-handedly defeating a crew of vicious pirates in his early teens. He stands proudly at about 6'0".
Sun Jian is a calm man, always considerate and courteous to his men. Out of the three rulers for Wu, he is the one who acts most like a gentleman. He is generally kind to those around him and forgives past mistakes with subtle ease. He doubles as a fierce and courageous warrior. Since he is praised as a tiger of his homeland, he pridefully refers to himself by his nickname on several occasions -his children also share his pride during their respective conquests. In spite of his impeccable service for the Wu and his bravery in battle, other regional lords usually do not think too highly of Sun Jian and ridicule him as a "country bumpkin"; this is predominately done by Yuan Shu. He is fiercely loyal to the Wu Dynasty, even going so far as to call himself the "Blade of the Imperial Wu". A caring father, he is proud of his children and tries his best to look out for them. As they grew older, he acts as a strong mentor figure for them and points out their respective strengths and weaknesses. He also developed a special nickname for his daughter regarding her tomboyish nature. He is also self-sacrificing for their well being. His weapon of choice is a sword known as "Sword of Judgement". His specialty moves hold the power of Fire and are known as "Tiger Claw" and "Spiral Inferno". |
