Chong-Qi has long dark purple hair with a bluntly styled fringe just above his eyes. Peeking out of his head are a pair of darkly colored antennae. His eyes are a stormy gray with a pale complexion. Attached to his back are a pair of big-like wings. Both appendages are attributed to his bugfolk heritage.
Chong-Qi wears the standard Royal Sword Academy student uniform consisting of a white and blue gold-lined button up top with the royal blue pants. Across his chest sits a blue sash with golden trimming tied in a neat bow. The pin containing his magic stone is attached to the sash. He wears a sleek black pair of dress shoes.

Background:
His early life in Jingci-cheng was not an easy time for Chong-Qi. He was born mute. Growing up with this disability was a struggle, but he refused to let it keep him down and pushed onwards. Younger than most children, Chong-Qi, through his determination, manifested his ability to use magic and soon enough his Unique Magic followed close behind. Once his admission letter to Royal Sword Academy arrived, he wasted now time and was whisked away to Sage’s Island.

Abilities and Unique Magic:
Due to his bugfolk heritage, Chong-Qi is able to detect noises and vibrations, feel, and smell with his antennae and fly with his wings. However, his flight is very limited to a short distance, time, and weight.
Chong-Qi’s Unique Magic is called “Just For Luck”. His magic acts as a temporary buff. After signing his incantation, he rubs his forearms together, creating a reverberation. This sound enhances the physical and magical abilities of those within the vicinity.
Incantation: “Like a rock, you are hard. Like an oak, you stand firm. Like a cloud, you are soft. Like bamboo, you sway. Just For Luck.”
