i struggle in the samsara only in the hope of achieving...

my mission.

fu hua, originally known as hua, comes from what is now known as the previous era. she was a timid and awkward girl adjusting to life in a school far from her homeland, but she came around to open up to her peers. her world came crashing down when the first herrscher descended and laid ruin to both her home and the place where she made meaningful memories.not willing to sit around uselessly and wait for answers, she became a MOTH soldier under captain ▇▇▇'s squad v. ▇▇▇ became the herrscher of fire, and hua was the sole survivor. she later undergoes meta-morph surgery to become a MANTIS and the SWARA treatment, the former giving her powerful regenerative powers which prioritized her memories first and foremost.when only thirteen MOTHs remained after the herrscher of binding, she became a member of the flamechasers. they fought until the bitter end, where hua and her remaining companions plunged themselves into cryosleep to become pioneers of the new generation of humanity.she spearheads project EMBER, a project dedicated to teaching the current era knowledge from her era, as the celestial of the shenzhou alongside her close companions, but this project turned out to spell demise for the ones who accompanied her. hua grew more withdrawn and cold, holding close the ideal to show no mercy to the corrupted. she opened a martial arts school to pass down the SWARA, or blade mantra as it is now known, only to be killed by her very disciples.unable to protect the xianzhou in her weakened state, she agrees to work under otto apocalypse's shicksal in return for protection of her land. in shicksal, hua would continue to make more sacrifices, losing memories of those closest to her in order to weaken the herrscher of void; and later on, she would be killed by otto when she realized his true plans with kiana. her physical body was taken into a healing chamber by otto, while her consciousness was transferred into fenghuang down just moments before she was shot. though without a physical presence, she was able to guide her allies.when the herrscher of sentience took control of her physical body, hua was prepared to fight the herrscher alone and sacrifice her life for it, but she was reminded that she's not alone anymore, and never will be again. she works alongside them to take down the herrscher of domination and even otto himself. when project stigma was executed by her former comrade kevin, she and her friends challenged his authority over finality and project stigma.with the threat of honkai over, she uses this time of peace to explore the world alonside the book of fuxi and the herrscher of sentience. the trip was interrupted by hua suddenly finding herself in the mysterious city of phosphorus, where she meets old allies and new threats...but this time, she carries no fear or hesitation—she needs not to go through her life as a soldier, a celestial, a detective, a person who's lived countless of lives... for now, she gets to live as simply fu hua, an identity that she held close to her heart, even with her endless vicissitudes.

...a more in-depth look into her past can be found here.

long before fu hua, the celestial empyrea, the flamechaser codenamed vicissitude... there was simply hua — a seventeen year old girl who wanted to inherit her sickly father's dojo simply because... she had no aspirations of her own. she moved to sapphire for her studies but had a hard time interacting with her peers until she became friends with carole, who helped pushed hua out of her comfort zone and interact with other people. things seemed to be going good, and by the end of the school year, she was ready to take a plane back home and tell her father about the friends she made..an alarm sounded through the airport. the first honkai eruption. sapphire and her hometown were destroyed. with nothing left, the only thing hua could say to the woman who helped her evacuate was this: i want to know what i can do...those words binded a young hua to a burden she'll carry on for thousands of years to come. she enlisted as a MOTHs soldier under the guidance of captain HIMEKO, but she became the sole survivor of her squad after the very captain became the herrscher of fire. despite this, she kept fighting as a soldier. she became one of the few to become a MANTIS through meta-morph surgery, and she was the only one who showed promising results for the SWARA treatment. these newfound powers gave her strength and even an active honkai reaction forms thanks to the genes of garuda implanted into her, but it also gave her strong regenerative powers: this is to say she became immortal. additionally, SWARA negatively impacted hua's use of her active honkai reaction form: SWARA amplified hua's obsession with eliminating honkai so much so that she'd even destroy herself due to the honkai genes in her, but garuda's regenerative powers would leave her in a cycle of perpetual hell. with this in mind, dr. MEI forbade hua from ever using her active honkai reaction form until the most dire of circumstances.the regenerative powers of hers focuses on her brain cells first, making her virtually unable to forget. each and every memory will remain fresh as ever in her mind, even if these memories can cause weakness or even insanity. dr. MEI gave her fenghuang down, the 8th divine key, to erase her memories, or to temporarily store them in the divine key if she wasn't willing to erase them completely. hua, initially, was hesitant to sacrifice her memories: if she cannot remember that frightened little girl in her school uniform, she'll forget what kept her going all this time....but duty calls. the first time she erased her memories was during the battle against the herrscher of binding. she uses fenghuang down, level 1 output to create an opening for kevin to deal the exacting blow. the collateral damage caused by the fight left only 13 MANTIS soldiers, including herself, alive: they would later be known as the flamechasers, the last vestige of humanity. she would be the twelfth member, codenamed vicissitude. the thirteen fought until humanity's defeat against finality, where she and the few remaining flamechasers entered a cryogenic sleep in hopes of waking up to a world with a fighting chance against the honkai.when she wakes up in the current era around ten thousand years later, hua spearheads project EMBER alongside fuxi and nuwa, close friends of hers who desperately wanted to see hua follow her own path one day instead of being chained to a duty. she would be known as the immortal celestial of shenzhou, protecting her people while passing down knowledge from the previous era. this proved to be a double-edged sword since in response to shenzhou's advancements, the honkai beast chiyou emerged, ravaging the shenzhou. fuxi, nuwa, and ji xuanyuan sacrifice themselves to seal chiyou away, leaving hua alone with the book of fuxi, an ELF created by the two to give hua a companion and to keep her from turning into a cold and heartless honkai-killing machine.since little fuxi was only a droid, she had a limited supply of energy and would inevitably power down one day. before she did, she suggested to hua that she should open her own martial arts school to teach people how to defend their land. little fuxi's parting had hua seal herself off from the rest of humanity, becoming a cold and distant leader following her code of conduct with unfeeling loyalty: no mercy for the corrupted. she soon opens the school of taixuan that teaches her disciples how to harness SWARA, or what is now known as the blade mantra. these disciples would later on ravage the shenzhou and assassinate their very own master. they struck her with hua's very own technique, blade eminence, locking hua to the most base level of blade mantra, robbing her of her immortality and leaving her greatly weakened due to the loss of her full powers.

it takes twenty years for hua to recover. unable to protect the shenzhou in her current state, she makes a compromise with otto apocalypse, the current overseer of the very same shicksal that once led a crusade into the shenzhou which was quickly stomped out by hua: the protection of her people, as long as she works under shicksal. despite dirtying her hands under him, she has no choice but to if she wants to honor the promise she made to fuxi and nuwa. not all was terrible during this time though, as she takes in a young girl named cheng lixue and teaching her the very same blade mantra she taught her disciples years ago, even going on to be called master once again.when the second eruption brought on by the herrscher of void's awakening arrived, hua was dispatched to fight the pseudo-herrschers created by sirin who were no match compared to the millennia of combat experience she had against the honkai. in order to separate the void queen from the will of honkai, hua activated fenghuang down's level 1 output to power blade eminence, once again at the cost of her memories. after recovering from the battle, she still stays loyal to shicksal since... it's the only thing she has left, she has nowhere else to turn to.under shicksal's orders, she enrolls in st. freya to spy on kiana kaslana, the unknowing host of the herrscher of void's powers. when the herrscher of void awakened, hua immediately acted to stop her but was stopped by otto, who revealed his true intentions: to sacrifice kiana's friends in order for kiana to gain control of the herrscher's powers for his own selfish needs. to keep hua out of his plans, she shot her in the head.just before she gets shot, hua uses fenghuang down to transfer her consciousness to one of her feathers. even without a physical form, her sentience would lead himeko to challenge the void queen, help bronya escape world serpent's labyrinth, and guide kiana out of her guilt.her physical body, which was then placed in a healing pod, became the breeding ground for a new herrscher: the herrscher of sentience. hua, as always, was ready to sacrifice herself in order to seal the herrscher who was overwhelmed by her millennia worth of memories, but kiana prevented her from doing so, telling her that she'll never be alone from this point forward.in kolosten, she duels against li sushang, a descendant of one of her disciples, and used the battle to completely shatter her already damaged SWARA in order to regain full control of her active honkai reaction form, garuda. though she faints after the fight, she was able to buy kiana and her friends time to face otto head-on.to be updated as... as i finish the finality chapters for myself + 1.5 nonsense.....
