Wei Shi Lindon begins as an Unsouled outcast of Sacred Valley's Wei clan, a boy whose only weapons are cunning, scripting, and the humble Empty Palm. After a vision from the Abidan Judge Suriel reveals his homeland's doom, he swears a soul-oath with the Sword Sage's disciple Yerin and leaves the valley, eventually being adopted by the eccentric Underlord Eithan Arelius and forging the destructive Path of Black Flame through a contract with the dragon-turtle Orthos. Losing his right arm, he replaces it with a white Remnant prosthetic, gains the mind spirit Dross, and climbs through Skysworn service to Underlord. By the Uncrowned King tournament he trains under the Akura clan, faces the vengeful Sopharanatoth, and his partnership with Yerin deepens into romance.

Description

A seven-year-old boy with black hair, tall and broad-shouldered for his age, wearing formal layered robes of muted color. A tall young man with broad shoulders stands straight as a spear, his intense gaze fixed ahead. He wears a mud-stained and weathered sacred artist's robe over sturdy build, a bulky pack strapped to his back, and a medallion etched with a hammer hanging from his chest. His presence looms head and shoulders over others, projecting focused determination amid signs of recent travel and exertion. A young man under eighteen with a hardened, muscular frame earned through grueling training. He wears tattered and singed sacred artist robes, a jade badge hanging from a silk ribbon at his chest, and often carries a heavy pack. His eyes are ordinary and human when not channeling power, and his appearance conveys the grit of a dedicated sacred artist. A human young man with a severe face and an unusual pale white Remnant right arm, initially described as soft and malleable and later as jagged and angular. His eyes appear black when using Blackflame. He wears robes or Skysworn armor over a tight-fitting cloth suit. A human male bearing a distinctive white Remnant arm whose claw-tipped fingers and gray-veined madra absorption mark him as a sacred artist. His frame shows the resilience of someone who rapidly recovers from combat injuries through an Iron body, leaving him ready for further battles in a world of advancing cultivators. A tall, broad-shouldered young man clad in green Skysworn armor etched with script lines along the joints. His right arm ends in a pale white Remnant prosthetic, often left exposed without bracers. When cycling Blackflame madra his eyes ignite with black-and-red fire, and his face contorts into a fierce snarl as he wields an axe with dark green gauntlets or his bare prosthetic hand. A tall, powerfully built young man with pale skin and unkempt black hair falling around a stern face marked by exhaustion. His right arm is a distinctive white Remnant prosthetic that contrasts with his human left. He wears finely tailored Akura black-and-violet robes with a sparkling halfsilver badge, projecting an imposing, battle-ready presence.
