Bio:
a Chinese martial artist from Yanshan County, Hebei - Cangzhou (1864~1934). A prominent martial artist in the history of Chinese martial arts, renowned as "a second strike is needless, so long there is one it will suffice". Otherwise he is known as Demon Fist Master of the Bājíquán.
The progenitor of the Li clan's branch of Bājí, Li Shuwen excelled in the use of spear to the point of being nicknamed "Divine Spear Li" . The "Six Harmony Great Spear" that he used was a basic weapon of the Bājí-branch and, if one is to accept this extreme logic, it can be said that the unarmed techniques of the Bājí-branch (the Bājíquán) are nothing but preliminary steps to learn the techniques of this great spear.
It is said he have brought too much hatred due to killing too many opponents and finally had his life ended by being served poison from the victims relatives.
Skills: (Rank E through A depending on power. EX denotes something immeasurable.)
Chinese Martial Arts(A+++): Skill in the philosophy of Liuhe Quan and Chinese Martial arts, at this rank the user can be considered a grandmaster among masters. In the Lancer class, Li Shuwen is supremely versed in the Six Harmony Spear technique, causing people to have called him "Divine Spear Li" during his life.
Vitrification(B+): Mental resistance through martial arts, capable of nullifying most mental interference.
Sphere Boundary(A): Sphere Boundary is a meditatively-based technique by which, through utilization of Qi, one may perceive the exact conditions of the immediate environment, and make use of the resulting perception so as to adjust and minimize the noticeability and impact of one's existence.
For those who have reached the pinnacle of this skill, it is possible to synchronize with the world to such an extent that the human figure is rendered naturally indiscernible; it could be said that this state of oneness is the purpose for the pursuit of the Sphere Boundary to begin with.\
Incidentally, this personal skill is attained purely through the mastery of the martial arts, and is therefore unrecognizable to those trained solely under the system of Magecraft -- being lacking in the telltale large-volume prana utilization that manifests in the use of Magecraft-based invisibility.
Noble Phantasm(s): (Rank E through A, plus EX again.)
Fierce Tiger Forcibly Climbs a Mountain(C): is one of the secret techniques of Li Shuwen, a pinnacle representation of Bajiquan and the deadly form he had relied on throughout his life. When transferred to the harmonies of the spear, Li Shuwen is capable of performing a spear based method of this attack. It is a gate destroying Noble Phantasm that is a series of consecutive attacks and obtained its name because it frequently utilizes motions where the first attack looks like a tiger clawing at a mountain. Each single attack is “energy from the earth outputted through the martial artist called Li Shuwen”(A.K.A Firm stance generating upward force for powerful thrusting attacks, which also means Li Shuwen has to stay in one spot when he uses this attack), to easily smash walls, doors, and even the sturdy gates of dojos, let alone the damage it could cause to a single person. Suffering the full brunt of this technique will lead to severe damage and once the first blow lands, the enemy is locked into a combo of several blows that crush bones and vitals.The blows are infused with Qi that engulfs the opponent, causing them to suffer analyptic shock and nervous system failure after repeated blows. Avoiding the first blow of the technique will prevent being locked down, which can be challenging considering Li Shuwen's expert skill.
Other:
Li Shuwen wields a Qiang, a chinese spear, as he is in the lancer class. It is a versatile weapon capable of thrusting, slashing, parrying and hooking requiring a significant amount of technical skill, but with Li Shuwen's superb expertise the spear becomes a jack of all trades weapon.
