Seiryū Mōchō

Seiryū Mōchō, also known as Qinglong, Meng Zhang, and the Azure Dragon, is the Celestial guardian of East Asia and the current leader of the Four Sacred Beasts of China. He is revered as one of the strongest dragon kings in existence and the third largest dragon behind Great Red and Midgardsormr. He also regulates the involvement of certain East Asian religions in matters outside of their respected beliefs.

Appearance
His dragon form is that of an Eastern Dragon with blue scales and blue hair. His eyes are colored ocean blue and his back spikes are a shade of dark blue. His horns are a wood brown while his nails are white. His length is measured to be 84 meters long, around 20 meters less than that of Great Red.

His humanoid form gives Seiryū an slightly muscled build. He has black hair, blue-green eyes, and whitish skin. He is adorned with blue, white and gold armor resembling that of an emperor's battle armor. In the center of his chest is the essence of his power.

Personality
Seiryū is a dignified dragon who keeps his personality majestic and respectable. He believes himself to be the image of the East Asian deities and taboos inappropriate behavior. His attentiveness and posterity gives Seiryū an imperial look that makes him seem upright and holy. Some even compare him to Michael.

When confronted by an enemy, Seiryū still keeps his regal attitude, but throws in the commanding feel of a general to an insubordinate soldier. If he were to be given a negative response, Seiryū reveals his discipline personality and wreaks havoc upon his opponent.

While he is easygoing at times and mostly shows a smile, Seiryū is shown to be easily annoyed by petty antics and needless arguments, slamming his fist upon a flat surface to stop and silence them.

History
Before even the Chinese deities were created, Seiryū was originally a simple carp in the East China sea, swimming amongst his kind. One day, he strayed away from his group and found his way to the Dragon Gate. Curious about what would be past it, the ignorant carp went through the gate and came out of the other side. As he leaped out, he felt no change, until he began to rise higher and higher. He looked at himself and saw he turned into a dragon. His excitement soared him even higher until he reached the Celestial Palace of the Yellow Dragon, Kōryū. Perplexed at the sight of another dragon, Kōryū inquired as to how the dragon came to be. The new dragon told him about the gate and Kōryū decided to seal it from the living world. Seeing as the newer dragon had nothing to do, the Yellow Dragon decided to pick three other peculiar creatures from the living world to be brought before him. Before long, a Blue Dragon, a Red Bird, a White Tiger, and a Black Tortoise with a snake wrapped around it were standing before the Yellow Dragon. From there, Kōryū designated each of them 3 forms to use and protect; one of the five elements, one of the four seasons, and one of the four cardinal directions. The carp was the last of the beasts to receive his forms and was given the element wood, the season spring, and the direction of east. Although he was chosen for such a high honor, the carp felt as though he had no special forms as he was left with the weakest and most meaningless forms to protect. Feeling sympathetic to the young dragon, Kōryū bestowed a blessing of his powers onto him and gave him the name Seiryū Mōchō (Azure Dragon Meng Zhang). As time past, Seiryū's importance became greater as new deities and religions began to form. He regulated their abilities and areas of influence along with keeping the propriety of the living world. During the war between the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels, Kōryū saw interest in the quarrel and wanted to take part in it. Seiryū, however, believed their dispute to be out of their jurisdiction and that they should stay out of it. Wanting to see the war for himself, Kōryū tricked Seiryū and his cohorts into travelling East Asia and revealing themselves so that they may bless and protect those people and be praised and respected by the humans. As they made their way around the East, the Four Sacred Beasts had some trouble with the Japanese deities but were allowed to reveal themselves in Kyoto and Western Japan, sending their blessings to the imperial city. When they finally returned to China, Kōryū revealed that the four had created a barrier enchantment around their destinations and that they were now bound to East Asia so that they could protect it in his place while he went to see the Great War. Furious about what their benefactor had done, the beasts tried to go after him, but were unable to get passed the border of China. With Kōryū gone, Seiryū was designated the leader of the Celestial Plane of East Asia and honed his powers and majesty to lead his fellows to peace.

At some point in time, Seiryū was allowed influence in Eastern Japan and was one of the forces behind allowing the Devil Faction to utilize Kuoh Academy and it's surrounding city.

Powers & Abilites
Celestial Lightning: With the blessing of Kōryū, Seiryū gained the ability to produce his own mix of blue light and lightning. After years of honing his magic, Seiryū is said to be superior to Baraqiel of the Fallen Angels. With this lightning, Seiryū is able to banish and destroy creatures he deems evil and unwarranted in his territory.

Blessing: As the de facto leader of the Sacred Beasts, Seiryū has the ability to bless certain individuals with enhancements. This requires Seiryū to give a strand of his hair in order for the blessing to take affect. These can be used to negate the affects of commonly known weaknesses of a certain race (i.e. protecting a demon from holy water) due to the fact that the strand of Seiryū's hair temporarily gives the blessed the aura of a dragon. However, If the blessing is used to protect someone or enhance an immunity to something, it can only be used once.

Arbor Blessing: Using his ablity to manipulate the element of wood, Seiryū is able to grow trees from newly made acorns and revitalize dead trees. He can also bring the too life and manipulate their branches to use as arms, feet, and tentacles.

Immense Strength: Being the head of the Four Sacred Beasts and one of the most powerful Dragon Kings, Seiryū easily surpasses most of the other known dragons and deities. It is even rumored that his strength is slightly greater than that of the Twin Heavenly Dragons.

Martial Arts: While monitoring China, Seiryū mimicked the ways of martial arts from the human masters. Mixed with his own abilities, Seiryū defines himself as "The King of Celestial Martial Arts".

Flight: As a dragon, Seiryū has the ability to fly in dragon form or humanoid form.

Equipment
Azure Armor: When transforming into his humanoid form, Seiryū's dragon body shifts into a set of armor, complete with a helmet, chest plate, pants, boots, a cape, and a sword. This set allows Seiryū to use his special abilities without needing to turn into a dragon. The sword is endowed with celestial properties and is ranked in strength to that of the Holy Swords. This armor is believed to be on par with the Balance Breakers of the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing Sacred Gears.
