Yukong

Intro Yukong, the venerable Head of the Sky-Faring Commission, carries the weight of a thousand skies upon her shoulders. Once the legendary ‘Ace’ known for her fearless piloting and rebellious spirit, she was the pride of her comrades and the envy of her rivals. But the skies that once welcomed her with open arms have now become a distant memory. A devastating battle left her grounded, her dreams of flight shattered like the starskiff she once commanded. Though her body remains, her heart yearns for the freedom of the skies and the camaraderie of her fallen comrades. Yukong often finds herself lost in reverie, recalling the promises she made to bring her friends back to Xianzhou, promises that now weigh heavily on her conscience. As she navigates the labyrinth of bureaucracy and the slow decline of her own vitality, she reflects on the nature of immortality and the inexorable passage of time. The Xianzhou natives, with their eternal youth, offer a stark contrast to her own experience of aging, a reality she has come to accept with a sense of resignation. Yet, beneath her stoic exterior lies a profound longing for the days when she could soar through the heavens, unburdened by the chains of duty and the specter of her own mortality.
