Specialization & Arm

Arm Type: Air / Void

Tier: Variable (Hovering between Tier 6–8 depending on emotional resonance)

Designation: ForgeBearer — one of two in existence

---

Abilities:

Void Brushstroke (Passive): Can "write" in the air with his Arm, conjuring wind-based forms that become semi-physical.

Storm Cage: Creates a rotating shield of razored wind, infused with Void strands that sever both material and magical energy.

Vacuum Pulse: Sucks oxygen and sound out of an area; leaves enemies disoriented.

Wind Familiar — Bái Fēng (White Wind): Sentient fragment of his power that operates like a scout or secondary voice.

Anti-Script: Can cancel out certain formations, seals, or glyphs by overwriting them with wind patterns infused with void logic.

---

Psychological Profile

Core Traits: Cold, irreverent, indifferent just like Yè Yī, though Yè Yī's resonates a cold air around him, so much one could feel a chill run down one's spine, Huà Bǐ makes you feel like there's a force field that separates you from him, deeply loyal to those close to him, bold beyond sense, conceals depth behind jokes.

True Nature: Fearlessly honest but masks pain in unpredictability. His heart was broken young and he's still trying to rewrite his worth.

Coping Mechanisms: Constant movement, verbal deflections, attention-seeking through absurdity.

Traumas: Rejection by a family that feared his void-tainted Air Arm; manipulated by adults until Violet and Yè Yī intervened.

---

ForgeBearer Significance

Qiū Huà Bǐ was never meant to be chosen but The Forge will respond due to his resonance with Violet, not bloodline—making him a walking contradiction: part of a system, yet an outlier. The Wind/Void Arm is unstable because it doesn't belong to any known lineage—it was formed spontaneously, likely mirroring Yè Yī's Soul Arm phenomenon.

---

Interpersonal Dynamics

Violet: respects her authority. She sees through him completely, which unnerves and comforts him.

Yè Yī: His idol and the one he'd most want to impress. The only one he's never called an idiot, not even once.

---

Symbolism

Color Association: A stormy sky blue infused with streaks of black — freedom constrained by inner void.

Relic: His headphones which keeps him out of the real world's haphazardness.

Forged Title: The Laughing Gale of Fractured Skies

---

Unresolved Mysteries

His Arm Was Not Meant to Be: Some ancient specialists have noted that a Wind/Void pairing violates old natural balances.

ForgeBearer Status: No one else will know why the Forge chose him—he was unranked and unnamed before it happened.

---

Weaknesses

Impulse Control: Tends to act first, then think if he's still conscious.

Emotional Vulnerability: Easily affected by abandonment or perceived betrayal.

Void Drift: When pushed emotionally, the Void in his Arm swells—risking a self-destructive implosion of wind and space.
