Fu
Image of Good Fortune
Most people tend to have a difficult time trying to decide which is more strange about Rui-en Smith, the fact that he insists on wearing long sleeves and pants even on the hottest day or he is a handsome young man of Chinese descent... with short bright red hair. Either way, he dresses very dapper, almost always wearing something red, often a vest or something pinned to his lapel. But always, it conceals the fantastic tattoos done all over his body, all drawn into his flesh in different styles, but all showing a scene from China, mountains towering over an ocean.
In his Mien, the tattoos come to life, etched in bright gold, and Fu's appearance becomes more obviously of good fortune, even if one doesn't understand the symbols on his skin. His build is somewhat plumper, giving him a jollier look, with his coloring, including the gold-lined paintings on his body bolder. His nails become longer, just enough to be noticed as effeminate, and gilded with gold at the tips.

Tattoos

The tattoos take the form of an idyllic Chinese landscape overlooking the ocean. From his waist down is water and ocean, with a dragon among the waves, with golden fish about, with cranes on the shoreline. His chest displays a pine-covered mountain range, while his arms have chrysanthemums and narcissus all over, with creatures like butterflies and magpies hidden within the garden. While all of the creatures and plants are symbols of good luck in China, the style of the tattoos range from Japanese to Mesoamerican. The only consistency in the artwork is its inconsistency.
