Biography
Once a servant to a high house of his homeland, Yang Wei has known the tragedy of minimal freedom and work which you may reap no benefits. From house service as a child, to his teenage years spent under cargo watch on trade ships across the sea, Yang learned to use his wits and charisma over his frail stature. At this point, he is forever reminding himself that anyone may achieve the same stature he once saw in the nobility. It may not be the same as an inheritance, but the wittiest of merchants may see that same wealth.
Now shifting through the countries of Tian Xia as a merchant and avid worshiper of Abadar, he is content with selling artisan materials and telling stories to the depressed and destitute. In tense times, Yang looks to the arts as a means of assisting those who may not otherwise be able to be helped. While fickle with his wealth, he insists on the use of art as a form of therapy. For the best art, he believes, is made by those who have the largest and most interesting stories to tell. As fantastic as it is, he sees little romance in a tale of a goodly prince who inherits his wealth compared to the stories of witty serfs who trick their lords as a means of achieving their wealth. Even stories of loss invoke more emotion from Yang.
While favoring tales of trickery, be it from his own dreaming in his past or his heritage as a Kitsune, Yang strictly leaves his trickery to mild pranks and attempts to fluster his customers for his own amusement. A tenacious and hopeless flirt (Regardless of gender), Yang is also mildly vain and proud of his looks and business. An insult to his art, is an insult to both himself and his livelihood. A hair trigger for an otherwise mild mannered and wise-tongued merchant.
Yang can often be found in his human form, a young man with an effeminate face and gentle hands- standing at 5'9". His entertainer's clothes consist of a red, silken yukata that seems to shift to orange in the light. The sleeves hold faint inklings of the openers to his many stories which he may look to for performance inspiration. At his hip, a red-roped sash decorated with small currencies of other countries that he wears for luck. Connected to this sash, is a gold key which unlocks nothing- but is a tribute and talisman to his god. His skin is fair, with standard golden eyes, and red hair.
In his fox form, standing on his hind legs, he reaches naught but 4'8"- a white furred fox with piebald splotches of orange and black. His sash is worn around his hip, and he has a noticeably short right tooth, once chipped when he was a kit. In the winter, he is much more likely to take this form, as Yang bitterly hates the cold.

As an oratory bard, Yang will perform if asked or paid some small sum. Even a trade of the arts interests him quite easily. That being said, bardic responses might take a little more time on my end due to the fact that I will have Yang speak in verse, either rhyme or syllabic, when telling his stories. As a traveler, he has come into contact with many oratory cultures, and does not strictly adhere to eastern styles, simply because he enjoys the uncommon.
