CHENG LEI

CHENG LEI

Chinese-Australian Journalist

1975

Cheng Lei is a Chinese-born Australian who worked as a news anchor on television. She worked as a prominent news anchor for Chinese-English news channel China Global Television Network (CGTN) in Beijing 2012-2020. She worked for 9-years as CNBC’s China correspondent and then went to work as a presenter and columnist for Sky News Australia.

            In September 2020, she was detained by communist Chinese authorities. In August a Chinese government official stated that she was ‘suspected of carrying out criminal activities endangering China’s national security’ - no details or evidence were provided. Her detention was ‘without cause or reason’ and there were concerns for her fate.

            On February 2021, the Chinese government accused Lei of ‘suspicion of illegally supplying state secrets overseas’. She was imprisoned for almost three years for publishing the nation’s GDP and job targets. Australia fought for the return of Lei and had to deal with continual delays which were frustrating for all involved.

            On 11 October 2023, Lei was released from Beijing detention and returned to Melbourne, Australia. She was reunited with her two children, 12 and 14 .

            She revealed when she was behind bars she was forced to watch the Chinese state news each day, which gave her little to no insight of what was taking place around the world. She said, ‘You wouldn’t call that news, it’s just political propaganda.’ She missed her partner, Nick Coyle and her two children (who she wasn’t permitted to talk to or see). During her imprisonment she only saw sunlight for 10 hours each year and didn’t see a tree in three years.

            She returned to her role as a news presenter for Sky News Australia two months after her release. She stated her hunger for ‘news and information’ never subsided when she was behind bars and wanted to rediscover her voice.

What's all this first thing in the morning? You've been on leave for two long months. I was afraid your men's skills might be rusty. So I thought to help them warm up. In that case, I should thank the Jinwu Guards. You're welcome. Now that your men have warmed up, I'll personally help you warm up.

MY JOURNEY TO YOU ( 2023 ) ─ MARTIAL ARTS ( ACTION // FIGHT SCENES )

[inkandguns]

Chenglei is 15 this year. So whenever he wants to cuddle I put everything else on pause. He still loves to play and go on walks, not showing too many signs of slowing down yet. He was the weirdest cat they had at the Denver shelter when I adopted him. 12/10 good decision, would repeat it. Back then his name was “Tyson” tho. Interesting cat name. He sleeps on my pillow every night.

When we lived downtown in Colorado Springs he would get lonely while I was at school and yowl like crazy. Luckily I had a lonely neighbor that I let him chill with when I was gone. Dan would feed him chicken and milk in order to, “get him swole”. They remain some of his favorite treats to this day.

Book of Chenglei

Appearance of the Book:

The cover of the book is navy blue with a cosmic motif, it has two bookmarks which represents the moon, stars and sun which matches the motif of the cover.

The inside of the book is filled with scribbles and illustrations of the different lux spirits, what they do, their physical forms, their temperaments, and their weaknesses.

In the very last pages of the book, there is the glossary that the successors needed to know:

LUX SPIRITS are magical entities that have their own unique powers and physical form. They are the embodiment of the magical spells Chenglei Shuijing had learned to manifest. The drawings inside of the first 100 pages are Lux Spirits who are trapped inside of the book. Someday, they will become Lux Cards by the magician's Ribbonicles.

--------------------

AFFINITY WITH LUX SPIRITS

LUX SPIRITS have their own nature and mind of its own. It will be difficult to have an affinity with them due to that, but they will accept their masters if they are kind or patient with them. Affinities are crucial to LUX SPIRITS. The stronger the affinity, the stronger the power and less mana draining the Lux Spirits will give to their masters. Successors are needed to bond with their LUX SPIRITS in order for them to automatically obey them and doesn't consume too much of the Successors' mana that is used for controlling the LUX SPIRITS.

Some LUX SPIRITS can drain too much of their master's energy which causes them to get exhausted. If a non successor were to use the cards, it will raise their chance of overblotting unless the non successor has an affinity with them then it has a lower chance of overblot.

The mandatory requirements to use the cards:

•Chenglei's energy

Or

•Have lots of mana

-------------

RIBBONICLES allows the user to summon ribbons that can act like limbs that can stretch, turn invisible and sharpen which are only the basics. This ability is very versatile as it can turn into alloy depending the user. It is deemed to have more complex use than expected depending on how creative the user is. The ribbons are attached to the back, connecting to the nervous system, which makes it an emotion detector to the user. Oddly enough, Ribbonicles carry Chenglei's energy.

RIBBONICLES are hereditary. It can be passed down to not only by birth or offspring, but people unrelated. In order to pass it down to other people, the user has to bind the person, the latter has to use their conscious to command the ribbons to unbind them then automatically, the ribbons attaches to their spine, connecting to the nervous system painlessly, but they are considered to be artificial and not natural ones. It can be removed by the host's will before reaching 10 years because that would make the ribbons permanent and natural.

RIBBONICLES also represent as Red Strings of Fate, they are created by Chenglei for his son and wife. Its mostly used for defense but his son turned it into a weapon as part of the defense mechanism. Since its hereditary by passing down, if the user passed it to their loved ones, that symbolizes the trust they have to them. RIBBONICLES however, isn't only that, the ability can work in many different ways if the user puts their mind into it.

--------------------

CAPTURING PROCESS:

Ribbonicles is the only ability that can be used to capture the Lux Spirits by binding them and chants an incantation to turn them into a Lux card.

The Incantation Spell:

Spirits of Magic with no name,

let the Strings of Fate bind you,

and form a bond with me!

RETAIN!!!

--------------------

SEALING PROCESS:

After turning the Lux Spirit into a Lux Card, you have to give the Lux Card a name or a title then write it in the cards so it will be permanently sealed and wont escape again. If you write your name in the Lux Card, you are monopolizing the use of the card as it will not let anyone use the card when it is owned by someone else exclusively. However, even if you write your name in the cards with permanent marker, it is still erasable.

--------------------

SUMMONING LUX SPIRIT PROCESS:

Typically, you can pull out the Lux card and discretely summon and ordering them via thoughts but for beginners, they need to have a wand, conductor or staff in order to summon one Lux card or else they might accidentally summon more than two Lux cards.

--------------------

GUARDIAN OF THE BOOK:

A white lion with angel wings named Sorin will be awakened once the book is open. He will act as a Lux Detector and a walking Lux Spirit Dictionary to aid the successors' Lux Spirit Hunting. He is able to control some of the Lux Spirits since they are under his jurisdiction. Sorin is also a Materialized Lux Spirit known as the Sunlight Lux Spirit.

[This lore is TWST off of Cardcaptor Sakura by Mod Auniro because she wanted to be a cardcaptor]

The Book of Chenglei was once owned by a powerful magician from another world named Chenglei Shuijing many centuries ago. He was known to be a mysterious and spontaneous man who's unique magic capabilities involved giving life to magical entities, known as Lux Spirits, that are an embodiment of a magic spell created from remaining pieces of wandering souls and a hybrid of Western and Eastern magic, keeping them inside as magical cards and secured them inside his magical book.

However one day, he was punished by a God, the punishment meant that his long life span will be cut short for stealing a soul from the underworld. Due to this, Chenglei seeks fortune telling from Oracle concerning his fate. Oracle had foretold Chenglei that once he dies, his magical energy will be passed onto his successors while his soul gets reincarnated. Chenglei understood and decided to prepare a test for his successors in the future and let them inherit his book. He had told Sorin, the Sunlight Lux Spirit, to sleep inside the book in order to become the successors' companion for the test. He had also announced his family about his fate and told his one and only son, Xander, the Moonlight Lux Spirit, to watch over the family while he's gone and Sorin is away, then gave him a special brooch that can notify him that the book has been opened.

After all the preparations are completed, Chenglei had passed away and his magic book is kept inside an interdimensional library where it will wait for the first successor to open it, waiting patiently for the test to start in order to prove that Chenglei's successors are worthy of becoming the new masters of the Lux Spirits.

"Wow this library looks so old." Auniro mused and wandered inside the library of a bookshop, looking around if anything piques her interest or maybe trying to find a Psychology book that she can read and mess with her friends with. Wandering around the aisle of bookshelves, her ears heard a ticking sound of a clock, making the petite girl with glasses turn her head to try to find the source, only to see a thick dark blue book with gold details that piqued her eyes.

Auniro's curiosity got the best of her and pulled the book off of the shelf, dusting off the dirt a bit then her eyes widened at awe to see the book cover to have a design that she has never seen before. The front cover had already amazed her since it was designed like it's from a fantasy genre she has seen before with a working clock that's protected by glass stuck to it, with the handclock indicating the time accurately. "Ohohoho... Em and Taryn is gonna like the look of this!!" She beamed and turned her heel to go try to find her two best friends to check out the book she found.

Oh little did she know that was the beginning of their adventure.
