Xu Sheng

Xu Sheng (onyomi: Jo Sei) was a brave military general for the Kingdom of Wu during the Three Kingdoms era of China. He fought in several battles for Wu during his lifetime. Sun Quan first recognised Xu's bravery when he was the first to land and charge against Wei at Ruxukou. At Guangling, Xu Sheng created fake watch towers and suspended his ships, and successfully deceived Cao Pi into thinking Wu had already had a proper defence waiting for him.

Historically, he was known to worry too much. There was also an incident between him and Jiang Qin, where the former had executed one of the subordinates of the latter. Later, Xu Sheng was praised by Jiang Qin in front of Sun Quan.

His design theme for Blast was to portray him as a passionate warrior who jumps into the action.
