Character Details
Name: Cao Zhi
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 70 kilograms
Appearance:
Weapons: Dual Swords
Personality: Optimistic a lot of the time. He likes to drink wine and indulge himself a lot, which usually makes people think that he's some sort of idiot. He is extremely skilled in the arts of writing and poetry. Doesn't like to be outdone a lot of the time too, as he is a very clever person. He isn't very skilled in politics.
History: Cao Zhi was born the third son to the powerful warlord Cao Cao and his wife, Bian. The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms says that Cao Zhi could recite the Shi Jing, Analects and over 10,000 verses worth of poems before he reached the age of twenty. Unfortunately, Cao Zhi was a heavy drinker, and didn't have any discipline.
However, Cao Zhi also had a brother - Cao Pi who was a shrewd and cunning man. In 217 Cao Cao named his heir to be Cao Pi, over Cao Zhi. This choosing of Cao Pi over himself only made his odd behaviour worse, once even riding in the Emporer's private chariot.
Because Cao Cao had already chosen his heir, he took measures to stop his other contestants from becoming his heir. One of these things was the execution of Yang Xiu, who was Cao Zhi's advisor, which unsettled Cao Zhi, but didn't make him realise that what he was doing was wrong. In fact, his drinking habit had gotten even worse.
When Cao Ren (Cao Zhi's uncle) was besieged in Fan Castle against Guan Yu, Cao Cao named Cao Zhi to lead a relief force to help Cao Ren, secretly hoping it would give him a bit of responsibility. However Cao Zhi was too drunk to be able to lead the force. It was then that Cao Cao have up any hope he had in this son.
Once Cao Cao died, a few months later, Cao Pi came to power and one of the first things he did was executing two firm supporters of Cao Zhi; Ding Yi and Ding Yi. He also sent Zhi and his other brothers away from the capital and into the countryside, and he forbid them from partaking in political affairs. When Cao Pi died, and his son, Cao Rui took the throne, Cao Zhi wrote many times to Cao Rui asking him if Zhi could have a position so he could use his talents to help. Cao Rui refused him thinking that Zhi would try to overthrow him. Severely depressed by all of this, Cao Zhi died of illness leaving simple instructions for a burial.
