Disclaimer: I own nothing. This character belongs to Type Moon and Kinoko Nasu.

If anyone wants to know why I made a few design changes here:
-The hairstyle: the character was originally supposed to have long black hair and the real Prince of Lanling didn't cut his hair due to the Confucian belief of a person's body being a gift from their parents. It meant that men wore their hair as long as women. If you cut your fingernails or shaved your body hair, it had to be with you at all times (yes, weird I know, but they did invent nail clippers and facial and body hair removal in the Han Dynasty and still stuck to those rules). I know historically, he would've had his hair tied in a top knot, but my AU is inspired by MXTX and a good chunk of her male characters have ponytails. Also, I gave him a hair tie in purple but a different shade from his mask tie.

-The mask: it was too hard to draw honestly, but I stuck to as close as canon as possible and made some changes.

-The overall outfit: his first ascension looks more comfy but I gave him the belt from his second ascension. I did remove some glove detailing as hands overall are hard for me to draw.

-The character overall: He has a different master as Akuta/ Yu is his fake master. His true master is Qin Shi Huang (the one from proper human history) who was able to manage to get his real body in the Lostbelt without changing it thanks to the help of Ashiya Douman.
Akuta/Yu was originally his master yet QSH stole him away from her. Despite that, he is able to age normally somehow due to the Lostbelt shortening his life by making him only live for 23 years. Through that time, he managed to have a wife through an arranged marriage by QSH named Lady Zheng and a son named Gao Yue thanks to the help of the Lostbelt's technology. Many of which was founded through his adoptive mother, Gao Meiying.

-His personality: Despite everything, Gao Changgong is known for being cold and cruel like his younger brother Gao Yanzong. The main difference is that Changgong is less arrogant and more aloof yet insecure due to the fact that QSH favors Yanzong over him. He wears a mask to hide the "ugly face" that QSH refers to often because he takes everything QSH says about him to heart. Yet he is not allowed to wear it in court because QSH wants his many followers to belittle his "abuser." It has lead QSH to get others to scar both his forehead through stoning and his back through whipping. Gao Changong can be kind at times like his canon counterpart, yet he hides it as he is not allowed to act kind to others because of his master. Yet he does show that side but only to his few family members which he trusts. Mainly his wife, mother, and son. He is still capable of murder and has murdered over 500 people (including women and children) in the hands of Qin Shi Huang for his (the emperor's) selfish pleasures of immortality.
