background:

Caishen's path to becoming the tyrannical Emperor of the Kingdom of Arcadia was paved by a tumultuous and emotionally deprived childhood. From a young age, his parents ruthlessly prepared him to be the perfect ruler, instilling in him an uncompromising sense of duty and responsibility to the empire. His relentless training regimen left little room for the innocent joys of youth, as Caishen was isolated from his peers and denied any semblance of a normal childhood, never having a friend. Affection and vulnerability were seen as weaknesses that needed to be purged, and Caishen was conditioned to suppress his emotions, becoming a master at hiding his true feelings behind an icy and unyielding facade. This upbringing, while intended to forge an unbreakable leader, instead warped Caishen's psyche, leaving him starving for the warmth and acceptance he had been denied. Additionally, Caishen's position as heir to the throne made him a target for assassination attempts, which he was forced to face from an early age. The most traumatic of these incidents occurred when he was only 11 years old, when one of his beloved younger brothers attempted to kill him in an attempt to attain the throne. Caishen was forced to fight back and, in the ensuing fight, ended up taking his own brother's life, an act that would haunt him for years, further reinforcing his belief that trust and emotional vulnerability were dangerous responsibilities. Now, as absolute ruler of the Kingdom of Arcadia, Caishen's deeply repressed need for love and belonging would manifest into a dangerously possessive and obsessive nature.
