The Xia Lan Xing De Family (夏蘭荇德 家族)

Xia Xiong (夏雄)
Full name: Xia Lan Xing De Xiong (夏蘭荇德‧雄).Blood status: Pure-blood.Age: 43 years old.Aura: Red.Position in the family: Mother of Xia Yu (夏宇), Xia Tian (夏天), and Xia Mei (夏美).Status: Alive.Fighting Points 11500+.Actress: Pauline Lan (藍心湄).

Biography: As the sole bread winner in the family and owner of a truck company, she takes on the roles that traditionally belong to fathers and sons.

Wanting a normal life:
Despite her tough exterior, she desires the closeness and comfort of a normal family life.

She wants her children to lead normal lives, so she sealed Xia Tian and Xia Mei's powers with a pair of "Feng Long Tie" (封龍貼 / Seal Dragon Patch) since they were young. Of all her children, she worries about Xia Tian the most. His closeness with his father upsets her because she does not want her son to follow his father's footsteps in becoming a musician. But he eventually convinces her to let him pursue his dream when he sings her favourite song while kneeling outside their house to beg for her permission.

Hobbies:
She loves to cook, but most people are repulsed by her cooking because she makes the worst food and would do anything to avoid eating it. The only people who enjoy her cooking are Demon Hunter, Jiu Wu and herself, which explains why she doesn't stop making food even though everybody else protests.

Love life:
She divorced Ye Si Ren because he was irresponsible as a father and unfaithful as a husband. But though her marriage fell apart years ago, she still loves Ye Si Ren and desires his company. When Ye Si Ren reveals his identity as a member of the evil Ye He Na La Family, she finally expresses her true feelings and the two of them become closer than before. But obstacles don't stop coming in-between them from there; First, they learn that Han (Xia Tian's girlfriend) is Ye Si Ren's long lost daughter, thus ruins their plan to reconcile their marriage. Secondly, Ye Si Ren's father uses her ex-husband and her son Xia Tian as pawns to take over the world and she is forced to fight back the constant obstacles coming for them. And finally, Xia Xiong gets trapped in "Shi Kong Jia Feng" (時空夾縫 / separate-dimensional wall) and her loved ones almost forgot about her in the process. But after going through these obstacles, the two finally end up together.

Nicknames: Because of her manly personality, people usually refer to her as "Xiong Ge" (雄哥 / Big Brother Xiong). People including her father Xia Liu, her ex-husband Ye Si Ren, and her eldest son Xia Yu.

Aside from her average nickname, she also has three other nicknames; Xia Mei calls her "Lao Mu Da Ling" (老母達令 / Mummy Darling), and Xia Tian calls her "Lao Ma" (老媽 / Mom) and finally Lan Ling Wang calls her "Fu Ren" (夫人 - Madam), a title she is highly amused of.

Specialty: In the initial episodes, she wears a metal glove called "Qilin Shou"  (麒麟手 / Qilin Glove) to cast a family spell called "Qi Lin Mai Chong Guang Tao Can" (麒麟脈衝光套餐).

Later, she uses a gun named "Wu Feng" (烏風 / Zaocys), which was given to her by the God of Guns years ago. It is powerful enough to kill any evil entity and to temporarily transfer the combined power of 99 spirits trapped in the gun to a person who is completely pure in heart and mind with the help of the Great Traveler. While the God of Guns can access the gun's full potential, she can only access 30 percent of its powers.

Xia Tian (夏天) / Gui Long (鬼龍)
Full name: Xia Lan Xing De Tian (夏蘭荇德‧天).Blood status: Half-blood (Pure & Dark).Age: 17 years old.Aura: Green/Gold (Ultimate Iron Man).Position in the family: The middle child of the three siblings.Status: Deceased (presumably).Fighting Points:13000 (16000+ as Gui Long), (50000+ as Ultimate Iron Man).Actor: Jiro Wang (汪東城) - Fahrenheit (飛輪海) / Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛).Biography: Xia Tian (Summer in translation) is a sweet kid with a good heart, but he often gets taken advantage of due to his naivety. Though he is born with powerful abilities, he dislikes using them.

Dreams:
He dreams to follow his father's footsteps and become a musician, an idea his mother strongly opposes to initially. But he convinces her to allow him to follow his dream, and then becomes the lead singer of Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛).

Destined for greatness:
Since he made little effort in controlling his powerful but unstable abilities, a "Feng Long Tie" (封龍貼) was placed on his neck making him no different from a "Ma Gua" (麻瓜 / Muggle). Xiu believes Xia Tian has the potential to become a "Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren" (終極鐵克人/ Ultimate Iron Man), a savior of worlds, so he taught Xia Tian to play guitar and control Gui Long (鬼龍 / Ghostly Dragon) - his evil half with greater power, who on several occasions, attempts to destroy Xia Tian in order to become the dominant personality. But although they are enemies, they have once come together to fight against Zack, their evil counterpart from the Bronze Dimension. Despite Xia Tian's inability to control Gui Long, his mother made him the guardian of the Xia family heirloom, the "Feng Long Ka" (封龍卡 / Seal Dragon Card), a mini disk containing everything about "power-users" (異能行者). In order for Xia Tian to become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, he must find the five original power-users of wind, fire, thunder, lightning and rain (原位異能行者) and collect their elements. In the end, he succeeds in collecting the five elemental powers and becomes the legendary Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren.

Love life:
His biggest motivation for developing his power and guitar skills is Han, a girl he met when he was a child and has liked ever since. To save her life, he rushed into "Mie" (滅 / destruction) to rescue her trapped soul and was willing to trade his soul for hers. When they both safely returned to the human world, their love blossomed, but not without trials. First, his father told him Han was his half-sister. They were forced to separate and treat each other with indifference. Then, he found out Han was part his paternal grandfather's conspiracy to dominate the world. But the good news is that he and Han are not related and the two finally get a happy ending.Nicknames: Xia Mei calls him "Xiao Ge" (小哥 / Little Big Brother).

Ren Chen Wen sometimes calls him "Tian Ge" (天哥 / Big Brother Tian) along with Xia Mi and Wa Ge, however, he is more common to call him "Wo De Tian Ge" (我的天哥 / My Big Brother Tian).

His evil half Gui Long sometimes calls him "Xiao Tian Tian" (小天天 / Little Tian) to mock him.Specialty:As Gui Long:
When he takes off the Feng Long Tie, he transforms into Gui Long and becomes unable to control his actions. But thanks to Xiu, he learns a spell to help him control Gui Long. Eventually he becomes strong enough to suppress him without using the Feng Long Tie. Gui Long's main weapon is the guitar pick "Gui Long Pi Ke" (鬼龍鎞克 / Gui Long Guitar Pick) as his weapon, into which the Feng Long Ka is embedded. His notable, yet lowest ability is to impregnate people through a simple kiss (this implies boys as well). Those who fall victim will become pregnant, smile crazily and be flirtatious for three days before the effect wears off.

Gui Long disappears when the Master, his paternal grandfather, executes his plan to dominate the world, causing half of his powers to disappear along with Gui Long. Gui Long's disappearance makes Xia Tian the dominant personality.

As Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren:
When Xia Tian finally becomes Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, he becomes able to cast all kinds of spells that were previously used and can use the legendary guitar "Tie Ke Wu Ji" (鐵克無極 / Iron Limitless) as his primary weapon and also uses the Feng Long Ka as his guitar pick.Alternate counterparts:
Xia Tian / Gui Long has three alternate counterparts introduced throughout the Zhong Ji series:
In the Gold Dimension: Wang Da Dong the leader of Zhong Ji Yi Ban (終極一班) from the first series KO One (終極一班).
In the Bronze Dimension: Zack a well-known psycho killer sent to the Iron Dimension in attempt to make Xia Tian stronger from the second series The X-Family (终极一家).
In the Silver Dimension: Sun Ce the student-body president of Jiangdong High School (江東高校) and Sun Shang Xiang's older brother from the third series K.O.3an Guo (終極三國).

Xia Tian and Da Dong share a similar ability in being able to vary the level of their own powers to their opponent's. It is no doubt that Zack might share this same ability as well.

Xia Yu (夏宇) / Gui Feng (鬼鳳)Full name: Xia Lan Xing De Yu (夏蘭荇德‧宇).Blood status: Half-blood.Age: 20 years old.Aura: Light yellow.Position in the family: The eldest of the three siblings.Status: Alive.Fighting Points11000 (18000+ as Gui Feng)Actor: Danson Tang (唐禹哲).Biography: Xia Yu (sounds like "raining" (下雨) in some ways) rarely worries his mother. As a student majoring in law and finance at National Taiwan University, he is great with money and handles the family budget, and is also a money-lover. He always cooks and takes care of his younger siblings during his mother's absence.

Secret wishes:
Despite being the person everyone trusts and relies on, he resents being the only "Ma Gua" (麻瓜) in the family and doing the menial jobs around the home. His resentment grows when he finds out that his mother had given the "Feng Long Ka" (封龍卡) to Xia Tian instead of him, the eldest son, because of his Ma Gua status. Evil sees his jealousy and uses that to turn him evil by giving him a ring to absorb other people's powers. The ring unwittingly unlocks Xia Yu's sealed power. As it turns out, he is not a Ma Gua by birth. Rather, his father secretly sealed his power upon birth because he exhibited the pure evil genes. When he fully comes into his powers, his dark instincts start to take over. The situation forces his father to use "Xi Hun Qu" (洗魂曲 / Soul Cleansing Melody) to cleanse his soul and seal his power again.

Coming into his power:
Xia Yu's powers remain sealed until his paternal grandfather's plan to take over the world backfires causing a beam of dark energy to strike directly at him, turning him into "Gui Feng" (鬼鳳 / Ghostly Phoenix), who is the "original power-user of fire" (火的原位異能行者). Gui Feng is so powerful that not even a "Feng Long Tie" (封龍貼) can suppress him completely. But since his element is needed to help Xia Tian become "Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren" (終極鐵克人), they cannot strip his powers away. His family eventually finds a way to contain Gui Feng by using "Bing Gu Zhou" (冰箍咒) to cool his fire, which gives Xia Yu the time that he needs to learn how to control Gui Feng.

Although Gui Feng is more powerful than Gui Long, he appears to be not as arrogant as he was and sometimes shows a caring side though he tries to hide it.

Because demonized power-users can convert other people's powers into their own, there is a possibility that Gui Feng is actually the reincarnation of Gui Long, since both have similar personalities. Plus there is a fact that whoever falls victim to the Soul Cleansing Melody will receive a different type of supernatural abilities if he ever regains powers.

Love life:
Although Xia Yu does not have any real love interest in the story, he has once fallen for the Fire Ant Girl, a demonic assassin that his paternal grandfather sent to attack his family and got caught by his maternal grandfather. He learns the ant-language so as to communicate with her and to interpret for the others and he truly cared for her. However, their relationship breaks after she is killed by Xia Tian's evil counterpart, Zack.Nicknames: Xia Mei often calls Xia Yu "Shi Li Gui" (勢利鬼 - meaning something similar to Snob) as well as "Si Ma Gua" (死麻瓜 - meaning "Stupid Muggle" but directly translated to "Dead Muggle").

Xia Tian calls him "Lao Ge" (老哥 / Big Brother).

Ren Chen Wen, Xia Mi and Wa Ge call him "Yu Ge" (宇哥 / Big Brother Yu).

Ye Si Ren and Gui Long have at some point called him "Xiao Yu" (小宇 / Little Yu), a name that is similar with Jiu Wu's counterpart, Xiao Yu (小雨).Specialty: As the original power-user of fire, Xia Yu/Gui Feng can manipulate heat.

Aside from Gui Feng's existence, Xia Yu can easily absorb outside energy like other demonized power-users (魔化異能行者) even without powers, and can also understand certain demonic languages, thanks to the genes he inherited from his dad.Alternate counterpart:
Xia Yu has one alternate counterpart introduced throughout the Zhong Ji series:
In the Gold Dimension: Lei Ke Si (雷克斯) from the first series KO One (終極一班). Lei Ke Si is Wang Da Dong's childhood friend. Both Xia Yu and Lei Ke Si are good at their studies and have revealed evil tendencies at some point. Although Lei Ke Si did not appear in the storyline, he did appear in the introduction theme, a flashback of his battle against his enemy and as an image of KO 2 on the Top Ten KO News.

Xia Mei (夏美) / Gui Wa (鬼娃)Full name: Xia Lan Xing De Mei (夏蘭荇德‧美).Blood status: Half-blood.Age: 16 or 17 years old.Aura: Deep blue.Position in the family: The youngest and only daughter in the family.Status: Alive.Fighting Points:7000.Actress: Sunnie Huang (黃小柔).Biography: Despite being born in a powerful magic family, Xia Mei is the only base-leveled power-user, which makes her the least powerful member in the family. Nevertheless, she is strongest among lower-level power-users. Like her mother, she has anger issues, and is very persistent; pretty much the only kuso in the home. Between her two brothers, Xia Tian is the one she likes the most because he is often understanding while Xia Yu only cares for money and benefits, which makes her want to tease him every now and then.

Love life:
Initially, she has a crush on Xiu, the guitarist in the band Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛), but later falls for Lan Ling Wang. She is so obsessed with Lan Ling Wang that she is willing to sacrifice anything for him. However, when she realizes how much Lan Ling Wang truly loves his fiancée Bing Xin, she decides to give them her full support. Including arranging a wedding for them and giving Bing Xin the wedding dress her mother kept for her own wedding. In the end, she still loves the guy, but they remain friends.Nicknames: She is called "Mei Mei Jie" (美美姊 / Big Sister Mei Mei) by Ren Chen Wen (任晨文).

Xia Tian calls her "Lao Mei" (老妹 / Little Sister).

Xia Yu calls her "Hua Chi Mei" (花痴美 / referring to a girl who gets obsessed with every cute guy she sees).

Her father sometimes calls her "Mei Mei" (美美 - 美 meaning beautiful) or "Mei Mei" (妹妹 - meaning little sister).

Her mother calls her "Tong Xue" (同學 / Classmate) when she does or says something inappropriate.Specialty: By ripping off her Feng Long Tie (封龍貼) partially, Xia Mei becomes able to use her power of electricity to attack people; Ren Chen Wen often falls victim to her power of electricity. However, since her powers belong to basic level, she cannot do any serious damage.

When she rips off her Feng Long Tie completely, she becomes Gui Wa (鬼娃 / Ghostly Doll), and becomes able to scare people with Zhen Zi (貞子 - a demon from the movie The Ring), a ghost-like demon with pale skin and a green glow, which she conjures with a little puppet that appears along when she transforms.

Unlike her brothers, her consciousness remains in her evil form, making her the only sibling that doesn't have much problem controlling her evil half. But when she becomes Gui Wa, her instincts to scare people become overwhelming.Alternate counterpart:
Xia Mei has one alternate counterpart introduced throughout the Zhong Ji series:
In the Gold Dimension: Sha Jie from the first series KO One (終極一班). Both Xia Mei and Sha Jie are instinctive, they act very petty and hostile against those they hate and are passionate or rather obsessive towards those they love. However, Sha Jie is more devoted. Sha Jie does not appear in the storyline, but she does appear in the introduction theme alongside Lei Ke Si Xia Yu's alternate counterpart.

Xia Liu is the guardian of the entrance to the ghostly dimension, Mie (滅). He may be senile, but he is also the most powerful member in the family: that is before Xia Tian becomes the superior member. His lack of memories is sometimes part of what made the show interesting. This old man may be stubborn, but is also kind-hearted. And farts when something upsets him.

Hobbies:
During free-time, he likes to hang out with his friends, Jiu Lai and Demon Hunter, on a mountain where they can be alone and discuss things. Pizza and bubble tea are two of his favourite meals. Xia Liu is excellent at sewing when he is motivated.

Hatred towards Ye Si Ren and Lan Ling Wang:
He despises Ye Si Ren even before he married his daughter, and his dislike towards him grows when he finds out that he is a member of the Ye He Na La family, but learns to accept him over time, though he keeps accusing Ye Si Ren for things that he has not done. He doesn't like Lan Ling Wang at first either, but after he sacrifices himself to save their world, he starts to change his mind. Xia Liu has given each of them a golden watch, claiming that he only has one and that "it" can only be given to someone heroic and worthy, when the truth is that he has a whole collection of golden watches in his bedroom.Nicknames: Everyone knows him as "Ah Gong" (阿公 / Maternal Grandpa). Jiu Wu called him "Xia Liu Qian Bei" (夏流前辈 / Senior Xia Liu) before joining the others.

His most notable attacks are eight spells that are mainly used for fighting evils, called "Jiang Mo Ba Jue" (降魔八訣). Other than Ke Mo Ba, he has been seen wielding a trumpet called "Long Wen Hao" (龍紋嚎) to enhance the effects of his freezing spell. He also has a staff called "Jiang Mo Jiang" (降魔降) specifically used for exorcism, however, the weapon was never shown.

Xia Liu is capable of summoning the family spirits to assist them at times.

He also knows a technique to astral project his soul into another's body called "Tai Xu Yun You Su" (太虛雲遊術).Alternate counterparts:
Xia Liu has two alternate counterparts introduced throughout the Zhong Ji series:
In the Gold Dimension: Wang Tian Yang, formerly known as the powerful assassin “Dao Feng” (刀瘋) and is also the father of Wang Da Dong from the first series KO One (終極一班).
In the Silver Dimension: Dong Zhuo the villainous ruler and principal of Hedong Institute (河東學院) and later the principal of East Han Academy (東漢書院) from the third series K.O.3an Guo(終極三國).

Care for his family:
Because of his naïvety and unfaithfulness, he and Xia Xiong's marriage ended years ago, but he still has feelings for her as demonstrated by his interference with Xia Xiong's dates. Even though he was not a very good husband, he is a very good father, and will do anything in his capacity to protect his family.

Revelation:
From the start, he appears as a Ma Gua (麻瓜) to everybody, but when Xia Yu's dark powers begin to manifest, he reveals himself as the head member of the Ye He Na La family (葉赫那啦家族) and plays the Xi Hun Qu (洗魂曲 / Soul Cleansing Melody) in order to cleanse Xia Yu's evil instincts and powers.

He is the one who sealed Xia Yu's powers when he was a baby, as well as giving the "Sou Hun Qu" (蒐魂曲 / Soul Collecting Melody) to a Chord to save Han.

Love life:
According to himself, he met Xia Xiong when his family attacked hers twenty-three years ago, and fell in love with her at first sight. But because they were arch-enemies, he had to pretend to be a Ma Gua to be able to be with her. However, though he was deeply in love with Xia Xiong, his evil instincts always tried to make him drain her powers, so he relinquished his powers in order to be with her for real.

When things between him and Xia Xiong finally start to get back on track, he discovers that Han is his long-lost daughter, and has no choice but to split up Xia Tian and Han. Then, when things start to get back on track... again, his father comes into picture and ruins everything... again.

Lan Ling Wang calls him by the title "Da Shao Ye" (大少爺 / Eldest Young Master).Specialty: Ye Si Ren possesses two of his family's most valuable objects: "Sou Hun Qu" (蒐魂曲 / Soul Collecting Melody) which has the power to revive people, and "Xi Hun Qu" (洗魂曲 / Soul Cleansing Melody) that has the power to cleanse a demonized power-user's powers and evil instincts.

Though he is not a power-user anymore, he still possesses certain abilities that Ma Gua and regular power-users don't have, such as the ability to see past events that occurred to someone else in the form of dreams, and to translate a demonic language that only Mo Hua Yi Neng Xing Zhe can understand.Alternate counterparts:
Unlike the others, Ye Si Ren has two alternate counterparts in the Gold Dimension named Duan Chang Ren and Hei Long. They both gave up their abilities for respective reasons.
He also has an alternative counterpart in the Silver Dimension named Sun Jian, father of Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Sun Shang Xiang.  It was later discovered that Sun Jian is actually Ye's twin younger brother.

Other Main Characters

His clothing is almost an exact duplicate to the Final Fantasy VII character, Cloud Strife. His lifestyle is pretty retro.

When Lan Ling Wang first appears in the story, he just appears and disappears around the Xia family and Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛), and was ordered to find "Sou Hun Qu" (蒐魂曲 / Soul Collecting Melody) and "Xi Hun Qu" (洗魂曲 / Soul Cleansing Melody).

Painful times:
He challenges Xia Tian in a duel to reclaim the melodies, but then he hears from his dying minion that the young master has captured his family and destroyed his army. Ye Si Ren gives him the melodies in hopes that he would be able to use them as trade for his family. However, his attempt turns to a disappointment when he finds out that his family has already been eliminated. When he tries to claim revenge on the young master, he has his powers drained by a "Gui Ling Yan Huo Qiu" (鬼靈焰火球 / Ghostly Fireball) and becomes a Ma Gua (麻瓜) for a time throughout the series, until the Master of the Ye He Na La family executes his plan to dominate the world, and Lan Ling Wang learns a spell from his ancestor to ruin his plan, and as result displaces the Ye Ha Na La family's power and has his powers restored, as well as making Xia Yu come into his own power. However, the side effect is Xia Xiong getting trapped in "Shi Kong Jia Feng" (時空夾縫 / separate-dimensional wall).

The Seven Stars Curse:
When Lan Ling Wang first lost his powers, he finds out that someone had put a "Qi Xin Zhou" (七星咒 / Seven Stars Curse) on his family six generations ago. And if he, the seventh generation, cannot lift the curse before the eighth generation is born, then the following generations will lose their true powers and become slaves of the Ye He Na La Family forever. But if he can lift it, he will gather up the energy of hatred that his ancestors have collected over the centuries and turn him into a "Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren" (終極鐵克人 / Ultimate Iron Man). In the end, he only lifts half-the curse and becomes six times stronger than before. According to Jiu Wu, he also has the biggest chance of becoming Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren than Xia Tian. But Lan Ling Wang himself is resistant to the idea, because the thought never occurred and add the fact that his family was killed because of supernatural abilities made him reluctant to using his powers.

Love life:
Although he knows that Xia Mei is in love with him, he only loves one person; Bing Xin - Han's twin sister, who he thought was dead until Han senses her pain. With his friends' help, he finally finds her and gets to spend three days with her before she dies. Thanks to Xia Mei's help, they manage to get married and then say goodbye to each other in the morning.Nicknames: Xia Mei nicknames him "Xiao Lan Lan" (小蘭蘭 / Little Lan Lan).Specialty: Lan Ling Wang carries a sword from the spiritual realm known as "Lan Ling Zhan" (攔靈斬), and can use it to gather destructive energy and produce a powerful blast called "Fen Jian Da Fa" (弅劍大法), which can eliminate everything within 100 miles, including himself.

When Xia Mei accidentally strikes Lan Ling Wang with her electricity, he just stands there seemingly unharmed by it, and then they realize that he is the "original power-user of lightning" (電的原位異能行者), which explains why he is immune to electricity even as a Ma Gua.Alternate counterpart: Lan Ling Wang is the alternate counterpart of Wang Ya Se; both are as stubborn and courageous when it comes to saving their friends and families. They both carry swords that come with instruction manuals. However, he is not much of a narcissist like Ya Se.

Jiu Wu (灸舞)Full name: Jiu Da Zhang Lao Wu (灸亣镸荖‧舞).Blood status: Pure-blood.Age: 17 years old.Aura: Golden yellow.Status: Alive.Fighting Points:24000.Actor: Aaron Yan (炎亞綸) - Fahrenheit (飛輪海).Biography: Jiu Wu (sounds like ninety-five) is the newly ascended ruler of the Iron Dimension. An organization called Tie Ke Jin Wei Jun (鐵克禁衛軍 / The Iron Imperial Army) is under his control to protect the Iron Dimension.

When he first appears, he has a deep, strange voice which makes him seem powerful and out of the ordinary. But after about twelve episodes, his powerful voice returned to a normal one.

He has a younger brother named Jiu Lai, who has the appearance of an old man due to his misuse of supernatural powers. Because he rarely reveals himself, people that know his brother assume that their appearances and ages would be alike; some even refer their names to be similar.

Responsibilities as the ruler:
As the ruler, his main responsibility is to preserve "Fang Hu Ci Chang" (防護磁場 / Defense Magnetic Shield) that protects their world from outside attacks: if he gets hurt, the shield will weaken allowing evils to invade their world; but as he keeps on preserving the force field, it also weakens him in the process, making him unable to use his powers under certain circumstances.

Love Life:
Once when Jiu Wu was kept in Ye Si Ren's titanium coffin, he developed some feelings for Han as a side effect. But once he stopped laying in the coffin, the feelings disappeared quickly.

Hobbies:
Jiu Wu is a big-eater, and Xiong Ge's cooking is his favourite. Ever since he stopped by for the first time and tasted her food, he has been unable to get the taste out of his mouth.

Finding Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren:
From the start, Jiu Wu can already tell that both Lan Ling Wang and Xia Tian have the potential to become "Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren" (終極鐵克人), although he believes that Lan Ling Wang's chance is bigger. He can also tell that Xia Yu is no ordinary Ma Gua upon meeting the first time, though he does not seem to know anything about him other than that.Nicknames: Jiu Wu is mostly called by the title "Meng Zhu" (盟主 / means something like master or ruler). Only the Master has called him by his name so far.

His master, the Great Traveler (神行者) calls him "Xiao Wu" (小舞 / Little Wu).Specialty: Jiu Wu has been famous since young for his "Jiu Bu Qin Gui Shou" (九步擒鬼手), which indicates the ability to find the opponent's Achilles' Heel within nine steps. No one has ever escaped this attack until he meets the father of the Ye He Na La Family. This ability was never seen on-screen, only mentioned.

He can also create force fields that prevent evil from entering, and separate part of his power for further use while still having the force field on.

After Han is found out to be the "original power-user of thunder", Jiu Wu reveals himself as the "original power-user of rain" (雨的原位異能行者). But because his energy is needed to support the force field that protects the Iron Dimension, he cannot transfer his element to Xia Tian or go to the Gold Dimension to restore the powers of his alternate counterpart, Ding Xiao Yu.Alternate counterpart:Jiu Wu has one alternate counterpart introduced throughout the Zhong Ji series:
In the Gold Dimension: Ding Xiao Yu one of the main protagonists from the first series KO One (終極一班).

Unlike his alternate counterpart Ding Xiao Yu, Jiu Wu is more playful, optimistic and likes to talk a lot and occasionally makes up cold jokes. Aside from looking alike, there appears to be nothing in common between the two.Sequel: In K.O.3an Guo (終極三國), Xiu mentioned that Jiu Wu had forbidden everyone from traveling to other dimensions ever since the balance of the worlds was restored.

Xiu (脩)Full name: Hu Yan Jue Luo Xiu (呼延覺羅‧脩).Blood status: Pure-blood.Age: 20 years old.Aura: Orange yellow.Status: Alive.Fighting Points:14000.Actor: Shu Chen / Xiu (陳德修/脩) - Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛).Biography: Xiu is the leader and guitarist in the band, Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛).

Teaching Xia Tian:
At first he thought that Xia Tian was just a Ma Gua (麻瓜), but when he sensed his special powers he started suspecting that Xia Tian might have the potential to become the legendary Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren (終極鐵克人), so he becomes Xia Tian's guitar teacher and later trainer.

Because he is usually quiet and focused, it comes surprising to people that he has a playful side.

Love life:
Xiu and Han had a tendency to fight each other the second they see each other due to a genetic hatred, but they manage to overcome that. He later secretly develops a soft spot for Han but does not allow himself to fall in love with her because of his duty. Whenever someone asks questions about his love life, he just replies "Dong Cheng Wei only plays music, and don't talk about love (東城衛只彈琴不談情)". Jiu Wu once asked why he didn't seize his chance to be with Han when she and Xia Tian were misunderstood as half-siblings, and he replied that he just hoped that they would have a happy ending now that there was nothing separating them anymore.Nicknames: Gui Long often calls him "Xiao Xiu Xiu" (小脩脩 - Little Xiu Xiu) as a way to mock him.Specialty: Xiu has the ability to force someone to act according to his commands, a spell that every member in his family is capable of.

He can also use a spell that allows him to talk fast and for the listeners to hear clearly.

His left fist was powerful as an atomic bomb while his right fist was ten times the power.Alternate counterpart: Xiao Yu's alternate counterpart in the Iron Dimension is Jiu Wu, who rules an organization to protect the Iron Dimension. While Jiu Wu is playful and pranky, he is just quiet.Sequel: In K.O.3an Guo (終極三國), he travels to the Silver Dimension with his friends where Da Dong accidentally causes a giant rock to fall down on Xiu's alternate counterpart, Liu Bei.

Duan Chang Ren (斷腸人)Blood status: Presumably pure-blood.Status: Alive.Actor: Na Wei Xun (那維勲).Biography: Duan Chang Ren is a strange man who runs a food stall. He is often mysterious and whenever Da Dong, Ya Se and Xiao Yu come to visit for food and have hard time understanding things, he gives them useful advice.

Duan Chang Ren's true name is Hong Long (紅龍 / Red Dragon).

His most special treats are "Zhen Zhu Nai Cha" (珍珠奶茶 / Pearl Tea) and "Ba Xian Guo Hai" (八仙過海 / Eight Fairies Cross The River). But his pearl tea is actually milk taken from his dog named Zhen Zhu (珍珠 / Pearl), thus the drink is named after it. Da Dong, Ya Se and Xiao Yu have an unforgettable history with this drink.

Evil twin:
Duan Chang Ren's twin brother, Hei Long is the antagonist of the series of KO One. After his defeat, Duan Chang Ren brought him to an abandoned warehouse where he spends his life in.Alternate counterpart: His alternate counterpart in the Iron Dimension is Ye Si Ren, the father of Xia Tian, who is also the alternate counterpart of Da Dong.

Duan Chang Ren once told Da Dong, Ya Se and Xiao Yu about dreaming of an old man standing in front of him; probably because of the connection between him and Ye Si Ren and his retained ability to see things that happen to someone else in his dreams.

Hei Long (黑龍)Blood status: Presumably pure-blood.Status: Hospitalized.Actor: Na Wei Xun (那維勲).Biography: Hei Long is Duan Chang Ren's evil twin brother and the final antagonist of KO One.

Lei Ke Si is the second-ranked KO fighter. Lei Ke Si is one of the five KO fighters whose power was lost in the final battle between good and evil, but he and the first on the KO rank are the only ones who don't return to reclaim it.

Involvement:
Aside from the opening theme, Lei Ke Si has also appeared in a flashback of the KO fighters' final battle against Hei Long, and in an image of the Top Ten KO Ranking Record when Xia Tian travelled to the Gold Dimension.Nickname: Lei Ke Si carries the title "Zhan Shen" (戰神 / War God).Specialty: Lei Ke Si used to wield a metal glove called "Ah Rui Si Zhi Shou" (阿瑞斯之手 / Ares' Hand). It was reclaimed from the world of darkness, which made him powerful and evil. During the final combat, he lent it to Xiao Yu in order to fight against Hei Long.Alternate counterpart:
Lei Ke Si has one alternate counterpart introduced throughout the Zhong Ji series:
In the Iron Dimension: Xia Yu (夏宇) and his alternate personality Gui Feng (鬼鳳) from the second series The X-Family (终极一家). Xia Yu is the eldest of the three siblings in the Xia Family and is the "original power-user of fire" (火的原位異能行者). Both are very smart and can therefore handle school life very easily.

Sha Jie (煞姊)Status: Alive.Actress: Sunnie Huang (黃小柔).Biography: Sha Jie does not appear in the story, but she has appeared in The X-Family opening theme as reflection of Xia Mei's alternate counterpart, alongside Lei Ke Si.

Sha Jie's status as KO 13, would seem that she is the only person whose power is stronger than her Iron Dimension counterpart's.

The Bronze Dimension (銅時空)

ZackBlood Status: Half-blood.Status: Alive.Fighting Points:31500+Actor: Jiro Wang (汪東城) - Fahrenheit (飛輪海) / Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛).Biography: Zack is a well-known psycho killer from the Bronze Dimension, sent by the Master to the Iron Dimension in attempt to make Xia Tian stronger.

Johannes Burman (26 April 1707 in Amsterdam – 20 February 1780), was a Dutch botanist and physician. Burman specialized in plants from Ceylon, Amboina and Cape Colony. The name Pelargonium was introduced by Johannes Burman.

Johannes Burman was the eldest son of the theologian Frans Burman (1671-1719) and his wife Elizabeth Thierens. His brother was the theologian Frans Burman (1708-1793). He started his studies in Leiden in 1722 under Herman Boerhaave, and qualified in 1728 as a doctor of medicine, after which he practised in Amsterdam. After the death of Frederik Ruysch he was appointed Professor of Botany in Amsterdam. Johannes Burman was married to Adriana van Buuren. Their son Nicolaas Laurens Burman was also a botanist and studied under Linné in Uppsala.

Carl Linnaeus, in 1735 on a trip through Holland, was invited by Burman, carrying a letter of recommendation from Herman Boerhaave. Burman was impressed by his near-contemporary and offered him accommodation in his home on Keizersgracht. Linnaeus was employed by Burman for almost six weeks to complete a flora of the plants of Ceylon.

Burman introduced Linnaeus to George Clifford III and Clifford showed them a fantastic book. It was not in Burman's collections and Clifford said he could have it in exchange for Linnaeus who was employed to survey the gardens and the menagerie at Hartekamp. Burman was later commemorated by Linné in the genus Burmannia and family Burmanniaceae.

Burmann published his book with plants from the Cape Colony based on a collection by Nicolaes Witsen, the work of Caspar Commelin and Simon van der Stel. In his book on Amboinese plants, he used the work of Rumphius. For research and as illustrations on plants from the West Indies he used the work of the French botanist Charles Plumier.

The standard author abbreviation Burm. is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.
