Background
Xiao Huasheng is a transmigrated being who escaped Foundation containment. The Foundation classified her as Entity-173-1, while she herself remains uncertain what she truly is; she recalls emerging from a statue and cannot provide a definitive origin. 3 46
She possesses Exusiai’s appearance, firearm memories, and fragments of her personality, leading her to describe herself as “half an Exusiai.” She regards those inherited memories as influences rather than proof that she is the same person. 9
After escaping through the Foundation’s Dimensional Gate, Xiao Huasheng fell into Terra and arrived in Lungmen. There she met Exusiai, joined Penguin Logistics, and later became the manager with full control authority over Lobotomy Corporation, with Angela serving as her assistant and subconscious counterpart. 8 12 17
Appearance
Xiao Huasheng is a petite red-haired Angel with a halo and wings. Her appearance strongly resembles Exusiai’s, which initially causes repeated cases of mistaken identity. 9 215
- Long, vivid red hair.
- A visible halo, which causes inhabitants of other worlds to question whether she is human. 216
- A mineral-like, cement-colored outer shell derived from SCP-173; Kongo initially mistakes her for a gemstone person. 215 218
- Often wears tactical gear or a black bulletproof vest, though her clothing is frequently damaged during combat. 8 12
- Her physical appearance is deceptively harmless, causing enemies to underestimate her. 153
Personality
Xiao Huasheng is playful, teasing, and easily amused by other people’s reactions. She often provokes Exusiai, Angela, and other companions with physical affection, jokes, or deliberately dramatic behavior. 9 10 90
Despite her self-centered and lazy tendencies, she has a strong aversion to needless killing. During her Foundation escape, she avoids using destructive weapons against ordinary personnel when possible, and later refuses to sacrifice Lobotomy Corporation employees merely for efficient energy production. 28 151
She is highly adaptive under pressure. Xiao Huasheng can panic when faced with psychological horror or overwhelming opponents, but she consistently finds unconventional solutions—summoning allies, exploiting terrain, using camouflage, or reshaping reality. 26 77 113
Her greatest desire is a peaceful, comfortable life with sufficient food and freedom from the Foundation. This wish repeatedly conflicts with her tendency to intervene when others are in danger. 58 211
Abilities & Skills
SCP-173 Traits
Xiao Huasheng’s body possesses traits associated with SCP-173, including extreme durability and a drastic change in combat performance when she is not being observed.
- Can withstand conventional gunfire and prolonged physical assault with little effect. 7 90
- When she breaks line of sight, her movement speed and striking ability increase enormously. 77
- Can use optical camouflage to deny opponents visual contact and exploit her unobserved state. 77
- Her ordinary physical performance is significantly reduced while an opponent maintains visual awareness of her; against Abel, she compares it to that of an endlessly tireless elite boxer rather than a superhuman combatant. 49
- Her durability is not absolute: sufficiently powerful supernatural forces can injure, restrain, or displace her. 34 77 173
Reality Warping
Xiao Huasheng can alter physical phenomena by consuming energy stored through Lobotomy Corporation’s systems.
- Can enhance her physical power, create abnormal gravity, bind targets with energy chains, and influence crowds’ emotions. 49 66 171 181
- Can repair damage on an immense scale, including breaches within the Webway. 113 114
- Can stop the surrounding environment in time, allowing her to act while enemies are frozen. 113
- Can shape or alter bodies and assist with resurrection, though stable soul transfer is vastly more energy-intensive than creating a physical body. 184
- Directly applying Reality Warping to powerful anomalies drains enormous amounts of energy. 50
- If her energy reaches zero, she becomes a statue and cannot awaken. 16
Teleportation and Dimensional Travel
Xiao Huasheng can teleport herself and linked allies, though her interdimensional movement is unreliable.
- Escapes Foundation containment by exploiting the Dimensional Gate. 7
- Can teleport through Lobotomy Corporation and summon connected employees to her location. 18 121
- Is periodically pulled away from Terra by an unstable three-day displacement cycle. 55 68
- Has travelled between the Foundation world, Terra, the Warhammer setting, and the gemstone people’s world. 34 89 216
Firearms Mastery
Exusiai’s inherited firearm memories make Xiao Huasheng exceptionally skilled with guns from the start. 9
- Can summon firearms, including an MG3 machine gun. 12
- Uses an M4 capable of transforming into an RPG launcher. 15
- Converts Vector into a laser cannon, though opponents who can predict her aim may evade or deflect its attack. 49
- Uses Reality-Warped ammunition to dramatically magnify destructive force. 72 113
- Favors overwhelming ranged firepower when fighting armies, Daemons, or other large-scale threats. 34
Song of the Apocalypse
After studying under the Silent Orchestra, Xiao Huasheng learns to perform and adapt its Song of the Apocalypse. 50
- Can use the song’s psychic effect to immobilize or influence hostile entities. 77
- Improvised a redemptive final movement that soothed the Queen of Hatred and relieved the Foundation personnel’s pain. 78
- Later creates her own song to suppress multiple Abnormalities without destroying them. 152
- The song can affect allies as well as enemies, requiring evacuation when used at full intensity. 77
Lobotomy Corporation Authority
As Manager, Xiao Huasheng holds the corporation’s control authority while Angela handles operations and research. 17
- Can recruit, dismiss, deploy, and train employees. 17 116
- Can access a protected surveillance room and personal storage space. 35 90
- Can summon Abnormalities and use the company’s systems to generate or extract energy. 150
