and his application was deleted along with it
(those who know him, which is not likely, don't say it)
True Identity is Houyi, the hero that shot down 9 of the 10 suns that was ravaging earth at his time. But because the suns were the son of Dijun, the God of Heaven, Houyi was banished from heaven and become a mortal. In the next few decades, by the request of Emperor Yao, he set off on a quest in China, to defeat all the demons causing mishap to the people. It was during one of this quests that he met and marry his wife, Chang’e. And afterwards, for Houyi's service for the human realm, Emperor Yao bestowed on him the title of Marquis Pacifier of the Country.
Although Houyi cared little about being banished from Heaven, he couldn't bear the fact that he would one day die and become nothing. Searching for a way to regain his immortality, he traveled to the palace of Xi Wang Mu, the Queen Mother of the West, on Kunlun Mountain, seeking her elixir of immortality. The stories of the great hero Houyi were known to the goddess and she took pity on him and agreed to give him the elixir, but with one condition: knowing that Houyi was a skilled architect, she asked him to build her a summer palace in exchange for the immortality drug. He agreed and for many months he laboured and earned it. Before departing, Xi Wang Mu warned Houyi that these two elixir she gave him were the last of their kinds. Houyi planned to spend them on himself and his wife.
When Houyi returned to his home, he found that Emperor Yao had urgent requests for him, and he made haste to respond. Houyi made a vital mistake by not taking the elixir immediately, and leaving them unguarded. While Houyi was hunting monstrous wild boars and dragons terrorizing the land, his wife stayed at home, and for months, he had no news of home.
In her boredom, Chang'e found the elixirs that her husband had left behind, and out of curiosity drank them both. At this momment, Houyi returned and to his surprise found his wife ascending to the moon. Houyi heard his wife's cry for help, tried to seize her but she was already beyond his reach. Chang'e would gain immortality and forever live alone on the moon with only white hares accompanying her.
The grief of the loss of his wife changed Houyi completely. He became violent and changed from a hero welcomed by the mortals to being hated as a tyrant. He was struck down by his own student and stoned to death by people who are angry at his tyrant doings.
(Many credits to Wikipedia)
His wish is to go back to the day when he brought the elixir home and change it so he can live with his wife again.
Catalyst: 1. a stick that is made out of unknown material that is displayed in the local museum right now, which is actually a fragment of the Bow of Houyi
2. something that represent a sun
3. also, he can be summoned from a normal bow, with intention to summon any archer class servant. But if the summoning circle is in a both bright and hot place, it is capable of summoning him. with a burst of steams, that surprisingly take out most of the light and heat away to reveal him.

The ability to effectuate rapid and precise judgments gained through experience and training.

Noble Phantasm: (for all noble phantasms that is not passive or support, its name will have to be called to induce the ability)
神之箭筒 (The Quiver of God): Unlimited Arrows
Rank: C
Type: Support
The quiver that he uses when he was still the God of Archery, which was never striped off him when he was banished from Heaven to become a mortal. After his banishment, even though the arrows he draws out are not the arrows of a god anymore, its effect still remains. No matter how many arrow he draws out of it, it will never be empty. (It will only replenish normal arrows, special arrows such as Wang Shu will not be replenished)
后羿神弓 (The Bow of Houyi): Hatred of the Dead Suns
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
This technique will charge the arrow (normal) with Houyi’s existence. When it is shot into the sky, the resentment, hatred, and all the others consciousness of the nine dead suns that remain in the air even till this day will gather to the place where the arrow is. Then each will materialize into a fury ball of fire and fall from the sky, devastating the area around the arrow.
望舒 (Wang Shu): The Arrow of Permafrost:
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
This arrow is made out of some unknown material that freezes the air around it, and if anyone other than the owner touches it, will immediately be frozen. When shot, it is capable of homing in on the target so long as the shooter has his eye sight on the target. Anything that comes into its contact will be frozen (about 20mm radius around the contact centre. Only capable of immobilize a servant for a short time). When its job is done, whether it hit its mark or not, it will immediately return to the owner’s quiver. It can also be used as a sword.
望舒 (Wang Shu): The Arrow that Shot Down the Sun:
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Will never be mentioned to Master by its devastating nature. This is the only remaining of the ten arrows specially made by the gods to shoot down the ten suns since even the arrows of the God of Archery is no way near to harming the suns. Originally just to scare off the suns so only one will appear in the sky at one day. But he was raged by the devastation he saw in the mortal realm caused by the ten suns. So he shot them down, one after one, each arrow destroyed after taking out the sun. The last arrow was intentionally stolen/removed from his quiver by the old king who called to the heaven to remove the suns. It is returned to him after he realizes that he needs to leave one sun to give light to the world.
This is the same arrow as the Noble Phantasm above except normally with Archer's mana he is only capable (and only want to) of using it as a B rank Noble Phantasm. But with the power of command seal behind, he is able to induce the true devastating power of the arrow. It is capable of sending whoever struck by it directly to the freezing tomb.
It will never be used to destroy the world.
Personality:
Lone and rebellious – he constantly question himself his series of decisions back when he bring home the elixir which leads to the downfall of his life. He could have told his wife, Chang’e, about the elixir before he went off on his job. He could have taken the elixir with her right there. He shouldn’t have gone mad when she’s gone. He shouldn’t have let the people down. But even with all the ifs from the past, he think that what he had done back there can not be helped. And he will continue to go as he wants. (He will ignore master’s orders if he finds it not to his liking)
When fighting, normally he will not attack the masters since he used most of his life to protect mortal people. but since he was killed by his own people, even though he caused most of the hatred toward him, if a master/servant makes him question himself *i saved the world to let this piece of junk live?*, he will kill the subject with any mean possible.
