It’s the same person. That Awakened version of him was during the RoTK period. After coming to Altered SIN he suppressed most of his powers so he wouldn’t cause too much attention from the soldiers. And for the most part of the story he will be in this version instead, starting out as 3*, and eventually 4*, and then his Awakened version during the Final part.

At this point I haven’t thought of writing a human character to accompany him, but since I haven’t decide what to do with Liu Bang yet, perhaps I could make him a partner of Zhao Yun. One thing for sure is that there are more heroic spirits to be revealed as the story progresses, so far I count 5 more protagonists and 4 more antagonists... @_@

Ahahaha, of course his entire body is Guts. ;D But it’s for the effective gameplay as well because most of the battles for him are solo and eventually there’ll be STRONKER enemies so give him a situationally permanent Guts is necessary, it’s also a small challenge for player to make sure his NP gauge is always high up.
