Character Development

While the only characters who have a pertinent role in the Jade Emperor myth are Yu Huang and the demon, the high Gods also make a small appearance.

Yu Huang (The Jade Emperor)
Yu Huang is the main character of the myth, which is centered around his life. Throughout the tale he grows and develops.  At the beginning he is just a baby without any purpose, but as he ages, Yu realizes the importance of following the Tao.  He becomes an inherently good person and begins a life of servitude.  After he also spends an eternity in a cliff meditating, Yu Huang develops a stupendous intelligence and powers.  As for his physical features he has long black hair and a mustache.





The Demon
In the myth the demon is a super powerful being that defeated the gods.  It is quite apparent that the monster must be incredibly strong and skilled.  While there isn't any direct evidence for the demon's physical appearance, it might be something like this.



The Gods
At the end of the myth all of the gods proclaimed that the Yu Huang should become the ruler of all deities. The most important of the gods was the Three Pure Ones.  They are the divine trinity of the Taoist religion.  Their titles are Jade Pure, Upper Pure, and Great Pure.  They are believed to be manifestations of the legendary Lao Tzu.
