If you're curious about the title, that's what the banners hanging off of Baojia say. :3
Yes. Baojia. Not a new character, an old one. He just used to have a different name (he was a foo dog, so I named him "Fu" for a lack of a better name; I finally came up with one later on though). Even then, I mostly wrote about him, because I hate, hate, HATE drawing his mane. I actually slacked off considerably on it, because the damned swirlies made me twitch.
If you're curious about what he is, in his universe he is a fallen god of joy and protection. He was overthrown by a dark, false goddess and imprisoned in rock until the unwitting (and quite reluctant) reincarnation of his former ally--Ming-hoa--stumbled across his "statue." He now acts as the unseen hand (er... paw) of prophecy, trying to set right what he couldn't stop so long ago. He's not too big (about the size of a mastiff) or intimidating (... he's a pudgy red dog. Ooh, I'm shaking), but he makes up for what he lacks in sheer power, intelligence, and his personality.
Well, maybe not personality. He's a bit of an asshole. You'd be cranky too, if you spent five thousand years stuck in the same damned spot. XD

Hoorah ^__^ The Rashashashasha, I'd like to let you know that I really appreciate the effort in these backstories- I'd really like to see/know more of this whole mythology, because it points the kind of depth most art-whores on the tinternet don't bother with.
As far as the pic is concerned, I like it very mooch- I like the stylised curles in his main, I think they are very fun. It is sad youdon't like drawing them :( Spirals are very cool.
The colours are a little washed out though- is that the media you use? I'm thinking photoshop of gimp and a little contrast would do him good.
How can a god of Joy get grouchy? I suppose falling was the first step...

I am very glad you like it; I love giving my characters back stories, even though most people aren't too interested in it. Glad to know somebody is, at the very least. :3
The reason I didn't doctor the colors earlier is because, while my scanner scanned the ink parts wrong, for some reason it scanned the colored pencil parts right. Which doesn't happen very often, so I just let it be. X3
MY SCANNER HATES INK. I have no clue why. >.<
