*Deity They Work For: None for now

Appearance: Xu Qiao is a perceptively handsome Ancient Chinese teenager with a severe and cold air around him. He has very dark brown-red eyes that can appear to be entirely black in limited eye. His lips are more prominent in color than what could potentially be seen as normal for a teenage boy. He has raven black hair, occasionally curly, that lengths halfway down his back. It retains a lot of bangs with his relatively low hairline, which makes it so his bangs need to be cropped frequently, and since he does it himself, they are often left uneven. He usually ties it loosely with a band that’s not rubber, because he dislikes rubber bands. Or, sometimes, he puts it to the occasional bun atop his head, neater than that of Yue Zheng Lian Huan’s hairstyle.

He actually has a pair of dimples that only show up when he smiles, which is really uncommon. In fact, he’s usually serious, with a neutral expression leaning towards frowning at any moment. He possesses two double-eyelids on either eye. Random fact, but he weighs about one hundred and twenty pounds, which is light in BMI.

He retains a darker complexion than his brother, as well as a thinner face and more muscular build, though those in his frame don’t show. He’s about average for his age, about 5’ 8’’. He often seems older than his physical age.

Being a mage, Xuqiao wears long, Ancient Chinese mage robes that are long enough to cover his leggings, kneepads, and high boots. Underneath his torso, he’s usually wearing a fitting tunic, as well as fingerless gloves. That being said, the thumb is covered, likely a smart-aleck aspect of the thumb supposedly not being a finger.

However, unlike the others, Xu Qiao is also more of a warrior, and maybe even leaning towards an assassin’s attire in the fact that he wears a metallic mask (that the narrator needs to design and then specify) covering most of his face and obscuring his features. He also is used to wearing lightweight armor underneath his attire. He can be seen using any sort of Ancient Chinese weapon, such as maces, bows, firearms, broadswords, chain whips, double-edged swords, spears, staffs, fatally efficient with them and his fighting technique. The pieces of armor would be two shoulder pieces, gloved armor, and joint armor, but it’s typically not with his robe/mage outfit, and the joint armor would be quite the pain if he, say, kneed or elbowed them hard.

Personality: A cool-minded strategist and tactician, the mage warrior is thoughtful, considerate, intuitive, solitary, and very smart. He prefers to consider everything, making him seem especially severe and uncaring, and sometimes, in the spur of a moment, slow-acting, because he prefers to not take action unless deemed necessary as well. He is incredibly perceptive, with an extraordinary sixth sense, and he can read others and situations easily, generally seeing the world in a way different than others.

Seeing emotions as his individual weaknesses, the mage prefers to limit feelings to an absolute minimum. This makes him seem extremely dispassionate, calloused and cruel, even, at times when others can’t make an executive decision. Though he prefers to work alone, he doesn’t lack in leadership and teamwork either, as he can use both the strengths and weaknesses of his team to their ultimate advantage, teamed up with the exploiting of the opponents’ weaknesses.

He is very quiet, often spending more time thinking than he would prefer to be talking. So, sometimes he does tend to overthink some simple situations—over-innovative, in a way. Some of it comes from his lack of self-confidence, and then his stubborn persistence, and then, his mysteriousness and seemingly aloof nature. He’s commonly misunderstood by those who have known him, because even as he tries to get along with others, he continues to alternate and conflict between feelings, being as good as he is for controlling and restricting his emotions, making it confusing as to what he’s actually like—cold on day, warm the other—or just make someone feel like he’s lying to them through his actions. Really, though, he’s afraid of being too different from others, which isn’t a very nice predicament.

Despite everything, he is loyal to a fault when someone does understand him, and he’s brutal when fighting for one of those “someone”s, or something he believes in; whereas, it’s hard to obtain his absolute trust for both of these. He does really value being accepted for who he is, and on the contrary, he strongly dislikes being ridiculed and underestimated, especially through denials of his opinion, arguments, and conflict.

He acts different ways with different people. He prefers to not interact with strangers at all, and will seem very distant. His split personality starts shining through at the acquaintance stage, and with his friends, his stern cover starts shredding a bit. Most of the time, he will avoid and ignore hostilities, just as he would ignore an argument. If the other is physically hostile, he will not back down and will probably be very brutal in defending himself. Usually, physically hostile people get beaten up. Verbally, he isn’t as brutal or violent, but he won’t back down if he feels especially insulted.

Finally, though he doesn’t talk much, the warrior seems to like questioning something in detail, and this has the maximum potential of his entire being to become very, very annoying. He believes that there is no actual good or evil in the world, and instead, those cannot be defined, as every person has some “good” and “evil” in them. Xu Qiao’s extremely responsible and protective towards his younger brother, showing his more fun and talkative side around the other. He may believe that it’s better for him to hurt others, than vice versa, for others to hurt him and those he cares for. He kind of needs to pay more attention to himself, though. He doesn’t usually express his opinions and impressions.

*Theme Song(s): TBD

Weapons: Any Ancient Chinese weapon recorded since the ancient times, and any he learns to use. He has a named sword of magical enchants upon it connected to his magical and physical strengths and attributes. He can also use any magical object.

Powers: Xuqiao is a combat and tactical genius, with one of the highest levels of Ancient Chinese magic in his tribe/all the tribes. He is proficient in sealing magic, but like his brother, he specializes with energy magic, being extremely adept in elemental manipulation, as well as manipulating and creating light and dark light, which was previously unseen in Chinese magic, giving him an extent of illusion creations and distortions of imagery, which may be helpful in misguiding his actual location in battle or hiding. His abilities are very adoptable, and his abilities are very superhuman, such as agility, speed, strength, and stamina.

In any case, due to the above not having “light” and “dark” classifications, he has no chance of going towards dark/”illegal” magic. Xu Qiao has a unique trick that others using Ancient Chinese magic cannot do—he can teleport. However, he keeps this mostly secret, so he can use it when time comes. He’s very trained and proficient in it, able to teleport himself freely, and most objects and other beings.

Backstory: He was born approximately 1,000 years ago, in an area of the Medieval Sect largely resembling a place in Ancient China, but more fictional and with magic. Born with one of the highest potentials in magic the magic tribes had ever seen, he grew up with high expectations, practically the opposite of his brother’s upbringing. So, he was often away on missions. However, he still found the time to bind with his brother, and encourage his sibling.

The time for where he was living essentially froze when he was about 14 or 15, but fortunately, he had trained much, and well. While he’s still stuck where they are, he is still awaiting for the day they can be free, hoping to see the world despite everything, and worrying for his younger brother, whilst anticipating his sibling’s visits.

Meanwhile, he’s still training himself mentally for that fateful day.

*Crush: None and not shippable

Other:  His POV color??

He loves durian, he has a panda and tiger, and he hates his mask.
