BLOODSTAINED GOLDLEAF: Leader of the Zhen Clan
"You twisted the thorn but you made me brighter"
Leader of the Zhen Clan; a longstanding clan of legendary assassins. Zhen Xunsu lives up to his family's reputation as an efficient killer, but he is more than a bloodthirsty murderer. Zhen Xunsu is a single father to his now-adult daughter, Zhen Min, and is often the responsible voice of reason among his wild and deadly family.
Zhen Xunsu is an intelligent but anxious individual, filled with worries for his family and easily set off by small things. He's gotten very good at keeping a calm exterior since he can't do anything about how he feels on the inside. He is also a sentimental individual with a lot of love for not only relatives but also friends and the well-being of society in general. He is passionate and, at his heart, kind.

Expertise
Martial Artist
Zhen Xunsu has honed his skills over years and is capable of many incredible things, but his bodily strength and expertise is more grounded. That said, he is an exceptional martial artist with quick reflects and impeccable instincts. When he gets up close, he is trouble, even for master cultivators. He is exceptional in both hand-to-hand combat as he is with weaponry. To add, he will use underhanded means if it the results are in his favor. Keep in mind: He has sharp, clawed paws for hands.
Twin Fu; Hook Swords
Zhen Xunsu is adept with most weaponry and can be dangerous if he so much as gets a table leg in his hands, but his favorite weapons are a pair of hook swords forged from the remains of a fearsome demon. There's an eerie quality to these blades and one can immediately tell they're not normal steel weapons; they like carved and alien-like insect parts. They are venomous, causing local tranquilization and numbing. Zhen Xunsu tends to only use these in difficult battles as they aren't actually suited for a quick, quiet kill.
Qualities of a Sable
He is a sable beastfolk and shares many qualities with the creatures. He has an especially keen sense of smell and hearing, a natural adeptness to climbing and balance even while drunk, high flexibility even with age, and a fur coat that can weather even the coldest conditions. Equally, he has poor qualities associated with sables, such as seasonal shedding and a large appetite.
Poison Expertise
The Zhen Clan has an expertise with making and handling poison/venom, picking and crafting the perfect variety for any job. The poison is planned in advance and not made on the fly, and as such, Zhen Xunsu only ever carries what he intends to use for the job (if any). If he expects a fight, he may have poison-tipped weaponry but usually what he carries is subtler. Since there's always an inherent danger with handling poison/venom, Zhen Xunsu always carries an applicable antitode as well, assuming one exists and is easily bottled.

About
Appearance
Zhen Xunsu is a sable beastfolk with a dark brown coat that darkens at the tips and has a bright golden marking on his chest in the shape of a leaf. With age, more of his fur is greying, but is most prominant on his muzzle and fingers. The hair on his head is somewhat human-like, and is a very dark brown with strands of grey in the mix. His scleras are bright yellow but his irises are black. He has large paw-like hands with exceptionally sharp claws.
Covered in fur makes nudity significantly less revealing for someone like him, but Zhen Xunsu wears clothes no less than any average human does. He does not like being without. He tends to wear black with silver or gold accents, and on lounging days, he wears a series of silver bells on his waist and off an ear in order to alert others to his presence. He tends not to like clothing with flowing sleeves.
His stance is often held high and composed. He knows how to present himself. While short, he demands respect with an unwavering glare. This is an outward appearance that doesn't usually match his chaotic and fretful heart.
Overview
Zhen Xunsu is the eldest of his siblings and was always meant to take over the Zhen Clan and his family of assassins. He was trained since the moment he was capable of walking to become a finely tuned killing machine. Matched with a sharp wit and a calculating, patient disposition, he very easily falls into the role he was born for. Even so, the role is not without its bumps, even for the best and Zhen Xunsu has a lot to worry about.

Zhen Min
[ Daughter ]
I adore her, of course I do.. That doesn't mean she isn't trouble! I think she would have been less of a handful if I kept her close, but even if this is harder for me (and her), I think the path I've put her on will lead her to a much better life.
