Jīn Xuè [金㞽]

  + Optimistic + Friendly + Fun-loving + Adaptable
  - Dramatic - Disorganised - Lazy - Manipulative

On the surface, Xuè is an optimistically flamboyant individual. He likes  to be center of attention in any positive way possible. He likes to  make friends and can adapt to many different situations. He is always  down to play around whether it be chess or pranks.  He always seeks out  the fun. He can be extremely lazy when it comes to things he isn't  interested in, like studies or cleaning, and is rather disorganised.  He's the type to be loud and dramatic about not wantin to do these  things.

Underneath, he is observant and manipulative. He doesn't  go out of his way to use this for bad things, simply to help himself out  in tricky situations or for the mutual benefit of everyone. Sometimes  he feels empty, unsure why he can't feel the emotions others do, and so  he must act out what these emotions are like to keep his own  "brokenness" to himself. His empathy is also lacking, but he can read a  situation to tell what kind of expression or action he should be taking.

History: 
Jīn Xuè was born to a small Cultivation family under  a larger sect. His family consisted of his parents, close relatives and  his three siblings; his older brothers and his younger sister. Life was  peaceful until it came to his father. His father was very strict on the  boys of the family and would discipline them with the whip when they  didn't answer correctly, or if they were out of line.

It was  under this stressful situation that he was taught the four arts, martial  arts, and other knowledge. He barely passed most of the history-based  information, leading to his frequent discipline. Around this time, he  started to realise his emotions were not normal. His family had a dog  that the other children grew very fond of. Jīn Xuè as well really liked  the dog and when it passed away, everyone mourned -- except himself. He  realised deep inside he didn't feel anything, so he forced himself to  act as if he had for fear he'd be hit.

It came as a relief when  the larger sect came to take in disciples. He was sent away from home  and lived a more peaceful life under the sect. Even learning wasn't as  torturous and he avoided getting into real trouble to avoid punishment.  He felt more at home with the other disciples then he did in his own  home and he stayed there for a few years. He became a favourite of the  sect leaders and was even granted the sect's family name.

It was  late one night when war began. The sect had been stealthily hiding  illicit means of cultivation: Human experimentation and sacrifice. It  came as a surprise to all the guest disciples, including Jīn Xuè. This  was his first real taste of fighting and it required him to fight for  his life. The sect was burned down, and everyone had fled by the end of  the night. Jīn Xuè found himself far from home in his escape.

Years  went by and he took on a new life and identity working for an  entertainment group. He learned how to participate in acting and made  extra cash at night at local brothels. Life was not as easy as it had  been, but he stayed optimistic about it all.

Staying in an Inn, he was assassinated in his sleep, never getting to know who had done it.
