'''Liu'qin Vahn''' is a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He holds the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, fervently following the philosophy of the Order of Obelisk and proving his loyalty everyday as a dedicated member of both the Clan Arcona and the House of Galeres.

== Biography ==
=== Early Childhood ===
Born in the year 12 ABY on the planet of Nar Shadaa, Liu'qin Vahn was the product of a nights passion between two desperate souls. Liu's mother, Mei, worked as an exotic dancer in a crime lord's cantina where she met Benrik, a smuggler and contract thief.

Before his birth, Liu's parents were merely friends who enjoyed each others company however after the child was conceived his father made a proper home for himself and the future mother of his child. Growing up as the son of a professional smuggler and thief, Liu'qin learned much of his father's trade at an early age, from handling and shooting a blaster rifle to the fundamentals of star ship piloting.

[[File:Young_Liu'qin_Vahn.jpg|250px]]

However it was not until he turned 9 that Liu began to exhibit special talents and abilities his father had only ever witnessed once. Liu'qin was Force sensitive. The term was used by the Jedi to describe an individual with a strong connection to the Force but untrained in its use. At times, he was able to tap into his raw abilities to see into the future, however it was a difficult and arduous task and required all of his concentration to summon the will needed achieve this state of mind. Often times the visions rendered to him were random and limited in their detail. Despite this, Benrik saw the potential edge this could give him during his smuggling runs and thus brought his young son with him on most of his contracts.

Liu'qin and his father made a superb team. Liu rarely left the cockpit of his father's freighter, instead he acted as Benrik's co-pilot firing up the the sub-light engines and even flying it initially when they had need of making a hasty exit. Together they completed dozens of successful contracts, until three months before Liu's 10th birthday. Benrik had taken a contract on Coruscant. The objective was to steal 50 million credits worth of spice and illegal weapon modifications from the Black Suns to deliver to his contact on Tatooine. The job went off without a hitch until a security alarm was sprung while Liu and his father exited the Black Sun compound. They were able to make it back to Benrik's freighter but were ambushed by a small squad of raiders patrolling in low orbit as they exited the upper atmosphere of the planet. Narrowly escaping with their lives, Benrik plotted a course for Tatooine to deliver the goods.

==== Tragedy Strikes Home ====
After completing the contract Benrik and Liu'qin made for their modest homestead on Nar Shadaa. Benrik discussed his dis-concern with Mei about the environment they were raising their child in. Several hours passed before the two emerged from behind closed doors, resolute in their decision. It was decided that it would be in Liu's best interest to train in the ways of the Force at the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. Benrik was bound for one more contract before he was able to transport his son to the Jedi Academy to be tested. Though two days before he was to meet his contact on the details of the job the Vahn residence was stormed by Black Sun gangsters. His father was brutally questioned and tortured on the whereabouts of their stolen goods. Refusing to give up the information, Benrik was for forced to watch as Mei was repeatedly raped before having her throat slit. The gangsters then turned to Liu though but before any harm could be done, Benrik confessed and gave up his contact. After checking the validity of his information, the Black Suns executed him.

Their orders were to leave no one alive and they debated for a small time on killing the child. Finally the leader of the goon squad made Liu swear never to reveal their identities. Liu'qin involuntarily agreed and the man pistol whipped him in the head, rendering him unconscious. He woke up the next morning in a medical facility where he was questioned by the officials but revealed nothing. A week past and the authorities were unable to get so much as a word out of the boy. Finally they turned him over to the Jedi who had presumably found him amongst his families corpses. Despite his curiosity, Liu forced himself to restrain from asking the Jedi what had happened after he was knocked out and why the Jedi had showed up when he did. The two studied each other for a moment in silence before the Jedi spoke, telling Liu he was to take him back to the Jedi Academy to receive training in the ways of the Jedi. The journey was long, or at least for a 9 year old boy who had nothing to do but sit and think. Once they arrived on Yavin IV, the Jedi Knight escorted Liu to the temple's council chambers where he revealed the child to the council for approval to be trained as a Jedi. Though they were reluctant to approve the boy's training at first, with so few Jedi in their ranks they were left with little choice.

Summary of meeting and being accepted into Master Blank's tutelage

[[File:Liu'qin_Vahn_Jedi_Padawan.jpg|250px]]

==== A Grave Situation ====
A murder within the Order occurs Liu'qin an his Master investigate

==== Investigating the Black Sun ====
All clues lead to the black sun and the killer of Liu'qin's Father.

==== Peace is a Lie, There is Only Vengeance ====
Against the Jedi code and his Master's insructions, Liu'qin slays all Black Sun mercilessly, both the armed and unarmed even those who had surrendered. Facing his father's killer he took great pleasure in torturing the man, cutting off one limb at a time before finally severing his head.

==== Forbidden Passions ====
Though the rules of the Old Jedi Order on laws of love and marriage weren't enforced, extreme emotional attachments were still taught to lead to jealousy and the Darkside. Liu'qin had such feelings and relations with a fellow Padawan within the Order.

==== The Betrayal ====
Still greatly shaken by the events that took place on Coruscant, Liu became even more cold and distant. Despite avenging his mother and father's deaths, revenge did not heal the wounds he had buried so deep for so long. His master finally confronted him about it after making the connection with the crime lord Liu had dismembered, and the murder of Liu's family some 17 years before. With every word his master spoke, Liu felt as if he was being forced to go on the defensive, as if he was meant to admit he had done something wrong. While he felt no disdain for his mentor specifically, Liu'qin experienced a rush of adrenaline and finally all of his emotion he had allowed to build up over the course of his life exploded from him.

In a fit of rage, Liu'qin drew and ignited his Lightsaber and leap to his master to close the gap. His master hesitated for a brief moment before grabbing his own Lightsaber hilt. He went to ignite it but was caught off guard. Just as Liu landed in front of his master, his blade severed the instructor's hand. His hand fell to the ground, Lightsaber still in its clutches. Fluidly Liu'qin then wheeled back and drove his blade deep into his mentor's chest with a reversed lunge. Slowly he pushed it further into his chest, creating a gaping hole in the front of his torso, exiting his upper back. Several other Padawan's were present at the time and Liu knew that if any witnesses were able to place him at that location at the time of his master's death, he would be found out.

His master's corpse slumped to the ground just as Liu raised his head slightly in the general direction of the other four Padawans. They too instinctively drew their own Lightsabers. Liu slew the first two with relative ease however the last two left him with disfiguring marks on his face and body. The heated battle between the three Force users was intense.

Forced to resort to the Darkside for the sake of survival, one of the Padawans threw a flurry of lighting bolts at Liu'qin. Burning and scarring his face, head and upper body. At the same time the other Padawan swung vertically downward, aimed at Liu's outstretched arm, severing it at the elbow. Liu'qin quickly retrieved his Lightsaber from his severed hand using the Force. Holding the hilt in his left hand, he re-ignited his Lightsaber just in time to parry his opponents attack. He then followed up with a counter attack of his own. Telekinetically, Liu'qin began to choke the Padawan standing directly in front of him. After the young man had suffered enough through lack of oxygen, Liu'qin spun around, performing a spinning back kick, hitting the young man with his heel, square in the jaw. The force of the kick was so great, it snapped the young Padawan's neck. As the third Padawan hit the floor dead Liu began to walk aggressively yet casually towards the last Padawan. She swung vertically upward which Liu'qin had not anticipated, the tip of her blade split his right eye rendering it useless. He was taken back by the pain but only briefly. He forced his way past her defenses and drove his Lightsaber vertically through the bottom of her jaw, exiting the top of her head.

Knowing there would be no recovery from this massacre, knowing he would forever be hunted Liu'qin Vahn left quickly with only a few essential belongings. He made it as far as the star port before being stopped buy blaster armed security guards, forcing him to kill them before stealing a small shuttle and making his grand escape into the Galaxy. He knew that he could never stay in one place for very long, ever again. So with little in the way of choice, Liu'qin headed for Tatooine to get in touch with his father's old contact.

== Appearance & Personality ==
=== Physical Appearance ===
Liu'qin Vahn has always been gifted with a rigid, athletic body, which complements the height of 5' 9" at which he stands. His skin is pale and his face and body wreathed with scar tissue behind which, lies dead nerves and atop which lie half faded markings of a pure blooded Sith. His eyes; which were once brown, have since turned a blazing Red-Orange just shortly before joining the Dark Brotherhood. Though Vahn has not been capable of growing hair atop his head for many years he still remains able to grow facial hair which is as sable as space itself. He has fashioned his beard with a strip of hair at the middle of his chin and two long waxed and curled patches of hair separated on either side above his upper lip.

=== Apparel ===

Liu'qin wears a black padded leather jumpsuit under matching black knee length outer-robes with tassels and a large hood. He wears a darkened durasteel chest plate with matching pauldrons, gauntlets and boots. Over the outer-robe Liu wears a black ankle length, short sleeved over robe with a larger flowing hood. He is rarely seen without wearing a well fitted helmet made of darkened durasteel alloy, usually worn under the over-robe's hood.

=== Personality ===
Though callous and hard on the outside, Liu'qin still clings to some of his former Jedi teachings. However, he is a recluse by nature, neither social or talkative unlike many of his peers in the Brotherhood. Vahn cares not for camaraderie or friendship but instead prefers to work on his own, constantly testing himself to keep his edge in combat to continue performing at the peak of his physical and mental capabilities. Results and outcome are his only concern. Over the course of his life Liu'qin has bottled his rage, storing it for battle, turning it into a weapon of its own. He seldom speaks, preferring instead to observe, though when the occasion arises that he needs to break his silence his voice can be described as calm yet firm, both confidant and wrathful.

* The Surname: Vahn (Pronounced: Von) comes from a mix of Van (as in: Chevy Cargo "Van") and Khan (which means: King) as in Genghis Khan: the Conqueror of China and first nomadic ruler to unite the Mongolian Steppe Tribes several thousand Years ago.
* Liu'qin's beard is styled after a Fu-manchu though with a few variances.
* Vahn's physical build is inspired by Bruce Lee, as is his facial appearance (before falling to the Darkside). His martial prowess both in armed and unarmed combat were also inspired by Bruce Lee.
* Liu's loss of arm is greatly inspired by Anakin Skywalker's. Though I doubt few whom have a cybernetic arm could say theirs was not in some way or another.

=== Facts About Me ===
In real life I am:
* Just as much a medieval history and swordsmanship enthusiast as I am a Star Wars fanatic.
* A Hobbyist who enjoys crafting Lightsabers as well as Medieval Armour for fan films and full contact sparring (respectively).
* Working on several Machinima Movies and Youtube Series' as well as Live action short-films of both Star Wars and Medieval Fiction.
