Trials & Tribulations
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.

Character Trivia
- 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.
