Biography
Early Childhood
Born in the year 12 ABY on the planet of Hutta, Liu'qin Vahn was the product of a nights passion between two desperate souls. Liu's mother, Gianna, worked as a hostess in the palace of a prominent Hutt Gangster on the planet of Hutta. It was here she met Zim, a Force Sensitive who ran errands and did small-time jobs for the Hutt. 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 low level enforcer of (Blank) the Hutt, Liu'qin learned much of his father's trade at an early age, from handling and shooting blaster weapons to the fundamentals of starship piloting. When not at home being spoiled by his mother or tagging along with his father on long distant smuggling runs Liu'qin played with what other few children inhabited their city. Growing up in a rough neighborhood on a particularly rough planet, Liu quickly learned to fight and fend for himself.
It was not until he turned 9 that Liu began to exhibit special talents and abilities his father recognized all too well. 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. His father who too, had a modest level of training before the Jedi purge, helped his son foster these talents as best he could. However it was a difficult and arduous task with the limited knowledge he had from his training many years before.
The Blessing In The Curse
Two years after the discovery of his new found abilities, Gianna wished to send her son to the new Jedi Academy for Juniors to be trained properly. His father, knew all too well the feeling of disappointment that accompanied failing the strenuous tasks, having failed the tests and training himself. Zim forbade Gianna to take Liu to the Jedi, desiring to spare his son the same shame and disappointment he had been subjected to.
After Zim disappeared, taking his son with him, Gianna put out a hit contract on her husband to get Liu back. Zim's plans were to get his son as far away from the agenda and ambitions of his wife as possible, though ultimately, he would fail in this. A Mandalorian-Mercenary by the name of Kan'daar took the contract. He tracked Zim and his son to the Shuttleport on Hutta where he confronted them. Zim, who still refused to see reason, was gunned down by the Mandalorian who then took the boy back to his mother. Less than a day later, Gianna personally saw Liu off to the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV to begin his instruction.

The Betrayal
Still recovering from the events that took place at the Black Sun compound on Coruscant, Liu became even more cold and distant. Having a hard time coping with his failed attempt to avenge his father's death. His master finally confronted him about it after making the connection with the crime lord Liu had questioned and tortured, and the murder of Liu's father some 9 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 expected to admit guilt. Liu'qin experienced a rush of adrenaline and finally, all of his emotion he had hidden over the years, all of the anger 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 in the training rooms where Liu had just slain his master. Unthinking, Liu'qin continued his assault on all others in the room.
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 wide open 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.
After coming to his senses, he knew 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 Shuttle-port before being stopped buy blaster armed security guards. Left with few other choices Liu drew his Lightsaber and slew the armed guards quickly and efficiently before stealing a small shuttle and making his escape.
Though he had no specific destination in mind, Liu'qin knew that he could never stay in one place for very long again. So with little in the way of choice, Vahn headed for Tatooine to get in touch with his father's old contact.

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.
