Jian

Name: Jian (formerly Liang)

Bender Type: Earth

Age: 25

Appearance:



Personality: Assertive and manipulative, Jian maintains a charming image seemingly absent of malicious intent. He hides his true colors with a kindred smile and well-turned diction, displaying a false persona he's been developing for years while in the company of a two-faced crowd. To the passersby on the streets, Jian is but a simple gentleman; a masculine, respected figure who would never in his life be affiliated with the wickedness of crooks or outlaws. Those who know of his true character, however, hardly ever live to to tell the tale.

In truth, Jian couldn't give a single damn about the individuals who go on about their lives. Selfish, greedy, and inconsiderate are all terms that are well-suited to describing his actual personality. To him, there is nothing more sacred than his personal desires and security. He's even willing to sacrifice lives or pawns in order to ensure his name isn't besmirched or attacked. That isn't to imply Jian isn't willing to get his own hands sullied, though. Jian is perfectly willing to personally kill or threaten any pest who dares to perturb or intimidate him, and is surprisingly sadistic while doing so.

Nevertheless, he's cautious and careful enough to ensure no tracks lead to him. He's no fool; he understands overly impulsive and destructive behavior could easily result in him behind bars or worse. That being said, that doesn't prevent him from being criminally inclined.

Behind all the layers that compose this loathsome man, lies a figure damaged and vulnerable. Enduring a series of traumatic events has led to him becoming hardened, but the damage persists, and continues to cause him great discomfort and occasional episodes. As a consequence of his past, he only fully trusts himself, and remains distrustful of others.

History: The Liu Feng name was once a prominent one within the Earth Republic. Jing Liu Feng was a politician renowned for his persuasive tongue and gentlemanly tendencies. To the public, he was a considerate man with a bright mind; someone who wouldn't risk it all for any breed of barbaric habits. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. In reality, Jing was a man of promiscuous taste. Though bound through marriage, he'd always find a way to commit adultery, and favored soiling the family's maids. Clever to a fault, Jing would carefully devise his "pastimes" to ensure all remained unawares; ironically enough, his wife Ming was well-aware of her husband's flings. Nevertheless, she had a reputation to keep and didn't utter a word of the circumstances, in fear of being discredited and emerging as a laughingstock.
