About the Character:

Xian has become one of my favourite characters for several reasons. The first and obvious one is that I've been RPing him for a while, since the very beginning (even though I must admit I wasn't as attached to the character back then). Other reason would be his personality; in most situations all of my characters can become exaggerations of my own personality (hence why in my earlier years of RP I found very hard to play an evil character all the time), but Xian's hasn't changed all that much, and he remains loyal to the intended character concept. When I first sat and pondered about his personality, the first thing that came to mind was a noble lion King, someone everyone would be respected rather than feared. The idea was there, the only challenge was to stay true to it, thing that simply went with the flow. He was always quiet ever since the beginning, and loved his family despite several situations. During his late juvenile years and adolescence he went through a process of self-knowledge where he changed a little, for the good. Ever since he's gotten more self-esteem and determination that helped him to rule later on. He chose wisely a suitable Queen by the name of Nyesha, to whom he is truly unconditional. The guy's been through several odds, but so far nothing has made him fall into a deep depression, for he has faith the gods are with him. With his mate, they recently had eight wonderful children (yes, I know it's a lot but over Sunrise we call it 'the barbary curse', 'cause it seems all barbary parents have several kids) born in this order; Malik, Alitash, Kulula, Sharifu, Sahira, Sahara, Uzuri and Ramses (played by me).

I've been lucky enough to have this one character portrayed by not only me but several other good artists, here's a list of them:
