We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

Xiao Lian, a 25 year old son of Airmid. He is a farmhand at Happy Garden.

FC NAME/GROUP: Song Jiyang CHARACTER NAME: Xiao Lian AGE/DATE OF BIRTH: January 26, 1999 PLACE OF BIRTH: Wuyishan, Fujian, China OCCUPATION: Farmhand at Happy Garden HEIGHT: 6'0"/183 cm WEIGHT: 135 pounds/61.2 kg DEFINING FEATURES: Not a single scar or blemish to his skin, but his eyes betray a deeper pain. Peridot eyes with a subtle but beautiful golden shimmer like embers. Nearly always barefoot. Neck-length dark chocolate hair. Tall and very thin, nearly emaciated. Oversized clothes/hand-me-downs often stained with dirt and grass.

PERSONALITY: Lian is very much a simple country bumpkin. One is more apt to find him outdoors and enjoying his freedom in the fresh air after being confined indoors for so long. Despite his unfortunate past, Lian is a friendly fellow. Just because he has a bit of a language barrier, only speaking Mandarin and some basic English, does not mean he shies away from communicating entirely; in fact, he is even learning Korean! Wearing shoes is uncomfortable and he is extremely averse to wearing formal clothing; he is more apt to be found barefoot in hand-me-down shirts and jeans, though tends to keep his hands covered by his sleeves. As his healing touch is a passive ability, physical contact is a generally pleasant experience for others, comforting and at times intoxicating. While he may not have physical scars, the emotional and mental scars of his life with Lu Xi are permanent. Outwardly, he seems unfazed by many violent acts when in reality he was conditioned not to react; inwardly, he is screaming–screaming in fear, screaming in pain, screaming in desperation. He would rather endure agonizing torture than allow someone else get hurt, willingly sacrificing himself for the sake of others; his reasoning is that he can heal himself, so there is ‘no real harm’. However, just because he can heal does not mean he does not feel the initial pain or illness. That memory stays with him even if the sensation does not.

Lian is reserved when interacting with people, but his kindness shines through along with a natural willingness to help. Because his formal education ended at age 11, he remains very naïve about many things in the world and is, unfortunately, very much gullible and trusts people far too easily. He has a “heavenly” tenor singing voice, though is very hesitant to sing around people, preferring to sing to the plants who appear to enjoy it tremendously. Though his education is limited, he has no real intention of continuing school but rather looks forward to learning more about the medicinal properties of plants on his own.

HISTORY: Content warning: Parent death, murder, kidnapping, child abuse, exploitation of a minor

Love once existed between a goddess and a clever herbalist in Wuyishan named Xiao Bai. That love culminated into the birth of a son, left with the father who vowed to raise him well while the mother returned to her divine duties. For the first few years, pair lived a happy and rural life. Lian scarcely has any memories of his father, the man disappearing mysteriously when the boy was only three years old. Due to their remote life on the mountain, no one realized the herbalist was missing for nearly a week. His son was found alone, hiding in the pantry, taken in by authorities and subsequently handed off to his uncle who worked as a landscaper at a nearby resort. Knowing his nephew’s divine heritage, Uncle Sun assumed custody and kept the boy’s true nature a secret. Lian lived with his uncle on the property, attended daycare while the man worked, sometimes helping where he could. A couple years later, a group of hiking tourists discovered a badly decomposed body on the mountain and after thorough investigation, was discovered to be the missing Xiao Bai. Judging by the gaping hole in the back of his skull, foul play was immediately suspected. Lian himself had been too young to remember what happened to his father and could only recall the man telling him to stay quiet and hidden in the pantry. Thus, the murder went unsolved. Both brother and son grieved the loss of Xiao Bai, but life continued. Lian and his uncle continued to live at the resort with the boy attending school and helping Sun with gardening; tragedy aside, they were very happy.

When Sun accidentally cut his hand with pruning shears, Lian’s powers were discovered at the age of 11 when, as he was inspecting his uncles fingers, the landscaper’s wounds quickly healed before their eyes. From that moment on, Lian's eyes had a subtle glow to them, a golden iridescence within the irises that brightened when he actively used his abilities. He healed his uncle again a few weeks later when the man developed a cough and cold, cured with only tight hug and a “feel better” from his nephew. Sun insisted the child be very careful who he show his powers to, that they must be kept a secret. He did his best for a bit, but when a guest was kind to him–a guest at the resort–fell off her balcony one night, resulting in many broken bones including her skull, he could not remain idle. Traumatized and without thinking, Lian rushed to the girl and healed her, after which he fainted. Her recovery, however, earned him the title of “miracle boy” and Sun was extremely weary of the newfound attention. Rumors spread; employees and guests alike came to the boy to be healed of their ailments, eventually spreading to the locals and beyond. Sun did not approve of this attention–especially knowing his nephew had a bleeding heart and would not let someone suffer–so he packed up their belongings and moved them to Lushan City in Jiangxi, the next province over. There, Sun was hired as a gardener for a wealthy family, he and Lian taking residence in the guest house. One day, while playing with the family’s son Fu, Fu fell and broke his leg; Lian healed him, but begged that Fu keep it a secret.

Fu did not keep it a secret and told his father Lu Xi. The man then broke Fu’s arm and demanded Lian heal him, which Lian did without hesitation despite his uncle’s protests. Lu Xi contacted the former resort and listened to the stories of this boy who could bring back someone from the brink of death. Lu Xi strangled his wife and demanded Lian bring her back, which he did, resulting in the boy being comatose for a week. When Lian awoke, he was confined to a guest room, the door locking from the outside. His uncle was nowhere to be found…nor were Fu and his mother. All that remained was Lu Xi who demanded the child use his powers like a parlor trick to his guests. Eventually, they would pay Lu Xi with money or favors to have this boy heal ailments of themselves or their loved ones; some clients obtained that “healing touch” by nefarious and lewd methods, ultimately behind a shell of the vibrant boy that once was. Rarely was he allowed time outdoors, but when he was, it was only at night and he spent the majority of it just lying on the ground in the garden which only angered Lu Xi that the boy returned with grass in his hair and stains on his clothes. He spent the majority of the next thirteen years in that guest room…

…until one client told the “wrong person” about this secret miracle boy, a woman who had a knack for rescuing demigods from horrible situations; and that was just what she did, stealing Lian away in the night and bringing him to Mount Phoenix where he would be safe. In this new environment, the “quiet lotus” began to sprout and bud again; it may take some time for him to fully bloom, but he makes gradual progress tending to the land at Happy Garden where he feels most at home.

PANTHEON: Celtic CHILD OF: Airmid

POWERS:

Healing Touch–Naturally able to heal wounds, ailments, and diseases with physical contact, rejuvenating and regenerating cells with a touch; the more serious or grave the injury/illness, the more exhausting it is for him to heal.

Death’s Pause–The ability to resurrect someone who has very recently passed; this is only possible within the first few minutes of a person’s heart stopping and is extremely taxing, resulting in Lian being comatose for no less than a week.

STRENGTHS: Compassionate, resourceful, patient, gentle, resilient WEAKNESSES: Self-conscious, reserved, masochistic, gullible, submissive
