Character Reference/History: MDZS version here

Baoshan Sanren was a name known throughout the cultivating world. However, all that was really known about her was that she lived in a mountain away from the rest of the world, still living when so many others were gone. It was also known that she took abandoned children to be her pupils. Xiao Xingchen was one such child. All of her pupils were to make a vow to devote their lives to cultivating. They were to stay to the mountain and out of human affairs. To break this vow meant never being able to go back to the mountain again and being forced to fend for themselves in a mortal world that they would barely understand.

Being young and idealistic, Xiao Xingchen was one of the very few pupils who broke this vow. He wanted to save the world. And at the age of seventeen, he quickly made a name for himself in that world literally overnight. Xiao Xingchen was talented after having such an excellent teacher and a decent person to boot, and many of the larger sects invited him into theirs. However Xiao Xingchen didn't want to depend on a sect, nor did he care about bloodlines. His wish was to build a new sect with his friend Song Lan who had similar values.

When cultivators and minor clans started being murdered, Xiao Xingchen volunteered to capture the killer, Xue Yang. He tracked him for two weeks, finally catching up with him at the Yueyang Cheng Clan's manor, where Xue Yang had massacred dozens as part of his own personal revenge. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had also arrived as a part of their own search for the yin iron.

After pleading guilty in front of him, Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen fought. Xiao Xingchen was able to get the best of him with the help of the others and the arrival of his friend, Song Lan. It was enough for the murderer to be captured. Xiao Xingchen entrusted that Wei Wuxian and party would see to it that Xue Yang received justice. There they parted company, but not before Xue Yang made a promise that they'd meet again.

And being the feral cat that he is, Xue Yang really did escape and avoid justice. And his revenge on Xiao Xingchen was terrible, not by targetting him - but by targetting Song Lan. Xue Yang massacred Baixue temple where Song Lan learned cultivation. He also blinded Song Lan with poison. When Xiao Xingchen found him, being Xiao Xingchen, he traded his own eyes for his friend's. But Song Lan, still grieving, lashed out at him.

Xiao Xingchen started traveling the world as a lone, blind cultivator, killing monsters and exorcising evil without asking for anything in return. It's during these travels that he met a young girl named A-Qing who pretended to be blind in order to scam people. After being kind to her and defending her against a man who discovered her theft, she began traveling with Xiao Xingchen as well. The two later discovered a gravely injured man whom Xiao Xingchen took to their less than desirable coffin home in Yi City. There, the three have lived as a strange sort of family for years.

The man that Xiao Xingchen saved is Xue Yang, and not everything is as happy as it seems. Unfortunately, Xiao Xingchen is literally blind to the evil tricks that he's been playing.

Personality: Not an original character.

Powers/Abilities:
cultivation - Using the golden core that he has built inside of him, Xiao Xingchen can use his spiritual energy along with his sword to deal with ghosts and baddies. It benefits him as well, making him slightly stronger, faster, and more resilient than those who don't practice this. He can also use this energy to heal and make talismans (of paper or in the air itself using this energy) for various other things such as making fire, protective wards, etc. He is basically a sorcerer with excellent swordsmanship and nice hair.

Inventory:
Shuanghua - Xiao Xingchen's intricately designed sword, which has the ability to point out corpse energy. It's this and his other sharp senses which still allow him to night hunt even after he's blind.
