STRENGTHS

|+ Tricksy |
A shapeshifter and resistant to acids and poisons, Xùnzhi has many tricks up his proverbial sleeve.

|+ Gotta Go Fast |
The serpentine monster combines his natural speed and his Force Sensitivity into break-neck speed which is almost unrivalled.

|+ Hungry Like the Wolf |
Unfortunately for some, Xùnzhi enjoys devouring fellow Acolytes who disturb his slumber, or prove to be an annoyance. Naturally, he is seldom caught - for his own good.

|+ Sly Old Fox |
Years of deceit and a expansive intelligence have manifested into a sly personality and thus he excels in trickery and lies.

WEAKNESSES

|- Don't Touch Me |
A trait shared by all of his kind, Xùnzhi will lash out if touched due to his highly sensitive scaling, meaning that many have lost a finger to his gaping maw.

|- Turn the Radiator on! |
Being cold-blooded, Xùnzhi must stay warm at all times, else he will die. Therefore, his chambers upon Bastion are fitted with specialised heat lamps.

|- Dark Past |
Living a rather pitiful life, Zhi-zhi struggles to let go of his memories, and in turn can often lose focus as his tormented mind slips in and out of painful reminiscences.

|- Lightsaber, what? |
Untrained with a lightsaber, Xùnzhi relies on his unusually attuned Force powers for combat and anyhow, lightsaber would be difficult without a specialised blade which at the current moment in time, he is not at the liberty to construct.

PERSONALITY
Sly, cunning and malicious, the Xykan acolyte is a hungered soul who enjoys nothing more than partaking in acts of thievery, trickery and deceit. Xùnzhi relishes in the scent of fear and confusion on his enemies, often shapeshifting into forms he knows will cause them fear by delving into their mind and dragging out their fears with him, manifesting with some accuracy into them.

Whilst somewhat kind and considerate to those he would deem friends, Zhi is very sensitive to touch, and will not hesitate to convey his displeasure in the form of a quick snap. On the other hand, he enjoys playing pranks on people, and has a very dark, cheeky sense of humour.

APPEARANCE
Despite possessing the ability to change his appearance at will, the beast has only made minor tweaks to his original form, mainly in the way of removing his hind legs in an effort to appear more serpentine, something unusual within his species. His form often mirrors that of a flaming fox; a incinerating golden pelt mixed with sunset orange and the deepest crimson with shimmering scales - each one offering slightest differentiation in colour so that when his coils twists and wrap, it appears that he is ablaze. The feathery mane which stretches along his spine is often black, representing the smoke which rising from his inferno of a body.

Two dangerous eyes rest on his slim face, unblinking and all-seeing, they are a furious orange and decorated with malicious ebon slits which swivel to absorb all they can. Within his agape maw rest rows upon rows of sharpened fangs, each one as white as dazzling light and sometimes spattered with red stains. A black forked tongue rests within this mouth, often slipping out to taste the air and create an image unimaginable to humans as it works in concurrence with his nose, eyes and ears to generate detailed pictures.

Wicked claws rest upon wicked fingers, each one as deadly as the next and designed to tear carnis from bone and to butcher his foes.

Very often, he will make his entire face appear as his skull, completely devoid of flesh.

TEMP. BIOLOGY

• Born to a single mother on Nar Shadaa.

​Xùnzhi's mother was an exotic dancer within one of the many Hutt owned clubs scattered across the moon, and she brought in a steady income to the struggling family. Eventually, they were forced to live inside one of the Hutt residencies themselves, where Zhi would eventually learn Huttese and shapeshift into a more serpentine shape, to fit in.

• Battle of Tuj'as' Palace

​A raid by a rival gang on their home left them homeless, their leader dead and Xùnzhi with a taste for blood, for he and his mother, Gong'Zhu had devoured an unfortunate soul who had wandered into their keep. They wandered the streets, desperate for a shuttle off-world and back to their homeworld.
