Personal history

Xin Pian was born Dusha Niebo to a fairly lavish household in Dawnmere, he and his 7 siblings never really needed to want for much but he was somewhat of an outsider from his brothers and sisters never really forming any sort of strong bond with them. His parents were negligent to the children's emotional needs as they were always out working or socializing, leaving any of the childcare to the house staff. In the earlier years of his life he cemented himself as an outlier from the other children even at his young age he was silent and kept to himself but when he did talk, it was to something seemingly unseen by everyone else perhaps an imaginary friend. Eventually as he grew older he stopped talking to this imaginary friend and became introverted, already somewhat outcast from his siblings for being quiet and strange. Shortly after Dushas 9th birthday his mother began to grow ill which eventually led to her death, this didn't affect young Dusha emotionally as she was absent almost completely from his life and he was too young to follow after his siblings who also were not affected but old enough to seem distraught and be there for their father to try and increase their chances of inheriting his wealth. Thus began his siblings' constant fight to secure being heir, constantly smearing one another and attempting to make themselves look better to their father, which eventually drew attention to Dusha, who being normally ignored by their father and the youngest of them all made him an easy target to eliminate. On one particularly cold day Dusha was taken on some errands with some of his siblings, during which he found himself completely alone in a busy market and being so young he quickly became lost, not knowing his way home he searched for his siblings or anyone that could help, wandering further and further away into the less fortunate parts of Dawnmere. Just as night was about to fall and all seemed lost a large woman appeared and rescued Xin, too tired to say anything he fell asleep being carried in her arms, he awoke the next day meeting his savior Argenthum while on their way to Silverwind monastery. Deciding he would rather stay away from the family who would rather outcast and abandon him he kept his family a secret from Argenthum and chose to start anew.
 
Upon reaching the monastery Dusha met another child of the same age as him and they were both given new names, Xin Pian and Kang Tao. Early life in the monastery for Xin was comfortable, he was given a home and family in the monks as well as forming a strong bond with Kang whom he would constantly try to one up in training to try and prove himself to both Argenthum and Kang. After some time Argenthum began to train Xin and Kang in how to control draconic power to become true monks of Silverwind monastery, Kang whom always had an incredibly strong bond with Argenthum immediately took to this and had a strong connection to this power, Xin on the other hand formed no such connection and seemed like he lacked the capability to do so. This made Xin furious at himself and incredibly jealous of Kang, he had trained just as hard and done everything he was told, why was he cut off from this power, why couldn't he fulfill himself and become a true monk of the monastery. He began to feel outcast again but in this low point Xin began to notice something, a feeling at first like pins and needles washing over him then a voice, a deep growl that knew Xin still as Dusha. The voice told Xin it could grant him the power he sought if he would only serve the voice and perform a few simple tasks it would grant him power rivaling that of Argenthums own, afraid of falling behind Kang Xin agreed and began to commune with the voice in the wilds outside of the monastery through meditation. During this time he became more introverted from Kang and learned of a ritual he could perform to attain this power, all he would need is to find a cave near the monastery, commune with the voice regularly to strengthen the connection between them, and finally a price largely kept secret from Xin but he didn't care, everyday he fell further and further behind Kang so he agreed. After a few weeks of forming this connection Xin, the day of the ritual came and Xin began to meditate in the cave, as he entered a trance he saw the cave light up and noticed a few figures enter the cave, a feeling like strong static took over and then a strong flash and searing heat burst through Xins entire body. Shortly after Xin awoke to find Kang and the monastery monks scattered around him and the cave beginning to collapse around them, he carried all of the unconscious monks and Kang out of the cave and left Silverwind monastery behind not knowing the price he’d paid in exchange for his power.
