||Greedy & Indecisive -
He has a certain love for money. Not because a past of poverty and hunger, certainly not, but more in the sheer believe that money gets your anywhere. His father was moved by money, his mother excessively used money, it has been his environment that geared up by the sound and promise of money. You win with money, you spread fear and power with money. You move people with money. In that sheer believe of the power of money Qiu An has become a greedy soul ever since he started to defy his only living parent and decided to join the rebellion. Money is what will give him a pass to the truth, money shall be what will overthrow these standing on top of them, trampling over them and what will, if he is not careful, shall overthrow him. Along with his experiences in gamble houses and his many swindling techniques taught since young Qiu An has become someone who disregards morales if that will give him access to his goal.
However, despite his love for money the young male isn't resolved inside of his goal. Though he may take his father responsible for the death of his mother he is reluctant upon shaming him. Even if he wishes to find out what had turned his father into the man he is today, unashamed to use lives for his own research and what it is that supports him, there is a fear sparking inside of Qiu An that tells him that his life might turn out to be a full blown lie. Saddening it is, since his commitment could be considered as half hearted. His unresolved feelings that is mostly caused by fear will cause the young male to be unable to choose what side he truly shall commit towards to. The safe place he grew up at? The hunger he never experienced and leaving his mother's death aside as if it was merely part of life? Even with the knowledge that there is something suspicious going on within the Republic Qiu An feels extremely reluctant to leave that all behind at once, not knowing what there is left when he finds out the truth.
||Cheerful & Vengeful -
Smile on his face, Qiu An always makes sure to keep his mood up. Trying to smile through all days and moments. Carefree he may seem, as if there isn't a worry at all, no dark clouds hanging above of him, however his charming smile is more of a wall of defence. A way of distancing himself from others, as if nothing bothers him and there are no thoughts overruling his mind. Almost childlike and innocent, but may Qiu An be inexperienced on some parts he is knowledgeable on his own ground. There is some sense of maturity within the young male as he knows when to be serious when needs sees to be.
There is a but to his cheerful side though. As kind he may come across with his gentle smile and jolly nature there is a vengeful side inside of him. Beating on the sound of revenge once he finds himself to be unrighteously treated. The fact that he is seeking out for a way to repay his father for his sin proofs it. There is something inside of him that makes him unable to forgive, unwilling to let go of that act that shattered his face, hurt his pride or crumbled his heart. Of course he needs to be careful, for vengeance never pays well, but if karma is unwilling to hurt, Qiu An is more than willing to hunt down his prey himself. Unafraid to face his enemies himself and see them fall with an unspoken fear written inside of their eyes.
||Careful & Conservative -
Qiu An is far from an impulsive person, always carefully thinking out his plans before he conducts them. He isn't going to rely on good luck or coincidences, but on solid matters that he can predict and cause to happen. He rather plays it out save than having to rush into the situation without overseeing it first. As it can be said Qiu An is predictable in that insight, trying to gather facts first before he plans and planning before he acts. For the impatient it might be viewed as tardiness, but for Qiu An it is a moment of peace. Easing down his mind with a solid construction he can lean upon and to charge his goal with. Nothing out of the ordinary, just the involvement of a little money and deceit, but still with the insurance that success is at his side.
On the other hand Qiu An is also one for traditions, holding up old fashioned beliefs and values in life. He isn't one to like change, finding them often to be more bothersome and their toll too high for what they are worth. Truly he supports the growth of the soul, however as change often goes hand in hand with the disappearance of what was once there everyday inside of their lives he finds them hard to accept. The slowly degrading respect for the wisdom spoken by their ancestors and their values and principles that had once been passed down, forgotten. Qiu An finds himself to be troubled by the new mindset of humanity as they are advancing and forgetting about the time they had together, cause inside of his mind history had always been the best. Inside of his opinion the past had all been better than what was to come now. The unsure future that is promising to break apart so many beliefs that he had held and followed as an innocent fellow in childhood. It is more out of fear that Qiu An is against change instead of a believe rooted deep inside of him, an insecurity that leads to his indecisiveness as what is truly for the better of the world. The way they are now, the past or the unknown future where the truth may be revealed?
||Deceitful & Benevolent -
Though there may be insecurities residing inside of Qiu An and though may he be a cheerful lad without much experience and indecisive on what he truly wants, he knows how to secure them away from others. After years of being taken along to gamble houses with his mother the young male had learnt how to put on a poker face. Slowly making some money himself as well. Not only did he become an excellent swindler who knew his tricks to win the game, but he had also learnt how to fake several expressions on his face. To make sure that he won't be read through and this has helped him in the act. It also helps him in his revenge when he feels annoyed or humiliated by the other. Fully aware that one has to keep friend and foe close by his side if he wished to get back at them, deceiving them that he doesn't mind it or tolerates them, liking them, but yet the truth might be that he is looking for a hole inside of their act, waiting to crumble them.
However, most of the time Qiu An isn't half the bad person with his vengeful acts, deceit and swindling money. He does possess a heart after all and might feel a little guilty if he feels that he went too far in his act. Just another side of his inexperience despite thinking that he might have seen all evil in the world. Who deceives gets beaten in their own game and it wouldn't be the first time that Qiu An offers up his own hand for help, but gets left alone with nothing or less. It is just another part of his personality that he wants and wished to help another. A trait he once believed his father to hold as well, but was gravely disappointed after the passing of his mother.
||A young doctor makes a full grave -
"When I grow up I'm going to become a doctor, like dad!" determined eyes shone right at his peers, hot with the ambition to fulfil his declaration. Inside of the city more and more people have been falling ill. Falling prey to the flu that was normal to come around this time of the year. However, with the harsh winter and the sudden appearance of the flu many were fighting against their lives. His father was out daily, making late nights as to visit his clients and give them the right medicines. It was odd, like Qiu An had heard his father mumble from time to time. Him stroking his beard absent-mindedly and frowning slightly to himself. However it brought in the money they needed and thus the doctor paid his visits and made sure to check out on the elder at least once a day. No one could beat doctor Wang, father of Qiu An and that was why they all needed him. Or so his son liked to believe, proud of the man he called his father, helping and saving lives while maintaining a healthy family himself. It was only to be expected that his son was to follow his father's steps. The desire to make his own living in the same field as his honourable father did.
However as the young boy had spoken a voice had appeared behind him. A woman's voice that immediately caused the bright smile on his face to disappear. "Qiuuuu... Aaaaaannnn!" a slurred voice called out for him, a limp arm covering his shoulder as his mother slumped over him, clearly too drunk to stand on her own legs. Giggling a little his friends took a few steps back, pinching their noses in a slight disgust as the smell of alcohol was, like any other day, very strong and apparent. "Mother." the boy sighed, a slight blush of embarrassment on his face as he caught her gently in his arms. Supporting her as he turned to go back to their house. He didn't want to know and yet he already knew just by looking at the state she was in. How and why she turned out like this was unknown, but Qiu An felt ashamed just by looking at her. The gambler, the drinker, his mother was no where near the perfect example of how a mom should be, but that had been one day been different.
"Chuuu Aaah!" again his mother slurred his name, this time leaving the correct pronunciations behind as she slid down to the ground. Her legs finally giving in once her feet had touched the floor of their place. Giggling to herself the woman hiccuped, covering her mouth in a quasi-surprised manner as she threw out a small sack of gold. "Chuu Aaah!" she called for her son again as no response came from the son, but she didn't seem to care as she let herself fall down to the ground. "Chuu Aaah! Give me water." she demanded, to which she quickly was pleased with as the boy had already brought her the glass. "Sober up mother." he mumbled, annoyed that she had to come out just when he was boasting around about his father. He wanted to tell her to stay away from him, pretend as if they weren't mother and son, but he knew that it was a heartless thing to do. Besides, he couldn't get himself to do so anyway, knowing that his mother would cry herself asleep. "Chuu Aaah." his mother giggled again as she rolled over to her side, staring at the face of her young son with a pitiful look. "Chuu Aaah, mother is soooolllyy." she lulled, putting the glass away without drinking from it, but her voice had dropped exponentially. As if she truly was sorry for something, but tried to hide it. "You will understand someday." she smiled bitterly and just like that, just like every other day went by the woman fell asleep, passing out on the ground and sleeping into a hangover.
It was at that time that Qiu An considered his father a hero he thought of his mother as a disgrace. Ruining and tainting the good image of doctor Wang and his family. Back then at the tender age from childhood to teens he had always believed as such, never intending to look behind that pitiful look his mother had given to him. However it was back at that time as well that he was still a naive and gullible child, having no idea of the true colours of the world. It would be later, much later when he was to understand what the meaning of his mother's acts were.
||Defeat isn't bitter if you don't swallow it -
All father's fault...
An accusation that had stabbed his heart. Clothed in black the young boy was trying to hold back his tears. His father no where to be seen. Once again out to work, leaving his son behind with the funeral of his mother. She had always been physically weak, with her constant drinking and gambling she had brought much trouble upon herself. Her health steadily going back due to the damage she caused to her liver. The flu that had suddenly spread around not helping, demanding its lives daily as many others were suffering from high fevers. The children and elder had it the worst, being the weakest against such outbreaks. Unfortunately it had came to collect his mother as well, leaving him behind after weeks of suffering of high fevers and unconsciousness. While he had been laying next to his mother, trying to fight against his eyes falling close he had heard her mumbled. "His fault..." she would constantly chant it, not speaking to anyone in particular as his father still went out daily to help the sick. It was a wonder that the doctor never caught the flu himself, but Qiu An believed it was because his father was too strong for a flu. The strongest man in town and thus he let it slide off.
until...
He had suddenly felt better again. Still weak, but better than the days before ever since he caught the flu. His fever had gone down and he could eat and stand again. It was all too wonderful, but when he finally had fully recovered he came to discover a very sad find. That morning, when he could walk again Qiu An had found his father inside of the living room. His head hanging low and shoulders slumped. A posture too unlike for the doctor, but he quickly straightened himself up as he noticed his son. "Take care." was all he has said in that deep voice and left. Leaving the now teen behind with his mother. It was only later that he would find out that his mother was laying on her dying bed. Fighting her last seconds as she was about to reveal the truths.
"All father's fault." were the last words of his mother. Leaving them behind with a huge debt from her gambling, only coming to light after she had died. Her drinking problem was also a much spread gossip as everyone seemed to take joy into blackening the name of doctor Wang. At a first glance one would think that it was his mother who had driven the family to the edge, the income of his father not enough to cover up all of her debts. However, as Qiu An grew older and understood more he slowly came to find that it was his father who had driven her to an edge. His mother only acting like she did as in a last act of revenge. They didn't have the heart to divorce, but perhaps that it would have been for the better if they had left each other before death had come to get his mother.
Alas, it wasn't the case and his father left home even more, leaving the boy alone inside of their empty house. Though he had an education to follow he still felt empty whenever he returned to the place. He could try to avoid going back home as much as possible, however after a while and months of strolling around it soon grew boring. The boy had no idea what to do, so young and most of the time avoided by the other children thanks to the infamy his mother left. His father was still a most respected doctor, however for him, to Qiu An that image has long since been tainted. It was ever after his mother's death that he had changed. Still he didn't fully understand anything at all, however, he could investigate and nose his way into it. Only had that to wait until he was over his initial shock. 'Till then he felt too heartbroken to try to believe that his father was at fault of the dead of his mother.
||With money one commands devils. Without money one cannot even summon a man -
What had been exactly father's fault? Once his mother had been a graceful young wife. That he had heard from his grandparents who had passed away with the flu as well. Why she suddenly changed was a question they all would like to see answered. Why she had spoken these last words were a question to Qiu An as well. The distress written inside of the eyes of the woman when she was soon to die. She had tried to say more, but was left unable to do so and let go of her last breath. The way his father had reacted to the death of his wife had been cool. Qiu An had received almost no reaction from his father and that had pained him. Was it then really true that it was his father who had driven his mother mad?
It didn't matter how much he pondered over what he was told. To the young boy it was much too absurd, much too unbelievable that his father would dare to sink that low as a doctor. Testing out their bodies with all kind of substances that didn't belonged inside of their bodies. Some making them ill, others placing them in great pain. If it wasn't for the fact that Qiu And had approached his father with it directly he would have never believed it or heard the full story to it. His father was a doctor send from the devil. Out on the mission to use humanity as his guinea pigs. A mad scientist who didn't understood the human morale and all how he had answered to his son was; "I've a family to feed.". Without guilt. Without remorse. It was too disgusting to know that his father dared to experiment on an healthy body to find out the after effects of his drugs and medicines. To know what effects new viruses, bacteria and mould had on their bodies. All for the sake of science he said. All for the sake of his job.
And surely such an act should be subsidised by some greater group, right? As Qiu an had initially thought that he lived inside of the perfect world where peace had been ruling their grounds, brought by Avatar Korra, he now knew that it was a sinister place of illusion. His mother died by the hands of his father, having purposefully spread around the flu in their neighbourhood and hoping to see what the result were of his conducts. Surely his father was working under some sort of authority who allowed such acts. However what powerhouse was mighty enough to allow the doctors, these who should be healing them, to conduct experiments on them instead? It was soon that the young male found himself to the believe that it must be the government involved. Though how and why? Qiu An needed prove to be able to reveal his points. He needed the truth as to find out what exactly was happening and why his father would put aside his morals as a doctor for the sake of money.
||Father, Doctor Wang -
Qiu An has been seeing his father only a little after his mother passed away from sickness. The doctor completely immersed himself inside of his work, making early shifts and coming home late with stacks of paper. At first Qiu An thought that this was his father's way of 'moving on'. Hoping that he soon would spend some time for himself and family. However, their relationship only grew more strained the more suspicious he became of his father after his mother's last words. Wondering what it could mean. The last blow to their relationship was the revelation that the doctor had been practising his theories on his clients, using them as mere experiments and writing down his conclusions. Of course the immediate suspicion was that his father had something to do with his mother's death. A sin he could never forgive and too disgusted to live with any longer in silence.
||Mother, Lady Wang - deceased
He had been so ashamed of his mother when she was still alive. Despite the many stories that she used to be such a genteel and mannered lady, Qiu An just could not view her in such a way. Not being able to remember how she had changed in the shameful drunk she was now. An addict of gambling and alcoholic beverages and it was inevitable that a young Qiu An wasn't taken out on one of her many tours to gamble. It is for that reason that Qiu An learnt how to swindle money from these gamblers. However though there was shame he still cared greatly over his mother, hoping that she would one day make the stories come true and become the role model she was supposed to be. Alas, she died before she could prove herself again and it was then that the suspicions and strained relationship with his father started. Finally understanding what it was that made his mother act up in such an disgraceful manner.
