History: Wuxian was orphaned as a child and spent most of his time in and out of foster homes. He wasn't a troubled youth but he was rambunctious and had liked to get into mischief, which meant he never really found a family that could keep up with him. But he also knew how to work hard, and was a genius when it came to schooling or skills. He could do just about any job or task you put in front of him. But his tendency to question authority often landed him in detention. But his grades were good so he was on a fast track to any school he could possibly have wanted. But for him, he had no interest in continuing his education. His free spirit and wild ways couldn't handle being contained into a classroom for another four years. Not when he already believed he knew everything he could possibly need to survive and felt like he could out wit any other human on the planet.

So instead of jumping into college, he went straight to looking for work. He had held small odd jobs throughout school and had saved up enough money to survive on his own once he aged out of the foster system. He had been doing his legwork, with making friends and contacts all over the city so that when the time came for him to become a member of the working class, he would be able to jump right in. And so after only a few days of looking, he landed the kind of job he knew would give him the freedom to have fun, while also enjoying some of the excitement of being an honest worker.

That is, if you can call working at a club an honest job. Some might look down on the work or say that he could do better with his intelligence, but Wuxian wasn't looking to be locked in an office all day. He needed that free spirit life, and club life was just that. He started off as a dancer, backup at first until the owners saw just what he could do. So he got moved up to main performer, singing and dancing each night for a nice wage and even nicer tips. It wasn't erotic dancing or anything of the sort. Wuxian was talented enough to be a legit performer and so he got quite the fanbase to the point where the club decided to sell merchandise with his face on it. He could have become famous and rich if he wanted, but again, that wasn't his style.

Once he reached drinking age, Wei Wuxian became an all around man at the club. Performer, bartender, waiter or just plain host. He could go from table to table and talk to anyone in the room, making them feel like they were the most important person in the universe. The money was good, Wei Wuxian had his days off to do whatever he wanted and had made enough friends and contacts in the world to be able to get away with murder if he so chose. But that also came with its share of haters as well. When boyfriends and husbands found out that their women were going out every night to see a playboy perform, or sit with him and have a few drinks, Wei Wuxian's life became a little more dangerous. But being popular means he also made friends with all the biggest and strongest employees in the club and bouncers know to keep an eye on their star. If trouble starts brewing, they are quick to jump in and get him out of a sticky situation.

That free lifestyle means he isn't afraid to sleep with whomever he is attracted to at the moment. He is flirtatious and not afraid to drape himself over someone to tease them or have some fun.

But then one day everything changed and suddenly he was having these dreams. The first one came during the day. Struck him while walking to work. A fire and people dying. It was terrible and apparently it was the start of his new life. Memories of a past life or an alternate version of himself starting plaguing him. He became known as a "Different" by the Bureau that was in charge of monitoring these activities. But information was not very easy to obtain from the Bureau and so all he could do was learn from other Different and bond with them oer the experiences.

He started to get used to things until the powers started. Abilities that he didn't even know hot to control were suddenly his. He could hear spirits everywhere, sometimes so loud that he would get terrible headaches. He could turn plane paper into talismans just by drawing some symbols he didn't understand onto them. ANd then he started to be able to summon spirits. It's all overwhelming and he still doesn't quite understand what to do with them.

He also was given a flute that he has seen in his memories but hasn't dared to use. He knows that nothing good can come from it thanks to what he has seen in those dreams. He stopped going home with strangers because he never knew when there would be a dream that would wake him up in a cold sweat. He has started to tone down some of his more wild tendencies and spends more of his time with other Different instead of trying to explain these strange powers to the regular populace.

During the day he often sleeps late, keeping a pretty regular schedule of sleeping at 3AM and waking at 10AM. Then his days are spent either lounging at home, working out, or trying to figure out these new abilities he has gained.



Personality:Much like his canon counterpart, Wuxian is energetic and mischievous and constantly challenging authority. He likes to stir up trouble and see just how far he can push someone before they want to punish him in some way. He is a skilled drinker that almost seems to never get drunk, or at least is very good at hiding it. Able to drink an entire night away without ever feeling a hangover the next day. He also loves to flirt with whomever he can and that is often how he makes his best money. Women pay to be able to spend time with him, drink with him and just enjoy his company. And sometimes so do the men. Wuxian likes them both equally and enjoys living life to the fullest.

Despite his vices, Wuxian has a big heart and once you have become a member of his very select inner circle, he would die for you. He doesn't like seeing anyone get hurt and even though he is more of a lover then a fighter, he won't hesitate to take someone down if they physically or emotionally abuse a person in front of him. He doesn't take kindly to those that want to pick on someone weaker. But despite that he doesn't just let anyone become completely close to him. Because he never really had a family to love him, he in turn has a hard time just trusting someone enough to let them truly into his heart. So he has never been in love, despite loving his friends to the depths of his core.

Highly intelligent and fully aware of that fact and how good looking he is, Wuxian has a bit of an ego and likes to show off. He's a natural performer and all that confidence really shines when he is on stage. He loves the attention and will often do things or pick fights with people just so he can show off just how smart he is. He isn't just book smart, but also street smart with an overall wisdom of the world that makes him hard to beat when it comes to a match of wits. Tack on that he also knows he looks good with his shirt off and you have a dangerous combination.

Physical description: Same as canon only with short hair instead of long.
