Character Information:
 Xue Shen is a foundling, discovered on the beach by a Shao-Lin Monk in
 Taiwan. He was a strange child, because he was totally bald until the
 age of 12, and he had the strangest green eyes. Every so often, a
 strange light would flare in them and then disappear. When he entered
 puberty at the age of 12, his hair began growing quickly, leaving him
 with a thick head of long silver hair. Since an early age he was
 trained in the art of Shao-Lin Kung Fu, resulting in an incredible
 physique and superior physical abilities.
 At the age of 14, a demon invaded the monastery while all of the
 masters were gone. Unlike the periodic intrusions by lesser creatures,
 this demon was _powerful_. Powerful beyond the capabilities of the
 dozen initiates left in the monastery. Only because of Shen's
 supernatural capabilities was the demon defeated and the monastery
 saved. Previous to this the masters hadn't treated him any different
 from the other initiates. Afterwards, however, the master of the
 monastery took his training in hand personally. The master helped him
 focus his developing powers on areas which would help his martial arts
 training. It was his hope that Xue Shen would become a champion of
 good in a rapidly darkening world.
 At the age of 19 he completed his training and traveled to the United
 States to find his way in the world. Ever the philosopher, he feels
 that his path will become clear to him over time.
 Xue Shen is a 5'10" tall man who weighs roughly 170lbs. He has tanned
 skin from his constant exercise and long silver hair parted down the
 middle. His eyes are deep green and he can make them glowly brightly
 at will, although they also begin glowing when he grows angry. When he
 first arrived in America, he was dressed in a robe and sandals. He
 found that he stood out, to say the least, and since then he has
 changed his wardrobe. Now he wears boots, leather pants, and a
 trenchcoat belted at the waist. He carries an army duffel with his few
 possessions, including his sword.
