KONG QIU: Kong Qiu (also known as Jia Qiu) is a man of imposing stature, with long black hair tied up with an intricate gold hair ornament. He has a large scar on his right cheek. He wears an intricate black hanfu with red ornaments as a trim, with a red striped pattern down the front left section, beneath the woven rope acting as a sash. He wears a long coat as his uppermost layer, draping to the ground, overtop which is a red scarf with a snakeskin pattern. Beneath his robes, he wears a matching pair of pants and dark boots, which feature thick red laces fastened into a ribbon. In combat, he wields a long staff that is decorated in talismans, with another layer of brown wrappings underneath. Kong Qiu has a serious demeanor and strong, intimidating presence. He speaks very philosophically. He is a man used to violence, focusing on his goals and showing little emotion even in the face of attempted betrayal, as seen following Qingtao's and Shi Yihua's insubordination. Underneath his steely exterior, he cares deeply for the wellbeing of people, especially those within Hongyuan. Despite having long carried a desire for revenge against the people of Daguanyuan for the role they played in the fall of the Kong Family, he expresses a desire to see Hongyuan improve and be led justly. Kong Qiu believes, when possible, in the importance of dialoguing with others to discern their character, often caring less about the meaning of their answers, but rather being interested in the feelings that motivate them. When interacting with people he trusts, he displays a much more caring attitude. Kong Qiu wields his own Effloresced E.G.O: Érli: A heavy staff covered in talismans. At some point in his past, Kong Qiu learned to utilize Shin to manifest 5 rings of Mang. Kong Qiu is currently in control of the Mao Branch of the Heishou Packs.
