Blademaster Xiano a bold and ferocious Orc with a heavy sense of Honor, and Duty. His days often spent focusing on perfecting his skill with the blade and fortifying his connection with the elements.

Physical Description

Before you stood a muscular Orc standing at 6'10, he had a powerful build, paired with strong arms, legs, and large rear. His body covered in many scars, some minor and some more severe like the burnt chain markings covering both his arms. He held a youthful expression, despite years of fiery combat and war marking his body. His hair often kept into a high ponytail or out wildly. His beard trimmed and kept secure and braided. This Orc often stood shirtless, as many Bladmasters do.

His Left forearm was replaced with a unique prosthetic built by blessed metals and bones often covered by his armor.

Personality

Xiano Ashblade was a Fierce and Competitive Orc by nature, he enjoyed showing off his skills with the blade. He enjoyed times of peace just as equally as he enjoyed times of war, his mind just as calm and focused as any day. Rarely will he bow to any authority which has not earned his respect and often he will fight not out of anger, but out of pure enjoyment. 

Romance

Jeraana

During his younger days in Nagrand, Xiano had formed a crush on a Draenei girl who worked on a farm in Nagrand. While the two were friendly and had a mutual degree of attraction to one another spiritually. She was later killed by the young Blademaster upon his Masters's Command.

Kiri Brewhill

A strong and lovely Monk, Master of the Crane Style. Xiano had fallen for Kiri over weeks of battling alongside her and facing many threats, He took her as his mate despite her infertility. Together they would train, eat, and go out on romantic evenings enjoying life one day at a time. She had joined the clan and earned her way to some of its highest positions of authority, the Ashen Council. Later on, in the same year, the clan was pulled into the Blood War. Kiri was one of the few who were captured by the Stormfall Clan. She faced cruel torture and defilement by their hands, but within weeks was rescued by the clan who were systematically destroying dwarven supply routes, ambushing convoys, and otherwise preventing all troop movement. A small clan vs a great army, with Kiri saved the clan soon found victory and the duo rekindled their relationship, despite some scars of torture lingering. They enjoyed many peaceful and love-filled nights, but the winds of chaos would not let them stay together, after the tragedy in Pandaria Xiano believes Kiri had died during the Old God's invasion.

Mentor, Teacher, Father Figure.

Yazimo of the Thrice Blessed Blade. (Father Figure)

Yazimo was essentially the Mentor and father figure for Xiano growing up, The Half-breed was stern and often harsh and especially cruel. However, he was an effective teacher, passing on practical knowledge and making sure the teachings of his own master lived on for another generation. He was known as a Blademaster Instructor in the Burning Blade, despite his status as a Half Breed, he was the best friend to Kengar and even comrade once to Gondro. Yazimo was also one of the original founding members of the Scarred Blade Clan and an advisor to the first Chieftain Raishiko, he was responsible for initially bringing a young Xiano into the fold.

Weapons

Kozu'obu

The Blade of Yazimo, an Elder of the Scarred Blade. Now reforged after being broken during a great battle in the Frozen Pass of Alterac. The Blade was known for its unique and mystical properties, as well as its blazing hot edge that could cut through most materials.

Skills

Blademastery

As a Blademaster Xiano is specialized in bladed combat, his preferred weapons being an Orcish Katana or a Large curved sword. His primary form of combat is a unique and ferocious style called the Searing Gronn Style, originated by him and derived from the Form I Battering Clefthoof and the Form IV Blazing Garn.

Both of which styles he is also experienced in. The Styles foundation is Form I, Quick and precise attacks that deal great damage, while dismantling your foe. However the similarities between form seven end here. The Searing Gronn style emphasizes aggressive usage of the elements, cleaving strikes, guard breaking, retaliating strikes and especially employing the winds to strengthen the Blademasters flames and even create combustion like explosions. This aggressive usage of the elements draws a great deal of energy from the Blademaster with the tradeoff of being able to deliver hard strikes and often break the defenses of your opponent with precision brute force or melt through them. The Nature of the form makes only certain types of weapons properly applicable. Two-Handed Swords, long polearms and even axes can be easily applied to the style, Dual wielding is also possible but changes the nature of the style.

• First Claw: Hidden Blaze
• Second Claw: Magma Claw
• Third Claw: Vortex of Fire
• Fourth Claw: Combustion
• Fifth Claw: Rage of the Breaker
• Sixth Claw: Hollowing Sky

Shamanism

Xiano spends his days amongst the elements, serving them and meditating amongst them. A Lifetime of this service since he was a small youngling has given him a naturally strong connection to the elements. Able to summon the hottest of fires around his blade, conjure powerful Mirror Images, and even use the winds to move around at breathtaking speed. As a Blademaster should be. He was a Chaotic conduit of the Elements.
