Xue Pan

Xue Pan is a tall man with notably gray skin and piercing amber eyes. He has shaggy brown hair, which is longer on the back of his head, fashioned into long braids that coil across his entire body, with several orange bows tied across its length. at his waist, his clothes are covered in assorted talismans, similarly visible on the Jar Monsters he commands. He wears a set of loafers and wrappings on his legs.

As a child, he was still taller than the average youth. He wore similar clothing of a brown-orange robe, though his hair was much shorter, he did not wear a wuliu mian, and he did not wear the several talismans across his body.

Visibly unwell, Xue Pan is a deranged man who cares little for the wellbeing of others. He is willing to put others at risk for his own enjoyment, choosing to allow his Jar Monsters to attack other Family Hierarch Evaluations candidates, believing it to be something treasured and worth sharing, in a macabre sense. He is outwardly spiteful as well, threatening Hong Lu in the moments before round two.

Xue Pan is shown to have been much more meek in his youth, worrying about the dangers of Daguanyuan's practices and wishing not to participate.

Gender: Male Occupation: Family Hierarch Candidate Affiliations: Xue Family Relationships: Xue Baochai (Younger sister), Lin Daiyu (Family bodyguard)

As a child, Xue Pan feared the practices of Daguanyuan, once begging Jia Baoyu to save him from having to participate. Much to his chagrin, Jia Baoyu chose to not do anything that would save him from participating, creating a lifelong sense of distaste for Jia Baoyu.

Xue Pan was killed on several occasions in his life, causing gradual changes of his personality throughout his life. Xue Baochai alludes that this has always been an unsuccessful attempt to tame him.

Xue Pan was the 27th candidate of the first round of the Family Hierarch Evaluations. When called upon by Jia Zheng, he approached the podium rather than the designated platform area the candidates typically stood upon. Despite being told to move to the platform, he'd remain at the podium and place a talisman-covered jar down, from which Jar Monsters emerged. As the creatures began to attack the audience, slaughtering potential candidates, Xue Pan reveled in the chaos. Following a short battle with the Sinners, the creatures returned to their jars, to which Xue Pan requested the verdict for his solution to immortality from the judges in exchange for the clay from the jars. In response, he passed the first round.

As Hong Lu and the Sinners rode the elevator to the grounds the second round of the Family Hierarch Evaluations were to take place on, Xue Pan shouted a threat towards Hong Lu, determined to behead the Sinner.

During round two of the Family Hierarch Evaluations, Xue Pan inevitably encountered Hong Lu, motivated by his past spite towards the man over never being able to afford the same favor the gem of the Jia Family was awarded. Despite his hatred for the man, Hong Lu mentioned that, if possible, he would have given the favor to Xue Pan, only furthering his rage. Commanding Lin Daiyu to assist him taking down Hong Lu, he was ignored by her, leading to annoyance over her insubordination. Xue Pan attacked the Sinners alongside his Jar Monsters, only to be defeated shortly. Unwilling to allow this, he made a final attempt to stand up to his enemies, only to be cut short as he is killed and eliminated from the Family Hierarch war.

His death would be taken lightly by Xue Baochai, who knew he would just later be revived again.

Following the recent revival, Xue Pan was busy healing as the events of the Intervallo began. Because of this, he was not present at Jia Xichun's inundation, held by Jia Yuanchun, who aimed to topple and belittle the newfound Hierarch. However, he heard of the information and participated in the Hierarch's training.

Amidst the training of the new Hierarch, Xue Pan was one of the opponents of the Hierarch's training, serving as her fourth midterm. Annoyed by what he viewed as Jia Xichun's arrogance, he proclaimed his interest in the chaotic happenings of everything going wrong. After an attempt to convince the new Hierarch to kill him and use him as an example against all future terrors of Hongyuan, Jia Xichun remains steadfast on her peaceful choices, reminding Xue Pan of his younger self who hated this violence.

Despite his disagreement with Xichun's viewpoint, Xue Pan ultimately finds himself interested in the chaos and happenings that will follow in Xichun's wake. Despite failing to attend the end-of-training meeting, Xue Pan left a letter that voted against the vote of no confidence held, allying himself with Jia Xichun.
