Xiao

Xiao Shangji, or the god of Power, is the most famous out of the Onalakin 0's for his unique circumstances and even more so personality.

## Biography

Xiao was born to, shockingly, another deity. Hua Kukk (a born Erian), or the god of Tenacity, became pregnant with Xiao by an unnamed Onalakin man in an attempt to get the Onalakin government to stop pestering her about becoming a zero, she claimed the man raped her. Whether or not he actually did is unclear. Before he was born however, he was seemingly blessed, something that had never happened before. When Xiao was born, though she had every intent to raise him normally, he was taken by the Onalakin government claiming that not only was Xiao property of Onalakin because of his Onalakin blood, but he was also compensation for the damage she had done to their reputation. With Eria on Onalakin's side, she had no choice but to allow them to take her son, despite her godhood.

Xiao was instead given to an Onalakin 0 to be raised, Pyro. Pyro is, however, notoriously agoraphobic. He raised the very extroverted child to be meek and to avoid socialization. Xiao has admitted, humorously, that he didn't know women were real till he was late into his teens. Xiao recounts his childhood as a painfully lonely one, but not an unhappy one. He was raised inside of the Onalakin's giant archive that Pyro ran, said archive was blocked off from the general public. It was very rare to see someone other than Pyro, Xiao or a cleaning personnel roaming the place. Pryo describes Xiao as a very energized and talkative child, he also states that he regrets not acknowledging how unhappy Xiao was in complete isolation.

At about 19 Xiao was allowed free reign outside of Pyro's control. He was allowed to roam around Onalakin and meet people before he was required to make a choice about joining the Onalakin 0's--though at this point everyone knew he would join; it was all he was ever told to do. Though, because of the way he was raise, he ironically had no social skills and had trouble fitting into the very social world of Onalakin. So he was given to yet another Onalakin 0, the deity Zhong Un. Zhong Un was known for his charismatic personality and charming speech, so Xiao was handed over to him to be taught how to be social. Though begrudgingly, he did indulge the request and allowed the young adult to shadow him. Though it was very slowly, Zhong Un warmed up to Xiao and the two eventually became very close. The two ultimately get married.

Xiao served in the Onalakin 0's from the day he was elidable to the day Onalakin fell; about a billion years. He seemingly took it the hardest amongst the 0's, since it was all he'd ever known compared to the other 0's who had had lives outside of their servitude. When Onalakin fell and VAAZ, the government that took over, cleared out all the known 0's, Xiao was "spared". Because of the unique nature of his existence, Xiao was placed in the newly created country of Chio for Erian-esque testing. Though VAAZ didn't last for very long and was soon replaced with simply Chio, it was a long time till Xiao left the nation. The only reason Xiao ever did was because of Zhong Un involment with the Chioan Bishops. Though no one is quite sure on the details. It seems like Zhong Un came into Chio and slaughtered all of the Chioan Bishops, whom Xiao had become acquainted with. This ironically caused the two to get into an argument over the value of mortal life. Causing Xiao to leave Chio and disappear for a few years, while Zhong Un simply returned to Xade.

In the time before Onalakin fell, Xiao spent most of his time exploring the music scene. Being a hardcore metalhead, producing and preforming his own music for a very long time. He explored every music genre and went to every concert he could get his hands on, using music as his main form of coping with his hard military servitude. Xiao's music varied in genre, though it usually fell under the rock umbrella, and spread over many languages. Zhong Un was the first to introduce Xiao to the music scene, and was there after forced to come with Xiao to almost all of his shows. His music was incredibly popular for a very long time, and even into the modern age though he doesn't do live performances anymore.

It was a very long time till Xiao and Zhong Un get married, dating on and off for about 990 million years (i am not exaggerating). Eventually only getting married because of the suprise child they ended up with. For reference, 0's cannot have children. Their blessing causes them to go sterile, this child was given to them by the Demons. Though it took Zhong Un a while to warm up to the prospect of raising this child--whom they named Yanli Ajour-- Xiao took to it immediately. Yanli only has positive things to say about Xiao, his most unfavorable point being his father is quite talkative.

## Personality

Xiao has a very flamboyant and loud personality, an extrovert of all extroverts you might say. A man unafraid to speak his mind, who spent most of his life a diehard metalhead. Though he has calmed down in the coming centuries, he produced music that very well reflected his bombastic personality.
