Appearance

Liu Shan looks stunningly like his father, Liu Bei, if not a more feminine version of said man. He has long brown hair and blue eyes, and usually wears imperial headware and a green coat like in the picture above.
Underneath his coat, he wears a black-colored top and gold bracers on his arms. His pants are a gold color and he wears black boots. If he needs to go for battle, he swaps his usual clothing for armor and his rapier. His armor is lightweight and a forest green, with gold in the mix.

Personality

A young man with a mountain of expectations hefted onto his shoulders, Liu Shan is a quiet and calm individual who keeps a soft smile on his face at all times. While often he acts as a fool who lacks skill in combat, he actually trains in secret, so as to respect those fighting for his father's cause. Since he knows he is not that good of a fighter, even with Xingcai helping him, he studies strategies in hopes that he can help his father with military plans and the like, should he fail to be of actual use on the battlefield.
While he acts as a fool, he is actually quite smart and perceptive. And what he lacks in strength, he makes up for in speed and other areas. While still quite new to all this war related things, he hopes that one day he can live up to his father's name, and not bring shame unto the Shu kingdom.
He, like his father, is also quite kind, and somewhat charismatic. Liu Shan also hates battling, due to the number of innocent lives lost in the war. However, while battling is something he hates and would rather stay away from, if he has to battle, he will do so with no qualms.
He is also loyal to his father and is polite and respects all other Shu officers, admiring how each of them gives their all for his father. He hopes to one day be able to be like them, courageous, brave, determined and excellent officers of Shu. He especially thanks Xingcai though, for her constant protection and steadfast support. Though, as most people say it, he has potential, just has yet to realize it.

History

Liu Shan was the son of Liu Bei and Lady Gan. He was born when Liu Bei was stationed under Liu Biao.
Liu Shan, while growing up, had always preferred books to fighting, but would not mind reading books regarding warfare and military arts. Of course, as he grew older, he felt that he was becoming a burden to Shu, and started training using a rapier in secret, even when Xingcai was appointed to look after him and teach him. He would usually do this in the garden, and the garden became his favorite place to be, along with other places of nature.
Now, he tries to strike a balance between his reading and practicing periods, for while he still prefers to stay away from fighting, he knows there will come a time when he may need to be present on the battlefield, and wishes not to be looked upon as some sort of burden or person who must be protected due to his incapability to fight and instead as a promising general and a well received support/back-up.
