PERSONALITY.
Xie Lian has a personality that is well liked by many people, and yet he also is extremely disliked because of his actions and how un-GodLike he can behave. Overall he is a kind and gentle person who never holds his status as a Crown Prince of a God above others. He is well aware that he has many strengths and that is why he has ascended to heaven three times, but he is not conceited or over confident because of them. He sees no one as being below him, only an equals and often is disregarding status despite how odd this was for people in his position. This was often shown from how he treated Mu Qing and Feng Xin as friends and companions even when they were his subordinates.
Compassionate and willing to do anything for anyone, he is someone who only wants to help others, even if it goes against everything he should be standing for or the rules he is placed under by those in Heaven. He is indifferent towards the opinions of others, especially since many regard him coldly or like a trash god because of the way he got himself tossed out of heaven for trying to follow his own path and for doing thing his own way. He is even willing to save those who have wronged him horribly in the past simply because it is the right thing to do.
He is loyal to a fault and when he considers someone an ally or a friend he will do everything in his power to support and protect them. Even becoming friends with humans or ghosts which is frown upon by the heavens, particularly when he befriend Hua Cheng who is considered one of the most dangerous ghosts around. He is extremely polite and even at his angriest seldom uses derogatory or even insulting language. Despite having seen the worst that both humanity and the gods have done, he can also see the best in people, understanding even those that are hard to deal with.
Xie Lian is an incredible tactician and despite often finding himself in difficult situations, he knows how to remain calm and figure out how best to analyze the situation. Even going so far as to put his own life in danger in order to save someone as long as he has the time to calculate a plan and put it into motion. These actions are selfless and he will do so even if the person he is saving had wronged him in the past. He has proven to be highly intelligent, managing to figure out mysteries and motivations of other characters and trick them into revealing their crimes. He has also used this to be able to see through people's illusions and disguises by seeing flaws in their personality or appearance to distinguish them from the original, such as he did with Feng Xin's and Mu Qing's disguises.
There are moments when he becomes flustered, but they seem to be strictly in regards to being faced with Hua Cheng's flirtatious and romantic gestures. Unable to truly understand his own heart when it comes to such matters since he has never had interest in such things. His method of cultivation includes abstinence and so he is often caught off guard when he starts feeling flustered around Hua Cheng. He is completely naive when it comes to love, the heart and romance.
His path of cultivation required him to abstain from worldly pleasures such as sex and alcohol and he also has notoriously terrible luck, whether it pertains to gambling, drawing fortune sticks, or encountering tedious trouble.
ABILITIES
STRENGTHS.
As a former prince, he is well versed in all the arts such as music dancing and calligraphy. He often sold goods, played instruments and sang songs on the street after his second banishment as a means to earn money. He is incredibly gifted in combat having ascended as a martial god.
High Pain Tolerance: Due to the number of torture, battles, and pain he suffered, he has an extremely high tolerance for pain. Even while being in the mortal realm, he could go for days without food or water. When he suffered frostbite, he couldn't even remember he had wounds. He has become unbothered by almost any kind of pain, although he does feel it.
High Danger Sense: He has an uncanny ability to sense danger and has proven to be correct in his intuition each and every time.
Swordsmanship Skills: Incredibly skilled at a wide range of types of swords having studied how to use them since a very young age.
Immortality: He was cursed by Jun Wu to the extent that he could never die.
Physical Strength: Being a Martial God he has exceedingly great strength and overall physical abilities and agility. He is capable of running great speeds and also jumping high distances.
Spiritual Powers: He regains spiritual powers after ascending to godhood for the third time. This includes using light, having a spiritual shield on his body, and communicating via the spiritual array among other uses.
WEAKNESSES.
He is horrible at household chores such as sewing, cleaning, chores, or cooking. His cooking is so bad that no one can stomach his food except Hua Cheng. His food has often been used as a weapon because of how awful it can be. He also has very bad luck. While not necessarily an ability, due to his second fall from heaven and a cursed shackle on his neck and ankle, he suffers from having a lousy fortune. It is the main reason he frequently lost jobs as lightning would strike him or some accident would occur wherever he appeared.

WEAPONS.
Ruoye is a type of silk bandage that is wrapped around his hands and arms and are normally covered by his sleeves. While dormant, they can pass as normal bandages. When Xie Lian comes into contact with danger, the silk seems to have the ability to act on its own, as a sort of automatic defense. It can also be controlled manually when given a direct instruction by Xie Lian. Ruoye does not require spiritual power to be activated since he can use it even when his power is bound by the curse seal on his neck.
Fang Xin is the sword wielded by Xie Lian. It is described as being long and slender and look like black jade.
