Raiden is a well-built man standing at 6'3 with an athletic build, well-defined muscles, and rather long hair. He has light brown eyes, courtesy of his mother, and a well-defined jaw covered in well-groomed stubble. Raiden's hair is his most priced and best feature, according to him anyway. He stopped cutting it shortly after his tenth birthday and only trims it a few times a year to keep it healthy.
Raiden dresses in formal wear most of the time. Suits and traditional clothing from Xi'An. He likes to keep his hair down during informal outings or while he is at home. When traditional clothing or formal events are required, he wears his hair up in a but or braids to keep it off his face.
His color palette varies by occasion, mood, and location. The one thing that stays true is that Raiden loves to wear dark colors with a pop of bright thrown in there to mix it up a bit.

Raiden is a man of principles and morals first then science and rationality after. As a Prince, he cares for his people and future kingdom. He wishes the best for those at the bottom who do not have enough while still caring for those at the top who have enough to solve everything wrong in Xi'An. He is rational to think that everything wouldn't be solved so easily, but wishful enough to hope it would. By nature, he is empathetic by nature towards those he calls close and strangers alike. He understands, forgives, and moves on.
Raiden is a charismatic man who loves to talk to people as much as he likes to listen to them. Although he loves to run his mouth, he is very selective of what he says to certain people. Raiden is calm and collected, polite, and well-mannered. Raiden could be the best liar. The perfect heir, and the most miserable.

Raiden is the only son of King Zhao Kousoke and Queen Zhao Ren, making him the only heir to the throne and the only one who must continue the Zhao bloodline. Ever since Raiden was born, Queen Ren knew that he would be her only child. Because of that, she was determined to give her son everything to make him the best man, and King, the nation of Xi'n, would have the pleasure to witness.
As Queen Ren had determined since the day he was born, Raiden received the best education Xi'An had to offer along with Wester tutors to help a growing boy expand his knowledge of the outside world. There were many tutors from different kingdoms who came and educated little Raiden on their own history and broad views. His mother said it would help him stay objective and expand his outlook on life and learn from other cultures.
At a young age, Raiden showed skills in music, math, and literature that continued to carry on to his youth and teenage years. While his studies were perfect in the eyes of his mother, King Zhao Kousoke thought otherwise. Education was not the only way to rule a kingdom, and so the king saw it fit that Prince Raiden would accompany him to every meeting and hearing he had. He was encouraged to speak with older people about current events and practice diplomacy with other rules. All of the work put Raiden in so much stress, but the King and Queen failed to notice it.
By the time Raiden was in his late teens, he finally accepted the fact that he had to be the best for Xi'n to prosper. He began to see the neglect of the common people of Xi'n from his father and the inability to raise awareness from his mother. They were both loving parents, but they were not the great rules Raiden always thought they were. They ignored the rising poverty and the crime in the poor areas of the country and put more importance on business deals with other kingdoms. They spent money on more buildings while people in Kai and the other islands starved.
Raiden decided at an early age to change that when he became king. In the meantime, Raiden began several charities and donated large amounts towards the effort to get many residents of Xi'n out of poverty. The crown stood behind him, of course, but his father couldn't help but dismiss most of the importance away in favor of more money.
Dismissal from his family was something Raiden was accustomed to. He may be the sole heir to Xi'n, but his parents were still the King and Queen with busy lives. He was mostly raised by various nannies and tutors throughout his life and only saw his parents during important occasions or arranged meetings. Raiden never blamed them or resented them for it; he just grew up to live like that.
So as he grew up in an environment where education was always first, and there was little time to one's self, the sudden freedom of college took Raiden by surprise. He finally had time to discover himself and who he was as a person, but he simply didn't know how to. The concept of free time seemed alien to him that for his first year, he did nothing but study in his room and avoid the media as best as he could. Slowly but surely, Raiden began to discover bits of himself little by little. Every party he attended to, he found himself looking at other men dance while he ignored the women who would dote over him. He never mentioned it to anyone, and he never acted upon those feelings until his last year of college.
Everything had been purely physical and quick, but after it, Raiden knew who he was and who he wanted. Unfortunately, there would be no future there. Raiden was the only son of King Zhao Kousoke and Queen Ren, and he had to continue the Zhao bloodline.

Located east of the mainland of Asia, Xi'n is a county composed of several islands of various sizes. The main island, Kai, has two large mountains and an inactive volcano in the center. While Kai is the main island, there are about four more that are half the size of Kai and a few others that would be able to fit a city.
__________ R E P U T A T I O N __________
The United Isles of Xi'n is best known for the mixture of traditional and modern, large skyscrapers, and crazy rich Asians. Xi'n is a proud nation that holds close ties with its long history that traces back to the First Dynasty of China. Due to this, Xi'An has various temples, palaces, and historic buildings and areas still standing amongst the sea of breathtaking skyscrapers, large neon signs, and the everlasting buzz of the city. These historic sights attract tourists from the West who marvel at the historical sights and enjoy a dip in the Pacific that surrounds the Islands.
Xi'n is also known for its grand scale buildings, city-like shopping centers, and vibrant exotic gardens. Throughout the main island of Xi'n, there are various gardens dedicated to multiple countries from the East and West alike. Why leave Xi'An when you can have the world in Xi'n? The country is an expert in recreating gardens from other countries and ecosystems. Their most famous garden is a South American garden inspired by the nation of Nevarrea and another by the cold Austerund.
It is no secret that Xi'n is a wealthy country, and the kingdom loves to flaunt it while ignoring the rise in poverty by the common people. They are good at hiding that fact and will continue to do so until their little bubble pops.
