The one, the only, the... definitely-not-late edition! If you're looking to grow out your character's network, filling out the below might help*...! *Results not guaranteed. Do not take while bleeding rocks. Please speak to a doctor if symptoms persist past 48h.
Wen Kexing | Word of Honor
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes!
IS A HOTDOG A SANDWICH? Yes
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S):
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: A man living for revenge decides to live for love instead
THEIR TEAM FOR TARAVAST PURPOSES: Vannozza
GOT A LINK TO ANY TARAVAST PLOTS & PLANS? here!
HANDWAVERY: WHAT CAN OTHER CHARACTERS SPOT YOURS DOING ON THE DAILY? bothering everyone with his chatter, playing a jade flute (called a "xiao"), reciting poetry, sitting on rooftops just chillin
DOES ANYTHING STAND OUT GROTESQUELY/HILARIOUSLY/WTFISHLY ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER(S)? He acts like a big fool most of the time, gesticulating theatrically with a fan, but his demeanor/appearance can change radically, especially when his bae (Zhou Zishu) isn't around, and he becomes quite serious and taciturn.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Your character is our last hope in the kitchens. Are we saved, are we doomed, is there excess spice, are you Xie Lian? You're saved, this man has everyone covered on the domestic front
ii. Which awkward reddit forum is your character likeliest to end up on? Choosing Beggars/I-don't-work-here-lady/Bridezillas/MaliciousCompliance/ProRevenge/something else?
r/ProRevenge
r/ThanosDidNothingWrong
r/AITA
r/Relationship_Advice
r/NeverTellMeTheOdds
r/Instant_Regret
r/publicfreakout
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO:
1. Improbably, he has strong dad energy, so an outlet for that would be great!
2. His parents were healers, and he has rudimentary skills, but never really was able to learn from them. So I'd like to pursue CR with fellow healers, it could be interesting and angsty.
3. Also CR with characters who were Wronged in life, but have learned to move past it without burning up the whole world in revenge, that would be great for him!
WHAT WILL YOUR CHARACTER NEED AN EXTRA HAND WITH IN TARAVAST?
- He needs to get money! For reasons! Please help!
- He'll also be interested in exploring all the delights of the city, artistic as well as hedonistic
- Slimy politicians will push all his buttons, so help reining in the more violent aspects of his personality would be great!

SECOND AND ACTUALLY USEFUL, xingchen here is going to be Wronged again this arc, though I can't promise he'll be in a good enough space for a while for wen kexing to be able to learn from him, but perhaps in the future! you know, after he gets some hard drinking and possible self-destructive tendencies out of his system.
no subject
kexing is going to experience this extravaganza from xue yang's pov, and he's going to live in TERROR of zishu finding out about his own dark past (spoilers, he knows already)
he will therefore be very interested in xingchen's experience....
oh i had a terrible thought, he may try to break off contact with zishu if he sees xingchen being hurt too much, sob
ANYWAY one day kexing can teach xingchen all about contouring, or better yet teach xue yang lmao
no subject
I am disgusted by all these parallels
but I am enthralled by all these parallels
but wen kexing don't leave a-xu like that oh nooooooo, but that's some good and juicy stuff, my friend, I heartily approve. I'm so glad this entire group is just Disaster.
no subject
That said, all this might trigger a Talk between Kexing and Zishu that they desperately need to have, so there's that at least?
Have to say though, if kexing hears the whoooole story of what went down between xue lang and xingchen, he might kinda encourage not forgiving the guy as a game plan, just saying
no subject
xingchen would be inclined to agree on that front, though, sob
Re: Wen Kexing | Word of Honor

let kexing be your dad, kid. let Zhou Zishu be your dad also, and they'll both give conflicting advice, because what is adolescence without confusion?

Re: Wen Kexing | Word of Honor
Also, if you want to have him have visions of Wen Kexing's future, let me know, those are always fun to play with. I probably should have a permission post for it, but technically I never have it happen without player permission anyway and it works out because Moran's power is passive, he cannot activate it himself. But it's fun to play with!
I also would love for Wen Kexing to watch Xie Lian with increasing perplexity and be convinced the man has addled brains until something happens and the 'I'm a god' proves to be true.
no subject
also xie lian looks pretty young, so i can see kexing mentally associating him with his and zishu's teenage son chengling
no subject
And Xie Lian was canonically seventeen when he ascended so that's what he'd looks like, wait until he tells you he's 800 Kexing.
no subject
also El is young, feel free to dad him a bit
