wen qing | the untamed

[silverneedles]

PLAYER: Thea
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? sure: theasaurus#0842 or theasaurus
IS A HOTDOG A SANDWICH? Is a taco a sandwich?

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Wen Qing, The Untamed
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: oh god I'm terrible at this Tired healer/older sister who has too many ridiculous self-sacrificing friends, while ignoring her tendency to do the same.
THEIR TEAM FOR TARAVAST PURPOSES: Vannozza.
GOT A LINK TO ANY TARAVAST PLOTS & PLANS? someone help this woman figure out how to navigate a relationship she's not actually in

HANDWAVERY: WHAT CAN OTHER CHARACTERS SPOT YOURS DOING ON THE DAILY? While in Taravast, she'll be going into Lady Vannozza's chambers daily, for at least an hour or two. Otherwise, she's probably gathering herbs, taking notes on medical practices she's learned, meditating, trying to figure out how to fashion a few more needles for her kit.
DOES ANYTHING STAND OUT GROTESQUELY/HILARIOUSLY/WTFISHLY ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER(S)? She looks to be in her mid-20s and then she opens her mouth and sounds like a snappish wife in her 50s.

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? Well, she scorched potatoes (or radishes or whatever she attempted to cook) so probably doomed. Or else she's making medicine, in which case, curing whatever ails people, but not actually feeding anyone.

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? Am I the asshole for agreeing to perform a risky, experimental surgery on my friend's brother (who has a crush on me), thus leaving my friend without his golden core and giving the brother a new golden core. We never ask him, trick him into thinking I'm an immortal, and never mention it, even when he wants to know why my friend has stopped helping him (he can't cultivate) and is going off the deep end.

Am I the asshole for putting my friend to sleep so my brother (now a fierce corpse) and I can turn ourselves in for being distant relatives of a former madman/despot and hated by all the other clans. My brother also accidentally killed the heir of the current ruling sect, who was also the husband of my friend's sister, so they're a little upset right now.

(I can keep going but I'll spare you all.)

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO: Actual friends who she doesn't need to nag to death to take care of themselves, people to remind her that romance is a Thing and she can have that now (and deserves it), and also more younger sibling types to be a bossy older sister to because she's a bossy older sister.
WHAT WILL YOUR CHARACTER NEED AN EXTRA HAND WITH IN TARAVAST? This woman rejected the guy who had a crush on her because it was futile, doesn't know how to flirt, and has never had a moment of peace to actually explore Feelings and now she's supposedly married (and possibly killed) four people! And is looking for a fifth! She definitely needs help with how to flirt and appeal and also how to make a relationship look like a relationship to the outside world when she's not actually in a relationship with anyone.

[downswing]

.................yta.

[silverneedles]

you just think that because it was wei wuxian.

[downswing]

Of............. course not.

[silverneedles]

Sure it's not.

She at least tried to keep Wei Wuxian alive in the second one, so that counts for something.

[downswing]

.....yes, and she is alive for it!!!!!

And getting her gd cleansing songs.

[silverneedles]

yes, cleansing songs would be good.

[thesuspense]

he is great at flirting, really

[silverneedles]

.... murder doesn't count as flirting.

[thesuspense]

dunno, depends on who you kill for whom and how much they are into it

[silverneedles]

for most sane people, and good grief she hopes Vannozza is mostly sane, murder should be a turn-off.

maybe stop murdering people, xue yang!!

[thesuspense]

ugh, so judgemental

he is also good at being obscene, does that help?

[silverneedles]

obscene... would be too much. he should totally teach her about that.

[thesuspense]

oh, he gladly will

this will be awful

Re: wen qing | the untamed

[beitangmoran]

Moran is more of an older brother type, but he appreciates ruthless competence a lot.

.... Oh, and he looks exactly like Wei Wuxian, too, except fed properly and with muscles.

[silverneedles]

See, Wei Wuxian, this is what you could look like if you ate!!

Ruthless competence is her title, okay. And Wen Qing could definitely use an older brother, or at least someone who has that sort of energy. Older siblings. They get it!

[beitangmoran]

as it happens, he is, in fact a younger sibling who was much younger than his older brother... but older brother got assassinated when he was still a teen and he had to raise his two nephews who were just a few years younger than him, so he was sort of assigned 'ge' at sixteen with no way out.

So now this is his life and energy.

[silverneedles]

Sometimes you are born into the big sibling energy, sometimes it is thrust upon you.

[beitangmoran]

well, as it happens, Xunxian has bene floating the idea that maybe this qi transfer thing might help with the exhaustion from his power being overused, so possibly they might call on her for that and that might be a point of contact.

[valeas]

Hello I'd love CR with Wen Qing, especially if they're going to be part of the same lady gang! Emilia has some knowledge of herbal folk medicine and can always stand to learn more where healing is concerned. She is an excellent cook if Wen Qing ever wants to learn.

Deep down, Emilia is still a romantic who could absolutely give her the romance talk while they gather herbs and look cute.

[silverneedles]

They can definitely trade knowledge of herbal remedies and folk medicine, Wen Qing always wants to learn more. (She'll pass on the cooking lessons though, leave that to someone else.)

PLEASE give her good romantic advice. They can go for a walk one day, or visit markets, or go explore some of the depths of the city, and discuss Romance. Wen Qing has never really had a female friend to discuss these matters with, so it would be great.

[bearshermark]

these two have technically met before when El was terribly sick but! actual cr could be fun.

I think he could help her fashion needles, or meet her looking for herbs, interested in the healing arts as he is.

[silverneedles]

Yes, actual cr would be good!! She's really interested in getting more needles, she needs them for acupuncture and they're spiritual weapons for her, so if he could do that, she'd be grateful forever.

[bearshermark]

he happens to be a pretty skilled smith so with the material and access to something like a forge, she can have as many as she needs :)

[lancifolium]

Coming here to say I am shooting you a req on discord!
