PLAYER: Rose OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes! Just as long as I can tell who you are. LadyotRings WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? In their non-functioning tummies, tbh, because just the thought of running makes me want to die
CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Xiao Xingchen | Mo Dao Zu Shi WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Blind ancient fantasy Chinese wizard who got a little too involved with a guy he turned in for mass murder. WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Besides being at least perpetually and marginally depressed, Xingchen is playing detective to the best of his abilities when it comes to the creepy maid situation in the Doxe's palace. He's gotten one maid transferred to the kitchens and hopefully she won't get killed, but if anyone wants to sneak on down there and help him figure out why things have a rancid vibe, that'd be dope. Also point out there may be people ashes in the breadmaker because he sure as heck can't see that.
ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? I mean, clearly those people need the thing more than he does. Maybe some other place has it! Or he can try making it himself... More than likely, it's time for a plan B.
ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? I'd say he'd give everyone puppy dog eyes, but. You know. Otherwise, he'd gently remind them that they were once babies, too, and probably drove at least one other person nuts, and it's really quite disingenuous of them to be so judgey.
iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? Listen. I don't even know what coffee is. But he'd probably be down for something sweet. Or the kind with enough caffeine to get him through his life because this is some bullshit, y'all.
THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC):
1. A therapist. He's doing.......okay right now, but, like, he still could use some actual help with the brain stuff because he doesn't particularly like himself for multiple reasons. 2. Just...more friends??? Xingchen's easy to get along with and he'll happily share a snack with you or tell you the beginning of really corny jokes (just the beginning, though) or assure you that you look really nice, probably. 3. Someone to take advantage of him, like even in small ways. Like, listen, his bad guy friend quotient is taken up by Xue Yang and he's already going to make too many mistakes in that arena, but he also only has two brain cells to rub together on a really good day, so like. Go bananas if you're AN AWFUL PERSON WITH NO SOUL. Or something.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
He's a cultivator and he has a very fancy sword, so if you have ghost problems or zombie problems (okay we all have zombie problems around here) it's literally his job to deal with that shit. He's kind of on weird terms with his sword right now because of personal problems, but it's fine, he's fine. Otherwise, he's good for being a nice older brother kind of character (his advice may not always be sound, but just don't ask him for advice when he's Goin Thru It and you should be fine) and listening to problems and, as said above, enabling in innocent ways. He's sure you look great today. Your voice is really nice, so you're definitely cool.
I have been trying to keep Wangji out of Xue Yang's way, because I can't justify how he wouldn't mutilate the guy at least a little bit otherwise, but. If you need to talk, Xiao Xingchen................ trust the Lans, they are excellent conversationalists.
I mean, listen, if you want to do a little dismemberment, it's not like xingchen wouldn't say xue yang wouldn't deserve it, so like...he's not exactly the one to stop you...
Oh! More friends! Slick can do that. And not just because "share a snack" got mentioned there, though that's a big bonus. He's kind of an extrovert, and out of his usual element. He's been holding it together by focusing on practical stuff, but he does best when there's loads of people around that he can trust.
