westwhere yet!

ARE YOU OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP: Yes!
A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: A 30something warehouse worker who just wants to Rest and stream vidya games and cry over fictional characters forever.
YOUR LATEST SHOWER EPIPHANY THE WORLD MUST KNOW: Jin Zixuan had last words to Jiang Yanli and I bet they were something lame like "hey sorry gotta go deal with my dumbass cousin and brother-in-law" and nothing like "hey if I die today know that I love you and A-Ling
and please don't run out onto a battlefield in your ensuing grief." It's fine. I'm fine.CHARACTER: Xiao Xingchen
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Opt-Out and Content/Trigger Warnings SPOILERS IN LINK Blind rogue cultivator who thought non-con organ donation was a good idea until his
boyfriendDearest Friend told him to fuck off in his anger and now he's a single dad to a not-actually-blind girl and the dude who ruined his and his Former Dearest Friend's lives but he doesn't know it and also he sleeps in a coffin at night back home don't worry about it this is totally normal.ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Your character has been patiently queuing for the past hour, when someone with no extenuating circumstances cuts in. How do they react?
Ding dong would let this happen because he's Too Fucking Nice. But if it happened again (same person) then he'd speak up politely because hey man :(
ii. What job would your character most majestically fail at?
Stand-up comedian. He laughs halfway through his own jokes and will never get to the punchline.
iii. What scent do you associate with your character?
Probably like...firewood or the wind??? Petrichor could be a possibility.
WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER BEEN UP TO, SO FAR? Well, before there was an accident in the mines, he'd been going to liberate and sell salt. And then spending too much of his funds on sweets for the House of Dew workers, but they give him the hot goss so it evens out, right? More importantly he went to a meeting of Anurr supporters and got kind of blasted on their weird cult kool-aid and did some casual corpse murder. He feels kind of weird about it.
WHAT ARE YOU ITCHING TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER DO IN SA-HARETH NEXT? I never have any concrete plans, but he's probably going to try and not pick a side in the Anurr-Unhalad conflict unless he really has no other choice. He just wants to get Eastward already. And somewhere considerably warmer, please.
Otherwise I'm down for more character-bonding since he's such a friendly dude, but he's actually pretty zipped up right now. But hold his hand maybe! Give him a kith! Ignore the fact that I'm a gross shipper at all times! Just hit me up with whatever, I'm probably down to clown.
