TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: Euro-based art and cake loving capybara stalker who lives, works, and hopefully lives again.

CHARACTER: Lan Wangji
CANON: The Untamed
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: The questionably straight man in a Chinese fantasy Count of Monte Cristo retelling, where the main character doesn't have enough of a brain to plot reve —

No, okay: poker-faced old timey exorcist married to Duty, Honour, Pride, babysitting a himbo and everything that isn't a brothel.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Here your character is, minding their own or someone else's business in a tavern of the Sa-Hareth merchants' arena, when in comes a particularly persistent middle-aged woman with an eerily trademark haircut, insisting your character should give her prompt, first-class and no-nonsense service now, or she'll speak to their manager. How does your character react?

...blink thoughtfully, purposefully, repeatedly, then exit the awkwardness of this interaction in silence, because an attendant's life is not for master Lan. Never reward wretched manners.

ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?

Pets are sadly not allowed in Lan Wangji's native Cloud Recesses — a moment, for your single tear. — and he's not the best at doling out light-hearted names. 'Fluffy' is sadly not in the cards. Perhaps, 'That Which Sits beneath Lan Wangji's Boot'?

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? Subterfuge isn't Wangji's forte, and he's not the most accustomed to... earning his keep through traditional means. This will have to change very quickly. But he's an excellent sword hand and decent at recon, so he'll scout the citadel as a first step, try to glean his any information on the Unhalad-Anurr dynamic and... might unfortunately not stay his hand if any patrolling undead get too close. How can this go wrong?

ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? N/A in a critical sense, but procuring additional fine silks and superior tofu can never go amiss. Please crowdfund his lifestyle. In exchange, he can... kill for you. In your name. Generally. He kills well. Amputates even better.
