OOC INFORMATION. NAME: Tea CONTACT:teaandreveries, same on discord, PM ABOUT YOU: I'm in the EST time zone but work overnight shifts so my schedule is mostly tags on weekends or intermittently, but I'll backtag for a long time if you want to. Hobbywise, I'm into everything horror and folklore, especially youkai and fae. I like tabletop games, random anime (mostly cooking or supernatural themed), wuxia and xianxia stories, and puzzle games. I also do tarot/oracle readings and make crafty things like bath items.
IC INFORMATION. Lan Xichen AGE: mid 30's CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi (book) CANON POINT: very end of the book
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Lan Xichen is polite, reserved, and friendly outwardly, but also has a pretty good passive aggressive streak, can be a stubborn shit, and currently because of canon is kind of in the middle of an emotional crisis where he's reached his Retail Timer and is done with just about everything. He acts pretty gentle and can come across as passive since his leadership style resolves around listening and fairness, but he is also a battle-tested swordsman that can rip wet silk apart with his bare hands. He's a student of a musical school of fantasy martial arts that uses instruments for energy manipulation, so he can do a little of his unrealistic level of qigong. Because he's from an extremely stereotypical righteous/chivalrous sect, he's used to acting almost overly fair and just and way too repressed. So in the City he's experiencing all the frustration in trying to be an ideal paragon son and being horny constantly.
EVENT PLOTTING: I volunteer Xichen for exploring the rooms for characters' items, fighting ghosts, and in general not understanding what a haunted house is so he can potentially bop some scare actors on accident. Isn't this training?? On the second floor, I'm here for him trying not to get murdered with buddies, injury and death are fine. Also please dress him in a ridiculous costume
OTHER PLANS: Please give me more CR that can make Xichen question all of his beliefs and personal identity. Alternatively sparring friends, good buddies, and modern input since he's from fantasy ancient China.
CONTENT WARNING: Nothing comes to mind aside from murder/violence if applicable.
Abe no Seimei AGE: 1,000 going on 25 CANON: original (onmyouji-based) CANON POINT: When he's become basically a modern supernatural investigator.
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Friendly, too chatty, and kind of lazy, Seimei is an immortal magic user who broke the world at one point and now is both famous and notorious for his past career nonsense. He used to be one of the emperor's best onmyouji and a celestial fox often sent as an envoy by various gods, but he used his connections to split the supernatural realms from the human realm, which did not go over super well. He is an experienced practitioner of onmyoudou magic, so he often uses talismans, gestures, and tools like his phone to cast spells of all kinds. Also being part-spirit gives him natural attunement to spiritual energies and the ability to consume and direct them through fantasy natural law. He's usually friends with a lot of kami and supernatural beings.
EVENT PLOTTING: He is totally the annoying type to play scare actor for fun, help people cheat around ghosts/scares, cause general trouble in the haunted house by misleading people, or actually helping in dangerous situations like the second floor. I can have him either hunt or be hunted, although he'll probably not feel that bad about it, sorry.
OTHER PLANS: Talk shop with him! He loves people with magic experience or supernatural problems since he is the cause of the separation between magic and humans in his world. Anyone who will team up for antics or someone to play voice of reason as he pokes at everything. Like a fae, he's prone to deals and trades and loves games that may or may not be a bit sketchy. On the other hand, if someone is very genuine with him, he's probably going to get attached and try to help out. Probably flirtatiously.
CONTENT WARNING: Murder, considering the event, is likely to come up. Maybe suicide since Seimei is known for dying/sacrificing himself only to return dramatically like a party trick. Potentially also body horror and monster transformations.
