CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Wei Wuxian (courtesy name) | Wei Ying (given name). Since courtesy names were dropped in the modern era, "Wei Ying" is the name on his birth certificate.
CANON: Mo Dao Zu Shi
CANON REFERENCE: Wiki entry
History, not covered on wiki
Canon abilities in the novel
AGE: 35
GENDER: Male
CHARACTER TYPE: Meta-Human
APPEARANCE: Canon appearance for reference. However, this is more along the lines of what his appearance will be in the AU. The main difference is that his hair is shorter and his fashion sense has been updated to be more modern. He also has surgery scars hidden in his hair.

PERSONALITY: We would like at least four paragraphs here. If you can do more, that's great, but anything less will be given an automatic revision. What we want here are the ins and outs of the character. Their motivations, personal strengths, and weaknesses. What makes them tick, so to speak. This is not a history section. If at all possible, please back up major personality points with canon examples. Cite canon whenever possible. If there are some differences in the personality due to the AU nature of the game, please note them here, but remember that your character's personality cannot be too drastically different. The core character should remain the same.

POWERS & ABILITIES: Wei Wuxian has the meta-human ability to interdimensionally tap into and manipulate dark energy, a theoretical form of energy conceptually similiar to dark matter, that makes up space and is said to permeate 68% of the observable universe. It's said to be homogenous, less dense than many known forms of energy, and a contributing force to the universe. In this AU, it manifests as black shadows and energy mist that no light can illuminate. At first glance, it's easy to mistake dark energy for ordinary darkness but upon closer inspection, it possesses the impenetrable blackness of outer space.

Due to its nature, dark energy is violently destructive and direct when used against people or objects. Wei Wuxian can harness it in the form of explosive 'energy bombs' that cause a circle of destruction that will cause extensive damage to a property or a person. Most of the time, these are very tiny and used primarily as self-defense but he could theoretically create one powerful enough to destroy a car or potentially level a building He can also use solidified dark energy to create physical constructs such as simple weapons and puppets to perform physical labor. These constructs have an extremely short shelf-life, lasting only five minutes before reverting back into energy, but they're pretty durable while they do last. The most constructs he can maintain at once is two. He is able to open tiny dimensional rifts where he can store objects, akin to anime hammerspace or a bag of holding.

It has to be said that dark energy, for all its potential power, comes with grave setbacks. It's wildly unstable and difficult for Wei Wuxian to control. All too often, it backfires and can literally blow up in his face and it takes an extreme amount of concentration to be able to use it in a way that isn't horribly destructive. Given that he's essentially a human conduit for a cosmic force, it takes a heavy toll on Wei Wuxian's mental and physical health. Wei Wuxian can lose awareness of time and space, control over his own emotions, and can even start experiencing auditory hallucinations which can cause his behavior to turn erratic and hostile. Lastly, his body treats the dark energy flowing through him as a foreign body, resulting in internal bleeding and coughing up blood. If he's lucky, he'll simply collapse from exhaustion and recover with bedrest.

Since it's so dangerous and unpredictable and he has other health issues from the risky neurocybernetic installed in his brain, Wei Wuxian is extremely reluctant to use his meta-human abilities except as a last resort when other people's lives are on the line and he keeps the usage minimal and brief. He prefers to rely on his mundane abilities as much as possible.

As for what his mundane abilties are, Wei Wuxian received quite a bit of specialized training while he was part of a terrorist cell within Yakashbah. He was on of the top marksmen and snipers within the organization, and highly skilled at driving motorcycles and hoverbikes. He was a very agile and adept knife fighter back in his youth but he is thirteen years out of practice with it and all his other combat skills. He had natural charisima and a talent for mentorship and leadership in crisis situations, traits that made him an effective leader of his cell within the Yakashbah and unfortunately, his enemies' chosen target for assassination.

As far as academics go, he's very good at math, science, and a stunningly skilled artist and musician.

AU HISTORY: This is the meat of the AU. We want a detailed history of their character. Their early life, how the conditions of New Gate City have affected them, how they came to discover they are a Meta-human (if applicable), and what lead them to where they are in life now. There is no hard limit on how long this needs to be, but if we feel it is too barebones, there will be a revision, so please do what you can.

SAMPLES

Here is where you link RP samples! While we'll accept any format of thread for these, we'd like to have two (or more) different ones to go through, with at least five or more comments from your character present. Because this is an AU game, we request all samples reflect the AU of your character. Samples can be from the TDM, a musebox, or a meme!
