CHARACTER SERIES: Mo Dao Zu Shi | Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
[OOC]
Backtagging: Yes!
Threadhopping: Ask first just to make sure! However, threadhopping network threads is totally okay with me!
Fourthwalling: No, please.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): Graphic depictions of brutal sexual assault, cannibalism, pedophilia, necrophilia, and extreme gore are all sensitive subjects for me so please use content warnings in the subject line of your tags so I don't get blindsided by upsetting content. If there's something not listed here that you're unsure I'l be okay with, please just ask me about it directly.
[IC]
Hugging this character: Sure! WWX is pretty laidback and physically affectionate so he won't be too bothered by it. He may take it as permission to hug or hang off your character from that point onward so be mindful of that.
Kissing this character: Probably yes but it might be a good idea to discuss it first since his reaction will depend on the circumstances. There could be potential IC consequences coming from Lan Wangji's direction given that he's been shown to have a jealous streak over WWX in their canon.
Flirting with this character: Sure but keep in mind that WWX is highly oblivious when it comes to romance to a trainwreck extent. Even the most dedicated and blatant flirting will likely go right over his head and straight into the ocean where it will be completely forgotten about. That said, while he can be an incorrigible flirt himself, there's generally not any actual romantic intent behind it. He's also more or less spoken for by his canon love interest so as long as you're okay with no ship coming from it, flirt away.
Fighting with this character: Sure! Presently, WWX is adjusting to a new body that's weaker than what he's used to so he doesn't have an accurate gauge for what his physical limits are just yet. That said, he's very adept at dodging and using improvised objects to block incoming attacks. He's also very accurate with thrown projectiles or with archery. In his youth, he was a highly skilled swordsman though he's 13+ years out of practice and in a body lacking muscle memory so his abilities in this department are significantly impaired. The main things to be on the lookout for is that he's able to raise undead creatures up to the size of a dog to fight for him. Right now, WWX is limited to just one at a time and can control it to a limited extent through whistling; if he loses control of it, it will simply go on a mindless rampage and attack whoever's in the area without discrimination until he regains it. He also uses magical talismans in fights and is very skilled at tripping opponents and sticking one on their backs. The main one he'll use here is his Pin talisman which will weigh the target down so they can't move. The effect is temporary and can be cancelled by WWX simply removing the talisman. These talismans burn up after one use and there's limits to how many times he can use them and heavily dependent on what he has in stock. For the most part, WWX will just use them to trap an opponent long enough to make an escape.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Minor injuries and bruises are always fine. If something might seriously injure him and lay him up for longer than a day or two, ask me first!
Killing this character: Possibly but discuss it with me first!
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure! Characters with these abilities are always welcome to reference whatever's referenced in introspection in tags. If you're looking for something deeper, let's discuss it! Be warned though, WWX has a lot of repressed memories that are simply put pure nightmare fuel that could potentially leave the character traumatized after the fact.
Warnings: WWX is a very brazen and shameless person with a poor sense of appropriate boundaries. In his canon, he has some kinks like BDSM and consensual noncon roleplay but due to the game rules about sexual content, I plan to avoid having him bring those up outside of private inbox threads so it'll be very easy to opt out of reading about them. His background also deals with some dark and disturbing subjects such as war, violence, torture, implied cannibalism of the dead in order to survive, genocide, and mass murder but he's extremely unlikely to even mention it much less discuss it any sort of detail with anyone but his closest CR. WWX also suffers from severe PTSD; most of the time it manifests in the form of traumatic amnesia and flashbacks. Canines are a very powerful trigger for him; it doesn't matter how non-threatening the canine is, it's going to send him screaming and crying up a tree trying to get away from it. WWX is utterly incapable of managing this phobia at all.
As a general rule, if there's a subject you'd rather avoid completely, just let me know. Other than that, I'll try my best to be diligent with content warnings so no one's blindsided by something unpleasant.
Permissions for Musical Influencing
WWX has the conscious ability to influence the moods of subjects through his flute playing. Like most of his cultivation abilities, he uses this pretty sparingly and only in special circumstances where it's the clearest and fastest solution to an ongoing problem other methods have failed at.
Faster, chaotic tunes agitate and invoke hostility in the subject, putting them in a state of upset or unrest. The longer and more intensely he plays, the stronger and pronounced the effects are and the target may become more prone to hostile feelings of annoyance, frustration, anxiety, and anger. At its height, the target might feel rage, hatred, and a compulsion to single-mindedly destroy a perceived enemy.
Slower, softer melodies have a soothing effect that induces calm and feelings of peacefulness. They ease feelings of worry, strife, and agitation, relaxing the subject and lulling the subject into a docile, peaceful state. While they won't put the subject to sleep outright, the subject may relax to the point they feel relaxed to the point to drowsiness at its uppermost limit.
All in all, the subject remains in full control of their own thoughts, decisions, and actions, mainly this ability only effects the emotional backdrop behind them, so to speak.
If you want to have your character be influenced by his flute music and snap out of its effects at any time, that's easy to do. WWX is 13 years out of practice as a flutist so it's very easy to have him flub his playing to produce a diminished effect on your character if that's what you want. If you wish to opt out of this entirely, that's not a problem either!
As a general rule, I'll always check in with a player first before having WWX use this ability in a thread just to make sure permissions and limits are set before it comes into play. However, if you wanna plot/discuss this in advance, here is a very brief form for folks to fill out and comment with below:
If you ever change your mind and want to grant or revoke permissions with this ability, all you have to do is ask and I'll work with you!
