SPECIES: Spirit - Qilin 麒麟
PERSONALITY:
| Loyal | Self-sacrificing | Gentle | Reserved | Compliant | Disillusioned | Irresponsible | Dependant | Righteous |
Extreme selflessness is its own form of selfishness. Because Lingxi thinks that as long as he's willing to give his life up for a cause, he doesn't have to deal with the aftermath. He has a problem with responsibility and thus is compliant and easy to arrange in daily life. It's only for matters that he strongly believes in that he'll leave his comfort zone and fight for it. Because of this, he's very attracted to people who are purposeful and ambitious and have strong ideals they fight for.
He tries to close himself up emotionally and rarely gets attached anymore. After all, there's no happy ending to giving his sincerity away. But despite telling himself this, he can't help what he feels, and when he loves, he loves wholeheartedly with no regard for himself.
In general interactions with others, he keeps a smooth veneer of being unaffected, like a stream flowing around all obstructions. He's learnt that if he just lets go of things more, he'll be happier in the long run.
HISTORY:
There were many things that Lingxi did not remember. When he had tried to remember, he would remember a grand hall veiled in layers upon layers of red drapery. He would remember running through the labyrinth of muslin, remember the light that had illuminated the sheer fabrics and the silhouette it had revealed. Then he would remember falling into a lotus pond as the world shook itself apart and his soul—
And then he woke up. He woke up to a pristinely preserved palace. He woke up to a man named Wangxiao.
Wangxiao told him: "I'll take care of you. Trust me. I won't let this happen ever again."
The fervent look in his eyes had made Lingxi want to believe him.
But Lingxi wanted to leave this place. He had searched the palace high and low for the grand hall of red muslin, but there was no hall nor lotus pond nor the silhouette he could remember every time he close his eyes. In fact, there were no people apart from Wangxiao and himself. There were no people even outside of the palace when he left it, not in the long stretches of meadow or in the eerily empty towns. How peculiar, a whole world of only remnants of people, echos resounding through every absence where someone should be. He felt like he was going crazy every time he started thinking about it too much. Wangxiao finally took pity on him and brought him to a different world.
"This is the mortal world," Wangxiao said. "Don't get attached. They die very quickly."
And the funny thing was, Lingxi honestly thought he wouldn't get attached. He didn't think he'd get attached when he wandered into a bordertown and saw a battalion of soldiers march through. He didn't think he'd get attached when he saw the commander riding out in front on his stallion, cutting a striking silhouette. He only truly felt the danger when the man turned around and caught his gaze; and he was caught. Ten thousand years in a single glance, captured for ten thousand years more. The commander turned out to be a prince with high aspirations for the throne and for the kingdom. Lingxi discovered that he was quite good at killing in order to build military achievements for his prince. He was infamous for his Soul Scattering Technique where he could end an entire enemy army without suffering any losses on their side. His prince once asked him if he was a cultivator, and Lingxi could only answer that he couldn't remember. Later his prince became the Crown Prince and then the Emperor when his Imperial father died, and Lingxi was made Imperial tutor. But the haze of this beautiful dream had to end when one of the other princes rebelled, and Lingxi was sent to eliminate the rebellion army.
He scattered the rebellion army easily enough but the price paid was a seal put over him. Later he would understand, this seal was called 'Ten Thousand Lives Debt'. In exchange for the sacrifice of ten thousand lives, the seal would force the killer to bend to the Will of the Sealer and of Heaven. The Sealer was the other prince, whose first order was to go kill the Emperor.
And so Lingxi went. He went and killed his prince, his Emperor, his ten thousand years. Wangxiao was right. They did die very quickly. But despite dying very quickly, there was always another Emperor to take his place. And so Lingxi spent a few hundred years locked up in the Imperial Palace, acting as a personal bodyguard for Emperor after Emperor, killing any opposition that might arise. After all, no matter how benevolent an Emperor might seem, having a Qilin in the Palace was too much of a status symbol of power and righteousness to be allowed to leave captivity.
But now Lingxi has arrived at Bianjing, refusing to talk about how he managed to escape from the Imperial Palace.
LIKES:
- Having someone who'll talk and spend time with him
- Children and animals. He especially likes teaching children, but his problems with responsibility make him a bad guardian
- Sightseeing and travelling
- People who have righteous morals and want to better the world. Especially people who are ambitious and willing to take action
- Playing the guqin
- White jade
- Being trapped and his free will taken from him
- People in positions of power who are selfish and corrupt
- Backstabbers
- Bitter foods and beverages (doesn't drink tea, doesn't want to eat medicine, etc)
- Showing his own weaknesses in front of other people
ABILITIES:
Strengths:
Soul Scattering Technique: Uses his own spiritual force to explode outwards and scatter the souls of his targets. But after the Ten Thousand Lives Debt, he can only use it when commanded to by the Sealer. He can't use it of his own free will or for self protection unless ordered to. His morals also make him very reluctant to use this technique. Therefore despite being a powerful technique, it's basically nullified since he can't use it of his own free will and he doesn't want to use it in the first place.
Swordsmanship: His only self defence is some swordsmanship that he picked up along the way when some Emperors wanted him to pick up sword dancing. But because of his weak constitution and lack of strength, his swordsmanship can only be considered decorative.
Qinggong: His memory of cultivation techniques only extends this far.
Seal Master: He used to be a Seal Master but unfortunately he doesn't remember that at all.
Weaknesses:
Ten Thousand Lives Debt: Because of this, he's basically been turned into a killing machine with no free will, forced to obey all the orders of the Will of Heaven (aka the Emperor).
Wilfully ignorant: A lot of the time, he subconsciously realises or suspects something, but refuses to think deeper on it because it would make his life more difficult. So he pretends that everything is fine and lets it fester.
Physically weak: physically maybe even weaker than a normal human, so it's a huge disadvantage for him that he can't used his spiritual techniques.
