meme: more than meets the eye

[seriesofbaddecisions]

It's a slow work day and I've spent the last like hour and a half trying to decide between memes and here's one we haven't done since last September that might be helpful for people, and new characters can ping in too!


There are certain characteristics about the people we play that *we* know, but we get tired of repeating in every introductory ping. There's also stuff that players wouldn't really be able to figure out just looking at an icon--how tall someone is, if they have an accent, what kind of clothes they are wearing...and in some cases, if their eyes/hair/whatever are different than the PB we've picked.

So wax poetic about what your characters look/sound like, if they have tics or scars, if they have a distinct singing voice, etc!

Wei Wuxian

[toottootmagicflute]

- 18 years old

- 6' tall. Very fit and athletic.

- Has long, straight black hair. Usually wears the top part tied up with a red ribbon and has two strands of hair loose, framing his face. Fair skin, and dark brown eyes.

- Wears long robes in multiple layers (at least 3). Usually it's black over red. If he can't get black clothes, he'll pick the darkest alternative. He always wears long sleeves, usually with black bracers around his wrists.

- Always carries a black bamboo flute with a red tassel hanging from the end. This may be tucked in his belt. If it's in his hand, he's probably spinning it in his fingers.

- He’s from ancient ahistorical magical China. He's not going to be historically accurate and is, in fact, quite fond of potatoes. (He does not like turnips.)

- He is a TERRIBLE cook. Don't let him cook for you unless you think drowning everything in chili oil until it sets your mouth on fire is a good substitute for flavor. (He once fed his cooking to teens who had recently been poisoned and they said they preferred the poison.)

- He loves alcohol. He likes the taste of it, and will describe all the flavors of it, if you let him, but he also just likes to get drunk. He’d probably be interested in trying new substances if they were offered.

- If you catch him with his shirt off, he's got a brand on the left side of his chest.

- He is a demonic cultivator (necromancer) and has the ability to sense things about the dead, like if there’s a place where there’s been a lot of murders or if bodies have been dumped without proper burial rites. He also has some power over the living dead, so he could calm someone undead who’s in a rage or provoke them into violence. You can tell me if there’s anything I should avoid, or if you’re interested in playing with that. Otherwise, I’ll check with whoever’s involved if there’s something I think he’d be noticing.

- He’s bi and has a soulmate (of the “soulmates are made” variety, thank you Good Place) but they were not together before he came to Fandom and Wei Wuxian does not, at this point, expect to see Lan Zhan again.

- Any questions?

Edit: I forgot about the accent! The show is entirely in Mandarin with subtitles. Fandom magic does the translating, yes? He'll just have a standard American accent. I think the clothes and hair will sell Not From Around Here just fine.
