Name: Kiki
Contact: kikibug13
About you: I'm on Eastern European time, so availability can seem a bit random. A software tester, which means work days sometimes destroy my energy for thinking things but I do my best when I can. Interests these days are a lot of Chinese danmei (m/m) stories with a spattering of more Chenese stories, some Final Fantasy, some musicals, some more books, and also cats. And occasionally food.

Character: Lan Huan, courtesy name Xichen, Lan Sect Leader, Zewu-jun. (Lan Xichen usually.)
Canon: Lan Xichen is the elder brother of Lan Wangji who has been here for a few months. They look very much alike (Xichen has darker eyes, he used to smile more, and they wear their hair a little differently) and yes, they are both from fantasy olden China with inner alchemy/cultivation/magic and zombies. He's slightly AU (novel versus live action drama) adoptive uncle to Lan Sizhui, and sworn brother (to be, in one case) to Nie Mingjue and Meng Yao. He is Connected.
Cabin and team: Sleeper 1, cabin D. Team Orange. He is unsure about wearing colors this bright.
Little bit about them: Xichen is gentle and kind, was betrayed pretty badly (by someone who is here from a VERY early canon point so he hasn't even begun to go there) and then again by someone else (who ... also doesn't know) so he's a very sad sweet panda these days.
Also there is a permissions/opt out post here, so let me know about things to steer away from.
Hopes and dreams: I... want many things? Reconnecting with castmates and au castmates, new cr - he is good with (un)dead things and also some healing (not quite as good at Wen Qing, she actually picked that as her job). He's also kind of depressed, so people who can soothe him out of it a bit will be good. He won't trust as easily as he used to but he will still listen to the stories of all sides before deciding.

/Flops in here with a phoenix girl.

Eyy it be Ren, Willow here is also on Orange team (fitting when you have scarlet hair and golden eyes) and I'm trying to nudge her out and get more friendships after her own set of issues happened in her own world. She could probably offer friendship of her own and she's already talked with a few of the cast members and would already protect two of them with her life (but made a bad decision helping Xue Yang... which might bite her later in the butt). She might confuse him for lwj at first, so do forgive her mistakes.

(and if I'm not mistaken, we also share a game in MoM where I play Gladion)

[lanxichen]

HI HI I'm looking forward to phoenix girl. Which he will probably need explanation about the phoenix since the fire bird in his background ... doesn't do the whole rebirth thing.

And yes go ahead and confuse him despite the ORANGE.

[runicfeathers]

Willow is VERY private about being a phoenix, but if it ever comes up that she is one (only one passenger currently knows she is one, which is curufin), she'll privately explain about that to him. But have him promise not to divulge that information since she's got some big understandable fears of people finding out.

As per bird, sometimes she's... not the brightest at times. Generally very but sometimes a dunce. It's not her fault the twin jades look sorta similar, even if lxc has a softer expression!

[lanxichen]

... lmao I have a character from a different book who has a shimei who is half yao / divine bird beast, he'd probably very much appreciate her. Anyway.

(Also yes, I have Xichen in MoM too but... the drama version.)

But yesh looking forward.

[runicfeathers]

Willow is simple (jokingly):
if they're a bird, have bird, or love bird; she approves

(aaah I thought so, I should have the blond brat meet him... he's already getting to talk to others and it's only a matter of time before jingyi has gladion meet the entire family, LOL)

She's got natural skill with healing, so that could be a common point with these two :3c

[lanxichen]

Aww yeah that would totally remind Cheng Qian of Han Tan... oh well. Different game.

(I have been so *slow* but there are open things to poke at, especially if he's around the house.)

oh NO that is lovely. /chinhands

[runicfeathers]

I would LOVE to hear more about this wonderful individual :o I'm always pesterable on discord pfft, it's at the top of my Plurk above my muselist. Or just add me through the Voidtreckers discord if you're in it

(MoM has been... Mega slow for me too dw on being slow, but I'll absolutely have to make the kid more active this next month)

/Eyebrow waggle
Hey, hey XiChen, wanna learn some more healing skills? A birb can teach. Sorta happens when you're a being of fire who has some holy aligned aspects to you

[its_dad_sanzo]

He sounds like a total sweetheart gosh.

[lanxichen]

He is! I mean he's also a fighty bean and has been through a three-year war, so he's not necessarily pure and innocent - he wouldn't think himself so - but he is a sweetheart.

/plops a roommate in here/ Hello! :D This is Ace from plurk (though I'm still on plurk hiatus for now, aheh), and this fellow here is a digital intelligence compressed from being everywhere in the World Wide Web into one human-sized robot.

He's the gregarious sort, and will be happy to help LXC adjust (as will Nita if they happen to meet) - though he won't be able to help directly with all the orange wardrobe going on!

I've also hit up the permissions post - and while I don't think the MDZS canon has any cause for worry with Webmind, I have one for him in turn here.

[lanxichen]

Nita is always love and yess roomie. Who will be very confusing because calculation tech-wise they have... abacus. I believe. So muuuch ground for misunderstanding!

And yes thank you, I'll poke at that in turn.

[iamnotgod]

... If it helps any, A-Qing categorized him as a knowledge/lightning spirit? XD

So yes, fun for all the family!

[fun_thementalist]

Well at least these two can bond on hating orange?

But really, Gen is very friendly, and considering how much Xue Yang has meddled in his life it'd probably be a good idea if he bonds with someone less murdery from his canon. :D

[lanxichen]

... 'hate' might be a strong word when it comes to Xichen, he's just. Surprised. Golden colors and red are both things he's used to, but.

And awww yes, definitely less murdery. Xichen is a lot sweeter and gentler so that should work!

[fun_thementalist]

Surprisingly Xue has meddled for good? So far? At least as far as Gen is concerned?

But he is still very sus of the only (currently) known stabber on the train.

I look forward to them interacting together! Welcome to the Void!

[diamondsfortears]

Kiki! It's good to be in a game with you again! I look forward to bouncing Daia off of Lan Huan!

[lanxichen]

Yesyesyes hi! And I'm looking forward!

[ayao]

♥ Forever longing.

[lanxichen]

A-Yao...

[ayao]

Smooches. ;;

[knifewithnoname]

Hey Kiki! Welcome to the game. I play Little One (an OC) here as well as Romeo (Romeo's Blue Skies) and Taiki (12 Kingdoms)

I think Lan Xichen would get on very well with Taiki, they are the same brand of gentle and kind.

[lanxichen]

Ohhh they all do sound interesting and that is very nice - he has a good number of complications so gentle and kind in turn will be very lovely.

[ramengroupie]

Welcome, new teammate who is also rather.....ambivalent....about the vivid clothing.

If it helps any, at least the whole TRAIN is a sea of orange...?

[lanxichen]

Thank you, thank you...

And that might not exactly help but it's how it is, he'll deal. Just very quietly dubious.
