About you: they/them. I'm a welder, hilariously enough at a past job I worked on high speed passenger trains for Siemens Mobility so there's that. I have five zebra finches, two cats, a few snails (one land, the others are aquarium) and a betta fish. And about 80 house plants. Fandoms I've been hella active in in the past include Dragon Age and Dragonlance.


(Cue sitcom opening credits music.)

Character: Koumyou Sanzo
Canon: Saiyuki
Cabin and team: Sleeper 1 cabin C, Blue
Little bit about them: Koumyou is a Sanzo priest, which is the highest rank in Buddhism on his world, answering only to the gods themselves. He loves to act like an idiot, but it's completely an act and almost entirely to amuse himself. Though he no longer believes in "hold nothing", per se, he's still very aloof behind all that friendliness and will resist making attachments. (Also, he died in canon and figures this is just a pit stop on his way to reincarnation back on his world, so he has even less reason to care about... anything.)
Hopes and dreams: I'm down for just about anything! I kind of always assume CR with Koumyou will stay pretty superficial because of the stuff I mentioned above, but I'm definitely open to deeper rp if it happens. If it doesn't, that's fine too, I knew what I was signing up for with this character. :) He acts very friendly and will be easy to drag into shenanigans and mischief, all while being terribly observant and occasionally prone to showing it when he decides to act like a priest for a minute. He's actually extremely good at his job despite what he'd claim.

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)

[runicfeathers]

Gonna forever pester about seein those meeps (finches) now (and add on plurk if that's ok)

Also I'll throw Willow at this dude too, she can bird at him, or something

[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

Contact: Ammeschan, Discord: Ammeschan#5385
About you: I am in EST, not that that seems to matter since my sleep is all over the place. I am watching a ton of different animes, as I try to watch as many as I can from each season, and I play lots of video games like FFXIV mostly. I crochet things. I'm incredibly boring...also I've done this before XD. I did not get more interesting since I last did this.


Character: Yoite
Canon: Nabari no Ou
Cabin and team: He is on team Blue and Cabin 2-D
Little bit about them: Yoite is a ninja in the world of Nabari. His entire life he's been a victim of abuse and the technique he uses is destroying his body from the inside out. He already has no sense of taste, no sense of touch on his fingertips, completely deaf most of the time and sometimes he goes completely blind. However, he's the protective type and the fact his skills are killing him are of no matter, he will still use them to protect the one he cares about. He has a fluffy scarf that someone made him, that was the best gift he ever got :D

Hopes and dreams: I want all the CR, which is just how I am. It would be nice for Yoite to come out of his shell a little more and make friends. Friends are nice. He needs some nice things, really.



Yoite is the tall boy and that is his friend Miharu.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Answered on disco but yes, bird at him! At least she's not a raven.

[its_dad_sanzo]

He sounds like a total sweetheart gosh.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Gonna have to priest at the sad kid more!

[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.

[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

[lanxichen]

I will poke later! Work hours now so snatching moments here and there. ... and I'm not yet in the Void discord... I'll see if I get brain for it. (I love servers but also attention sometimes needs to be more focused.) But if you get a serious curious, the canon (novel, but soon to be drama? too?) is called Liu Yao and the translation is moooost of the way through. Though not quite there yet.

(Yeeeeah. We are all going to try better.)

That would do it. Interaction of her and spiritual energy should be exciting.

[runicfeathers]

All good! I have a non-existent sleep schedule so poke any time and I'll respond whenever I am awake. I'm p good at remembering timezones so I also try and not poke when people are asleep. (Eastern Europe timezone iirc is the same as Finland's where an ex of mine is, which is 10hr ahead of me. But I do agree re: servers, tho there's a plotting channel in there separate from gen chat)
I've seen that mentioned on Plurk, I may have to give it a look in Seriousness.

I can't wait TBH, she's still a little grumpy but she's kind beneath her /current/ dilemma she's not over yet

[lanxichen]

YUP same time zone. Whee ten hours, though not exactly that right now but soon again. (DST reasons.) It's easy to calculate, at least.

Right now there are things about Liu Yao because it seems the audio drama will be launching soon, so there is art; and there is? going to be? information about the live action drama. And the translations are still ongoing (one from viet which is further ahead and one directly from mandarin which is catching up). So! Things.

Oh no baby. Then again, it's Xichen, he can handle grumpy.

[runicfeathers]

Oh good, then that'll be easy to calculate!

All the chinhandsing at this :3c it sounds like such a treat

It's fine it's cool, just watch your future wife nearly die in front of you and soon as you revive her with binding your souls together, a magic train yanks you away! NBD, IT'S FINE! (It's not and she's still huffy, to put it mildly. I may or may not have a character theme here lol.) If XiChen can handle an oblivious dummy with *mostly* grace, he can handle anything lbr.

[comefadeaway]

He can certainly try! Yoite already feels compelled to curl up in a corner somewhere out of the way. So many people.

[tactlesstantei]

Cabin 1-C, you say?

Anyways I’m Absol, and I just have Sera here. She’s also in 1-C, so I guess they’ll be roommates.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Oh my god they were roommates.

(Also hi! Koumyou is a troublemaker who whines a lot but at least he doesn't usually wake up in the middle of the night screaming like half his castmates do. Usually.)

[iamnotgod]

/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.

for once I enabled someone!
