Username: awry
Character name: Ximen Xiu
Character description/bio: clicky
Position(s) you are interested in: Reaper of Espionage
Potential plots/ideas:
- Avenge Els and Arrow: Given his personal connection to the two, he's pissed at the takeover, and even more pissed at himself. He'll join the efforts to push Brymstone out of the territory, but I do not see him taking a leadership role. He would prefer to keep his head down and strategize traps, assassinations, ect without all the bothersome charisma and extroversion required to keep a rebellion going.
- Adopting the local customs: Despite staying in Tanglewoods for a while, Xi hasn’t fully accepted the culture; he always considered his loyalty to Tanglewoods as tangental to his loyalty to his sister, but that’ll change over time, especially with the takeover plot. The most notable points for this will be the upcoming funerals and adopting the masks. And potentially using the tree markers to warn others about his traps!
Why would your character's position be beneficial for their group and what do you offer to the group as a whole?:
- Sneaky Boy Tactics: Xi's a lazy boy by design; this extends to how he sees battle strategies and territory control. He's the sort of bastard that would setup harmless traps in his house to keep others from waking him up in the middle of a nap. He's a good fit for Tanglewood's "gtfo of my swamp" vibes.
- Not a Deus Ex Machina: Despite being interested in spying and battle tactics, Xi's not a "powerhouse" of a character. He doesn't have the necessary powers and charisma to walk into another group, pretend to join in a fresh body, and waltz out with information--which means he's used to being creative to solve his problems. Xi breaks the stereotype of “emotionally constipated military man” which I think fits well with Tanglewoods’ swampy outcast family.
- HP Experience and Plotting: I’ve played several HPs in the past on Bob (notably Ninazu, Rosemary, and Vale) and am experienced in throwing a multitude of plots at the wall to see what sticks.
