Character Information


Character Canon: Heavenly Official's Blessing
Character Name: Shi Qingxuan
Character Canonpoint: Ch. 100 + ~1 year in [community profile] prismatica
Character Age: ~750, physically a young adult.
Character Appearance in Game: Shi Qingxuan is a human man (who is sometimes a human woman) with long, black hair, bright, green eyes, and pale skin. He stands at 186cm in male form and 176cm in female form. His build is described as slender and graceful, and he prefers to wear white. Because of his stay in Prismatica, he has an arctic fox tail which changes from black in the warm months to white in the cold months.

Link to Character History:
Once upon a time, a wealthy merchant family welcomed in a second son, and while (or because) his birth was celebrated, he was cursed by a demon at his one-month ceremony. This demon would follow him for life and bring misfortune to him and everyone he cared for, but his family learned they could trick it by disguising the little Shi Qingxuan as a girl. Shi Qingxuan's family fell to ruin, and eventually it was just Shi Qingxuan and his older brother, Shi Wudu. Shi Wudu worked hard to be a cultivator, and one day while he was practicing, he lost track of time and was late coming home. Shi Qingxuan, ten years old, climbed up the mountain where he trained to find him, but it was then that the demon found him again.

From there, the demon haunted and cursed Shi Qingxuan, driving fear into his heart. When Shi Qingxuan was sixteen, his brother became a god and brought him up to the Heavenly Realm. Yet, he still was not safe from the demon. The only way he could be safe was if he ascended to godhood himself...

...Then one day, Shi Qingxuan actually did ascend! He became the Wind Master alongside his brother, the Water Master, and they became two of the most powerful gods in Heaven. Shi Qingxuan was generous, fun-loving, and fair, and he was always surrounded by friends. He had one best friend, the Earth Master, who would carry out his divine duties alongside him. One day, the Crown Prince of Xianle reascended, and Shi Qingxuan became fast friends with him as well. At the Mid-Autumn Banquet, Shi Qingxuan ranked eighth amongst all the Upper Heaven Officials, and everything was good in his life.

Then, all of a sudden, he and the Crown Prince of Xianle were flung to another planet! But everything was still just fine, and Shi Qingxuan lived his best life making friends, trying new things, and falling in love.

Shi Qingxuan lived a good and happy life.

Link to Character Abilities or Powers:
Divinity: Although he's not a warrior by any means, he is stronger than a normal person and more durable than one, too. As a god, he is somewhat immortal; things that would be fatal to a human aren't fatal to him, and he recovers more quickly than a human would. Not that getting inured won't be painful or leave him needing to recover and see a doctor... He can still die, just not as easily.

Spiritual Power: Shi Qingxuan's abilities and spells work based on spiritual power. Although his spiritual power can regenerate on its own, he can also burn it away by using it too much or too intensely. Conversely, he can transfer his spiritual power to another to give them a boost, but the ability to use it would depend on the receiver's own training and knowledge.

He can also use his spiritual power for other practical purposes such as creating flames he can carry in his hands (palm torch), toss the flame somewhere, or project his spiritual power either outward like a weapon or use it to surround himself like a barrier that can sort of protect him (it at least will tell him if something gets too close!), moving objects around remotely, shoving himself into jars...

Arrays: Arrays are kinda like spell circles that one draws in order to cast a spell, and the strength of the array depends on the skill and power of the user, the material used to create the array (fresh blood = good), and any items used to enhance its strength, such as treasures or spiritual devices. Arrays can be broken if they're damaged. A few kinds of arrays that he can make are protection arrays, which create a barrier to keep things in or out, and distance-shortening arrays, which are essentially teleportation as long as connection points are established.

Communication Array: Telepathic communication so long as at least one party knows the other's password. Group communication arrays can also be set up and follow the same rules. This also runs on spiritual power.

Wind Mastery: The Wind Master can...manipulate wind! While he generally uses his fan for this, he can reasonably also manipulate wind currents even without it, but likely not to the "summoning winds to make a tornado" degree he can with his fan.

Sex-Switching Spell: He can change into a woman and back into a man. It's a complete swap with even his spiritual energy changing. He can't change others; this only works on himself, but he can teach others the spell so long as they have the ability to use spiritual power. He's more powerful and luckier in his female form.

(Conditional) Maerchenhaft Power: N/A

Character Personality (3 Strengths, 2 Weaknesses):
Strengths:
Lively and easy to get along with, not one to stress over petty details, generous. And let's not forget he's also kind and righteous, funny and carefree!

While this is a lot of ridiculous praise, he truly is easygoing and kind, and he's one of the few gods that truly doesn't care about others' status or reputation when it comes to befriending and supporting. He likes to drink and laugh and party, and he has the kind of warm and easygoing demeanor that attracts people to him. He likes to judge people first on their actions before anything else, and if he likes what he sees, he's very easy to win over!

On the other side, be knows what people want and how to win them over. Sometimes that means tossing out money. Sometimes it means giving the other party a way to save a bit more face when the truth of the situation doesn't leave much. So really, he knows how to make people happy enough and how to make things easier for them, and he's full of both generous words and actions.

He is a bit of an idealist and believes in justice and fairness. Not only that, but he is also very confident in his choices and views, so he isn't easily swayed by others. He will defend people no matter who they are, and he can treat people with respect and address them politely even if he truly cannot stand them. He believes in redemption and will support those that he sees making an honest effort to change for the better.

Weaknesses:
In a few small ways, Shi Qingxuan's weak points are in his childish attitude and the way he hates being ignored and is easily offended when someone insults him. He is not above it all.

But as far as more major flaws go, Shi Qingxuan believes in justice and he doesn't care whose toes he steps on or who he offends in doing this. He can't help but butt in even if he shouldn't, and he needs to know the full truth of any conflict. As before, he will always defend the innocent and protect them.

Except...

Shi Qingxuan is also loyal to a fault. His loyalty comes at the price of having difficulty in seeing the wrong in others and in wanting to see them punished for their actions, even if they deserve it. If one had to say which side Shi Qingxuan ultimately stands on, it would be the middle. He is one to stand by his friends and his brother no matter what. He doesn't like doubting them, and will vehemently defend them against accusations against them. Yet even with his justice-seeking nature, learning that the people he's closest to aren't as trustworthy or just as he believes them to be, he still can't help wanting a resolution where everyone is happy...even if that is impossible, even if one party undoubtedly wronged the other.
