Anything Else?: Hello, I'm Gray! I'm EST, a full-time media archivist and part-time student, so availability can be a little wonky sometimes but I do my best to keep up. Interests include D&D, Critical Role, C-Dramas, getting back into anime, and watching entirely too many game LPs because I am terrible at actually playing them.

Character: Zhou Zishu
Canon: Word of Honor
Canon Point: Episode 31, after his rescue

Crime: Treason. Turns out permanently injuring the Crown Prince is bad, even if he definitely has it coming.

Background: A former imperial spymaster and assassin who left most of his fucks behind with his old job. Since his retirement plan came with a three-years-to-live clause, he was determined to spend his remaining time doing whatever the hell he wanted, but incurable nosiness and a tendency to attract stalkers very determined new friends got him involved with found family and dramatic macguffin plots despite his best efforts. Tends to swing between sarcastic politeness and grumpy old uncle depending on what amuses him more at any given moment. Watches more than he wants to let on and cares more than he'll ever be willing to admit.

Abilities: He's a highly skilled wuxia martial artist, so he can do all sorts of physics-defying fighting both bare-handed and with a flexible sword. His sect specializes in speed and agility as well as disguise techniques because "knowing everything in the world" is not only a sect motto but a way of life.

Plans: I'm mostly interested in getting him making connections with other characters because Zhou Zishu is someone who does best when he has other people to worry about. He's doing better about opening up to people as of his canon point and I'd like to continue making him work on that. Sparring partners, drinking buddies, nosy folks who want to trade gossip information. He's also done some martial arts training, though he is definitely the tough love kind of teacher.

I'm also down for negative cr because let's face it, he can be deeply, deeply annoying when he wants to be.

???: Zhou Zishu deals with some fairly heavy stuff like suicidal ideation and self-harm, so I have an opt-out here if there are things you'd like me to avoid.
