Intro / CR Meme
INTRO / CR MEME
Welcome to Expiation! We're thrilled to have you here, new and old players alike. Please note that this intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.
As a reminder, Expiation runs on bi-monthly events. Since the game has just opened in February, we want to give players and characters some time to settle into the area and get to know other characters as well. Please note that all players / characters accepted in February are exempt from the February AC.
To give you a general overview of how the upcoming timeline will be...
17 February - Day of Devotion Mini Event
27 February - TDM #2 / Reserves Open
06 March - Reserves Close / Apps Open
13 ~ 15 March - App Processing / Intro & CR Meme

Tea | Wen Kexing & Abe no Seimei
Contact:
Anything Else?: Hello, I'm Tea! I'm in EST land, but work overnight reception at a vet clinic so my hours are a bit weird. My interests include tarot/oracle cards, horror of all kinds, Critical Role, Marvel 616 (mostly Iron Man ngl), folklore, and a variety of weird anime that usually involve youkai, cooking, or some combination of the two. Also some Cdramas and Kdramas, usually mystery/suspense and supernatural. I am a night beast.
Character: Wen Kexing
Canon: Word of Honor
Canon Point: episode 31, before reaching Zhou Zishu
Crime: Failing and abandoning his people. Technically he is leader of the miserable outcasts and terrible criminals of Mount Qingya, but he does not accept this. Fuck 'em.
Background: When Wen Kexing was a kid, his family got mixed up in a political conflict by volunteering to hide the series' McGuffin, which got his parents killed and got him thrown into the abandoned land called the Valley of Ghosts, named because only those who were dead to society lived there. He was raised among violence and self-serving schemes until he got his revenge by killing the chief of ghosts and taking over. Then he spent almost all of the next decade hating the noble groups that put him there, so he decided why NOT go for bonus revenge? Except the civilized world is really full of hot guys and he met someone and adopted a second kid, so. Best laid plans.
He's kind of a meatball anyway so his plan wasn't great to start with.
Abilities: He's got goofy fantasy martial arts so he can channel his energy to make weapons out of rocks and nuts or walk without leaving footsteps and bounce unnaturally high to rooftops, stuff like that. Martial arts, but with suspension of disbelief. He's a pretty good rudimentary medic and known for being one of the strongest fighters in his canon, partly because he has no formal training and is just wild and unpredictable. He's real good with flute and cooking?
Plans: This man has had one friend his entire life. He does not know how to friend. I would love to see how different types of people interact off of him? Also have some morality discussions since he is basically the king of villains but also the outcast heroic heir? And the neighborhood stray dog. I'd like to eventually have him come more to terms with his role as chief of the hellhole rather than denying it all like he wants to as well.

Character: Abe no Seimei
Canon: original
Canon Point: modern times, well after his last "disappearance"
Crime: Destroying the world. So it turns out when you use all your exes' resources to cut humanity off from spiritual powers they get so pissed no one talks about it? And that's the one thing no one else blames you for!
Background: He has the popular culture trappings of fan wielding, mysterious mage, but this version of Seimei is mostly some average guy wearing all of the legends and rumors built up over time. He used to be a renowned onmyouji and is pretty skilled at magic, but he's also the guy who mostly got to the top by asking a lot of favors and making friends in high places. The biggest spell he cast did really alter history by temporarily separating the human world and spiritual worlds, but that was 90% borrowed power and a very one time act--and why he has a lot of rough relationships. His whole career centered on peacekeeping and keeping the balance between all sides, so to keep humans from using appeals to gods to destroy each other, he just split everyone up. He still tries to keep the balance in modern times, but from a more tired perspective very done with politics and duties and now without most of his old ties. He worked hard, disappointed everyone, and all he has to show for it is legends of being a tyrant or demon king while he's buying canned oden from vending machines.
Abilities: His actual magic are mostly small, single use spells like charms and paper talismans that do things like cast an illusion or lock/unlock a door or cause temporary invisibility. Binding and sealing and all that take time, more setup, and raw power that he actually doesn't have a lot of without support.
- He does have natural charisma? But magical vibes so that can be off-putting or uncanny.
- He has youkai blood, so he has spiritual sight and lives a long time.
- He can channel energy if there is energy to channel. His personal reservoir is pretty mediocre currently.
- He has studied divination, but mileage may vary since time is very flexible.
- He can share a spiritual bond with other creatures in the form of a contract where both sides support each other's energy, but this is a rather outdated form of magic that not many humans still use. And he did piss off a lot of the magic community.
Plans: This man is retired and lazy and avoiding serious things. So I would love to make him take himself more seriously and learn how to reconnect. I also think it'd be fun to have him make friends as the experienced/chill supportive end? And maybe not just living in the shadow of his own work at some point. But being that annoying guy constantly asking to borrow shit and doing weird projects next door at 3am is fine too.
