Character Name/Alias: Jin Guangyao (birthname: Meng Yao)
Character age: 36
Canon: Mo Dao Zu Shi
Canon point: Upon Death. Novel Chapter 108
History: WIKIA link
Appearance: here. Since I am pulling him from just before his death, he would come in missing his right hand. I want to have him earn a prosthetic hand later and work towards upgrades, if possible since it may open more CR opportunities for him.
Personality:
Jin Guangyao is the bastard son of a prostitute mother and a Sect Leader of the wealthiest clan in the cultivation world. Because of this, society looked down on him, and both he and his mother had to suffer many indignities throughout his early life. His mother's dying wish was for him to join his father's sect and be a filial son. The first time he tried to get recognized by his father was after his mother died, in which his father then had his men kick him down the stairs in response. He didn't give up, bowing and trying to make a name for himself and earn recognition. He moved through half his life with this goal in mind, only achieving it after killing Wen Ruohan, a warlord who had started a multi-sect war. However, the gentry could never see past his birth, and so he grew insecure and resentful over the continued cruelty he faced from society. For example, people often wiped their cups after he served them tea as if touching something that he touched dirtied them. People would constantly put him down for his low birth, but he tampered his resentment and offered them a smile instead.
Guangyao exudes an immense amount of control not only in his actions but in his outward expressions as well, usually keeping a pleasant facade. He is an excellent actor who can go from looking pitiable one moment to malicious the next. He also has an eidetic memory and both kindnesses and cruelties put upon him are never forgotten. Nie Mingjue, the first sect leader to take him in and later his sworn brother, called this a great talent.
He is resourceful, intelligent, adaptable, and will do whatever it takes to survive. He doesn't have much of an issue doing morally questionable things, even if it goes against his values, as long as it ensures his survival or ambitions. After all, with the position he was born into, he was forced to climb up to being Chief Cultivator with only his resourcefulness and some blood on his hands along the way. He had done horrible things in his life, killing his father, his sworn brother, and rival clan members. He had also tortured people under authoritarian rulers and burned a whole brothel down with people still inside.
However, he also did a lot of good. Under his leadership, there were 13 years of austerity; he built twelve-hundred watch towers in remote places to keep a broader watch on civilians who may encounter danger. He even got all the sects to work together to financially back and enact the project. This measure saved more lives than any other in the cultivation world's recent history. And the money that cannot pay for the services came from his clan's coffers. He built a temple on top of the brothel where he was born, and it was this temple that gave food and medicine to the poor city that surrounded it. Jin Guangyao is and always will be an end justifies the means person.
Ultimately, Guangyao is fifteen traumas tied together in an ugly hat. He is an incredibly complex person who chameleons his way through society to be given basic respect. He is not afraid to kill for that respect, either. But under all of that, he is a man who wants to do good and make his mother proud despite the many sins he has committed.
What did they do to end up here?:
(CW: for incest, suicide, patricide) What crime didn't he commit? I have his entire rap sheet here. Definitely murder, genocide, war crimes, patricide, (accidental) incest, torture, and paid someone to arson to name a few. He definitely belongs here.
Powers / Abilities:
❀ Eidetic memory: Jin Guangyao has an eidetic memory. It is mentioned that once meeting a person he never forgets his face. He is also capable of remembering their name, likes, dislikes, and more. This memory is a double edge sword. He can learn things quickly but he also remembers pain intensely. He uses this to his advantage both in learning new skills and easily as well as using his memory of people's like to endear himself to others.
❀ Cultivation. Since he manifested his golden core in his late teens, he is a weaker cultivator than many in his generation. He makes up for this lack by memorizing the techniques of many of the other sects and is known as a technique stealer.
❀ Chord Assassination Technique: He uses a guqin to perform this Lan technique which uses the strings as garrottes.
❀ Swordsmanship: Jin Guangyao is a war hero and is very adept at sword fighting. He uses a soft sword, Hensheng. It uses its spiritual powers in order to move like either a sword or a whip, sometimes it can wrap around the swords of its enemies in order to break them.
❀ Sword flight: He can use Hensheng to fly by stepping on it, often traveling that way.
❀ Collection of Turmoil: Dark music that can harm the spirit. The music has spiritual powers imbued in them. It is said it can take lives and cause illness and harm to those who hear it.
❀ Political Savvy: Jin Guangyao is extremely intelligent and uses his political savvy in order to oversee large projects like the Lookout towers when he was the Chief Cultivator. This shouldn't be affected.
❀ Housekeeping: He is very good at household chores, from cooking and cleaning to organizing, and just being able to care for a place. Much of the work he did as a child involved serving food to clients and taking care of cooking, as well as keeping things clean and organized. He sometimes ended up caring for the babies that were born in the brothels as well since he was shown to be a natural at calming babies in the audio drama.
❀ Bookkeeping and administrative tasks: Jin Guangyao has a love for organization, mathematics, administration as well as bookkeeping. His life is so chaotic that he finds solace in organization and numbers. Later in life, he will also have a love for public works projects, working on solutions that will benefit a great number of people efficiently. This shouldn't be affected.
❀ Acting: He is a fantastic actor naturally who can go from calm to frenzied with ease. This is mostly used as a defense mechanism to keep himself safe or to get what he needs from people. He is a master manipulator.
❀ Silver-tongue: Jin Guangyao is a natural orator who can talk around people in circles, persuade them to see his side of things, or distract an opponent. He has also been known to destroy a person with a few choice words, getting into the heart of their insecurities.
Inventory: Hensheng, his soft sword. His mother's death tablet. Qiankun bag.
