Formal:

Informal:


•DEMEANOR: Jin Guangyao is generally cordial and polite. His default expression is a smile. He may also bow in greeting or parting because that's his culture. In dealing with other villains whom he doesn't care to keep a mask up for, his smile can turn from friendly to downright devious. He'll get in someone's face and lay out all of their insecurities if he's in a particularly vicious mood and his politeness then takes on a sarcastic, mocking tone.

•ABILITIES: Cultivation:(in Untamed banishing, binding , appeasing, sealing of ghosts, demons, undead)
He had a rough start due to shaky education, but this forced him to research more than one topic making him more versatile than a cultivator that has a specialized field.

One of the most dangerous techniques he picked up started out innocent enough. His close friend and sworn brother taught him the ‘Song of Clarity’ which can be played on the Guqin. However, he broke into Cloud Recesses' forbidden library and switched some lines out with the ‘Song of Turmoil’ which he used to slowly but surely poison the mind of his other sworn brother and former mentor, Nie Mingjue. This lead to the man’s qi deviation and death.

Chord Assassination:
The use of guqin strings as garrote.

Travel by Sword:
Pretty much what it sounds like. Every cultivator has a sword which houses a spirit. They can lay their sword horizontal, balance on it, and travel through the air. Think witches on a broom, just standing instead of sitting.

Sword play: What you'd expect of competent swordsmanship. No magic there.

Photographic memory: He never never forgets something he’s seen whether it’s a face, a map or enemy plans. If he’s met you once, he’ll know your face and name the next time you meet even if much time has passed. If he’s met you twice, he knows all your likes and dislikes. He can remember details of entire conversations.


Acting: He is frighteningly good at this. He can switch from mellow and calm, to crying and grieved to manic in an eye-blink .

Silver Tongue: He knows how to get people on his side and also how to play others against one another. Lan Xichen warned Jiang Cheng not to engage in conversation with Jin Guangyao because of this during their confrontation.

Healing: A sufficiently advanced cultivator can use their qi to heal another. It's not limitless though, and can be dangerous is you give too much of it to another. To heal oneself they must meditate.

•MEDICAL INFORMATION: He's from ancient China so no real medical records. As a cultivator he's pretty healthy. Might get the odd fever or something is his qi gets depleted, but that's about it.

•CABIN INFORMATION:
Door:

Living Area:
Bed:


•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Anything trashing anyone of low birth. Holier-than-thou, sanctimonious people also irritate him.

IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Probably, yes, but ask me first.
•MIMICRY: Yes.
•VIOLENCE: Can another character provoke a physical fight with your character? Yes.
•MAGIC: Can another character use magic on your character? Yes.
•DEBATE: Yes, and please.
•OTHER / NOTES: He's extremely observant and good at reading people. Let me know if your character is particularly secretive or should/would be able to evade his observation or mask this.

Also, for fourth wall purposes, cultivators like Jin Guangyao are very much like the knights that are all over western fantasy fiction. Some otaku or even average Asian person has probably heard of them.
