✦ : PLOTTING CALL ━━━━ wishlist items.

i have trouble starting ideas on the go, or finding a launching point at times, so i decided to compile a list of wishlist relations that i'd like to have for yixuan!! this is by no means an exhaustive list, but a hopefully a place to start from and branch outward to; one of my shortcomings is unfortunately not knowing how to respond and conversations dying so i am fingers crossed that this will work.... see below the cut for a short list of potential dynamics! i'll reblog this periodically and send IMs to those interested!!

hellbound gods / ghosts / spirits ; one of the easiest, i think, in terms of launching points and an easy way into neutral-to-high regard from yixuan. he sees most as coworkers in diyu and even if he's not personally familiar, there's at least an unspoken level of respect between them. with the exception of yanwang ( a tip-top level god who yixuan has absolutely no business trying to get buddy-buddy with in an attempt to get out of this stupid job he's found himself in ) he has at least heard of others in his rank. * coworkers, friends, found family

' righteous ' gods of heaven ; the complete opposite of the above, yixuan has an automatic dislike for the deities in heaven. their relationship has crumbled hundreds of years ago and a sort of resentment between tian / heaven meddling with the affairs of diyu / hell has led to a distrust and longstanding dislike for its gods. especially given his new job searching for the deity who leaked the pill of immortality to the humans, yixuan REALLY dislikes heaven. * enemies, bridging understanding, begrudging coworkers

doctors / deities of life ; expanding on the previous dynamic, this one is a bit more specific to yixuan himself rather than the thoughts of diyu's gods. yixuan has a personal target on his back by shennong ( the god of medicine ) and his followers for SUPPOSEDLY stealing his eye. outside of shennong, yixuan has a neutral standing on those who give / extend life if only because they make his job a bit more difficult than he feels it needs to be. * enemies, antagonizing (yixuan ), new perspectives

mortals who have found immortality ; the Bane of yixuan's existence and his main purpose on earth. while yes, he's meant to cull loves for the return of souls to diyu, his target is finding who has gotten ahold of the pill of immortality and finding which god slipped it to the humans. whether they attained immortality through other means, yixuan is hellbent on reaping their lives if they aren't one of the heroes pre-ordained to be spared. that is, unless they can give him the information he's looking for: he's willing to look the other way for a price. * enemies, hot on the trail, partners in crime (?)

necromancers / jiangshi / reanimated corpses ; cult followers of yixuan's craft and the very souls he visits to bestow his grace upon in order to create these creatures. so long as they don't meddle with the pool of souls, why can't he have a bit of fun from time to time? as a creature made of gu poison, yixuan has no problem with the art, but oversees practitioners to ensure they don't step beyond their boundaries. * mentor-mentee, teaching an old dog new tricks, troublemakers

killers ; workload lifters, he considers them. though it certainly isn't his preferred method, so long as there is a steady stream of souls returned to diyu then he has no qualms against the methodology. he's befriended town serial killers, creatures of the grove, mythical beasts, all who lighten the burden of his already heavy plate. * friends, coworkers, partners in crime

followers ; he's a minor god, at least, until someone has a need to pray to him. even still, there are those who are devout to his name and he's willing to grace them a time or two, a ward of his protection. * god and devotee, trailing puppies, knight and king

friendships ; though his face is well known across his domain and among the humans who have had the misfortune of being paid a visit by him, he isn't always immersed in work. it certainly seems that way at times, but yixuan is a playful soul beneath the layers of gruff annoyance. he's a bit clingy, a bit demanding, and is never quite direct with his thoughts, but is a steadfast rock should someone need it. never one to take anything too seriously ( save for... his work ) he's a lighthearted god who doesn't exactly act his age. * friends, pesterer and pesteree, found family

family (?) ; yixuan is a solitary soul, someone who doesn't fare well with himself much less his own family ( if they even exist-- he's yet to clarify that myth about his origins ) but it gets lonely at times. not that he would ever admit such a thing... having someone to rely on, pester, come to with victories and failures would be good for him, i think. if only to keep from going insane until he's relieved of this stupid position. admittedly difficult to get to know him to reach this point, but a greatly treasured role by the god of plague if achieved. * found family, annoyances, rare soft spots

romantic partners ; admittedly yixuan has had sparse experiences here and there, with immortals and humans alike. there aren't many who capture his heart and those who do flee too soon * right person wrong time, reincarnated love, old gods learning humanity

anything else that comes to mind ; please don't let this post limit you!! if you have your own wishlist dynamics i would LOVE to see how yixuan could puzzle into that role, or if something in this list sparks an idea, that's awesome too!!

     plotting call plotting call plotting call plotTING CALL------  i know i’ve only just recently made hua cheng’s blog but i really want to establish some relationships for him since it’s a little hard  ( though way easier compared to azula )  for him to make any good first impression other than asshole know-it-all ghost---  i’m gonna list some general ideas but feel free to like even if you don’t think your character would fit into one of them;  i’d be more than happy to work together for something!!!!!!  this also gives me free reign to drop unprompted asks / posts / graphics when i feel like it,  as well as comfort knowing you’re a-ok with me jumping into your ims / discord at random times!!

     GHOSTS / DEMONS:     though this doesn’t really entail a very close relationship,  hua cheng is the owner of the most popular sect of the ghost realm;  he’s also pretty good at telling human from dead so this is more of  ‘oh i kinda know you-’

     HEAVENLY OFFICIALS:     or other muses tied to heaven.  he has a great dislike for them by how he.... barged in to challenge them and killed almost all of them off...  but he knows that they can still do good!!  xie lian is the one good up there,  but he’s sure that deep down in the crevices of  somewhere  that there are a few who aren’t so bad.

     FIGURES FROM HELL:     his people--  literally lol,  he’s spent over 800 years in the ghost realm and though it isn’t exactly a comfort,  he finds that he can connect with them a bit faster,  a bit easier.

     IMMORTALS:     whether it be from a personal encounter or just by rumor and name,  he at least knows of many immortals,  especially if they’re pertinent to jun wu’s agenda.  he’s also very gossipy and just likes to know everything that’s happening before it happens.  

     FRIENDS:     he doesn’t have... any aside from xie lian since he’s so off-putting,  both because people fear him and because he never actively seeks out friendship in any form.  it’d be good for him to stop lone-wolfing it  because he thinks it’s best for him.  he was never welcomed by anyone in his childhood all the way to his death and eventual rise from the kiln as ghost king so his lack thereof is because he just doesn’t know  how  to make friends.

     ENEMIES:     it's pretty easy to get on his bad side:  whether that means crossing his interests and goals or just being a personality that doesn't mesh well with his,  hua cheng holds one hell of a grudge.  qi rong hasn't exactly lived his down and it's been ages now.

     ROMANCE:     idk if we vibe,  we VIBE!!!!!!!!  it probably won’t happen in his main verse since he’s googoo gaga for xie lian,  but we can definitely work out another verse / timeline!!  i’d prefer this to be held off after our characters have developed a relationship beforehand but obv if we’ve talked ooc or on discord you’re :eyes: good to go,  i trust u

     tiiiiny tiny starter call while i chip away at finishing docs / asks----

[xuelei]

     i’m getting back into the groove of writing here!  i’ve been chipping away at drafts and IMs so please be patient with me like you all have been so kind in doing these past few weeks!  in the mean time,  i think my threadcount has dwindled so i’m posting this teeny tiny lyric starter call to try to boost some activity here.
