જ⁀➴ ♡ Jing Yuan

Overview:

• Jing Yuan is the current General of the Xianzhou Luofu, known as the Divine Foresight and nicknamed the Dozing General for his seemingly indulgent appearance.

Speech:

• His speech is slow and mellow, sometimes making it sound like he’s teasing, making it difficult to figure out if he’s serious or not. Jing Yuan occasionally speaks in metaphors, or allows the other person to theorize what he means by his words, something he does on purpose.

Characterization:

• Enjoys slacking off from the unending piles of paperworks left for him at the Seat of Divine Foresight. Likes Starchess (inspired from Xiangqi) and warm meals. Likes warm milk and green tea. Likes animals, specially birds and felines— many finches come to the Seat of Divine Foresight when he's working.
• Many years ago, Jing Yuan had a pet lion named 'Mimi'. Jing Yuan initially purchased Mimi thinking it was a grimalkin, a cat breed extinct on the Xianzhou. However, after the cat grew much larger than expected, he learned he was swindled and that Mimi was actually a lion — resulting in Mimi being renamed to "Wave-Treading Snow Lion," a name he eventually shortened to Snow Lion. Mimi's voracious appetite also caused the people of the Luofu to start referring to Jing Yuan as "The Glutton General," due to the amount of meat purchased for the Seat of Divine Foresight's meals.
• Jing Yuan is more meticulous than seemingly meets the eye. He does not consider saving a situation from the brink of disaster to be a show of wisdom, and is thus fastidious with routine affairs to avoid any potential problems. Though usually seen as lazy and laid-back, he is stern and serious when need be, mostly if he's faced with matters involving the Luofu. He is often dozing off when doing paperwork or meditating.
• Jing Yuan is usually respectful and professional while working, but he has a nonchalant and playful personality with close colleagues. Under his wise strategy, the Luofu's Cloud Knights have made a name for themselves among the Alliance, achieving an exemplary record. While there are those who complained that he feared combat so much so that he seldom resorted to arms, it remains true that his intellect is no less resourceful than the tip of the sharpest sword in solving thorny problems.
• Due to his careful management, Xianzhou has enjoyed many years of peace, with Jing Yuan's seemingly lazy demeanor having earned him the moniker of the "Dozing General."

Skills/combat:

• Jing Yuan's signature weapon is a guan dao titled Starfall Reverie, crafted by Yingxing. Though this weapon normally needs at least five trained Cloud Knights to wield it, Jing Yuan has proven to be able to do so on his own without any major issue— being able to carelessly swap it from one hand to another in lazy movements.
• The Lightning-Lord full name "Lightning-Wielding Thunder-Clapping Spirit-Squashing Lord" is the Spiritus granted by Lan to the Arbiter-General of the Luofu. Currently Jing Yuan commands the Lightning-Lord and it was previously wielded by Teng Xiao. The Lightning-Lord takes the form of a colossal figure made from light, wielding a massive Guan Dao and being able to command lightning and electricity to deal with enemies.

Appearance:

• Jing Yuan has the appearance of a tall, muscular man with a pale complexion. He has long, fluffy white hair that's tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon with long wispy bangs that slightly covers his eyes, golden eyes, and a mole under his left eye. Large palms and calloused fingers. Has some faded scars across his body.

Clothing:

• Jing Yuan's most recognizable outfit consists of an oriental-styled blouse modified with plating and golden armor in the shape of a nian on his right arm. He also has two capes that drape over both shoulders, waist armor with multiple belts, leather vambraces, red trousers with thigh harnesses, and tall boots, with a scroll and tassel attached at his hip.

Backstory:

• Jing Yuan joined up with the Cloud Knights to escape from a life of boredom working for the Luofu's Realm-Keeping Commission against his family's wishes. After returning to the Xianzhou, Jing Yuan demonstrated his adept skill and was appointed to a position of importance in the Knights. In the end, Jing Yuan was invited by the previous Sword Champion of the Luofu to join her team, and so the legend of the High-Cloud Quintet was formed. Jing Yuan was trained under Jingliu, as she was his mentor.
• During a brief moment in the Luofu's history, there was a small group known as the High Cloud Quintet, formed by Baiheng. They achieved many things during their brief time together, however things changed after Baiheng died in war. Dan Feng decided to try and revive her, and Yingxing acted as his accomplice— however, they created an abomination that Jingliu was forced to kill. This caused her to become mara-struck, while Dan Feng was forced to undergo molting reincarnation and Yingxing was cursed with immortality. In her Mara induced craze, Jingliu killed Yingxing over a thousand times to show him the way of the sword, eventually being found by Jing Yuan who has no choice but to defeat his former master.
