Detailed Information

Appearance

Long black hair and sharp green eyes. A handsome face with the build of a martial artist who's been honing his skill for years. A suspicious character due to his tattoos and long hair.

His full body tattoos: a dragon wraps around his arms and legs, its head rests on the right side of his chest, peonies decorate his torso, lower back and thighs, and a large 義 (yì)The character means "right conduct; justice; righteousness", or the moral disposition to do what is right no matter the consequences. is written and encircled on his upper back.

Voice

Okamoto Nobuhiko. All his voiced lines are here, subbed! Here's another video where you go on a date with him I GUESS. He often uses very informal language and speaks with a lazy, amiable drawl. Rough around the edges, but can be surprisingly eloquent when the time calls for it. He's an excellent singer.

History & Background

Yan Qing is from the classic Chinese novel Water Margin (a.k.a. Suikoden), a picaresque novel about the outlaws of Mount Liang, a mountain surrounded by marshlands. Each of these outlaws were the 108 Stars of Destiny: demons reincarnated as humans to find redemption and glory as heroes of China, a land with corruption at every turn during the last years of the Song dynasty. More information in his app. Spoilers for FGO ahead!

Personality

Friendly and fun with a relaxed, devil-may-care attitude. Unpredictable, though. It's kind of worrying? Often takes things in stride unless they have something to do with his master, who he absolutely spoils. A smooth talker. Has a (self-proclaimed) strong sense of justice. He seems arrogant due to his penchant for self-praise, but he only does this to mask his insecurities regarding his self-worth. He is cagey about his past.

Skills

archery, martial arts, assassination, persuasion, espionage, singing, dancing, playing musical instruments

Powers

He's a Heroic Spirit (i.e. a figure from history or myth) summoned as a Servant, which somewhat works like a magical familiar. Although he can bleed, his body is made of magical energy. He needs a contract with a Master to receive magical energy and survive. He can also regain magical energy by eating, sleeping, consuming the souls of others, or having sex. Yeah.

He possesses superhuman abilities and skills according to his Class, Assassin. What will most likely come up is his Presence Concealment skill, which masks his presence as a Servant and magical entity. He also has the Doppelganger, which enables him to flawlessly transform into another person.

Permissions, Warnings & Boundaries

Backtagging

Yes.

Threadhopping

Yes.

Fourthwalling

Yes; he's aware he's fictional anyway and FGO is weird sometimes.

CRAU

Probably a yes if the Yan Qing I play was the one who previously had CR with your character! Otherwise, no.

Doppelganger

He has the ability to transform into other people and by extension, assimilate their memories when he does this. By default, I will not have him assimilate memories unless I have player permission.

Hugging

Yes. Actually, he is likely to initiate.

Kissing

Yes unless you're not cute. He's picky unless he needs to do it for a mission.

Flirting

Yes. Give him validation. He craves it. He is also likely to initiate, especially if the person is exactly his type.

Romance

In memes and PSLs, yes. In Prismatica, it depends! He's bisexual and I'm okay with both m/f and m/m. I would rather see if our characters have chemistry first before we ship, but let's be real: we'll find a way.

Smut

In memes and PSLs, yes. In games, I'd like to have some CR first before it happens. His kinklist is a mix of what I am willing to write and what he is likely to do under certain circumstances. If you have any questions, just ask!

Mindreading

Yes, but if your character will try to use it when he's using the Doppelganger, please ask.

Manipulation

Mind games: yes; mind control: ask first! His mind already plays tricks on him sometimes.

Injury

Yes, but ask me first.

Fighting

Yes; no need to ask.

Death

No unless discussed beforehand.

IC Warnings and Boundaries

He has a dark past and trust and abandonment issues. Depending on his canon point, he may be more likely to use violence to get what he wants. Sometimes, he's also lewd. Let me know if you're uncomfortable with themes like sex and violence in tags. Also let me know if you'd rather not be tagged by this character at all! I'd be more than happy to accommodate you.

OOC Boundaries

Almost anything goes with me. I love writing fluff, romance, angst, and downright silly scenarios, but sex, violence and other dark themes are fine with me since the nature of his character lends to those narratives.
