CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Wen Ning (surname first - courtesy name Qionglin)
Age: 30+ (looks 20+)
Canon: The Untamed
Canon Point: end of series (pre-movie)
Character Information: Wiki page - please note that the version I'm apping is from the drama (web series) version of the canon, and his backstory diverges from the original canon in several instances. These are mentioned in the last section of the linked article.
Personality: Something of a weakling from a young age, Wen Ning was content to spend most of his life in his sister's shadow. He is extremely grateful to anyone who's helped either of them and will always go out of his way to repay any debts. He's very subservient, having few ambitions of his own until the end of the series where he finally intends to go off and live a life for himself.
Wen Ning is fiercely sentimental. He doesn't have many earthy possessions, so he doesn't hold onto physical items in memory of others, but he does keep thoughts of his family close to his heart. He loved his little part of the clan very much. When he learned A-Yuan was still alive he was over the moon, though hesitant in his approach. He was disappointed to learn that the boy didn't have many memories of him at first, but it's enough that he remembers any of them at all.
He knows when to keep a secret, but also when something needs to be shared for his friends' sake. For example, he kept the fact that Wei Wuxian had his golden core transferred to Jiang Cheng for years, but when the latter was showing a large amount of animosity toward his adopted brother when they returned to Lotus Pier after fighting off puppets at the Burial Grounds he revealed this secret in order to keep Jiang Cheng from doing something he might come to regret. On the other hand, he has trouble keeping anything from his sister period, and will cave the moment she infers that he might be.
His social skills aren't the best. Early on he was prone to stammering and being hesitant to even talk to dominant-acting people like Wen Chao. If it's not a conversation where his input is explicitly needed he tends to stand back and allow others to do most of the talking. He has certain childish mannerisms in his speech patterns, such as calling his sister "jiejie" (a rather cutesy version of sister) and occasionally referring to himself in the third person.
However, he is very serious when it comes to defending those he cares for. When he fights he's no-nonsense, dealing with the enemy as necessary and easily taking instructions. In a verbal argument he'll hold his own without the usual hesitation. They don't happen often, but he'll stand up for his friends if he's believed they've been wronged or if they need protection.
As a sentient Puppet, he's unique. There is one other in the series but Wen Ning is the only one created from the full power of the Stygian Tiger Amulet. He knows this, and rather than being angry at being brought back from the brink of death into this state he's grateful to Wei Wuxian for allowing him to have more time with his sister and family. Because of this he's extremely loyal to the man, so much so that Xue Yang was incapable of taking control of him completely when he experimented on him in captivity under the Jin clan.
But he does feel guilt for many of the things he's done while being controlled, even though he couldn't help what happened. He still blames himself for the outcome. While it was not Wei Wuxian but another who actually took control and directed him to kill Jin Ling's father, he accepts punishment for the action as though it had been on purpose.
By the end of the series he's started to come into his own, able to take control of some situations. He doesn't intend to continue following Wei Wuxian and the others, rather he wants to give his family a proper send off and then go on alone. (In the movie he and Lan Sizhui are hunting as a pair without any other assistance.) He's lost a lot of the naivete and dependence that might have held him back.
5-10 Key Character Traits: loyal (sorry), self-sacrificing, timid, determined, supportive, awkward, quiet, subservient, brave
Would you prefer a monster that FITS your character’s personality, CONFLICTS with it, EITHER, or opt for 100% RANDOMIZATION? FITS
Opt-Outs: naga, arachne, slime, waldgeist, shade
Roleplay Sample: I didn't get enough action tags from the ryslig TDM but here is a different TDM thread from another game.
