notes
Hua Cheng's first impressions are over on his info page. However I have some notes here for your characters in case they have certain powers that are relevant, since Hua Cheng is a ghost king!EVIL SENSE.
If your character can sense evil, they will be able to see Hua Cheng from a mile away. In fact, Hua Cheng leaves evil cooties sometimes during close contact, for those who have a very tuned sense. You can feel free to do this if this is one of your character's traits, no need to ask permission.
DEAD SENSE.
Likewise, if your character can sense that someone is dead, it should be extremely easy for your character to sense that Hua Cheng is dead, even when he is disguised. There is no need to ask permission to do so.
SPIRITUAL POWER SENSE.
If your character can sense spiritual power, they may feel a lot of it coming from Hua Cheng. He doesn't realize it's a thing he has to hide. You do not need my permission to do this, if this is something your character should be able to suss out!
WEAKNESSES.
Hua Cheng is naturally susceptible to anything that generally affects other ghosts, demons or evil. For instance, when Mount Tong'lu opens up, all the ghosts lose their minds. However, he is not weak to things that are holy, as he technically functions as a priest himself. Depending on how strong the shields are, he is susceptible to anti-demon barriers and talismans. He is probably not susceptible to being controlled via demonic cultivation by the power of the yin iron alone, though maybe by a different power source (or if his power is subdued.)
opt-in
These are some of Hua Cheng's powers that either he uses in canon without asking express permission or that are unique to him that I think might serve as a cool springboard to do some plotting. If any of these ever come up in a thread I will ask at the time if you're cool with it, but let me know if any of these are things you're definitely interested in playing with or definitely would never want even to be brought up!COMMUNICATION ARRAY.
There is a canon way of talking to each other via telepathy. However, one's thoughts are protected behind a wall and can only be accessed with a password. Please let me know if your character can read minds and Hua Cheng might give them his password.
Additionally, please let me know if you want Hua Cheng to be able to communicate with your character telepathically. He won't try if he doesn't know the character's password, but he'll be confused when he realizes that most people don't. Have passwords.
MEMORY SHARE.
For some reason Hua Cheng can share memories if he's physically connected through foreheads with your character. He is reluctant to do this if you're not Xie Lian so let me know if you'd like to be given information in this way at some point in time.
SOUL SWAP.
Even though usually one needs a password to get into someone else's head, the body swap/soul swap spell is the one way around that since it's usually so rare that no one uses it. It basically works like possession. Even though this is usually done without permission, I would never OOC employ this without asking. Please let me know if you want to play with this in some way.
SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
Do you need a lil spiritual energy? Hua Cheng has a lot of it to spare and often accidentally rubs some off during uhh... physical contact. Please let me know if you would like to borrow some, although, if your name isn't Xie Lian he'll literally smack it into you instead of a nicer way.
DARUMA DOLLS.
Oftentimes when Hua Cheng is mad at someone or in order to diffuse a situation, he'll transform that person into an armless and legless doll and carry them around until they start behaving or he's shown them the thing he wanted to show them. I won't actually do this unless you specifically want to be turned into a doll and carried, but let me know if you'd like to be turned into one!
FIGHTING.
Though we'll probably talk about it before getting our characters into a fight, sometimes threads just kind of go in that direction. Hua Cheng won't attack without provocation, and he won't attack baseline humans or children at all. Please let me know if you actually want to get in a fight for some reason, or you want to team up for something!
MISC.
Did I miss anything? Do you have other questions? Let me know!
Finally, if you would like to opt-out entirely of interacting with Hua Cheng, let me know and I'll try my best to accommodate. There's no fancy form for this one just lmk.

PERMISSIONS FOR XIE LIAN
Journal:
Communication Array: Just recite the Ethics Sutra a thousand times. ;)
Memory Share: yes
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: yes
Spiritual Energy: only if they are kisses~
Daruma Dolls: I would be shocked and appalled, but if you must.
Fighting: Unlikely, but if for plot reasons, sure.
Misc: yes to all.
PERMISSIONS FOR CROWLEY
Journal:
Communication Array: yes but just for surface level chatting, while he wouldn't have a password, his thoughts are likely difficult to dig into
Memory Share: yes
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: yes
Spiritual Energy: yes
Daruma Dolls: yes god this would be so funny
Fighting: yes
Misc: my yeses are more a general 'I'm okay with this happening if it comes up' rather than any specific desire for them to happen!
PERMISSIONS FOR LAN XICHEN
Journal:
Communication Array: yes! I'm guessing it won't come up without some CR building but I'm 100% down for this
Memory Share: yes, same as above! ...I have a feeling this is just going to be most of my answers to this whoops
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: if it comes up, go for it!
Spiritual Energy: always yes, Lan Xichen's got plenty of spiritual energy but it sounds like Hua Cheng's got even more to share if needed
Daruma Dolls: YES I don't know how it'll come up but you know what yes let's do something with that
Fighting: yes if he really wants to
PERMISSIONS FOR SHEPARD
Journal:
Communication Array: no
Memory Share: no/maybe
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: no/maybe
Spiritual Energy: no
Daruma Dolls: maybe
Fighting: yes
PERMISSIONS FOR NIE HUAISANG (MDZS)
Journal:
Communication Array: Sure!
Memory Share: Sure!
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: This could be interesting so yes. Just give me a heads up in thread.
Spiritual Energy: Go for it!
Daruma Dolls: Absolutely because it'd be hilarious.
Fighting: With discussion and plotting since NHS isn't going to stand a chance.
Misc: No question right now but if I'll give you a poke if something comes up!
PERMISSIONS FOR JIANG YANLI
Journal:
Communication Array: Yes! If he wants to, and no password, gestures, she'd be beyond surprised at this, but likely quick to adapt because... what's weirder than being alive after you died?
Memory Share: ... Yes!
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: Yes!?!
Spiritual Energy: I cannot imagine her needing any but if she did, yes.
Daruma Dolls: I say yes, she'd possibly say yes if it was somehow necessary for her family or friends so that's a thing.
Fighting: lol like she fights with her fists
Misc: No idea how it translates to game or presently memory of what Hua Cheng's awarenesses are in canon, but she did die, and was "revived" enough to survive with emergency medical care in game, for whatever that's worth.
PERMISSIONS FOR SHANG QINGHUA
Journal:
Communication Array: yes
Memory Share: yes
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: yes
Spiritual Energy: yes omg especially if he really needs it for some reason, he will be like "thank you sir can I have another" XDD
Daruma Dolls: yes PLEASE
Fighting: yes - he would NEVER fight Hua Cheng, the very thought drives his cowardly soul from his body, but he would be a hell of a sidekick! Or shield! Or decoy!
Misc: I'd be cool exploring literally any of these if they come up, there is much potential here
PERMISSIONS FOR STACIA
Journal: machinesoul
Communication Array: This and a lot of the following are complicated by Stacia's mechanical nature! Her body is all robot, but she DOES canonically have a soul and is capable of channeling spiritual energy in a way that would be pretty familiar for xianxia type folks. So, I think most of these would work. That in mind: Yes
Memory Share: Yes
Body Swap/Soul Swap/Possession: With proper plotting, yes
Spiritual Energy: Unlikely to come up, but sure
Daruma Dolls: With proper plotting, perhaps
Fighting: Absolutely!
Misc: Stacia's a heroic type, but she's also really trusting and easy to trick, so it wouldn't be too hard to convince her that Hua Cheng is an OK guy.
