Backtagging: Yes
Threadhopping: Yes
Sensitive Topics: Please warn for Suicide and Cannibalism
Smut: Yes
IC
Physical Contact: Yes - but he might retaliate.
Conflict: Yes - he's easy to get into conflict with.
Physical Violence: Yes - please discuss what the desired goal/outcome is beforehand. Combat tags are not my strength and I'd prefer to have a general 'script' for the fight worked out ahead of time so both players are aware of the 'beats' that need to be hit, and are agreed on the fallout/winner/loser/tie/etc.
Kissing: Yes - he actually kind of likes kissing. He's both emotionally repressed and a forceful kisser.
Sex: Yes - please discuss ahead of time what expectations for the thread are. He's not sexually active (he's a 38(thousand) year old virgin) and not likely to initiate or continue intimate contact without an outside influence or reason (sex pollen or determined to be the best course of action for a quest, for example) until his emotions have come in more. But he is a fast learner and an eager student once he decides he wants to master a new skill.
Powers
(full powers and Escordi specific restrictions here)
Dongfang Qingcang has wide variety of powers. Other than the usual combat and xianxia bullshit powers, he has a few that need input from players beyond the usual check in for a specific thread. The four under 'Passive' are ones that don't directly affect other characters, but do allow him to learn information about characters. The one under 'Active' is one that can directly affect other characters and as such will not be used without seeking direct permission for those involved every time it may come up.
Passive
Sixth Sense
Dongfang Qingcang can naturally sense the spiritual presence of other beings and what general kind they are when they are not attempting to hide their presence. This works much the same as any other senses - sense of smell is probably the best comparison. Everyone has a scent and some are more sensitive to them than others. Everyone who is sentient has a spiritual presence and he can sense them in an area around him comparable to his other senses. It's like background noise to him.
Everyone falls under one or more of the following general categories:
For all other cases, all he can tell is that a character falls within that category. All 'dead' feel the same to him regardless of power level, all mortals feel mortal, and demons are some sort of enlightened non-human, non-born immortal.
The more 'odd' a spiritual presence is, the more likely he is to investigate it. If someone reads as 'dead' but doesn't look it, or if someone reads as both 'demon' and 'mortal' (half-human, half-something else), he'll be more interested in pestering the character to find out what they are and why they feel the way they do.
If a character does not yet have a tattoo, they will likely read as Mortal, Odd-Mortal, or Demon due to the lack of non-magical powers if they are still among the living.
Magic Sense
Dongfang Qingcang has, separately from spiritual presence, the ability to detect magical signatures and traces of magic. This is due to his magical training and is not a natural sense. If something catches his eye or he's on alert for whatever reason, he is likely to scan the area for the presence of magic, but it's not automatic the way his Sixth Sense is. If a character does not have a tattoo yet, he is not going to be able to feel their own magic that is currently blocked, but could potentially sense any magical items on them if they aren't hidden somehow. If something magical has a means of being undetected - non-detection spells, etc - they will work to prevent him from sensing them.
Shape-shifting
Dongfang Qingcang can make himself look however he wants, including taking on the physical appearance of others. He is not a good actor, he will not be a convincing copy if anyone attempts to talk to him for more than two seconds.
Linguistics
Dongfang Qingcang can speak to, be understood by, and understand all sentient beings, but especially those with some form of significant spiritual presence or intelligence. He can naturally 'hear' any such being if their physical speech capacity is limited (yes, he can talk to semi-intelligent animals). This functions in the same way as telepathic communication, but does not let him listen in on thoughts that aren't meant to be heard aloud.
Active
Metaphysical Exploration and Manipulation
Donfang Qingcang has the ability to send a part of his consciousness into a person's dreams, their Sea of Emotions/Heart Sea, and other such metaphysical spaces. While inside them, he can potentially manipulate what he finds there - altering memories, attempts at harm, etc. - This ability is entirely plot and permission dependent and will not be attempted without first seeking permission with all involved parties every time.
Please respond to this post with answers to the following regarding his passive abililties:
What type of spiritual presence does your character have? Please pick at least one or more: Dead, Living but not (yet) spiritual creature, Mortal, Immortal/Cultivator, Immortal/Born or Cultivated from a Non-Human, Odd-Mortal, Odd-Immortal, Demon
Can he sense your spiritual presence power level? Is it over 9000?
Can he sense any magic on your character if he has reason to scan for magic near them? Magic items, a character's own innate magical ability, etc. This is for casual sensing - if there's a specific plot or quest need for something more specific or thorough, it can be discussed at the time of the plot/quest/encounter.
Can Dongfang Qingcang assume your character's appearance if he decides it's the best course of action? Imagine the most dismissive and bored look of contempt your character could pull, that is the face he will give them.
Is your character and/or creature companion unable to speak with a mouth or have limited speech, and can Dongfang Qingcang communicate with them using his linguistics ability? As a reminder, he cannot listen in to thoughts not specifically meant for him to hear when communicating in this manner.

Everyone falls under one or more of the following general categories:
- Dead - Fully Dead/Undead creatures of any type (ghosts, vampires, zombies, etc)
- Living, but not (yet) spiritual creatures - non-sentient plants and animal life that are still alive
- Mortal - Humans without any non-magical powers
- Immortal/Cultivator - Humans with non-magical powers, especially those with qi(ki) powers
- Immortal/Born or Cultivated from a non-human - Gods/Spirits/Devils/Anything that doesn't fall into the other categories and has non-magical superpowers (divinely granted, natural, forced-upon, etc all count so long as they aren't defined as 'magic' in their source canon. Technology of a significant level to imitate magic counts as spiritually active enough to put someone in this category - Thor or Loki, for example, but not Dr. Strange)
- 'Odd-'Mortal or Immortal - Non-Humans who are humanoid and not significantly physically different from humans in most respects (Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, etc)
- Demon - Non-humans that are more animal/plant/mechanical/very not-humanoid read as this regardless of the presence (or lack thereof) of non-magical superpowers (catgirls, transformers, talking teapots, Groot, etc). If they have significant spiritual presence, he will often also read them as Immortal/Born or Cultivated from a Non-human.
For all other cases, all he can tell is that a character falls within that category. All 'dead' feel the same to him regardless of power level, all mortals feel mortal, and demons are some sort of enlightened non-human, non-born immortal.
