Who Is Jian?
Since there's a number of new folks floating about I think it's best I introduce Jian and let you know where he's at. Jian was a resident of Karakura when the Incursion happened, an event that in addition to granting him a spiritual waking violently murdered everyone he knew and loved. Fast forward a year or two and along with the scrapes and bruises of his journey Jian one of the most powerful beings and a human to boot.
Sort of.
He's also a Shinigami.
At his heart he has a strong desire to help people. He wants to protect the world, and to change it into a better place free from all the miserable awful shit that everyone has to put up with, the same things that he went through when he started his journey.
What's the KSN?
Jian founded the KSN, the Karakura Spiritual Network. It's an organization that seeks out the spiritually aware and educates them on the world they're stepping into. It protects those who lack the power to protect themselves and for those who want to do more with their powers, it offers the resources to train and develop. Jian has been the defacto leader and face of the KSN since it's inception, often there as a friendly helping hand to those in need. While at first its reach was limited to Karakura its reach extends in limited reaches worldwide to various cities where Jian has been helping other similar sister organizations find their footing. The KSN has little in the way of formal assets and has no presence in the world as far as anyone who can't see ghosts is concerned.
When Obsessions' assault on the Shinigami began members of the KSN were there to help turn the tide as best they could. When the battle ended Jian held the first ever formal meeting for the KSN with...mixed results. Following Jian's frustration with the Quincy and his own struggle, he's faded from the head of the KSN. True to his word the KSN still operates without him at the helm and those in Karakura can expect a helping hand should they ever need it.
What's up with Jian now then?
Jian's goal all along had been to obtain a power like those he considered his friend so that he might fight alongside them and change the world. With his awakening preceding Obsession's invasion he had finally obtained that power, but in the wake of the devastation, every single one of those friends was gone, dead or the same equivalent. So Jian now had the incredible power to defend the world from terrible threat and no one to fight along side with, and even worse, no threat either.
Jian's path had always been clear. There'd be a threat he was too weak to fight or a friend ready to push him, they would beat him up, and he'd know where he was to climb next. He still had his dream, his goal of making the world a better place but now that he had the power he sought he had to finally face making that dream a reality.
So he tried. Sensing an oncoming conflict, he tried to pull the mortals of Earth together with the KSN to unify them under a singular purpose of making their world better. With it, came the rules necessary to protect them from the Shinigami who oft considered all of the mortals with powers a nuisance worth exterminating. While some agreed, dissent took the form of the Quincy who rejected his rules and denounced him as a tyrant.
He sought to take a hand in the politics of the Shinigami to help find a replacement to the Captain Commander as cleanly as possible and while he saved the lives of many assembled Shinigami in the resulting battle he found himself disillusioned with the remaining Shinigami.
What Am I Looking For?
Jian is losing faith, not in himself but in the world. He sees his every attempt to make the world a better place end in failure because the world doesn't want to change. He sees people caught in cycles of self-destruction, going so far as to happily embrace them even when they know better. He wants to help people but he can't save them from themselves.
He sees three worlds in perpetual conflict over nothing when none of them truly stand in opposition to what they want and he knows that it's hopeless. All the power in the world hasn't changed him from being helpless because he doesn't want to be a tyrant.
So where does that leave you? Well, Jian still floats about Karakura and parts of the world watching out for people in danger. It's rare he'll step in to help someone in a fight he thinks they can win, but he's quick to show up to pick up the pieces after the fact. He seeks out people who are lost and if he can lend them a hand to find their next step, whether Human, Quincy or Hollow, so long as they have a good heart and a desire to be better. He's not against teaching hard lessons against people who would disrupt the peace of his city, he often was willing to give a single warning to those who might stand a chance of changing but recently his patience has grown short. I expect he'll be primarily on Earth, but until things change he has access to the Seireitei.
I'm looking for threads that will help Jian tackle the questions of his purpose, help him reconnect with some of the optimism the last year has so relentlessly ripped from him or take the last little bits from him.
Hit me up here or discord with questions or ideas. I can't promise to do them all but if I get a good idea from reading what you want then I'm sure Jian can offer your character something unique to him.[/b]
