As much as it hurt when Amber and Sorn pretty much exposed themselves as racists, I canāt even pretend that Iām shocked. A lot of idols are antiblack, and at this point I donāt trust any idol to not be. I know not every idol is racist, but given the amount that are, I feel like I have the right to be on edge when it comes to things like this.

The smoke settles to reveal LIU XINYI, a 29Ā year old raiju-bloodedĀ of Sunseong. They are a tattoo artistĀ who appears to be adept inĀ shapeshiftingĀ and magic tattooingĀ ā but like most things in Sunseong, there must be more to them than meets the eye.
FACECLAIM:Ā amber liu, f(x)
APPEARANCE:
With two full sleeves of tattoos, and the somewhat eccentric choices they make in fashion, XÄ«nyĆ often stands out in a crowd, but they appear completely human to the average eye. Someone with more astute magical senses might notice the specter of a blueish white dog looming over them, a representation of their power and heritage.
While theyāve learned to maintain a human form, naturally they have a number of inhuman traits. Most noticeable are long white ears and a bushy tail, but thereās a mouth full of fangs, electric blue eyes, a āmaneā of blue-ish white fur down their back, and long claws to complete the picture. Theyāve gotten fairly adept at keeping a human appearance, but when they do slip, glowing blue eyes and fangs are the first to appear. Theyāve since also managed to shift further in the other direction with hard work. Their animal form is difficult to maintain, and appears to be almost semi-solid, a creature made at least partially of lightning. While itās naturally about the size of a large wolf, the proportions are closer to a fox than anything. Regardless, itās definitely canine, and has big teeth.
BIOGRAPHY:
Beast-Blooded are often insular communities, and XÄ«nyĆās family may of well have been the archetype. Hailing from Taiwan, They had a long and rich history, and were fiercely proud of the magic that ran in their blood. However, XÄ«nyĆ was never particularly interested in upholding the family traditions. Born the youngest child to her beast-blooded mother, they were only the second of five to take after her heritage, and was doted upon excessively by the extended family of aunties and cousins. That attention was never something that XÄ«nyĆ craved, and by the time they were old enough to run, they were old enough to spend as much time as possible sneaking out into the woods on the family property, climbing trees and chasing local wildlife. While their mother had a charm made up to give them an illusionary human appearance when they too young still to shift themselves, the lack of control they had over their more dangerous natural abilities meant that XÄ«nyĆ was largely taught by private tutors, and had little contact with human children. When they were young, they made a game of it, skulking around the local playgrounds in an effort to convince the other children that they were demon, but other than their siblings, most of whom were much older, XÄ«nyĆ spent almost no time at all with humans growing up.
By the time theyād mastered a human appearance, XÄ«nyĆ had little idea of how to relate to humanity itself. They might have isolated themselves entirely from it like much of their family had, if they hadnāt found their relatives just as difficult to understand and even more frustrating. The pressure to marry and produce another beast-blooded offspring started as soon as they turned 18, and only got more intense as their older siblings began to reproduce. XÄ«nyĆ got a job in the human world as an apprentice to a tattoo artist that specialized in magically imbued tattoos, though XÄ«nyĆās magic was basic enough that their work appealed mostly to humans who had no magical talent of their own, and then later as they improved, who took an interest in their style. With a source of money, they moved away from home and started a new life for themselves, but the looming specter of their family was difficult to dodge. Often literally, as XÄ«nyĆ was forced to duck into storefronts when they spotted someone they recognized further down the street.
Eventually, after an aunt burst into a fit of sobs on their doorstep, begging them to return to the family, XÄ«nyĆ changed their name and fled the country, though not before commissioning their master for a tattoo a little more powerful than the regular fare, and able to help them stay off the radar. At least for a couple decades, until they feel ready to face them again. The chaos and unchecked power made South Korea too tempting of a destination for them to resist, and the rumor that their eldest brother lived in Sunseong made it their final choice. With their families opinion on him, it would be the last place theyād look for XÄ«nyĆ.
CHARACTERIZATION:
āAnd why South Korea?ā One of the manās hands was firmly below the base of their skull, keeping XÄ«nyĆās still while he inscribed careful black lines in their skin just below his hand with the other, following some pattern entirely in his head. The more magic, the slower and more careful the project, but JĆ¹nxiĆ”n was a master at his craft and knew what he was doing well enough for it to be second nature.
Not normally one of many words, XÄ«nyĆ would have shrugged if theyād been able, but they were sure that would only earn them a cuff in the head for moving. As many tattoos as they had, XÄ«nyĆ was notoriously squirmy, though more because they had difficulty sitting still than the pain. Still JĆ¹nxiĆ”n wasnāt normally one for conversation either, and the fact that he was asking meant something. At least enough that they owed him an answer.
āMy eldest brother lives there,ā they said eventually, voice muffled into the table they were laying on. JĆ¹nxiĆ”n paused for a moment, needle hesitating a second on their skin. XÄ«nyĆās breath caught with it.
āAh. Your brother,ā he repeated neutrally, but XÄ«nyĆ knew he wasnāt an idiot, and there was even more unspoken between his words. They had never spoken fondly of family in their life, and certainly not to him. And of course, he knew exactly what South Korea was like these days, and how that sort of chaos might appeal to someone young and eager to find their own way. Someone who had never gotten a chance to test properly what kind of power they possessed.
āThereās a good market there too. Lots of kids eager to make their parents angry with a tattoo,ā XÄ«nyĆ added after a few silent minutes had passed, not wanting to give voice to the lingering unspoken words between them. The buzz of JĆ¹nxiĆ”nās needle was loud in their ears. āIāll come back a few times a year for a guest spot. Touch ups for regulars,ā they promised, but JĆ¹nxiĆ”nās hold on the back of their neck tightened, pushing their head forwards a little. As far as XÄ«nyĆ could tell, partially to straighten their spine and the working surface, and partially to rub their nose into the table.
āHold still,ā JĆ¹nxiĆ”n chastised, but there was more fondness in his tone than anything else. XÄ«nyĆās shoulders dropped as some of the tension left them, and JĆ¹nxiĆ”n tsked at the movement, adjusting his grip as continued the tattoo. "Just be careful wonāt you. I spent too long training you for that to all be wasted.ā
XÄ«nyĆ grinned against the table, though he couldnāt see. "Promise. Nothing you wouldnāt do.ā
āThat isnāt that comforting,ā JĆ¹nxiĆ”n laughed, and XÄ«nyĆ couldnāt help a chuckle of their own, though they were quickly rewarded with a sharp smack to the back of their head. āStop wiggling!ā
SPECIALTIES:
Shapeshifting
RANK II (40 Points)
Because their more natural form is dangerous to those around them, they spent a lot of time carefully learning to keep their appearance human. However, they also were just as interested in exploring the alternate side of their heritage, and tapping into that power. So far theyāre able to consistently manage a more animalistic form of a large white wolf like creature, and can maintain it for awhile. With a great deal of effort and energy, they can also change themselves entirely to lightning to quickly travel a modest distance, but itās not something they enjoy doing. Because the beast theyāre descended from is so closely tied to lightning, these forms are dangerous and without care they could easily hurt someone since they give off a strong electric current. Because of this, they also avoid getting wet when in these forms, mostly for the safety of others.
Tattooing (magical imbued tattooing)
RANK II (20 Points)
They have always had some raw power, and a little natural control over electricity, but past that very little magical talent. They apprenticed themselves to JĆ¹nxiĆ”n, a local tattoo artist who specialized in both the art and in creating tattoos that served a similar magical purpose as a ward. He was a fairly strong sorcerer with a lifetime of practice, and taught them to channel their talents to some degree. However, their tattoos have limited power, things like a tattoo over a joint to help ease an ache or that changes color when exposed to a certain type of magic or chemical. They also tattoo humans, but donāt include anything out of the ordinary for them unless asked.
Greater Ward Against Detection
(10 points)
They have a tattoo on the back of their neck that contains the magic. It prevents them from being located through magical means, whether the intention is benevolent or not. At first glance it looks much like a spiral, or perhaps a circle maze, though upon closer inspection itās more random than that, and the lines donāt always meet. Itās difficult to focus on too long, or follow the lines with your eyes. However it runs off their own magic, and could be circumvented by someone who had a good enough sample of their magical signature for use in tracking them.
