DE ASHI BARAI - Mohammad MOHAMMADI

🌙🌟🌈🌧🍂 for any oc you wish!

This has been sitting in my askbox for a ridiculously long time, so I apologize. On the upside, that means it's here tonight, when D&D has been cancelled and I therefore need cheering up!

Any OC I wish, you say? I am in an Asia-ish mood, and I haven't talked about Gan yet. Let's talk about Gan — Ganbaatar, Rider of the Salkhi Clan, to give him his full title.

🌙- Does this oc have any unusual hobbies?

Gan doesn't really have time for hobbies (unless you count teasing Chouko as a hobby). He's too busy — busy doing what, you ask? Finding out things he wasn't meant to know, making friends and contacts, smuggling his people (and other captured persons) back to their homeland, and, you know, his actual job. That said, now that his job description has changed from "Enslaved stableman in the Imperial Stables" to "Captain of Her Imperial Highness's Personal Guard (and Spymaster for Said Imperial Highness)," he might have time to pick one up. Who knows!

🌟- Is this oc good at expressing themself through words or do they have to use other means?

He is! He's better at it than he lets on, in fact — he's the type of person who always knows not just what to say but also how to say it, and in his case, part of the "how to say it" often means pretending to be less fluent in the local languages than he is so as to appear nonthreatening. But on a more personal level, he's surprisingly open for a man with so many secrets, and while he's not eloquent in the traditional sense, he doesn't struggle to say what's on his mind.

🌈- What does this oc like and dislike about themselves?

Gan likes who he's become. He's proud that he's found honor and noble work in a foreign land; he's proud that he's turned what could have been a curse into a boon. He likes that he's found a role where all his natural gifts are well-used.

What does he dislike about himself? He dislikes that he's ensured he can never return home, not without giving up so much of what he's made of himself. He dislikes that he has penned himself in even as he gained honor.

☁️- What is this oc's clothing style like?

(Note — I can't find the raining cloud you used, so I'm assuming this is what you meant. If I'm just blind, tell me.)

Ganbataar's home country is similar to medieval Mongolia; he currently lives in a country similar to medieval China. That should tell you something. He prefers practical clothing, loose enough to move in but fitted enough not to catch on things and impede potential sneakery. Layers are good (it makes disguise easier). As a guardsman, he does spend a lot of time in armor, but he doesn't live in it like some do.

🍂- What music does this oc like?
