[sup]___________________________________[/sup][/center][hider=]
[sub][color=CD5C5C][b]Languages  ⫻[/b][/color] Chinese is Linqian’s first language, and the one that was primarily spoken in her household and with her two brothers. She is fluent in it and prefers it over English. She also speaks Kituba, taught by her mother and used in the few years they lived in the Republic of Congo, though she can't read or write in it. She can speak very basic conversational French.

[color=CD5C5C][b]Cooking  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian learned to cook from both her parents, and is the only one in her remaining family with any skill for it (her brothers burn most things they cook). She is surprisingly talented at it, going beyond cooking out of necessity to being able to cook fancy meals (when she feels up to it).

[color=CD5C5C][b]Bartending  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian has worked in bars since she was legally able to, to help keep her family afloat. She’s good at making drinks, and passable at service - with time, she’s gotten better at keeping control of her emotions in front of customers, at least.[/sub][/hider]

[i]"Don’t look too hard."[/i]

[indent]The first thing noticeable about Linqian is that she has a resting bitch face, eyes slightly narrowed and lips turned down. The second is that she’s clearly mixed, between her coily hair and hooded eyes. She’s a bit taller than average - though where she’s originally from in China, she’d be counted as tall. She’s relatively slim thanks to working on her feet and cutting costs by cutting down on the meals she eats. Her body is pear shaped, with a relatively flat chest but more curves towards her hips and legs. 

Linqian’s hair is formed in tight coils that fall just below her shoulders. She styles it in a few ways, most often a bun or low ponytail, but quite often will leave it loose. She used to straighten it, but has stopped since she grew to love her hair type more. Linqian’s eyes are round, with a gentle upturn at the outer corner. They are dark brown in colour with a hooded, double eyelid. The bottom lid creases up when she smiles, making her eyes much narrower - she looks prettier when she smiles than when she doesn’t (there just isn’t much to smile about right now). Overall, though, she views herself as attractive (and she is) - even if not conventionally.

Clothes wise, Linqian will normally wear tight shirts tucked into waist high shorts or loose trousers. When it’s colder she’ll wear a thick fleece jacket over the top. She enjoys wearing dresses and skirts, but rarely finds an occasion to. She dressed mainly in shades of blue, black and white with the occasional brighter colour thrown in - namely red, orange or yellow. She has her ears pierced, but doesn’t always wear earrings. On her right hand she has always wears a pair of wedding rings. Linqian also needs glasses, due to being a bit short sighted, but she almost always wears contact lenses when she goes out or doesn't bother. [/indent]

[/cell][/row][/table][sub][b][color=CD5C5C] Psychology[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub]
[i]"I never said I’d keep liking you.”[/i]

[INDENT][color=CD5C5C][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian’s primary long term goal has always been to fall in love and start her own family (surprising many, as she isn’t particularly maternal or even nice) eventually - though right now the thought of settling down terrifies her. Her shorter term goal is to see her younger brother through college and into independence before she can concentrate on her own life. Currently, her goal is to destroy the piece of shit that killed her twin brother.

[color=CD5C5C][b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b][/color] Family is more important than anything else. Linqian believes in always prioritising her family over any other relationships and sometimes herself. The bond between close family is incredibly important in her eyes - but she also doesn’t believe it extends to distant relatives. She also thinks that others opinions (outside of family) don’t mean shit, if they disapprove of what you do then fuck them. People that hate you are just jealous, and if anyone causes you problems you should just cut them out. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]SECRETS  ⫻[/b][/color] How she always felt inadequate next to her much smarter twin brother. Sometimes she resented him. She has insecurities that come from this, deep down not feeling good enough, but she’d never let anyone know that.

[color=CD5C5C][b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b][/color] Bisexual, with commitment issues. Linqian had a difficult breakup with a former coven member, which was the breaking point for her leaving the coven, and then was cheated on by her next partner. She tends to keep things casual nowadays, and has slept around quite a lot the last few years - but never with the same person twice. Her preference is probably slightly towards women when it comes to romantic attractions. While she does want to start a family, recently she's been figuring out she's probably polyamorous - it doesn't conflict with her goals, it just means her future family might be unconventional... like it always has been.

[color=CD5C5C][b]FEARS  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian’s worst fear has already come true - losing her twin brother. Second to this is losing the only family she has left, her younger brother. She’s scared of commitment. She also has a much more mundane fear of dogs.

[color=CD5C5C][b]REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN   ⫻[/b][/color]  Linqian’s reputation was mixed. On one hand, she was friendly and charming, especially when she first joined the coven. On the other hand she was fickle, quick to decide she disliked someone, and incredibly argumentative. There are plenty of members she got into heated fights with, and others that she gave the cold shoulder for seemingly no reason. While some might have neutral or positive opinions on her, there aren’t any that saw her as a close friend - any friendships she had were surface level only. Linqian left the coven explosively after being broken up with by her partner of the time. She wasn’t there when it dissolved, but caused enough fights after the battle that she definitely had a hand in it.

[color=CD5C5C][b]ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE STYGIAN SNAKE  ⫻[/b][/color]  Linqian fought against the Stygian Snake’s minions, and the apparition itself, from relatively early on. While she was nowhere near the strongest, she’d had her abstraction long enough to know how to use it and help. In the final battle she helped weaken it, lowering her body temperatures to deadly levels and using that to damage and fight its darkness constructs.

[color=CD5C5C][b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian is quick to change her opinions, especially in relation to other people or her emotions. One day she can be incredibly nice to someone, the next giving them the cold shoulder due to some perceived slight. She’s incredibly ‘hot and cold’ when it comes to relationships outside of her family. She also doesn’t hold back her opinions, often being quite blunt and harsh. She won’t back down on her opinions and is incredibly argumentative if someone disagrees with her. Once she loses her cool it's difficult for her to see reason, and normally it was her twin brother who reeled her in. For all she would deny it, she was incredibly dependent on her twin, and now that she’s gone it’s left her struggling.

[i]"Only one thing’s ever been constant in my life… Now he’s gone. Fuck."[/i]

[indent]Linqian was born in Tangshan, China just ten minutes after her twin brother, Jinhai. She spent the first seven years of her life there, relatively peacefully - until suddenly her dad had a falling out with his parents, cutting off all contact. Their family moved to Pointe-Noire, in the Republic of Congo, where her mum’s family was. The sudden move was a shock to Linqian and not one she took well, being in a different country speaking a language she struggled with, surrounded by family members she’d never met. Her and Jinhai grew even closer than before, practically becoming inseparable.

Half a year later her younger brother was born, then less than two years later they were moving again. This time to St Portwell in the USA. Yet another new country and language, but this time it was only their family of five. It took a while to settle in, and for a long time Linqian missed her original home, but eventually she managed and all was peaceful again.

Then at age fifteen Jinhai had his kindling event - and immediately after it he used his abstraction to freeze Linqian’s hair when she’d just come out of a shower, triggering [i]her[/i] kindling event. It was fucking weird talking to a great grandmother she’d never met, who was convinced that she should already know about Lux and how their family line could use it. Unlike Jinhai, who’d taken to it easily, Linqian was freaked out and confronted her parents over it. If she should know, they should too, right?

Turned out, both her mum and dad came from a long line of Adepts - in fact, it was because of this their dad had cut off his family and thus been severed from his lux. His parents believed in the purity of their line, trying to keep marriage between those of red lux only. On the other hand, her mum’s family was much more relaxed - most of her relatives were green lux but there were a few mixed just like Linqing and Jinhai. For some reason they’d made the decision to not teach their children about this, even though their mum still had her abstraction. So suddenly Linqing was not only in the midst of puberty and petty highschool drama, but she also had magic. Her and Jinhai started practising together whenever they had time - frustratingly, as with all things, he was better than her.

Then, the Stygian Snake appeared. Linqian’s dad, who was only one-eye-open now, was enthralled by it and tried to kill the rest of his family. Her mother used her abstraction to stop him, sacrificing herself in the process so Linqian and her brothers could get away. While fleeing they bumped into a group called the Sycamore Tree coven. Jinhai made the decision there and then to join, which Linqian followed (reluctantly). Their brother, only one eye open and eight years old, was sent to temporarily live with a distant relative in a different city. 

Linqian used her abstraction to participate in each battle with the Stygian Snake and its apparitions, primarily focusing on taking out the apparitions and thralls it created. She was always in a group with Jinhai - and always following his decisions over others. He was intelligent, and one of the group members who took part in planning with the information provided by those more knowledgeable about magic (namely Britney). Linqian, on the other hand, was there to help with the fight and cause unnecessary problems. 

Somehow, in amongst all this Linqian managed to find love with another coven member. She started to drift from Jinhai, spending time with her partner in the small moments in between battling the Stygian Snake’s minions. It was her first relationship and she fell hard very quickly. It caused tension in her relationship with her brother, which they resolved after multiple arguments and before the final battle.

On the day of the eclipse Linqian helped defeat the Stygian Snake by manipulating her body temperature to deadly cold levels, using this to distract and weaken it to help Ashley deal the finishing blow, even when it required her to get close enough to touch it - sustaining injuries in the process. She was drained and hurt after the battle, barely aware of the apparition being sealed and agreeing to have her memory wiped. Then, she joined the brand new coven afterwards.

Linqian played a big part in the petty arguments and fights the coven members had afterwards, and had no interest in going after other apparitions. They’d already done enough, surely? Honestly, she was only still there because of her partner and her brother still holding some interest in it.

Then, her partner suddenly broke up with her - over text on the day of a meeting no less. Angrier than she’d been in a long time Linqian confronted them when the coven met up, and what started out as petty insults and angry words turned into her being practically dragged out by Jinhai when she tried to use her abstraction to burn her ex. She never went back. She probably would’ve been kicked out anyway, and the coven dissolved only a month later.

Linqian moved on - well, as much as she could when her parents had died. She dropped out of highschool to start working, first in supermarkets then in bars when she was old enough. Together her and Jinhai moved for his college, and their younger brother moved back in with them now that they were legal adults. It was difficult, but between her job and Jinhai working part time around his degree they made it work.

Finally, after years of being the main breadwinner of the family, her brother graduated his law degree and passed his bar exam. Her younger brother was finally in college too. From now on things would be easier for Linqian. She wouldn’t have to work herself to the bone. The night after her brother got a job at a well known law firm she went to work with this knowledge, more relaxed than she had been for a long time, and looking forward to a drink with him once she was done.

Instead she came home to his unmoving body in their living room, blood staining the ugly cream carpet. He had been stabbed to death, and the only pointer towards who’d done it was a wolf idol she found hidden in his bedroom.

Linqian lived in a daze for a week after that, sorting out everything that needed to be done when someone died, and continuing as if she hadn’t lost one of the most important people in her life. It was as if she wasn’t quite there. She felt emotionally numb, but also incredibly volatile at the same time. 

When Auri reached out to her about the string of murders that were happening - murders including her brother - Linqian didn’t hesitate to return. Under any other circumstance she’d decline (especially with the risk of seeing her ex again), but not for this. She needed to find whatever had done this, and make sure it died just like her brother had.[/indent]

[color=CD5C5C][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] [i]Red & Green Lux.[/i] Channeler: her mother’s wedding ring

[color=CD5C5C][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian is a relatively experienced red and green lux user, with a specialisation towards temperature manipulation. However she’s not been able to spend much time on her spells the past ten years due to looking after her family. She has a still undiscovered affinity towards fire and more advanced self transformation, which she’s only touched the surface of. 

[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]火, Fire Phase ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian's primary discipline, which encompasses both her main speciality - temperature manipulation - and future fire related spells.
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Thermomancy  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian's primary spell specialty that allows her to manipulate and control both external and internal temperatures, and weaponise it. This contains her spells that combine both heat and cold, along with her sole heat spells.
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Body Temperature Manipulation  ⫻[/b][/color] The spell Linqian is most skilled with, she can manipulate her own body temperature to deadly levels. This results in her touch being damaging. Along with this it means her body radiates heat or the cold. This change is visible, causing her to glow orange if she heats herself up or to get paler if she cools herself down. Her own body temperature can go up to over 1400°C - hot enough to melt metal. It can go down to -100°C, which is cold enough to make steel brittle. With more concentration she can change the temperature of specific body parts, rather than her whole body. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Air Temperature Manipulation  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian can cause change the air temperature in a radius around her. She can increase it up to 40°C (104°F), a heat which other humans can survive but that can also cause hyperthermia. She can decrease the air temperature around her to around -15°C (5°F), a survivable but possible dangerous temperature and can cause hypothermia.  She can control what temperature she manipulates it to, to a certain degree (she will never know the exact temperature but could roughly guess by making it from “somewhat hot” to “extremely hot”). 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Super Heated Self Heal ⫻[/b][/color] Combining her Red and Green Lux, Linqian can use heat to heal herself. She superheats any wounds (to well about a thousand degrees), with the ability to do multiple at once, and this heals them. However before they heal this superheating causes her excrutiating pain which she has to suffer through to heal. If she can tolerate that, she can heal from almost any wound that wouldn't kill her within a few minutes. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Temperature Beam  ⫻[/b][/color] A spell that Linqian is currently working on after getting shot at, the aim is to have a focused beam of incredibly high or low temperature that she can shoot from a finger at a range. Currently she's only been able to get it up to 30°C and down to -5°C... which is basically useless. Its basically hitting people with a pinpoint hair dryer or piece of ice. 
[/indent][/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]木, Wood Phase ⫻[/b][/color] A discipline in relation to 木, this currently contains floramancy spells taught to Linqian by Britney Williams.
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Floral Transformation ⫻[/b][/color] Taught to her by Britney Williams, this spell is Linqian's own floramancy where she combines red and green lux to transform into plantlife. At the moment, this is more limited in form. She can only transform her arms. They primarily turn into vines, or can turn into bark like tree trunks - which is a more limited but defensive form. She can shape the vines into anything she wants within reason, growing flowers along their length or making them covered in spikes. These can extend out about 2 metres, and can split into up to five different vines parts which she can manipulate seperately. Their tips can be blunt, for manipulation, or sharp to use as a weapon.  

[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Flaming Flora ⫻[/b][/color] A dangerous but potent combination of her floral transformation and body heat manipulation. When transformed into floral form, Linqian heats herself up to extreme degrees. This sets the vines on fire, giving her a flaming weapon she can completely manipulate. However, the longer it burns the more it will hurt her, and she can only use it for a short period before having transform back. [/indent][/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]水, Water Phase ⫻[/b][/color] A discipline containing Linqian's sole cold spells, along with ice related spell taught to her by Jinhai - which she has little affinity with.
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Cryomancy ⫻[/b][/color]
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Frozen Wall ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian can cool down her skin to between 0 and -50°C, using the coldness to physically toughen and enhance her skin. This allows her to dampen the damage of attacks. It doesn't completely tank or negate any damage, but can dampen the effect of moderately strong magical or physical attacks. Stronger magical attacks will completely get through the enhanced durability. It's now stable, and she can keep it up throughout a series of attacks, but eventually something will get through it. Like her body temperature manipulation, her body is cold enough to be damaging. At the lowest limit she quickly causes frostbite, and eventually hypothermia.[/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]Ice Hands ⫻[/b][/color] Taught to her by Jinhai, Linqian can turn her hands into ice and manipulate them. She’s not very good at this spell, as she doesn’t have much of an affinity with it. [/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]金, Metal Phase ⫻[/b][/color] A discipline currently containing spells related to lightning, with the future possibility of spells in relation to metal and magentism. 
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Lightning Dildo ⫻[/b][/color] Based on Drake's lightning arsenal which he taught her, sixteen year old Linqian developed the lightning dildo spell because it seemed like a great and hilarious idea. Just as the name says, Linqian can create a semi-solid dildo made out of lightning. She can technically hit enemies with it or throw it, and it'll shock on contact. Unlike Drake's lightning weapons, it's pretty fucking useless in battle. But also she's not a sword wielding nerd.
[/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]變化 [Bianhua], Metamorphosis ⫻[/b][/color] A series of spells Linqian has started developing, originally stemming from her want to fix how she looked easily. This is green lux focused and she hasn't put much work into it. They focus around manipulating her own appearance. Currently she can mainly fix her appearance, and hasn't worked much on anything that properly changes it. 

[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Self Fix ⫻[/b][/color] The only spell Linqian has properly developed, this is a basic appearance manipulation spell. It allows Linqian to 'fix' parts of her appearance - removing a blemish, tidying her hair when it's a mess, lightening dark eye bags. She can only do it one issue at a time and its a temporary fix.

[color=CD5C5C][b]Hair Style ⫻[/b][/color] A spell that allows Linqian to control her hair and style it. She's currently not very good at it, and it takes longer than doing it manually. Her aim is for it to eventually be instantaneous, saving her a lot of time. [/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]太阳, Sun Phase ⫻[/b][/color] Less a discipline (and not named after one of the five phases, technically), rather all the joint casts Linqian has.
[indent]
[b][color=#CD5C5C]T[/color][color=#C26164]o[/color][color=#B7666D]o[/color] [color=#A1707E]H[/color][color=#977686]o[/color][color=#8C7B8F]t[/color] [color=#7685A0]T[/color][color=#6B8AA9]o[/color] [color=#5695BA]H[/color][color=#4B9AC2]a[/color][color=#409FCB]n[/color][color=#35A4D4]d[/color][color=#2BAADC]l[/color][color=#20AFE5]e[/color] [color=#0AB9F6]⫻[/color][/b] A joint-cast between Linqian and Aryin Thorne, which turns the two of them into super-heated, super-durable fighting machines. They both punch each other in the gut, at the exact same time, to combine their green lux to like physical walls that can tank near any hit. At the same time, Linqian infuses them both with her red lux to turn them super hot - so hot they glow as if they were made of [i]magma[/i]. They're hot enough to melt metals, and durable enough to tank physical and magical hits... While also being burning hot to touch. This makes them both incredibly dangerous, in both offensive, magma hot punches and wall like defence. This spell does burn of their clothes. 
[/indent]

[/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b][/color]
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Fire Phase ⫻[/b][/color] These spells are all limited by what temperature she can achieve, and with each spell she can either only make it hot or cold (but she can combine it between the spells).

[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Body Temperature Manipulation  ⫻[/b][/color] She’s limited by temperature, between ~1400°C and -100°C. This isn’t precise, Linqian can't choose be to 102 degrees say. She can only keep her temperature outside of normal for thirty minutes, then needs to rest for at least five. She can push herself to do it longer, but it will start damaging her. Due to emotional fields she can’t just kill other paranormal beings by, say, boiling their blood (though she can damage them). She can’t heat up one body part and cool down another at the same time. Also if she gets too hot it'll start affecting her clothes - at ~400°C any natural fibres will set on fire, and 500°C for non natural fibres.

[color=CD5C5C][b]Air Temperature Manipulation ⫻[/b][/color] She can change the temperature from -15°C (5°F) to 40°C (104°F), and this isn’t precise. The radius is limited to five metres around her, and it will always be the whole radius. Like above, emotional fields dampen the effect of this. She can hold the temperature for about twenty minutes at a time. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Frozen Wall ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian is more limited in the cold temperatures she can use with this spell - going between 0 and -50°C, rather than the much lower ones she can go to with her generic body temperature manipulation (but still damaging and possibly deadly). She can't use [i]any[/i] spells that depend on heat while using this one. She can't use this on a specific body part, it's all or nothing. She can keep this up for thirty minutes before needing to wait another thirty to use it again. Eventually, enough attacks will start to 'crack' her enhanced skin. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Super Heated Self Heal ⫻[/b][/color] The larger or deeper damage is, the longer it will take Linqian to heal. She can stabilise any wound within five minutes, so she won't die unless its near instantaneous. Small things will heal in seconds, larger minutes, and something that [i]would[/i] kill her could take ten minutes or more. Since she has to heat up the wound to an extreme degree, anything near the area will be burnt away. She can't use any spells that depend on cold while healing. The more she's healing at once, the longer it takes. Until she truly wants to live for herself, she won't be able to use it without experiencing the pain of her flesh being burned before its healed.

[color=CD5C5C][b]Temperature Beam  ⫻[/b][/color] Right now this spell can only go between 30°C and down to -5°C. It has a range of 20m, but its useless until she improves the temperatures. [/indent]
[color=CD5C5C][b]Wood Phase ⫻[/b][/color] 
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Floral Transformation ⫻[/b][/color] At the moment, Linqian can only transform her arms. They transform into vines specifically which can then be manipulated into different types of flora. They can extend out an extra two metres beyond where her arm normally would go. She can't use it along with any extreme temperature changes- as it would kill the plant life, or set it on fire.

[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Flaming Flora ⫻[/b][/color] She can only sustain this spell for a short period of time, before it starts to hurt her. She can't manipulate the vine as easily as when it's not on fire, and it exerts much more energy to use. [/indent][/indent]

[color=CD5C5C][b]Metamorphosis  ⫻[/b][/color] Linqian's self fix take a few seconds to come into affect, and she can only fix one thing at a time. She's limited in how much she can fix and keep fixed at a time - one large thing (so if she has to properly fix her hair, thats it) or multiple smaller things. It takes a bit of energy to do. Her hair styling takes about as long as it would manually, if not longer. Both only last up to eight hours. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Ice Hands ⫻[/b][/color] If the ice her hands turn into is damaged, her actual hands are also damaged. She can only do it for five minutes at a time. 

[color=CD5C5C][b]Lightning Dildo ⫻[/b][/color] This takes a few moments to create and is pretty fragile. Plus, it's a fucking dildo. There's not much you can do with a dildo made out of lightning. 

[b][color=#CD5C5C]T[/color][color=#C26164]o[/color][color=#B7666D]o[/color] [color=#A1707E]H[/color][color=#977686]o[/color][color=#8C7B8F]t[/color] [color=#7685A0]T[/color][color=#6B8AA9]o[/color] [color=#5695BA]H[/color][color=#4B9AC2]a[/color][color=#409FCB]n[/color][color=#35A4D4]d[/color][color=#2BAADC]l[/color][color=#20AFE5]e[/color] [color=#0AB9F6]⫻[/color][/b] Aryin and Linqian can keep up this spell for about fifteen minutes total. Their body temperatures go up to about to about 1200°C (melts most metals). While they can tank most hits, something can eventually get through. The heat is solely dependent on Linqian's red lux, if she's taken out that aspect is removed. Aryin can't store energy from hits taken in this state. Linqian can't use her air temperature manipulation for cold temperatures in this state.
[/indent]

[color=CD5C5C][b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b] [/color]
[indent][color=CD5C5C][b]Thermomancy  ⫻[/b][/color] While heated up via Body-Temperature Manipulation, Linqian is more susceptible to water and other factors that would cool her down. While cooled, it's vice-versa; she is far weaker against fire and the heat. She's not entirely immune to the effects of heat/cold, and going too hard in one direction can cause injuries. This does not differentiate between friend and foe; she can accidentally burn or freeze a friend touching her. If Linqian quickly shifts from one temperature to another, she can induce thermal shock in herself and possibly die. These Spells do not differentiate between friend and foe and can be risky during team-based combat. If she uses Air-Temperature Manipulation with her Body-Temperature manipulation spells, they can also cause her to overheat/freeze faster.

[color=CD5C5C][b]Metamorphosis  ⫻[/b][/color] No weaknesses to note.

[color=CD5C5C][b]Ice Hands ⫻[/b][/color] This Spell weakens her against fire/heat-based attacks and can cause her [i]actual[/i] flesh to melt (not pretty).

[color=CD5C5C][b]Lightning-Dildo ⫻[/b][/color] The Spell provides no resistance to electricity, and Linqian can still electrocute herself with it. If she's touching water or exposed to water while using it, then she can short-circuit.

[b][color=#CD5C5C]T[/color][color=#C26164]o[/color][color=#B7666D]o[/color] [color=#A1707E]H[/color][color=#977686]o[/color][color=#8C7B8F]t[/color] [color=#7685A0]T[/color][color=#6B8AA9]o[/color] [color=#5695BA]H[/color][color=#4B9AC2]a[/color][color=#409FCB]n[/color][color=#35A4D4]d[/color][color=#2BAADC]l[/color][color=#20AFE5]e[/color] [color=#0AB9F6]⫻[/color][/b] By activating Too Hot to Handle, Linqian and Aryin's movement speed is slowed to a crawl, and they can only accomplish a leisurely walk. By glowing hot like magma, the two make themselves a very bright and noticeable target. The spell's super-heated state makes it highly vulnerable to cooling effects like water, ice, or cold/water magic - which can lower the heat and effectiveness of their durability. The Spell also doesn't differentiate between friend and foe, and can easily injure friends or disrupt their magic just as well as the enemies. Too Hot to Handle also poses a significant stamina drain, and can leave the two exhausted afterwards.

[color=CD5C5C]”... So? Why the fuck would I care?”[/color]

[color=CD5C5C]”Fuck off, Jinhai, I barely know Britney! Talk to her, don’t talk to her, I don’t care. You’re close, you like her, you think she’s oh so smart even after all she fucking did. I don’t care. Don’t talk like I’m fucking controlling or anything.”[/color]

She’s helped me a few times now… And I’m confident she’ll have my back. I’ll have hers, too, and not just because of the whole… situation with Greyson. I like her. I can see why you were friends. I really do. I’m glad that we’re growing closer. I still don’t entirely trust her, but who do I fucking trust? Not a lot of people. I do get the feeling she looks down on me… but that’s fine. She’s probably right to. In what world do I live up to you? I’ll accept being the inferior version, always.”[/color]

He hated you, like I hated Victoria, and you didn’t like him. But he’s my friend, whatever you think. Thought. Fuck. He’s lost someone too. Jade was… well, I imagine he’s feeling the same as me.

[color=CD5C5C]”So? Why the fuck would I care?”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”Oh, I can’t talk to you about my concerns? Why don’t I go talk to someone else, then, like Anya-”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Fuck no, you promised you wouldn’t contact that bitch…its been ten fucking years. Alright. What’re you so concerned about?”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”It’s just interesting. Maybe it's about the murders, or all those artifacts she’s been hoarding.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Hahaha, that’s boring shit, why wouldn’t she just come out with it? Maybe- maybe she’s going to fucking confess to you. Imagine that, emotionless Sloane having fucking feelings!”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”You might be onto something... It’s not a surprise, with looks and brains like mine. Anyone would want to date me. So many did during college, it was a real pain to turn them all down.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Oh shut up, there’s no fucking way. It's been ten years- and even if she did, you wouldn’t say yes, would you? Fuck, have some standards, Jinhai.”[/color]
[hr][sub]current day…[/sub]
[color=CD5C5C]”You know who else hasn’t changed? Sloane. She’s still just as stuck up as she was ten years ago. With that fucking boring expression and constant judgments. The other day, she told me that I had to take responsibility for how fucked up my life was. Hah. I’d like to see her live a day in my shoes, do a day of actual fucking work. But you know what? She backed off when I said you’re- you’re- well, you know. She offered to pay for the funeral. I accepted, because it’s not about me. It’s about you. Giving you the goodbye you deserve the… fuck. I don’t want to. I’m glad that even though she’s the worst, she values your friendship. Most of your other friends didn’t, fucking assholes. I still don’t like Sloane, but she’s slightly less shit. It is [i]still[/i] so fucking hard to not slap her. You aren’t even here to stop me, but I’ve fucking managed it- better than Drake, hah. But she needs to fucking watch herself… because I can only hold myself back so much.”[/color] 

[hider=old]Linqian really didn’t get on with Sloane, and that hasn’t changed. She did [i]try[/i] to get on with her ten years ago, because Jinhai did, but she just couldn’t. Sloane was stuck up, ruined everything fun with her permanently dead facial expressions and dished out constant critiques towards Linqian and many others. The arguments between the two of them were some of the fiercest, because Sloane was a constant fucking inconvenience to Linqian’s life. She seemed to take issue with Linqian just existing, and Linqian took great issue with her attitude. A fair few times it almost devolved into a physical fight (on Linqian’s half, at least), and the only thing that stopped it was Jinhai physically dragging her away. [/hider]

She even has a kid now- he’s super cute, honestly, made me miss when Yi-er wasn’t a fucking nightmare. We’re similar, cause we’ve got a lot to fucking protect and we’ve lost so much shit… I feel bad for taking Greyson’s side, sorta, when shit happened. I mean, he was just being his normal dickish self and she tried to fucking smash a bottle over his head. Fucking hell, it was bad… Hopefully that shit just blows over. Course I’ll choose Greyson- he’s my friend and fucking paying me- but I don’t want Tayla to get hurt. Her kid doesn’t deserve that… she doesn’t deserve that.

[color=CD5C5C]”What the fuck is this?”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”An agreement that you won’t contact Greyson now that we’ve left Sycamore.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Are you fucking with me? You wrote a whole legal agreement shit- I already agreed not to, can’t you take my word for it? Fucking hell- what is your fucking problem with Greyson? I get that you hate him, but this shit is going too far, Jinhai. He’s not even that bad!”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”And that’s the fucking problem, Linqian. You don’t think he’s that bad. He’s a [i]criminal[/i] who can get inside your mind. But you just see him as some fun friend - one that you can hook up with now that Bianca’s out of the picture.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Keep Bianca fucking out of this, Jinhai.”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”I’m not wrong. I’m being pretty reasonable, letting you keep in contact with people almost as bad. But Greyson- Greyson’s a dangerous creep. I don’t want you around him.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”’Let me’? You’ll let me, will you? Just like I let you be around Sloane and Anya and all those other fake bitches- I’m not stupid. I know what he’s like. Why the fuck would I even sign this?”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”Perhaps I’ll finally ask Anya out for dinner like I was considering… I’m sure you’d [i]love[/i] to have her in your life more, right, Meimei? Or, I never see her again.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Knock it off with the ‘meimei’ shit, you ass, I’m minutes younger… Fine. Fine! You don’t see Anya, I don’t see Greyson.

[color=CD5C5C]”If you were here, you’d be so fucking pissed at me. I mean, if you were here this wouldn’t even be happening… Haha. I’m hanging around Greyson again. Well, more than that- yes we finally fucked, I can tell you’re judging from up there, fuck off, Jinhai- but I’m also working for him. Look. I need the money, he has the money. No, I don’t fucking trust him completely. But he’s my friend as well as my boss, technically. Would’ve still been all these years if you hadn’t fucking- well, whatever. He can take all the shit I throw and throw it back. I like that. It’s not fun being around people who just get upset when I’m a bit mean to them, or get pissy over all the little shit. He gives back as good as he gets, y’know? I can actually fucking relax a bit around him, which I [i]need[/i]. I feel a little more like someone with their own fucking life when we hang out… I can forget about all the shit responsibilities a bit even without letting him in my brain. Sure, he’s a dick, but so am I. You know how many people can put up with me? It’s not fucking many. And he’s good company. You’re not here to stop me anyway.

But don’t worry. I’ll keep him away from Yi-er.”[/color]

[color=#5487FF][right]”Let me see- oh, you’re right. The art they’ve chosen has quite the melancholic feel to it… The tragic artist, I suppose. Have you been in touch with him lately?”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”No- and I don’t understand any of that shit. Art is art, all I see is some fucking cool colours. You smart types can talk about that shit without involving me. Maybe I should text him, it’s been a while… He was always so chill. I miss bitching about Sloane with him, cause you won’t fucking do it with me.”[/color] 
[color=#5487FF][right]”You’ve never tried. There’s plenty about Sloane I could bitch about, even if we’re friends. But if you want hatred… You’ll have to go to Jasper.”[/right][/color]

Sure, we fought all the fucking time before, because she was a judgmental bitch. When she called you a coward… Fuck, I was ready to burn her skin off. But as long as she doesn’t act like that, I’ll be civil. We both got bigger fucking problems to deal with. I don’t have time to deal with her problems, because I’ve lost you… Fuck, at least I’m not making it everyone else’s problem, too.”[/color]

She’s annoying and whiney, but she’s latched onto Britney and Greyson is doing some mind shit on her so now [i]I’m[/i] also stuck with her. So got really fucking clingy, too, what if she’s attached?

[color=#5487FF][right]”Heh, of course they’re still open. There’s still a few difficulties when we’re planning… People say things he doesn’t quite understand, but I’ve always managed to smooth it over.”[/right][/color]

[color=CD5C5C]”’Seven fucking years. Seven…fucking…years. That’s how long I’ve had the displeasure of knowing you. From the day we met I knew we’d never be friends. I made sure of that when I pushed back and forced you to fight me-”[/color]
[color=#5487FF][right]”Fuck, how long is this?”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”Shut up- ‘Some would say I won that fight, some would say we tied, but you know what I’d say? I think that you fucking lost that fight but won the war because I fucking love you bro.

[color=#5487FF][right]”Heh, I’ll consider it… Well, what did you do for your ‘friend anniversary’ or whatever this is.”[/right][/color]
[color=CD5C5C]”I sent them a letter.”[/color]

But as soon as I saw them again, that was it. Like ten fucking years hadn’t passed. I need someone I can actually trust, because you’re not- fuck. I just can’t trust anyone else right now. They’d be fine around Yi-er, too- and you now how much I don’t want fucking coven members around him. You were the same, even with your friends… Whatever. I know they’ll have my back without any fucking conditions. Maybe it’ll be the same for Britney… and Greyson. But I can depend on them. Fuck, it really is good to see them again. They actually fucking understand shit! Not that I’m unloading all my problems on them- you know I can’t do that- but they get the money shit. Fucking sucks. I forgot how strong Aryin’s punch was after ten years of texting and calls… Fuck, I think it might bruise. Definitely don’t tell them- oh. You can’t. Haha. Well, don’t worry. With this bitch on my side, I won’t be joining you anytime soon.”[/color]
