some yanting jun thoughts ๐:
he conducts himself in a mild-mannered exterior with singular goals ( similar to that of ningguang tbh )
dealing with the heliobus requires mental fortitude, as beings who capitalize on a emotions and humans' will. yanting jun is one that deals with what remains of the flint emperor, and they understand that it requires require care. every incarnation so far for yanting jun has had to go through this fortification. it is what has aided zhuming to become a peaceful ship.
much like huaiyan, yanting jun is a craftsman! he works with a variety of different specialties, and closely with vidyadhara craftsmen from the zhuming and other flagships. so far researching how they can use cloudhymn magic with objects and other tools. he is also a pioneer in artifex branch of alchemy technology.
because zhuming is a ship that has exceeded other flagships in technological advancements, especially with being able to get in touch with and learn from many different worlds and outworlder intellectuals, the zhuming and its people have a more "wider worldview". as do their high elder, caught in between tradition and evolution. yanting jun has a strong sense of justice as their general does, albeit a more tempered flame about it.
does use cloudhymn magic, but doesnt rely on it either. it is their responsibility as weilder of the heavenly flame to practice that authority, but ytj also likes using human creation for everyday aid.
yanting jun is somewhat of a poet, literally "distributing sparks of inspiration without a care". they'll come up with a blueprint for anything, throwing away ones that won't do him good, and likes to oversee the training of new generation artisans.
they are always building off of previous designs and newer creations. yanting jun's previous incarnations' research is stored in their palace, and current incarnations always strive to improve or discard potential breakthroughs.
merchants! make sure your products are to the high elder's liking, for the chance that their purchase at your shop may be used in their newest curios! yanting jun is particular about the quality of jade they use, if the steel is enough that not even the mightiest arrows could penetrate, and whether or not the next batch of porcelain ready to be shipped out to the rest of the hexafleet is of the finest craft.
