A young hunter from a rural village deep within the mountains. He was exiled and chased out of the village after he sabotaged his older brothers' magical equipment before the villagers went out to hunt one day, causing a horrific accident that hurt many people.
Nobody knew his motives for doing such a thing, but one thing was for sure, they could not accept his brash and malicious behaviour. Disowned and furious, he fled the village after the exile order was issued, wandering in the woods before stumbling across another village, where he began a new life, assuming different identities and using his appearance to gain sympathy, and later turned to his knowledge when he could no longer play the role of a scared, hungry child for food and shelter.
He was a wanderer who is constantly travelling, unsure of where he belonged, but one thing is for sure: he never regretted his actions. Once he was accepted into NRC, he went quite eagerly, believing he could find his true self there. But who knows? A leopard can't change it's spots after all, only time will tell.
Abilities:
Unique magic: Capgras' performance
Ming can completely copy someone if he has a personal item or an item of sentimental value of the person he wants to copy. He doesnt necessarily need to acquire these items with the targets consent, he can just steal them.
The items are stored in tiny beads which he keeps on his person at all times, these beads can change colour, shape and size on Mings command, this particular storage method is not related to Mings unique magic.
Using the targets unique magic will return the item to it's owner from where it was before it was taken.
Other abilities & physical traits:
He is swift, nimble, and has a quick reaction time, like a monkey! (Although, comparing him to a macaque is more accurrate?), and has amazing hearing.
He can store things in tiny beads and take them out whenever he wants, living beings do not count under things that could be stored. The items weigh a fraction of what they would at full size - meaning he has to be careful about what he stores and how many he stores.
Due to having lived as a wanderer for a long time, he has a lot of stamina and good endurance.
He is very frail, and quite weak. Send help, one breeze and he will fold like a lawn chair, rip.
Design refs, funnies, rambles and hcs (alternativrly, wall-o-text):
This character is inspired by the <six-eared macaque> or <Liuer Mihou> from the Journey to the West. I dunno man i'm just a huge sucker for myths so of course i had to use one for my TWST oc (oc? Sona? I have yet to decide hes an overexaggeration of traits people have sajd about me who knows)
I wrote all the tinnny refs on the character sheet, but to elaborate on some of them, the purple headpiece is on both sodes of his head, its supposed to reference the six ears of the Liuer mihou!
His eye colour having some yellow is because i wanted to reference Sun Wu Kongs eye colour but not make it 100% the same, i might make a character based off of him but., i dunno.., likely wont since i hc that they would be brothers here, aka. Sun Wu Kongs character would be the one who got sabotaged by Liu Bo Ming.
His earring, while not drawn very well here, is supposed to be a gun (no not one that shoots stuff, a long staff.) Because haha funny stick go brrrrr
Hes pretty short. Like really short. Like way too short, or is everyone just tall? Who knows (its the former, but he wouldnt admit it to anyone)
He has tiny beads sown into various parts of his clothing, to do magic tricks and as storage. He has a lot of beads on his school uniform because he keeps his school supplies in there.
The purple accessories are actually worn over his ears, to muffle his hearing a bit, otherwise everything would be too loud, all the time.
Hehee i wanted to draw water so i drew water in different fonts (colours) none of these are filters btw i just painted the different colours on to make them look like filters :33
Tbh i think if i added more droplets it woulda been more realistic but hey!! Im just vibing
