peak at his psyche ;
ββ .β¦ Sweet on the outside, bitter-ish on the inside ; Jian has a tendency of keeping up a very sweet and caring faΓ§ade, often times putting his charms on full blast to ensure he gets exactly what he wants. He makes it a point to overextend himself in every area in his life ; be it at work, where all-nighters are not a foreign concept to him - and neither is taking up double shifts. Or the times he finds himself in a master's house - doesn't matter if he has to do simple house chores, or go on a hunt or two for them. He might come across as scheming, which isn't entirely wrong. He seems to have a tendency of putting people before him - often times listening to everyone's worries, offering words of encouragement ( as encouraging as 'He's just jealous of you!' can be..) , and viewing every situation with zero bias. However, he's always poking the hornets nest - attempting to get a reaction out of people he finds 'interesting'. Most times, he's genuinely attempting to learn their life stories via a serious of finely timed 'uh huh..but why?'s. He might be enjoy gossip a little too much.Jian's main goal in life, regardless whether it's in his friendships, relationships, work or connections, is to be the favorite. And he'll do /anything/ if it means that spot is guaranteed.
charismatic, dutiful, compassionate, optimistic, reliable, protective, cheeky, friendly, empathetic.
honey mouthed, perfectionist, blunt, 'scheming', meticulous, self-reliant, private.
calculative, temperamental, snarky, hot-headed / easy to anger, grudge holder, distrusting.
& everything in-between . . .
Always humming out his answers or whistling random tunes, deadpans more often than not, habitual knuckle cracker / neck cracker, big fan of archaic phrases, plays with his earrings when concentrated, sleep talker, starts each day with a quick swim (if time allows for it), takes his tea with two cubes of sugar

dusty rooms, hospitals, people that liter, 'scratchy' pieces of clothing, loud & crowded spaces, the smell of burnt coffee or burnt sugar, empty / no-work days, extra humid days, cigarette smoke, overly loud sounds.
ββ .β¦ dislikes ;
ββ .β¦ history ;
A fish out of water VS the great unknown. A deep dive into what makes Jian the man he is today. His story consists of lots of twists & turns - and lies. Some unintentional, proceed with caution. Our narrator is a little..subjective.
the great reef ;
Jian's childhood begins near the outskirts of Siren's Cove, and ends in a sinking ship. Or well, sunken ship. Turns out, being the only male siren in ones pod carries more downsides than benefits - especially if you have a mother like Jian's. In the span of 65 seconds she reaches two very important epiphanies ; 1. with a child like this one, there is a high chance she might lose her newly gained status and 2. she's prepared to do anything if it means she gets to enjoy her cushy lifestyle for one more century. And it is exactly this realization that leads the mother to abandon her child, to weave a story of 'misfortune', 'terrible timing' and 'an outing gone so so wrong', there was truly nothing she could do to save the poor kid. While in reality...If one were to stop Jian now and ask him for anecdotes about his childhood or his time at the pod, he really wouldn't have too much to say. Best he can do is grimace, roll his eyes and deadpan ; "Ugh, way too coral-y."
growing pains ;
β¦ Hey random encyclopedia, should....are mermaids supposed to look like this?
mentions of blood, injuriesBeing left in the ruins of a decaying ship has some benefits - for one, you get to befriend cookie cutter sharks. Two and three go hand in hand ; you get to practice your kicked puppy eyes & then proceed to get adopted by a kind soul who can't stand to see you suffer. Maybe this should be titled "Manipulation 101: Teach them young" - Ehem. Somehow, someway, the siren finds himself amidst mermaids - and it couldn't get any more confusing. Not having any memories, at least feasible ones, of his time in the pod, make Jian believe that he's just one very, very unfortunate looking mermaid. A hypotheses only further confirmed when fearful whispers become the norm, & slowly take a more teasing approach. His adoptive mother, bless her heart, tries to teach him patience, kindness, impart on him a sunny disposition like no other -- but the feeling of feeling left never quite leaves him. Instead it bubbles up to the surface in the form of pure, unfiltered rage.The moment he comes of age, his teenage rebellion extends over to a whole new ballpark. Hak Jian decides to run away. Much like his mother he reaches a series of epiphanies ; he doesn't belong here. This isn't his real family. If he stays, he will disintegrate.Hak Jian decides it's time to find his actual family.Hak Jian gets to do nothing for before he can call out to his mother, be it in joy or pure anger, he is attacked.Hak Jian doesn't get to rejoice or reunite or rejoin his pod - instead, he gets to retreat to a random cave, and pray that his injuries don't jeopardize his fin.
cirque du . . . fish out of water ?;
If someone were to tell Jian his first time on shore would be in a human-sized tank, he'd have no choice but to laugh in their face. And it would be a funny made-up scenario if..It didn't come true.Succumbing to his injuries, Jian finds himself drifting away into feverish slumber - only to wake up to a blur or sounds, faces, blinding lights and a tank that was so NOT made for him. His immediate reaction is to flee, slam against the glass walls with all his might in hopes of breaking through. Only to remain in his new prison with an additional bruise. Okay, maybe the tank is made for him. But that doesn't stop the siren.Day in, day out, he tries to break free. Tries to claw at the glass in hopes of chipping it. At one point he figures biting down wouldn't hurt, until he realizes that yes it would hurt and he's back at square one. Scheming to break free while he's brought out in front of a new crowd of people, each one bigger than the last.Until the people stop coming. Turns out, not giving reactions to anything, ever, isn't exactly an interesting sight for people. If anything, it's just a financial burden that needs to be dealt with asap.And just like that, Jian learns his worth ; around 24 jade coins. At least he doesn't have to stay in a tank for the rest of his life.
2/10 stars ; not a mermaid. had gills. wouldn't fetch pearls for me.
10/10 stars ; Good. Splendid even. Insert other superlatives.
8/10 stars ; His bedside manner could use some work but other than that, I can't really complain. Knows a lot about vintage trinkets. Think he might collect them?
7/10 stars ; He said, and I quote "How erudite of you" after I finished my crossword??? Unsure if that was positive of negative??? Made some killer tea though!
10/10 stars ; My fish loved him! Pretty sure my gold fish is only alive cause he insisted on cleaning the tank twice a week.....and imparting a feeding calendar....and getting non plastic alg - Oh no, yeah, I think I finally understand his horrified gasps..Um...I need to write a letter?
9/10 stars ; Don't know what this is, don't really care for it. I was just told to tap the stars. Where's my %50 off on all skincare products coupon........?
