LOST CLAN CREATION FORM The Horseman
Name: Song Taomin 崧桃敏
Nicknames: Min
Gender: Female
Age: -- N/A
Original Clan: Conquest
Job Role: [ Scholar - Conquest ]: Scholars are clan members of non- Imperial bloodline who work hard in the literary and academic arts. They are also tasked with preserving the history and traditions of their clans as well as teaching new and old clan members the ways.
Specifically, Taomin is a curator of sorts, maintaining what is left of her deceased master's collection of writings on the historic significance of art and artifacts, and attempting to restore and record the existence of any that survived outside of her possession. She also will allow others to use or borrow those writings that might be useful to others in their jobs or tasks, but records the name of the borrower to ensure it's eventual return.
She also mantains a small personal collection of porcelain figurines and tableware sets, and she focuses on the unusual (hand painted alchemical sets, child-size pieces, etc). She spends much of her time piecing together their histories both to define their significance and to identify their previous owners. In her mind, they may have died, but their possessions endure.
Personality:
+Studious
Taomin is happiest when diving into a pile of scrolls, divulging their secrets for her personal notations or for the greater good of the Lost Clan. She is a definite bookworm, and often turns the the quiet comfort of quill and quotations. She rarely reads for pleasure, however - although she derives much enjoyment from her work - and the manuscripts she can be found perusing are usually historical or non-fiction in nature. Her specialty is lists and inventories, as she frequently creates scrolls just to keep track of the ones already in her possession. Taomin is very devoted to this work, and it eats away at most of her time. She finds it pleasantly distracting as well. Perhaps, now that they are Halloween side and have access to the inter-webs, she can begin cataloging things digitally.
+Focused
It is very easy for Min to concentrate on a task. She makes work lists and generally follows through with them to completion. She is goal-oriented, usually breaking up her daily work routines into a schedule and prioritizing her tasks well. It may seem mundane, but to Taomin it is the whole of her existence. There is always more work to do. She is not easily distracted or dissuaded, and rarely forgetful - her notes make up for her necessarily imperfect memory. She is deeply organized, often carrying a small leatherbound organizer everywhere she goes. As a result her personal space is meticulously arranged - making it easy if others require access to her resources or data.
+Serious
Min rarely has a problem grasping the gravity of a given situation. She is solemn, thoughtful and contemplative, and generally thinks before she acts. She is a go-getter and a problem solver- she would rather be doing something than watching everything unravel before her eyes. She is capable of keeping her head in most situations, and is rarely spontaneous- her actions are usually the result of careful forethought and planning.
-Insensitive
Min is a bit callous. It's not intentional, and she is just being honest with the facts as she perceives them. While she is not one to give an unsolicited opinion, she can be rather harsh if asked. She also has trouble understanding or relating to things outside her field or scope. She appreciates an art object for it's history or the story it can tell but- she doesn't have an 'eye' for art. Her reconstructions are just that; technical models based on or made up of parts of the original. To her its logical, but often she will miss important details that belie her general lack of emotional investment in the art. She is interested in making a perfect copy; not on capturing the original spirit of the piece.
-Constrained
Min's serious and focused attitude can lead her to be pretty severe in her dress, habits, and mannerisms. She doesn't really make jokes, and if she does, they're extremely dry ones and lacking in the 'humor' element. She is always meticulously well groomed, and is often extremely stiff and formal, usually overly so. She doesn't know how to relax, or turn 'off'- from dawn to dusk she is working, and she collapses on her bedroll at a very strictly scheduled time. Throwing her off her routine can prove difficult, and if you manage, you risk her temper, which only serves to further fluster her.
-Obsessive
Min's focus on her work and her devotion can often take on a compulsive air. She feels so driven to complete tasks or meet her self-set goals and deadlines that she often loses sleep or works herself into a state of exhausted mindlessness. Sometimes it is because the goal she sets is too lofty, but more often than not it can be because her inexperience led her to misunderstand the difficulty of the task at hand. This goes beyond her work, however, and extends to simpler things- her daily routine. Everything has it's exact placement in her workplace. She brushes her hair a certain amount of times each morning. Every part of her daily routine has a number and rhythm. It's a disturbing mix of obsessive compulsiveness and paranoia, and she keeps her structure and routine because of a conviction that without it, her life would be swamped in the chaos and convolution currently washing over the remains of once-proud Lost Clans.
Mount Form: PONIES
Weapon Form: A short bladed spear with a diamond-shaped tip. It can be used as a slashing weapon, but is balanced and is most effective when thrown. It also has a small golden tassle on the end.
FEAR ATTACK: (Using Y2 Headlights mechanic) Blinding Trail- When Min activates her FEAR, her weapon flashes gold, the tassle on its haft streaming a trail of light behind it. This can be used to attempt to blind or disable the opponent. Sometimes, the effect is bright enough to stagger two opponents.
