* position Security. species human (questionable). years old varies; 25 - 30; varies on where he is in life.Working for a Security Service, he oftentimes takes on fairly easy jobs that tend just involve looking after a person or looking after a person and a location. Easy work, hardly an issue (usually). The business is legitimate, but every now and then, they do occasionally look after unsavory individuals – at least those who appear legit on the surface. The company has a reputation to uphold, after all. Although Jianyu would have loved to become a dog trainer since his family oftentimes works with dogs, for now, he wants to try his hand at something different, and then, maybe one day, do just that. For the time, however, he does sometimes volunteer at animal shelters and assists with helping more skittish or aggressive dogs become more comfortable with others so that they may have happy homes in the future. His skill is such that many have jokingly said that he must be able to talk to dogs as they come to trust him relatively quickly compared to everyone else.
verse: hsr
* position mercenary. species human (quarter wolfen). years old 33.Path: The HuntElement: WindA mercenary-for-hire, his Corp, the Band of Swords, primarily handles escort jobs or bodyguard services. Most of the time, Jianyu travels with researchers and merchants to different places, making sure that they stay alive and aren’t eaten by local wildlife or that their goods aren’t stolen by bandits and the other unsavory individuals. It’s near boring work to him considering usually there are no problems (he wishes there was). Although he is not supposed to be accepting jobs for the most part due to being put as a Second-in-Command and needing to be at the base to help with paperwork and all other not very exciting administrative duties that come with his position, he gets antsy and likes stretching his legs sometimes. “Make sure you recruit people out there while you’re ‘vacationing’!” his boss often tells him on his departure. Alas, he never does any of that and will always say that he 'forgot’ upon his return. Always, always, has his hound with him. On occasion, if you’re lucky, you might catch him space racing as that has become a hobby of his since his younger days.
verse: genshin
* position mercenary. species Human. years old 33.Vision: AnemoOne would be hard pressed to learn much about Jianyu if asked. He will merely state that he is from Liyue – the Guili Plains at that – and then give no further elaboration if pressed aside from him becoming curious about the world as a whole thanks to the tales he would hear from the harbor. It was through these tales, along with the stories he grew up on in regards to Rex Lapis, that he would eventually take his leave of his homeland, and instead, ‘spread his wings’ elsewhere as if guided by the wind itself. The things he experienced in life were a series of little coincidences from how he awoke one day beneath a tree to see a vision sitting in the palm of his hand as a boy, all the way to when he eventually joined the Adventurer’s Guild, and then from there, joined a mercenary group to further strengthen his skills.His history, he would say, matters very little as there is hardly anything special about it. He was a young man who held endless curiosity and hunger for freedom, nothing more, nothing less. “Heh, sorry. No thrilling tales to offer from this experienced traveler. I was just another dreamer,” is what he’d always say. Jianyu occasionally likes serving as an escort to merchants, going with them from region to region and making sure they get home safe and sound from their journey. To him, it’s just another means of being able to travel – but this time, for profit without him having to dig around in his own pocket to do so.
verse: Wuthering Waves
* position ghost hound. species human (?). years old 27.Born in a village in Huanglong, his people were very self-sufficient and barely ever stepped foot in Jinzhou. As such, all issues were handled within the village and by villagers themselves rather than reliance on Midnight Rangers. This proved to be an issue when Tacet Discord outbreaks increased, and as a result, eventually the village was overwhelmed. Jianyu and his little sister were the only survivors of that destruction. Only fifteen with his sister being three, it was a miracle that they managed to reach Jinzhou hail and whole. Their aunt was quick to take them in, raising them both as best she could. Years passed, and one day Jianyu decided he would leave and find work to aid his aunt in looking after them both. Uncertain as to what he could do, he took to mercenary work, and then eventually, joined the ghost hounds as a group felt safer than doing it alone.Although he does not step foot in Jinzhou very often, he does send money back home and checks in on his sister. During his work as a mercenary, he handled an issue with a group of Dreadmane that were causing trouble on the road, attacking any and everyone who came through. There was one, though, that was oddly intelligent compared to the ones he had fought, and rather than kill it as he should, he let them go. The Dreadmane began to follow him around, shadowing him for a time, until eventually they approached -- hesitant, and careful. A bond was formed somewhere along the line, although if Jianyu is asked how that happened, he will merely shrug.
verse: Cyberpunk
* position Edgerunner. species human. years old 30.At one time, a long time ago, he was a soldier for Militech, going where they wanted him to go, killing who they wanted him to kill, but before that, he was a Nomad who lived for his family and stayed far away from the chaos that was Night City for the hard life that was being beyond its neon lights. What was it that made him forsake the values of his family that he would walk the path of a corpo dog? The reasons he would give, one that brings him great shame when uttered, was that he wanted to become stronger. He was naturally gifted with cybernetics, taking to the military implants with no issue, and equally as good with weapons placed into his hands. However, in time, the novelty of it all wore off, and when the blinders were gone, he realized that he was just a cog in the machine to be tossed away. He saw what Militech did, what corporations did to those around them, his comrades-in-arms especially who had given their all to a ‘beast’ that would happily devour them whole without a care in the world as to what happened to them afterwards. Though he had learned his lesson, he knew he could never return to his family.Lost on what to do with himself, eventually he became a mercenary taking on various gigs. What else was he supposed to do with the skills he had nurtured aside from using them? Primarily working solo, he does occasionally assist one particular crew. He is experienced and has been doing this profession for five years now, and so every now and then, when new and upcoming punks appear, he will assist them and teach them the ropes on how things are done in hopes they will live longer and won’t make the same mistakes he did when he began. He does hope, however, that none take to being an Edgerunner forever.
