Character Info
⬢ Name:
⬢ Canon: If your canon has multiple names (ex.: MDZS/The Untamed), please take a moment to check and see if your canon is on the taken list already, and use the name there.
⬢ Canon Point:
⬢ History: We would prefer this to come in the form of a link or a series of links, but will accept written histories if there is nothing available.
For series with multiple routes and/or choices that can be made that effect the outcome of the game, please outline what choices were made as well.
⬢ Personality: Describe your character as best as you can. If we feel there is anything pivotal to the character that was left out, we will ask for revisions, so please try and be as thorough as possible. Be sure that the personality described is adequately reflected in your samples!
⬢ Powers: Because there is no power nerfing in the library itself by default, please list all canon powers, and outline what forms those powers take/what they can do. Feel free to link to a wiki section here as well, if that would be easier. Please note that any powers not on the application will not be accessible without a canon update, so we have something to refer to.
We do reserve the right to limit game-breaking powers, but will also work with you to give your character a reduced form of these powers, should they come up, so they won't be lost entirely.
⬢ Inventory: Please outline everything that was on your character's person at the moment they were pulled into the game. This includes weapons, armor, and anything in their pockets and/or any bags they might have been carrying. Please also describe (or link an image of) their second outfit from home, and choose two of the following three library shirts that they will find in their complimentary duffel. [1 2 3]
⬢ Sample 1: [Link] - An AC-length or longer non-network thread that showcases your character's personality. Samples may be from memes, psls, the TDM, or other games, so long as they are both accessible to the mods to read, and from within the past year.
⬢ Sample 2: [Link] - An AC-length or longer thread that showcases your character's personality. Samples may be from memes, psls, the TDM, or other games, so long as they are both accessible to the mods to read, and from within the past year. The second sample may be a network-style thread.

Shen Qingqiu/Shen Yuan | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System | Reserved
⬢ Name: Harry
⬢ Over 18? yep!
⬢ Contact its harry#7025 on disco or
⬢ Characters Currently In Game: nope!
⬢ Name: Shen Qingqiu/Shen Yuan
⬢ Canon: Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
⬢ Canon Point: Right after getting summoned back into Shen Qingqiu's body in the Holy Mausoleum
⬢ History: https://scumvillain.fandom.com/wiki/Shen_Qingqiu/
There's a summary of the novel's events on this page under the 'synopsis' section, but it's incomplete & what's there is kind of unnecessarily detailed, so here's a summary, I tried to make it as concise as possible!
⬢ Personality: As you might expect from someone who dedicated a lot of his time in his first life to reading and discussing a novel he professed to loathe, Shen Qingqiu is uhh not super in touch with his own feelings. It's not that he wasn't genuinely frustrated with Proud Immortal Demon Way most of the time, but you know how it goes – you get seriously emotionally invested in a piece of media that keeps letting you down, and you can either be normal about it, or you can spend years making a big, public deal out of how much you hate it while paying for every single extra the author publishes, having involved opinions about every single aspect of it, and yelling on the forums for characters you don't like to get castrated. Shen Qingqiu really thinks he has himself figured out, and he really, really does not. After he transmigrates, he thinks of himself as acting purely out of selfish practicality, but he's way more sentimental about the people around him than he generally acknowledges in his narration, and finds it very hard to be deliberately cruel to people even when he's still mostly thinking of them as fictional characters. In the aftermath of pushing Luo Binghe into the Endless Abyss, he insists in his narration that yeah it makes sense that people would assume he's sad because they think his favourite disciple is dead but he's actually obviously fine – what everyone is actually worried about is the fact that he's stopped eating, generally seems super depressed, and spends all his time moping around the sword mound he made for Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu is a very unreliable narrator about a lot of things (see also other people's motivations, feelings, sexual orientations, etc.), but especially about himself.
Although he has a lively, judgemental inner monologue, he usually seems pretty calm on the surface; this is partially because he's spent the last six years having to pretend that his familiarity with his surroundings doesn't primarily come from a webnovel, and partially because the body he transmigrated into has a really good poker face. He's long stopped trying to play out the character of Shen Qingqiu in a way that's accurate to the novel – he didn't want to die, after all! – but he is invested in seeming like someone who could be a lofty, refined immortal, which is at odds with a lot of his natural tendencies. In his heart Shen Qingqiu is lazy, fussy, spoiled and pretentious, and while it totally fits his image for him to act haughty and pedantic, if he was really left to his own devices he would be happy to just lie around all day reading trash fiction and Monster Hunter lore and eating pringles. Instead he has to be a respected scholarly magic sword guy who's admired by his disciples and colleagues... Life is so hard :/ Like, not that he doesn't get a kick out of doing magic and feeling cool, but god, at what cost,
(I'm interested in seeing to what extent he'll end up keeping the mask on, as it were, in a jamjar! The answer is probably 'at least a little', because no matter what he's still in Shen Qingqiu's body with Shen Qingqiu's face and he's just used to using it in certain ways, but how much beyond that will probably depend on what kind of people he interacts with most. Gotta say though being given tshirts and jeans is going to make 'pretending to be a guy who doesn't wear jeans' a really daunting prospect)
⬢ Powers: Shen Qingqiu inherited the cultivation of his body’s original owner; he is able to manipulate his spiritual energy to achieve superhuman and supernatural feats. Neither Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky nor SVSSS's author are very interested in getting extremely specific about the practice of cultivation or the precise array of abilities that are at the characters' disposal, but I will, try,
- Cultivation gives him, broadly speaking, superhuman physical capabilities, e.g. strength, healing, resilience, improbable leaping, etc. (He also doesn't physically age, but that's probably not relevant here!) Shen Qingqiu is, like, a more accomplished than average cultivator, but not a legendary talent like some of his peers.
- As a sword cultivator, Shen Qingqiu's spiritual sword Xiu Ya is linked to him, and he is able to make it fly around and do his bidding as well as being skilled at the regular kind of swordplay. He can also use it for transport by standing on it while he's controlling its movement. Or he would if it wasn't in library sword jail.
- One of Shen Qingqiu's signature moves is, we are told, imbuing a bunch of leaves with spiritual energy in order to use them as a flurry of blades, but he never does any other kind of plant themed stuff on screen
- He is shown sometimes using his fan as a spiritual tool for combat purposes. Not sure if that means the fans are in jail too but if they are that's pretty funny and he's going to be bummed out about it
- He can use talismans and hand seals for various kinds of spells, but you don't see a ton of this kind of thing in the book so I probably won't lean into it very much
- Theoretically he is capable of going without sleep or food, although he isn't in the habit of doing this except when he's depressed.
Not a power, but a supernatural quirk worth noting: Shen Qingqiu is afflicted with the inventively named demonic poison 'Without A Cure', which is supposed to kill you horribly but whose worst effects are staved off by regularly having his meridians cleansed by other members of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect. Even with this treatment, it causes his spiritual energy to just get cut off sometimes. Not sure if this should be considered an "injury" as discussed in the FAQ and if it'd be simplest for this to just be eliminated on entry? On the one hand having his powers disrupted at unpredictable intervals is fun, and needing help with cleansing it is a good potential CR vector with other characters with vaguely compatible abilities; on the other hand, in the event there are no characters whose players are up for that, he would presumably die... Lmao. I'm good with whatever the mods decide on this one!
⬢ Inventory:
- What he's currently wearing: like five layers of ridiculous xianxia robes in shades of green and white (regrettably the sleeves are bags of holding), extravagant hair crown, waist ornament, etc
- At least a couple of folding paper fans
- The Xiu Ya sword
- Knockoff jade Guanyin pendant
- Qiankun sleeve pocket lint (like regular pocket lint but possibly a bit haunted)
- t-shirts 2 and 3, god he is going to be so excited to wear a t-shirt again
