Other Characters: None
Character Information
Name: Jin Ling, courtesy name Rulan.
Canon: The Untamed / Mo Dao Zu Shi
Canon Point: Episode 50. So spoilers for the entire series.
Age: 15
History: Wiki page
Personality: Short version: This child is the epitome of the expression Tsundere. He’s reluctant to apologize for his wrongdoings, doesn’t say when he wants something when he obviously does and refuses to admit he’s friends with someone despite going through hell for them.
Long version: Jing Ling is very brazen and haughty, quick to find fault with other people and isn’t above being a petty child. He’s easily provoked into anger by bullies of his fellow Jin clan Juniors and he can be rather rude. He’s arrogant and overconfident, has a lot of pride and wants to be recognized and prove himself as the heir to the position of Sect Leader for his clan. Being an orphan has garnered him a lot of pity and thinly veiled insults from his peers, which motivates him in a way where he wants to be beyond reproach, he wants the respect from everyone despite not having his birth parents to guide him on his way. He’s outright said he’ll show everyone that he’s stronger than them regardless of whether he has parents or not. Regardless of his conceited personality, Jin Ling has the positive aspect of pride in that he has a great deal of honor and a belief in paying his debts.
He has had an odd childhood. On top of being bullied for his lack of parents, he’s also been raised by his two very different guardians. Both suffering from deep emotional trauma, they projected a great many things onto him that had no bearing on his actual personality or wishes. Where one uncle coddled him, taught him arts and etiquette, made sure he knew the appropriate rites as the heir to the most powerful cultivation sect, the other made sure to beat combat training into his head, with the definition of tough love in the words “if you do that again, I’ll break your legs.”
Neither of his guardians ever showed him any physical affection whatsoever though they were very protective of him from afar. At the core, Jin Ling is extremely lonely, defensive of the memory of his parents that he doesn't actually have as they died when he was a month old, and acts out like any typical teenager, craving approval and attention from the two uncles who raised him, and getting mixed results in reply. He cries easily, and isn’t embarrassed enough about it for him to stop him doing it, but he also won’t cry for no reason.
Jing Ling has substantial emotional growth throughout the series, showing that he’s more than just the bratty arrogant peacock he’s made out to be. Being betrayed by one of the people he respected and trusted the most was a huge blow to his world view. However it also opened up a door for him to come to terms with the truth of his parents’ death and possibly also reclaim more of his ancestry and family, so far as forging a relationship with a relative who he’d been raised to hate. The upheaval of the temple events have allowed him to reestablish his relationships with his family and friends on his own terms, without the influence of a carefully crafted veil of lies that under which he’d been living for his entire life.
As a person, he’s hesitant to connect with other people, very suspicious overall of anyone’s intentions if he doesn’t know them, and it’s only as he meets his fellow Juniors from other sects that he starts to open up a little bit, almost entertaining the notion of having friends, but furiously denying the fact. Despite claiming to be a loner and to be above alliances with so-called lesser sects, he nevertheless tags along with the other disciples in their Night Hunts and investigations, and even though he bickers constantly with them, he clearly grows close to them all through the series. Jin Ling isn’t a cruel person, he’s just not very socially adept, and would speak impulsively without thinking first, which is an embarrassing trait to have as a future sect leader, but here we are.
Abilities & Skills: Jing Ling has been trained in both swordsmanship and archery since childhood, and has cultivated a fairly strong golden core which is a refined sort of spiritual energy. As he’s still a teenager, he’s got a lot to learn. And as canon powers will disappear in game he no longer will heal faster or be able to cast spells of any kind but he’s got the stamina and agility befitting a young cultivator still.
Inventory/Companions: Jin Ling will have his father’s sword Suihua, his bow and arrows, a Jiang Clarity Bell, a qiankun pouch (a bag of holding) with general supplies and deity binding nets, which upon entry to Aefenglom will expel everything in it onto the floor as its magic disappears. Woops.
He will also have his best girl with him, the spirit dog Fairy. Spiritual dogs are considerably more intelligent and sensitive overall. They’re capable of sensing danger and alerting people on a whole other level than regular dogs, and if told to find a specific person by name only, they will do so.
Choice: Monster - a Grim dog turnskin.
Reason: When he was still a child, Jin Ling got a spirit dog as a pet from his uncle. He’s grown up together with this dog and loves her very much and brings her with him everywhere. He adores dogs in general and is a little bit like a puppy himself sometimes too. I chose a Grim dog because he’s been surrounded by death most of his life since he was only a month old, thus it’s an awful but also a fitting image for him to be the symbolic “harbinger of death” as a monster.
