Liao Jiyu the One Man Army: Soul Artist. Wanderer. Grump. Hero? Possibly. Trained by Aline the renegade and Cado the master, and a disappointment to both, but still probably in the top 10 most powerful soul artists in the galaxy. Jiyu disdains the political nature and comfortable lifestyles of the Soul Artists of Soul Sanctum and instead spends his time traveling the frontier, bringing the light of hope to people in danger everywhere he goes.

Let's plot out some threads with him.

[Even after Jiyu's joined the team, even after he had more than proven himself, Reva finds herself discontent. It's not distrust, exactly- She is certain, by this point, he's a trustworthy ally. She would feel safe with her back to him in battle. It's more of an unease.

Jiyu doesn't show what he's feeling easily. Neither does Reva, of course, but Reva likes being able to read the feelings and moods of others easily. She's uneasy when she can't tell what's going through someone's head.

A defense mechanism, she supposes, she must have picked up while trying to find every detail of who thinks she's an abomination and who doesn't care. But this makes her uneasy with Jiyu, whose lack of expression rivals her own. She needs to study him more.

Which means getting closer. If his face doesn't show his emotions, maybe his body language will. If that doesn't, maybe she can catch him off-guard. See some emotion. She won't be able to feel calm until she gets a better understanding of what makes Jiyu tick.

Which is why she's approaching him one quiet evening.]


Spar with me.

[It's more of a command than a request.]
