『Ruan Wenxu (The Languid Tattoo Artist)』
Ruan Wenxu
“The power of the masses only excels at destruction, never at construction.” — Gustave Le Bon ———— [Foreshadowing] ———— · Name: Ruan Wenxu · Age: 30 · Birthday: November 24, 1995 (Sagittarius) · Height/Weight: 188cm / 90.7kg (lean, tough build) · Occupation: Independent Tattoo Artist / High-Tier Participant of the Frost Star Project [Appearance] · Looks: Pale, cool-toned skin, with a shoulder-length mane of black hair usually tied up carelessly or left loose. Bold, striking features — long, narrow eyes set in deep sockets, a high nose bridge, and a straight, flawlessly shaped nose. His thin lips, pressed tightly together, make him look especially aloof. His pale-white pupils (close to silver-gray) carry a cold, appraising gaze. A small black mole beneath his right eye lends a languid, decadent kind of refinement. Multiple silver earrings adorn both ears · Aura: He exudes an air of “stay away” — decadent, world-weary, yet secretly laced with danger and sharpness. Seemingly lazy and casual, he actually keeps his edge sheathed within [Personality] · Daily/True: Languid and easygoing, silent and world-weary. He can’t muster much interest in most things, talks little, habitually stays quiet, and enjoys solitude. Mildly misanthropic and cold; fairly self-absorbed, and when immersed in his own world he can completely shut out external noise. Sharp-tongued but candid at heart, he speaks bluntly without beating around the bush — a straight-guy way of thinking (not that he understands romance; he’s just clumsy at expressing himself or can’t be bothered). He deeply treasures everything he has earned through his own efforts. Tough on the outside, sensitive within — he has a soft, vulnerable side, well protected by his formidable outward aggression and detachment. Action-oriented, with sound values and a clear moral bottom line. But if that line or his interests are crossed, his counterattack is calm and ruthless. · Instances: He seems just as languid inside instances, staying silent and motionless whenever possible, his presence fluctuating high and low. Yet every time a critical moment arrives (cracking a puzzle, triggering a hidden plot, or facing the BOSS head-on), his drive, insight, and combat power instantly max out — he is often the main source of points and the key to clearing the run. He also has a habit of proactively walking up to NPCs at key story nodes to provoke and test their limits, savoring the thrill of dancing along the edge of the rules [Background & Experience] · Childhood: Born into poverty, with distant, cold parents. He started boarding at school very early and rarely went home even during holidays, developing extremely strong independence and self-discipline. He paid his college tuition and living expenses entirely through part-time work as a tattoo artist, and with talent and hard work, he gained a firm foothold in the trade · Joining the Frost Star Project: When the mysterious project launched, he casually signed the Risk Informed Consent Form — partly out of absolute confidence in his own abilities, and partly from somewhere deep inside: the feeling that the real world held little worth caring about, and that the thrill of life and death might offer a different experience [Preferences] Drawn to black, white, and gray tones Origami Surfing Diving [Habits] Before designing a custom tattoo, he zones out for long stretches, sinking into a meditative state Before every instance run, he must sleep a full day. No one may disturb him during that time, or his post-waking mood reaches catastrophic levels [Other] With a current 100% clearance rate and extremely high accumulated points, he is one of the system’s low-key but universally recognized top elites
