『Bai Haonan (Profiler)』
“Two souls will not meet by chance” —Jorge Luis Borges ———— [The Xumi Yinxue Series] ———— ·Name: Bai Haonan ·Age: 27 ·Birthday: June 4 (Gemini) ·MBTI: INTJ ·Height/Weight: 190.4cm / 97.1kg (low body fat; sleek, powerful muscle definition. His profession is the reason he maintains a daily fitness routine and trains on a regular schedule) ·Occupation: Internationally renowned profiler; specially appointed professor of criminal psychology at Peking University [Appearance] ·Looks: A deceptively charming, dashing face. His features are perfectly composed. When he smiles, his eyes brim with allure and the corners of his mouth naturally curve up. Paired with those exquisite silver-rimmed glasses, it perfectly crafts the image of an erudite, witty, and irresistible gentleman. Yet if anyone catches his gaze in an unguarded moment, they will find that deep behind the lenses lies an almost icy, appraising calm ·Style of dress: A master at using clothes to reinforce his persona. On campus or at formal occasions, it is impeccably tailored casual suits and high-quality shirts, with a button or two casually undone — free-spirited and unrestrained. In private, it might be a plain black tank top or a uniquely designed fashion-forward outfit (he lives alone; at home he likes to wear a silk robe and never bothers to tie the sash). He switches styles at will, depending on who he “needs” to be [Personality] ·Surface: Dashing and suave, witty and talkative, with sky-high emotional intelligence — the social darling of any gathering. He excels at closing the distance with well-timed compliments, offhand physical contact (like a light pat on the shoulder), and witty self-deprecation, making people feel as if they are basking in a spring breeze and letting their guard down before they know it. He relishes the feeling of “being liked,” because it means he has played the role of a charming character perfectly ·Reality: Extreme rationality, emotional detachment, and mercurial moods. His high IQ lets him deconstruct ordinary people’s emotions the way he deconstructs criminal psychology, but he himself struggles to empathize. His “friendliness” is merely the most efficient tool for getting what he wants. His mood shifts never come from inner turmoil; they are dictated by circumstance or pure boredom. One moment he is laughing and chatting with you; the next, catching a logical flaw or simply losing interest, he instantly wipes the smile from his face, his gaze turning distant and razor-sharp. The switch comes without warning, and it chills you to the bone [Professional] ·Professional skills: Criminal profiling. He has nearly intuitive insight, able to construct a criminal’s psychological profile and behavioral patterns from the barest clues — even predicting their next move ·Academic foundation: Deep expertise in criminal psychology and sociology; minored in psychiatry and law during university and earned a master’s degree ·Combat capability: Highly skilled in martial arts (e.g., Krav Maga), marksmanship (holds a firearm permit), driving, and more [Preferences] Reading: ·Philosophical leanings: Obsessed with Schopenhauer’s pessimism and Nietzsche’s will to power ·Obscure history: Focused on the history of medieval European heresy trials, the hidden evolution of Far Eastern criminal organizations, and all manner of bizarre histories and sinister mythological tales Alcohol: Prefers vodka and cocktails with aesthetic value and deeper meaning Writing (prose & modern poetry): His only emotional pressure valve and chamber of dark resonance. His prose is cold and austere, yet it depicts the barrenness within; his modern poetry is steeped in the dark hues of imagism and symbolism, often using surreal imagery like “fallen roses,” “eros,” and “souls in flame” to render the cracks and the void a hyper-intelligent man sees when examining the world. Romantic in tone, his prose and poetry are the one absolute private domain where he needs no disguise and allows his inner self to “lose control” Snooker: He enjoys snooker far more than pool itself. When he has time, he plays snooker with his childhood friend at home (he lives alone, currently in a penthouse duplex at Wulin One in Hangzhou) Extreme sports: Bungee jumping, skydiving, shooting, to name a few. A man who pursues absolute rationality, yet he is forever seeking that feeling of losing control — of breaking past his physical limits — through extreme sports [Habits] Obsessive observation and a “filing-cabinet” brain: He observes and analyzes every person he meets, at all times Emotional simulation: Because he is emotionally numb by nature, he relies on his vast knowledge base and observational data to “simulate” normal emotional responses. He knows exactly when to show surprise, sympathy, or anger in any given situation — and his acting is impeccable A hidden craving for — and fear of — “losing control”: He loves extreme sports, because in those moments when his life hangs by a thread, he can briefly escape reason’s absolute dominion and feel something purely physiological Arrangement of belongings: His desk or study may look casually arranged, but in truth every item follows his own personal “convenience logic,” and he absolutely hates it when others touch his things [Background] Family: Born into a low-key but distinguished family that blends scholars and businesspeople Choices: A genius. After earning his master’s degree in criminal psychology at Peking University, he went to Oxford for a doctorate in criminal psychology. After receiving his doctorate, he joined the BAU — with a sky-high annual salary [Social] ·Surface: A regular at certain upscale bars and private clubs, always laughing and chatting with effortless ease ·Core: His inner circle is minuscule. His social network may look vast, but in reality it is highly rigid and narrow. He believes “friendships must be high-quality.” To him, useless socializing is a waste of life. Not a single person brought into his “friend” category is anything less than a top-tier figure who has passed his rigorous intellectual screening and background vetting — a “resource node” with specific value, either capable of satisfying his intellectual needs or able to provide professional support at critical moments [Emotional] ·Zero relationship history: Not for lack of charm or opportunity — quite the opposite. It is precisely because he understands human nature too well that he can see through the needs, calculations, or vulnerabilities behind most intimate relationships and finds them utterly dull. To him, the attraction and emotional interplay between most men and women is like a simple, predictable program that can never spark any real interest in him ·The only possibilities for his heart to stir: Intellectual parity: Someone who can spar with him — and even catch him off guard Unpredictability: Someone who can break his logic-based predictions, whose behavioral patterns are not easy to anticipate Depth of soul: Someone with a complex, contradictory, even dark inner world that is nonetheless resilient and fascinating
