Yang Xiao Long | RWBY (re-app)
CHARACTER: Yang Xiao Long
CANON: RWBY
AU NAME: Jinjing Sawyl Longwei / "Yin"
AU AGE: 21 (going on 22 in July)
AU OCCUPATION: musician, janitor, jerk (though she doesn't get paid for that it is its own reward)
BLURB:
-grew up here, had a good home life with her dad and little sister (don't bring up her moms, that's the exception)
-was good with people, played the drums, did some martial arts
-life went straight to shit when she lost her arm in a motorcycle accident
-dropped out of high school, never went to college, never wore a prosthetic arm
-little sister got into college early and moved out
-dad is always traveling with his jobs to make enough money to send home and keep the house
-Yin lives in her makeshit recording studio basement and the couch more than her room
-usually heavily medicated in one way or another
-is a walking shitpost wrapped in cynicism and egomania, floating in a sea of poor coping mechanisms
-plays at local music fests, bars, anywhere someone needs a half a drummer
-also uploads cover videos and tracks online but doesn't actively build a following
-loves to tease people, talk trash, say that she doesn't care about herself or the world, but will ride-or-die for her friends and protect others from bullies because deep down she is a softy who just wants validation and affection please love her and don't leave
-yes the tattoos are real and yes they are practically everywhere
You can also read up on her in detail on her original app.
LOOKING FOR: reconnect with past CR, get some new people in her messy life, maybe someone who is patient enough to help straighten her out, fellow musicians, internet friends who can be disappointed at the Real Yin, one-night stands, ex-s, etc.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For those who understand the context, or have known her before, Yin will "wake up" back in the same situation she was in before more or less, but as a re-app she retains her regaining memories but no possessions. This means no swag robot arm and no dog. I don't have to tell you how Rough this is going to make her until the first set of regains come around, so I get if anyone wants to avoid her and her poor attitude and coping mechanisms for a while. Just please know she'll get better but it will take her a bit to adapt to having those important things taken away from her.

I haven't picked up RWBY since book one and I feel like I've missed a lot hereI feel like statistically speaking, Sara's been in town a year, so she has to have been kicked out of a bar Yin was playing at least once. There are probably other CR opportunities to be had, too, but that depends on where she works as a janitor, and what kind of poor coping mechanisms we're talking about.

an unfortunate amount, yes, sob. I apologize for all the horrible spoilers she'll be regaining including Volume 5Yin alternates working at a movie theater, a pizza place, and a burger joint. But because of her "accessibility problems" she only gets opening or closing shifts involving cleaning and zero customer interaction (though that's more a personality issue than anything). She'll be moving into a bouncer job once she gets her robot arm back in a month or so, though, so there's that.
As for coping mechanisms. Well. Yin's mindset is that if she hasn't tried it (or them) before, and it's not hard drugs, it's worth doing at least once. Twice if it was fun.
