This sense of detachment had existed since childhood and as she grew older, she fully distanced herself from others, assigning herself as a humble witness to their plays. This lack of belonging led to her pursuing various stories to see whether they were true or not, and one such story was of a shop that could grant wishes.    Upon finding it, she wished to know where it was that she belonged, only to hear that her parents were possibly still alive, conducting business in the Ghost Realm, a separate plane of existence overlaying the Mortal Realm, where ghosts, monsters, and other terrible things reside. Consequently, she asked to be sent there.    Arriving in the Ghost Realm she quickly discovered that all manner of beings around her saw her as one of them, despite still being alive and very much human. Despite this, she struggled to get by, never encountering a hint of her parents again, and with no knowledge or desire to return home.   She went from surviving to thriving upon meeting with a swordbreaker ghost, who recognized her as part of her parents' lineage and has thus taken her under its wing, where she proved to be an apt study.   After transitioning from a brothel to the Ghost Realm, the Crossroads will be quite the relief.

While she does not consciously avoid human interaction, she is so used to being disregarded that she usually does not take initiative to talk to others. Despite this distance, she is a good conversationalist due to her work, and is good at figuring out a client's wants so that she may provide better service.    This distance also means that no matter what she witnesses, she is able to take it calmly and proceed carefully.

AbilityJian: 1Er'Ziu

LoremAccompanying ipsumVivian doloris sita amet,jian, consectetura adipiscingweapon elit,made sedto break enemy blades. The "blade" part is a four-cornered steel rod with a pointed end that acts as an effective blunt weapon; if necessary, it can be flipped around to use the handle as a heavier club. Affectionately referred to as Er'Ziu, it/he has taken Vivian as a protege, and when situations arise that violence is necessary, will take control of her body, relishing in the feeling of a fight. His own personality is a fair bit more vicious than hers, and believes that there is no such thing as overkill, but will honor an enemy's surrender. Er'Ziu is a seasoned warrior who can use even Vivian's body to wield any of eighteen traditional Chinese weapons, ranging from the dao to spear.

 Vivian, being a normal person, only carries him and and a hand axe on her person. She also camouflages Er'Ziu by walking with him as a cane, allowing him an element of surprise.

A cord is wrapped around the handle and Vivian's wrist to secure their connection, but control of the body is relinquished if they were to lose contact. He can also only use her body for brief periods of time, since her stamina is average at best.

Occasionally he is allowed possession to sample good alcohol and tea.

Self-Defense & Taoist Arts

Vivian has been trained in basic self-defense techniques, and has a hand axe on her person to act as a backup weapon or if the situation calls for it. She has also learned various in Taoist practices for repelling ghosts and monsters, and is capable of warding areas to be unnoticed by those she does not want to see and protecting herself from a few instances of mortal harm. She is also capable of using talismans to attract ghosts, create small explosions, put mortals to sleep, and may ask for advice on new talismans from Er'Ziu.

Ghost Communication

For some reason or another, ghosts and the undead perceive Vivian as one of their own. She is able to clearly communicate with them with ease, and can even enlist their help if they are willing. However, this does mean that hungry ghosts that prey on weaker ones may try to consume her, which is when the Taoist arts come in handy. It is entirely possible for her to ask them to target a person, with effects ranging from horrible nightmares to an overwhelming sense of dread to feeling like their every movement is weighed by lead or trauma.

Spectral State

Her time in the Ghost Realm has not been kind to her. Roughly 40% of Vivian's body is intangible at any given time, but is concealed by clothing. While this would have more negative impact if she was still a sex worker, Vivian is mostly unbothered by this. If she concentrates, she can focus her condition to a single part of her body, and by controlling the location and intervals, this allows her to pass through physical obstacles. However, the concentration and focus required means that she cannot do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
