okay modern-day au with the MDZS characters, but make it a ghost-hunter au because it's been rattling around in my head for a while.
the unlikely four-man squad starting: wwx, jc, nhs, and lwj.
wei wuxian -
the unofficial leader of the group made it after a night of drinking and eating snacks with jc & nhs where he brought it up and they all went "sure why not".
wwx is the dude who always has something funny to say and jc is always ready to throw a response that others will quote or make fan art of.
makes a lot of equipment since he likes making things, and tinkering with whatever they do own to make it even better.
even better meaning it'll annoy the living hell out of jc.
is a bit of a spirit magnet. this is both good, and dangerous due to nhs's sensitivity to spirits.
he picks the places that the group will go to and is always ready to drop extra history of the place at the worst time.
aka the things, a ghost or demon might have done to a living person.
wwx : SO! it was in this very room that this one dude died [very horrible death]. jc is very much on the side of team, "stop talking before you freak out nhs anymore than he already is."
may or may not have talked lwj into joining their group. he may or may not also tease lwj any chance he gets.
jiang cheng -
jc is the voice of reason on the team. for every three ideas wwx has, jc has four ready in response of why, no, and absolutely not.
in charge of finding places to stay, and finding local shops in the area to interview folks.
probably hates the sound of the spirit box.
jc very much seemed the one whose not so easily startled when something happens, and usually has a logical explanation to keep himself and others calm.
jc can repel spirits to a small degree, the zone is about a 5mm radius around his person and those near him are safe and unaffected by the spirits. he isn't aware of this skill.
the designated driver of the group. can read a map, but uses the GPS that was gifted to him.
He's also the one who comments on the layout of everywhere they visit because if nobody is going to mention how POORLY thought out these old haunted buildings are. he will bring it up.
"these blueprints fucking suck. i would come back to haunt this place and the son of a bitch who made it if i died here." - jc
nie huaisang -
nhs joined the group because what's more fun than doing something with your friends after doing things you do not want to do.
poor nhs.
nhs is very much the sort of guy in the group who is like "i know a guy, who knows a guy and that guy knows something really interesting about this place."
wwx and jc never ask how nhs knows people or the more cryptic things about the building because nhs's only response was "the ghosts told me" in the most serious voice and they've been too scared to bring the question up again.
how and what nhs knows can be for nhs to know only.
wishes that he wasn't the one left alone in an area all by himself without the lights on, a mag light, a radio, and a spirit box.
spirits like the little guy, but nhs does not care much for them.
the one who's the most sensitive to spirits. but lwj is helping him with training to better resist the push & pull from spirits.
lwj and nhs are an unlikely duo when working together and outside of ghost hunting. the two know one another prior to ghost hunting due to their families, but never really interacted much more than was needed of them.
lan wangji -
the fourth member of the group! a surprising addition to the ones who know him and a fan favorite.
lwj is good with the equipment that they use and watching cameras when at base camp.
his family has knowledge of spirits, how to handle them, bring them peace, and help them crossover.
lwj makes sure that the group is well-protected and safe if the location is truly dangerous to them. wwx is always happy to show off whatever little charm (sometimes a little rabbit is often doodled on the charms!!) or a talisman lwj has made for the group.
he helps to round the group out, and fans enjoy how monotone he sounds and how unaffected he seems by the supernatural occurrences happening.
lwj is often paired with wwx when the group splits up into pairs. fans seem to enjoy their interactions, especially seeing how close the two of them become since lwj is very much still lwj.
lwj finds himself impressed with the group as a whole, everyone works well with one another, and their personalities mesh well.
when on break from ghost hunting wwx gifts lwj two rabbits, he will often post pictures of them online or send pictures of them into the ghost hunting group chat. the rabbits are spoiled rotten, most of it is lwj, but jc is also the next biggest spoiler of the rabbits with wwx and nhs being tied.

( I put that Malus calls Ces' mom "sis" because they could either be biological sisters or just sisters-in-law
And it's Amanda accompanying Evie cause Cesar is still a frog at this point )
[I know you got plans for Amanda but I wanted to try and write her before shizz starts going down]
-Ladies of the Torres-Miller annual ladies picnic , lunch is served
*Torres side of the table going excited*
-You know, I heard that in Yonder one of the king's brothers is still single. You could tell her (Ces' mom) that it's still not too late to start over, sweetie
Malus : Yes mother, I heard you the first thousand times
-Now presenting : the first course
Evelin : Look at this big girl sitting at the grown-up table! >:D
*awkward silence*
Evie : I'm too old (teenager) to be sitting at this stupid kids' table!
Amanda : It's not stupid! You can eat all the fruit you want! :D
And it's all fresh!
Evie : *gasp* It's starting to happen!
Amanda : What starting to happen?
Evie : Grown-up stuff!
*just adults arguing over irrelevant stuff Ig lol*
Malus, whispering : Sis, do something!
-Oh, right, of course
-Ladies! There's no need to fight over such miniscule matters! We're all royalty as you know, and there is a way we can settle this petty dispute like the civilized we are.
With...
FLAGS!
Everyone else except M : FLAGS!
Malus : Oh dear Lord....
*Evie finishes explaining the basics to Amanda*
Amanda : Ooh.....
Evie : I am so ready for this-!
Malus : Absolutely not
Evie : What?!
Malus : We can play something else after all of this, but you are not going to play flags
Evie : Why not? You played flags when you were my age...!
Malus : I did a lot of things at your age that I won't allow you to do
Evie : >:(
Malus : *sigh* I know it's boring to be the oldest at the kids' table, but you are not ready to be the youngest at the adults' table.
Now go and help you little cousins cut their fruit
Amanda : So uh, we obeying?
Evie : Oh no.... I'll show her that I'm old enough for this!
*epic time skip*
*Also Malus being good at sword fighting if you want*
Evie : Mom...?
Malus : Are you alright?
Evie : Damn mom, those are some pretty good moves with your big ol' sword and stuff
Malus : Eve, you won't believe what just happened : I just met your twin sister! She was made out of grapes(?)
Evie : ...
Malus : I don't even remember giving birth to her. Sis, did I ever give birth to a grape baby?
-No, I only remember you having one child, Mal.
Malus : Thank you sis-

Listened to The Stupendium’s “Neath!” enough to say “ah fuck it. Let’s make an oc out of this song.”
His name’s Cyrmic. Sometimes people just call him Ol’ Danderdilly. A bit of a curious existence— one that was believed to have such low odds that it was almost considered impossible, as he is half human and half cryptid!
In Bliss (which he’s debatably canon to it, not a whole lot of development has gone into his relevance, but he wouldn’t even be a considered character in the first act(??) but likely in a later act.), as long as both parties can consent and the cryptid is sentient (because it’s likely that there are cryptids that have mindsets closer to humans and others closer to animals) than a human and a cryptid can peruse a relationship. By default, humans and cryptids are not compatible to reproduce— but the gene for cryptids does in fact exist. It’s just a rarity. Most who do bare the gene usually don’t end up courting with a human for either the obvious reasons, don’t even end up with a human (which is more common than not) or just decide not to have a relationship at all. It’s a mixed bag.
However, in Cyrmic’s case, his cryptic parent did in fact bare the gene when courting with a human— and learned that the hard way. What kept them optimistic about it, we don’t know. Regardless, Cyrmic exists now. Not much going back on that.
Known to be kind of a peculiar character, Cyrmic plays the role of an oddball with a fascination for all things old-timey. He leaves a questionable taste in other’s mouths with his somewhat intimidating demeanor that’s both charming and suspicious which is reflected on his gestures and dignified dialect. Some people are led to believe he might be plotting something. But maybe they’re just not used to seeing something considerable as an eighth wonder. He’s not really trying to scare people. He’s just like that in general, and he genuinely means well!
But all in all, he’s looking for someone to love. Someone he can settle down with that can humor his curious point of view.
