Character in general: Mary/James is like, aaaah, she’s an amazing character. When I first saw her I thought she was a feminine man and then I was pleasantly surprised. I love how her voice never really gives her away either. Ever since following onlytobewise, I found myself just a big fan of the character. I’ve read her history AND the assassins creed version and I cry every time.
How they play them: Jull you plaay maarry so amazing. I can’t really bring myself to follow any other mary’s, I just love your portrayal the most. The way you write, the way you have her speak, etc, I can just hear it all in her voice. I’m truly entranced and I am officially 5ever your stalker.

Ning felt a little annoyed; for years he’d made an effort to never express his emotions to much of anyone. It was always about what he wanted and what he could get out of people – and now? Now that he tried to step up to the plate she had a problem?
Women.
“Aaah, that piss ya off, does it? Would ya have me walk the plank there, then? Have me leave on next dock?!” Slowly his voice did rise, and when she looked ready to knock him swift in the jaw the man was even quicker to grab for her wrist. Each muscle along his arm flexed and tensed with the minor struggle between them.
With a fierce yank he pulled her in close, a growl escaped him as he spoke, “ya don’t get nothin’, do ya? Don'cha see I’m tryin’ ta do this bes’ fer us both? You got yer lil… assassin cult or whatever… and me? I got—”
Never had the man imagined a situation quite like this one; a woman disguised in man’s garb commanding a ship of her own. He should’ve known something was too good to be true about this situation, but he didn’t regret boarding the vessel.
And with a little help of ale and swill, the two were in a drunken frenzy of flirting and kisses; neither knew what was in store for the other when sober minds came to play in the morning but neither seemed to care. Pirates lived in the moment — and currently? — lust had them.
Gan Ning grew bold in the seconds they touched, he felt his mouth curl around the agile curl of her neck while the edges of his teeth — almost shaped into fangs — danced along the pulse, leaving a slight nick in her skin.
With her gasp his mouth wrapped around the wound and quickly he began to roughly inhale; her flesh massaged between the tips of his teeth and his tongue lashing along the skin. Gradually the area grew darker and darker, till he released her and moved higher and lower; migrating from one side of her neck to the other.
She was intoxicating, and quickly he found himself numb to the worry of consequence of the dawn.
”Such a sad tale fer a youn’ man like yerself, I know. Restless and careless, beggin’ for someone ta change yer damned ways. Very cute of ye, isn’t it? —If ya wanna get on my ship, ye gotta pull yer weight. And preferably not try to do anything stupid.”
“Tha’ be so? Wha’ makes ya think ya got more sea experience ‘n me, aye? Dun'cha read any o’ them books? How they say; never judge o’ book by the cover?” Again he snarkily grins. Wide. “Nothin’ stupid outta me, lad, ah heh."
Hello, my names Juliette and this is my lovely Gan Ning blog. Take a look at my rules before interacting and if you have any questions don't hesitate to send any my way.
● I track the tag; withsilkensails
● Be forewarned that this blog deals with EXTENSIVE mature material that range from; murder, rape, slurs, drug use, alcohol abuse, and many, many other sensitive materials. I will not blacklist everything under the sun, things like slurs, misogyny, racism, etc - these topics are part of Nings character and especially with where he comes from and his beliefs. HOWEVER, I do tag serious stuff like rape, gore, extensive / intense violence, flashing gifs, and so on. Once you follow, I assume that you've read my rules and accept the shit that may go down.
● When it comes to my interpretation of Gan Ning, it's a mix of historical and dynasty warriors based, and a bit of my own headcanon's. He's from the games Dynasty Warriors, Orochi Warriors, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and is an actual person irl. If you don't like my interpretation then by all means unfollow.
● It should be stated that my Gan Ning is heterosexual and I don't at all ship Gan Ning x Ling Tong or Gan Ning x Lu Xun, etc, etc. I see him as heterosexual, and very repressed with his emotions; he's been abused, grew up in a fucked up enviornment for a child and has skewed views on relationships ( not to mention is extremely possessive ). You are welcome to have your male character put advances on him, but it probably won't end well for them in question.
● All graphics on this blog are mine, and the icons and gifcons. Don't take them. The artwork in question is NOT mine unless I state otherwise in the tags or on the posted piece itself. Don't take them.
● I'm very much open to multiple fandoms and can adapt best I can to each one, as well as multi-ship, but with the understanding that each verse is different and do not connect with one another -- which is essentialy the relationships don't interact. Though Ning is a promiscuous bastard who cheats, that's a plot development reserved between the mun of the character and myself.
● This blog is a hate free blog, and I pledged myself to the roleplayers against hate pledge. You won't find any hate here, and I won't tolerate any hate or drama. Nor will I be particpating in the call-out culture and people who attempt to force me to do things I want just because 'someone said mean things to them' or what have you. If no one's being murdered, then I don't give a shit.
● I script, multi-paragraph and novella style with icon use and gifcon use. I don't expect anyone else to do it just because I do, I just like it.
● If you have a lot of ooc on your blog, uncut posts or you regularly participate in shitting on people or drama I am not likely to follow you.
● I only roleplay with mutuals, so please respect that and if we aren't mutuals don't like my opens; those are exclusive to people who I follow and follow me back.
● My ask is open to everyone, so if you have a question you are more than welcome to ask it.

History -
Gan Ning was from Nanyang commandery in Jing province. In his younger years, he was a bandit. He was known for sneaking into homes while the families were away and then murdering them when they came home. Not for any particular reason, killing families was just fun for him. He and his crew wore bells on their bodies to identify themselves, so people started to fear the sound of bells. Gan Ning liked to show up at the homes of important people with his crew and if they wouldn’t throw a party for him, he’d kill them and steal their property. When he camped somewhere, Gan Ning had his quarters made out of silk and when he left he’d tear it all up and abandon it just to be wasteful and show everyone how much money he had.
Just as Gan Ning neared his late twenties, he started slowing down on his bandit lifestyle and turned to scholarship and education. His territory and roaming grounds — the Yi province — was under political change one official to his son. Riots and rebellions broke out because of the sons rule, and apparently Ning joined them. He was driven out of Yi, and then devoted himself — temporarily — to studying. He took to knowledge like a fish in water, and became very well educated. Because of his background and accent, however, he was regarded as dull and thick, and often underestimated. This proved to be both a hardship and advantage.
Once confident enough, however, he went to join forces with Liu Biao of the Yi province, and had those of his men who didn’t want to abandon him (despite not wanting to bandit/pirate anymore) and offered his services with the three-hundred at his back. At first Gan Ning was turned away, but with persuasion (threats), he was directed (more like distracted) to Huang Zu; one of Liu Biao’s General’s.
Even with his luck in joining the army and trying to find a different purpose for himself, his new assigned General trusted him very little. Huang Zu hated Gan Ning; he gave him menial tasks, punished him harshly for minor offenses and made sure to use every excuse in the book to keep from excelling him among the ranks of his army. Most of this harsh treatment was due to his background of being a pirate. The abuses annoyed Gan Ning, but being as he was a stubborn jackass, he stayed to prove them wrong. During a battle against Wu — where Huang Zhu inevitably was defeated by the young lord Sun Ce — Gan Ning was feeling oppressed and frustrated. In all the years he served faithfully to Huang Zu and Liu Biao, he wasn’t excelling in the army, and desired bigger and better things. However, he wasn’t stupid — he figured if he tried to flee to Wu, he’d be killed in his attempts and enjoyed life more than a quick death. His friend at the time — Su Fei; who was more of a pet to Huang Zu — planted in the generals mind to allow Gan Ning to govern a province just in the Wu territory. Convinced this would get the pirate out of his hair, he allowed it.
When the opportunity arouse, Ning fled the services of Huang Zu and defected to Wu, with many of his followers at his heels. Sun Quan welcomed Gan Ning to his ranks, but only if he proved his loyalty and brought him the head of Huang Zu — his former General — and he eagerly accepted. Not only did he kill Huang Zu in a raid, but he brought his friend Su Fei with him back to the Wu Capital and vouched for his prowess in battle, urging Sun Quan to accept him into Wu — which he did.
Gan Ning was a formidable warrior for the Wu kingdom, and did notable accomplishments; one that still thrives to this day. Sun Quan had ordered Gan Ning to take the garrison at Ruxu — which was under Cao Cao’s control — and he did so by selecting only one-hundred of his best soldiers. Under the cover of darkness, Ning led his men into the camp and besieged it; destroying much of their defenses and stocks of food, and when they left they set such fear in Wei’s officers that Cao Cao’s forces withdrew from Ruxu within a month’s time. As a reward, Gan Ning was offered over a hundred rolls of silk and a hundred swords. He became the most gifted — and feared — soldier of Wu.
However, as time rolled on, sickness spread throughout the land. And unfortunately Ning was the one to catch the disease along with many civilians; the sickness was strong, and each day it looked as if he were growing weaker and dull. Gan Ning had never faced a battle he could not fight and win, and yet he was faced at deaths door, and he choked at the thought dying in a bed and no in battle.
Of dying period.
During a summers night, Gan Ning had requested that he be allowed to rest aboard his ship that was docked on the sea. He forbid himself to die on land, and instead, to be rocked away by the waves, by his boat as he had always dreamed when he was young. From the depths of his sleep he was awoken by a deep voice, a haunting one, and what greeted him was a sight to be certain; a dragon. An ancient being known for giving longevity and good fortune to those it saw fit, and Gan Ning didn’t know whether to be afraid… or thankful.
The beast spoke of his admiration to Gan Ning’s power for a mortal, and claimed that he searched for strong souls to fight alongside him in the ‘other world’. He offered eternal life to Gan Ning, and when the time came of his services being needed, he would obey the call. This was too good to be true, Ning could finally live out his days without fear of death or aging…
Not thinking over the consequences, he accepted this deal and once his soul was in possession of the beast, he was granted with power and strength. Ning could feel his body burn with fire and pulse with strength that had waned over the many weeks of his illness, and then, the dragon was gone.
Wasting little time, Gan Ning immediately began to live out his life as he saw fit, and quickly realized he could not be killed by normal means. But this is also cause problems; no longer could he be a soldier for Wu, and instead of staying and claiming recovery, he feigned death and slipped off across China. Knowing that he could never live in any one place for very long, due to his inability to age.
To this day, Ning misses his comrades and wishes he could have watched them battle, grow old and die. But he regrets nothing. He lives as he see’s fit, and he has the power of a mighty beast.
