abilities

By virtue of being humanoid, Bai does, indeed, hold the common form that humans do- however, his genetics as a Gengar gijinka grant him varied forms of abilities to use at his own disposal and will, though not without various costs and whatnot upon use. While his own gijinka features aren't the most noticeable upon first glance, one would be able to see the standard and pointed Gengar ears atop his head in addition to the normal humanoid ones; something that admittedly did throw him off while he was younger due to the dual nature and capability as far as his auditory senses went, but also something that he grew accustomed to as time went on; eventually driving him to become hypersensitive and keen on his sense of hearing. In addition to the Gengar ears atop his head, he also has a stubby little tail to match the type that his reflected Pokemon has, as well. His connection to the literal shadow Pokemon is more than capable of amplifying what stealth skills he's already trained himself to accumulate, as well as to retain several other qualities befitting of a Gengar.[break][break]

For starters, the first and primary ability that he seems to have been granted by the aforementioned creature is the ability to meld into and travel through shadows at will- given that he's touching a given shadow by stepping on it,
touching it with his hands, or making contact with it in other manners to begin with. Should he be touching a shadow at any time, he retains the capability of melding into it and transporting himself away- and if one shadow should be connected to another to create an elongated form of shade from the placement of several objects within the general vicinity, then he can use them as a 'path' of sorts in order to trek from one location to the other. In the event that shadows are separated but are still within a few inches of one another, then he would be capable of traversing the gap, as well- but in that case, there would be sight of a small, shadowy stream - him in shadow form - seen springing from one shadow to the other. Although it grants him an extra field to travel across - a type that could easily save him from trouble and transport him to locations much quicker and difficult to access on a normal basis with the proper and appropriate object positioning - he can still only move as quickly as he could run at his own,
maximum speed- and with higher speed and longer distances comes a decreased amount of stamina. Travelling this way works the same way as he would physically sprinting or even walking; the longer he travels and the faster he does so,
the more his stamina decreases. When he wears himself down enough, he'll simply get forced out of the shadow that he occupies unless he forces himself to push past his limits, but if he does that, then he'll suffer from physical pains following the occasion. Dispersing the shadow by use of light or other things would also force him out, as well.[break][break]

In addition to his shadow oriented traveling capabilities, Bai is also able to resist poisons and toxins to some extent; something that he has the Gengar's poison type to thank for in the long run. As a result of the shadow Pokemon's dual type nature, he can withstand toxins in varied forms; be it by injection, consumption, or other things of the sort. This by no means makes him immune to any and all poisons that he may be unfortunate to come across,
however; merely that the effects that others would receive as a result of them would more or less be lessened with him. Minor poisons that would cause nothing more than an ill feeling or a faint degree of pain and nausea would likely render him unaffected. Moderate poisons would end up ailing him a small but noticeable degree, and heavier poisons would likely still affect him a reasonable amount. This resistance is only a cushioning, and won't quite help against stronger and more lethal poisons that he happens to come into contact with, so in the event that he happens to touch or consume some type of acid or poison, it'll still throw him off and lower his health if it's strong enough.[break][break]

In addition to those prior two abilities, Bai has two more minor ones that aren't groundbreaking by any means; just things that are more or less obscure but somewhat nifty in select scenarios. The first between these two would be his ability to absorb heat to some extent. Much like any other Gengar, Bai Hu seems to be a minor heat magnet; capable of absorbing the heat within the air close to him into his own form to warm himself up. This is something that he tends to do on warmer days for sake of maintaining his own body heat, but even though it wears himself out even more,
he has been known to do the same thing on warmer days for sake of making his fellow peers more comfortable within the sun, or perhaps even a stuffier and heated room.[break][break]

The final ability that he maintains is very much similar to hypnosis. While very similar to the Pokemon move itself,
Bai's particular hypnosis is vaguely different by sole virtue of him being able to use it through means of his voice, in addition to his gaze. Depending on the person's willpower, as well as the intensity that he uses this particular ability at, he may be capable of using this power of his to calm another down, or to temporarily imbue varied thoughts within their head. In the case of some, more weaker willed or easily susceptible individuals (read:
if I get permission from the other character's player), he would also be able to briefly control and direct a person to do specific actions and whatnot for a shorter span of time. Although rather useful for the most part, use of this ability tends to be somewhat of a gamble due to the fact that it could easily backfire if he attempts to use it on someone who's a bit more mentally fortified and difficult to waver, and if his own hypnosis does succeed in the end,
then his own body will begin to give in with the longer he uses it, as well as how intense he is throughout its uses. Given that he's honed this power rather well throughout the years, his limits are somewhat extensive, but when they are reached, he'll begin to suffer from minor and vague headaches and whatnot that gradually grow larger and more apparent over time. If he continues using it even after that point, then the pains may translate into physical pains, as well; ranging from uncomfortable cramps throughout his muscles to legitimate pains within the same areas.[break][break]

I don't love you; I don't need you

Heyo~. So...I'm guessing that you're the guys I'm gonna be working with, then? I heard that you guys wanted a breakdown of-... Well...of me~. My roots, my background... Everything regarding the basics, and everything beyond basic, too. I'll be real, man; it ain't everyday that I come across a business partner that actually gives a damn about learning about my roots and all, but... Hey~. If that's what you wanna hear, then I guess I ain't got the slightest reason in Hell to deny ya that info, right~? After all... I've already heard a bit about you, and all.
We're both in the same business, here, so I trust that things are gonna stay confidential for the most part. 'Cause,
I mean... If they don't, then I gotta kill you for sake of safety and security and shit like that. Can't let word about me and what my family does spread around like wildfire, and all, yeah? Gotta protect the family and name and any cost, yeah? Surely you understand, there, buddy~. Heh.[break][break]

...Yeaaaah. Yeah, I jest and all, but... At the same time, I'm only a tiny bit kidding, there. Soooo...just a fair warning, and all~. Woops~.[break][break]

Anywho~... Morbid joking and subtle threats aside... It's good to formally meet you, I guess~. As you may know by now, the name's Bai. Bai Hu Wang if you wanna get down and formal - and Nick or Nicholas if you wanna use my English name, but I just feel really weird whenever someone calls me that - but Bai's just fine. If you can't exactly or easily tell, I ain't exactly from around these general parts. For the most part, I was born and raised over in Sinnoh. Snowpoint City, to be specific. My parents were from different places themselves; Mom from Johto, and Dad from Kanto. They both met while taking on the Pokemon League challenge when they were younger, and just...continued contact as they grew up and began getting involved with their own, respective companies. From business interactions came bonding, and...well, later down the line, they became a couple and eventually got married a while afterwards~.
They had my older brother - Liu Yan - about seven or so years before I was born. Then...my twin and I came along.
Shi Bo came along a few minutes before I did, so he's technically the older one between the two of us. Around the time that Shi and I were eleven years old, they had one more kid' our younger sister, Xiu Lan. All four of us were born over in Snowpoint City- so, in the long run, I guess it's no surprise that I prefer blizzards over heatstrokes.
...Heh. But...yeah. Born and raised over in Sinnoh. Parents are both business owners that formed a third daughter company, so naturally, my siblings and I were taught in business. From our childhood, we pretty much went through private tutoring on top of school. Mom and Dad let us do what we wanted as far as hobbies went, so all of us trained in various forms of martial arts. through high school and college, we played our own sports, but in turn, we also learned about the cycle of trade. We attended galas, seminars... The works, really. Everything that would've helped us to get where we are now, my siblings and I took it in order to better ourselves for our jobs as the heirs and heiress to the family company. For the most part, living by and controlling business has pretty much been our lives.[break][break]

...The surface of it, at least. 'Cause here's where things start getting a bit sketchy, ladies and gentlemen~.[break][break]

So...I'm a businessman. Same with my siblings, parents... Even my aunts and uncles, and a few of my others cousins,
too. our surface identities are the faces of our company; the same company known by the name of the very same Mystic Corporation as a tribute to its starters' children, and the same ...Also the same company that maintains hold and productions over technological goods for the most part. Phones, tablets... Even computers and whatnot. You need it? We got it. That's who we are to everyone else, but there's plenty more to us than meets the eye, 'cause see, here... My parents were and still are one other thing aside from business people and both former and present day trainers. Back in the day,they joined the same group that my siblings - aside from my sister, since she just wanted to live a normal life - and I ended up joining later down the line, too. ...A gang, if you will. Don't get me wrong; we're still generally good people for the most part. ...Unless you push our buttons in the wrong way, but...yeah. You may or may not have heard of the group around the shadier and more infamous parts of the place, but in any case, that same group goes by the name of the Gémìng, or...in other words, the Revolution. It was started way back in the day alongside a few other gangs mainly oriented in both Johto and Kanto, so...it's no surprise that Mom and Dad met pretty easily. They were each apart of the gang branches in Johto and Kanto, and after finding that out, that's when they started connecting their companies. Since they were young, they were trained in the same stuff that they trained us in: business. Business on the outside, and eventually, they took up the jobs of their own gang members while using their companies as their surface identities to lay low, so...we got a lot of stuff aside from just technology in the long run. Drug cartels, hitmen and hitwomen... Again. We're good people as far as normal intentions and morals go. But when you get beyond all that, though?[break][break]

...Yeaaaah. Yeah, not so much~.[break]
That's just the way things are, though~.[break][break]

Yup. Yup, yup... So, there's that. Where I was born, what I do... What my parents did and still do, and the basic gist of everything. In a nutshell, that's really the main basis of my life.[break][break]

...So let's get even further into detail, eh~?[break][break]

I don't ever wanna see you again

Going back to the base of things... Again, I was born as Bai Hu Nicholas Wang back in the day on January seventh over in Snowpoint City, Sinnoh. From around the time I could walk and talk, I was trained in martial arts alongside my siblings as far as activities went, and as per my own interests, I also trained in parkour when I was a bit older.
Back in the day, I was...a lot more different than I am now, to say the very least~. You see me now? See my confidence? My tendency to flirt and shit like that? Yeaaaah... Yeah, that wasn't how I was back then~. If anything,
I was the exact opposite since I kinda freaked out and blushed at literally anything awkward or anything like that if it ever happened to me~. ...Yeah, I see that look you're giving me~. Hard to imagine me doing that, eh~? Like...under any circumstances? Yeah, I get that- buuut as much as I hate to admit it, it was a thing back in the days of yonder~. Point is that I grew up to be the way that I am now, so...I guess it was improvement~.[break][break]

But yeah. As I said earlier on, my childhood was filled with tutoring, and galas... Martial arts training, and a Hell of a lot of other stuff. Admittedly, I was a lot more reluctant to do everything at first by sole virtue of how tedious it all was, but after constant encouragement from my parents, I kinda slipped into the swing of things fairly quickly. Met a lot of people along the way, too; some that were only there for the moment, and others that I still have contact with to this day. Some of them were kids around the same age as I was at the time; others were the parents of other kids that ran their own companies. Either way, I was introduced to a Hell of a lot of people from a pretty early age for sake of getting used to interactions and how to speak and whatnot, so... All of the early training proved to be pretty useful and beneficial in regards to getting me to where I am now. Helped me get into the swing of things, and...alongside that? It also introduced me to a fair amount of people that I actually like
conversing with to this day. Some people who aren't just business partners and all. In the case of one specific person, I was skeptical at first, but...hey. Getting past the skepticism's part of growing up, am I right?
And getting past the skepticism is what gave me my best friend today.[break][break]

...Yeah.[break]
Yeah. ...My best friend.[break][break]

...Ahem. Yeah~. All of those interactions helped me come into contact with my closest friend to this day around the time I was eleven, and that would've made her...eight at the time? Yeah. That should be right. Anywho, she's pretty big around these parts. Pretty well known, so I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew her- but in case you don't already, she's Jasmine. Jasmine Silph, specifically; head of the Silph Corporation, and one of Mystic's main business partners for a somewhat reasonable time by now. I met her back in the day when we still lived over in Sinnoh, and all. It was the usual routine and whatnot. My parents made it a habit to give us a heads up in regards to whenever we'd have to meet up with another kid or two while they met up with said kid or kids' parents all the while.
Just so happened that, at the time, we were introduced to Jaz- although when we were younger, she was a lot different compared to how she is now. ...A lot less toxic. Less...responsive in general. I remember time and time again when I'd just... Y'know. Look at her. Think about how weird she was. Honestly, my siblings and I tried to strike conversations with her a lot; cracking our normal jokes and banter like how kids normally did. But...in the beginning, we didn't exactly get anything aside from relatively blank stares and tilted heads from her. To some degree, it creeped me out, so...I just figured I had to ride it out until all those meetings and whatnot were finished between our parents.[break][break]

I also figured that it would be better to just try and talk to her a bit more instead of just awkwardly and idly staring back and forth throughout the times she was there, so...out of all of my siblings, I guess I was the one who made the most effort to try and get her to talk despite how socially inept and awkward I was at the time.
Albeit, a lot of the time, it just ended up in my getting moderately weirded out and vaguely unnerved because of her lack of emotions, but...I saw that everything was actually starting to pay off past a certain point. My siblings may have been off doing their own things at the time, but the more I talked to her, the more I got responses from her.
Like...actual responses. Ones aside from those normal, unreadable stares and stuff like that. ...She actually talked to me, even if it was at tiny amounts at first. She talked, and talked, and talked... And eventually, she did more than just talk and stare. As time went on during that first year, I heard her laugh for the first time. Saw her smile for the first time... And before I knew it? ...I guess you could say that I was attached~.[break][break]

I was attached as much as she seemed to be attached to me at the time- and although I admittedly didn't mind it too much, it always threw me off like Hell, man. 'Cause, like... Legit. You'd have this generally emotionless,
tiny little girl just... Staring at you. Staring at you with that unwavering and unreadable look on her face, and then would just...get closer all of the sudden. Get closer. Lean up in your face and all that without knowing the slightest bit about what she was doing, or without knowing the definition of what personal space was. ...Heh~. Yeah,
it really, really threw me off. Made me get flustered and spaz off the damn walls every single time she came to visit, but...it wasn't necessarily a bad thing~. Hell... It was one of the things that weirded me out, but at the same time, it was also one of the things that intrigued me in regards to her. With that intrigue came interest,
and with that interest came more of a desire to see and interact with her, I guess. ...And that's exactly what I got through the years, so... Huzzah~. Huzzah, huzzah~.[break][break]

Within those first few years, we just continued to get closer and closer to one another- and pretty quickly, much to my surprise at the time. Although she was still a lot more emotionless and unresponsive than I was wholeheartedly comfortably with, I just...found myself wanting to be around her more and more. So, again; that's what I did. I hung around her more. We played together when we were younger, and I guess I helped her out with being a kid at the time~. There was apparently a lot of stuff that she hadn't done- which, in retrospect, shouldn't have been too surprising given how much of a robot she pretty much was. A lot of the time, she'd see me and my siblings doing things and want to try them out for herself, or we'd even be out in public and she'd see other kids before telling me she wanted to do whatever it was they were doing. Being a bratty little kid, I always thought it was a tiny hassle at first, but...I couldn't really say no to her~. Not to that smile, not to that laugh... So every single time, I gave in~.[break][break]

...I remember this one time in specific, too. If I remember correctly, it was her first time going to a park. She wanted to go, so my parents and her parents agreed to just have their little meetings by the benches and tables nearby so they could watch us while we and my siblings went off to play. As usual, my siblings did what they wanted to while watching over my little sister, which left Jaz and I to explore the place on our own. Her attention drifted to the swings from the get go, and from there on, you could pretty easily guess what happened~. ...It was weird, seeing her so happy and enlightened for once- and at the sight of a simple pair of playground swings. Nevertheless, it was something I couldn't bring myself to deny her, so...I let her pull me around. For a little while, we just talked as I pushed her on the swings. ...She smiled and laughed a lot, and I-...[break][break]

...[break]
...Well, I guess there's no use in hiding it, but I trust that this is gonna stay confidential between us~.[break]
That right there... Her smiling and laughing. It was one of the things that made me like her- and not in your generally platonic way.[break][break]

After the swings, we came across a tiny little fiasco - so in other words, she jumped off the swings and basically took me down into the sandbox - we got ourselves up and situated before she looked over and spotted this little flower bed. Again; it was a really simple and weird thing that I thought was really stupid to be intrigued by at the time, but...overall, we went there afterwards. The two of us sat down in the grass while she picked her flowers and began to weave little rings and crowns from them. She placed a couple on my head and hands, so...I figured I may as well return the gesture. The two of us spent time just making little flower accessories for each other for a little while after getting there; talking idly and together while doing so. ...Then at some point, she asked me to marry her when we were older. Caught me off guard and turned me into a flustered spaz, but...despite that, I accepted for reasons that may or may not be obvious. ...I realize now that the chances of that promise actually being fulfilled are actually pretty low, but... Honestly? A good part of me still wants that to happen.[break][break]

...But seriously, though. Romantic endeavors aside, I'm thankful for the fact that I was able to meet her.[break]
...More thankful than I've ever really admitted before.[break]
More thankful than I could really express through words~.[break][break]

'Cause, girl, I moved on, and things are perfect

Thinking back on it, she and I kinda ended up like how my parents did to some extent. Sure, we didn't meet through gangs or Pokemon League challenges throughout the regions, but...we met through business. All because of the fact that our parents wanted to meet up for joint business ventures and meetings, but... In the long run, I'm - again -
really thankful for that. From that day on, I guess the two of us just got more and more closer to one another.
It got to a point where we started seeing each other and hanging out during times that weren't dedicated to our parents meeting up to discuss business and crap like that. Sometimes, my siblings wanted to see Jaz. ...But honestly...? Now that I think about it?[break][break]

...Heh. I guess it was just more of me wanting to see her, and vice versa.[break][break]

That's how it was throughout the first few years, and as time went on, that's exactly what started to happen. With more time passing, we visited one another a lot more. When I was in my earlier teens, I started learning a bit more about the gang in addition to business and school, but it wouldn't be until I was in my later teens that I started to get all into that. Until then, I focused on my academics and business tactics; both of which I ended up being able to practice alongside Jaz since we pretty much attended the same schools for the most part when we weren't separated by our little age gap. Admittedly, we still stuck pretty close together when we could , and again- we continued to do that even after school and in between meetings and galas and all that fun stuff. For the most part, we were and still pretty much are more or less inseparable. It was that way throughout our formal meetings and business meetings and ventures, as well as our specks of private tutoring... Even when we started high school. But if I remember correctly, that was around the time that-...[break][break]

...[break]
...Ah. Yeah. Yeah, it was around that time.[break][break]

Uh-huh... It was around our high school-ish years that she started seeing other guys and whatnot. And I mean...that was her choice~. Her life is her life. I got my thoughts and my wants, but I-... I just... I mean, I really had or have any right to interfere with that, right? Yeah. So, honestly... I just watched her each time it happened. Oddly enough, none of them really lasted too long - something I was both surprised and pissed about since she always did deserve to have more than just a short, effortless relationship - but even then, it...only ever seemed like a matter of time before she got into the next one. And then the next... And the next, then the next, and-... Well, you get the message. All in all, she seemed like she was more interested in other guys by the time we got to high school, so...I really just encouraged her. Did my best to support her. After all, if she wanted to give it a swing with other guys,
then...to some extent, I was fine with that. Whatever makes her happy, right? 'Cause...if she was happy, then I was happy. All I want is for her to be happy, so-...[break][break]

...[break]
...Raaaaambling. A'ight~. I'm rambling, now.[break]
Rambling rambling, rambling... Aaaand now I'm back on track~.[break][break]

...Aha. Yeah. Totally back on track. Uh... Let's see... Oh. Yeah, so...high school life, and...all that fun stuff.
Yeah. I mean, I obviously had about three years' worth of high school under my belt before Jazzy got there- what with the age gap again, and all. Needless to say, though, the day I knew she was gonna be there, I made it a point to get over there and greet her while also being her guide. I showed her the sights and whatnot around the school,
but it was unsurprising how she got the hang of things fairly quickly; enough to even snag a spot in the student council not too long after she got there. ...It was weird, but also amusing and still unsurprising, honestly. As far as communities in the school went, we ended up on two completely different sides of the spectrum. She was in the student council, then over on the other side, you had my twin and I who were in sports throughout the entirety of our four years at the school. Football was my main sport, and I switched that out for wrestling when the season was over.
I was on the wrestling team with my brother during the next season, but he always went into volleyball instead of football like I did, so...yeah. Either way, though... Different sides of the spectrum~. Different side, yet...like we always did, we still continued to hang out together whenever we had time. And honestly? It was a Hell of a lot of fun watching her to submerge into the schooling lifestyle despite the fact that high school was her first legitimate schooling experience, as far as I know.[break][break]

...It was hilarious to find out just how toxic she was actually capable of being~.[break][break]

I'm okay with us just being friends

Quick little side note before we go on that tiny bit more, though~. You remember when I mentioned my own, personal activity within our gang earlier? Y'know...when I said that it wasn't until my later teens that I started getting a bit more involved in the gang trade and general activities and whatnot. Yeaaah... Yeah, it was actually around my senior year - and the same time that Jaz came to our school - that I started getting more and more involved. Like how the rest of the members normally start out, our parents tagged along with us in order to supervise us whenever we did the occasional exchange- and I'll leave it vague at "exchange" because it honestly could've involved exchanges between a variety of goods, now. It hadn't taken us too long before we got enough of a hang of everything to be unaccompanied during our trades, so everything went along pretty smoothly. Balance between schooling, gang work,
and spending time with Jaz was surprisingly easy, so I just kept things up while doing my own thing here and there,
and heyo- things worked out pretty nicely by the time I graduated. I still visited Jaz pretty often at the old high school even after graduation, of course, but even then, I moved on to college- and that place kept me pretty damn busy a lot of the time in between work, studies, gang life.. All that stuff. But again- I somehow managed, so that was nice.[break][break]

As time went on, I climbed through the gang ranks and did a number of jobs alongside my siblings every so often,
too. It went from drug exchanges to technological skills, and even to hitman activities among other things. Through that time, we al pretty much found our specialties and whatnot. Liu Yan stuck the most with drug cartels, so he's pretty much the main drug lord from our family. Shi Bo took a shine to technology, so he became a hacker, as well as our informant and primary guide whenever we need to do various kinds of business. As for me...? I became the main hitman in the family. All of us are capable of taking down targets and all, but when it gets to the bottom line,
I'm normally the main one that it falls down to. Because of that, my life started getting a bit more hectic around the time that I was, say... Nineteen or twenty? Yeah. Somewhere around that time, I took my first hit, and although the idea of killing still doesn't exactly sit well with me, it became my main occupation within the Gémìng- and even then, I don't take up hits against completely innocent people, so there's that. been in the assassination game for a bit over a decade, now, so... There's that~. And, I mean... Later down the line, there was something that happened.
And my training helped out with that. ...But before we get to that, we gotta get to something else, first.[break][break]

We gotta talk about a couple of little asshats that I know~.[break][break]

Honestly...? On one hand, I can't completely blame them since they're Jaz's parents, and without them, I never would've actually met her to begin with. But...at the same time, they hurt her. A lot. She may not have realized it at the time, but they were the reasons why she was never actually able to be a kid. Why she was unresponsive, and so emotionless, and it all just-... It all just pissed me off so much, and I just-...[break][break]

...[break][break]

...Yeah. Yeah, I hate them. I hate them so much, but...the only things keeping me in line are the facts that they;re both valued business partners, alongside how they're still Jazzy's parents, too, so... I can't do anything to them.
I want to, but I can't, so that's why I get so damn pissed off.[break][break]

'Cause see, here. Around the time she was sixteen - which made me nineteen and a bit into my assassination lifestyle at the time - I was, again, busy with my own life. Gang life, college, extracurriculars... That and everything beyond all that good jazz? I was swamped as all Hell; rarely a speck of free time for myself for a good while, but despite that, I still made sure to be able to clear my time up for sake of spending time with Jazzy.[break][break]

AND HERE YOU HAVE A REALLY LAZY LIEKOS, so get ready to unbuckle yourselves from this ride, ladies and gents, 'cause I'm gonna be switching things around so I can get this frickin' history finished. It'll be updated later on to completely fit within the first person style, so just bear with me, here~.[break][break]

For the remainder of this section, all you really gotta know is that Bai was on his way to meet up with Jasmine one day, but after a bit of waiting, he decided to go out and meet her at her house since she was never really late for the outings that they agreed to have together. By the time he got to her house, he saw and smelled smoke coming from the yard on top of hearing her screaming, so he booked it over as quickly as he could. Hopped the fence, confirmed she was in there, then literally just broke through a side of the shed that she was locked in to get her out since her parents locked her in and set it on fire on account of "disobedience"; something that pissed him off even more,
because of how trivial it was, but hey. They did what they did, and that's partially why he can't really stand them anymore.[break][break]

Oh, and because of the amount of got stressed and freaked out, the aforementioned stress prompted his evolution into a Haunter. So...yeah. Fun times~.[break][break]

'Cause I don't think about you every single night

Aaand for this section... After Bai stops ranting like he's doing up above, Jasmine got kidnapped about three years later after the shed fire, making Jazzy nineteen and Bai about twenty-two at the time. Remember when he said something about how his assassination training would help him do something in the future? Yeah. Yeah, this was what that "something" was. He went to her parents, and after seeing how they weren't exactly going out of their ways to look for her, he went to his brother to start looking some information up. With said information, he found out the situation and Jazzy's location- and once he did,he booked it over to where she was being held pretty quickly. Long story short, the guys who were keeping her captive got thrashed pretty badly, and he got Jasmine away and out of the area to safety. Like you saw above, he pretty much still hates them with a burning passion for not looking for their own daughter after she was abducted, or at least paying the ransom to get her back.[break][break]

Another extreme point emphasizing why Bai hates her parents so much, but again- can't exactly be changed by that point, so RIP.[break][break]

I'll be fine without you; I can sleep tight

Around this time, you'll have another minor timeskip by about maybe three years or so. Nothing too major as far as conflict goes here, but what you really need to know is that Bai starts reaching his impatience and jealousy limit in regards to waiting up to see if Jazzy will ever actually give him a green light as to whether or not she likes him- even though it's pretty frickin' obvious that he does, but HEY, he doesn't wanna jump the gun and potentially make things weird between them in case he's wrong. Which...again, he isn't. But he's scared of making the wrong assumption without any clear signs and fracturing their friendship that way, so he's pretty damn indecisive.
Between that and the fact that he doesn't have the heart to shake his affection for her off, he kinda deals with his emotions and actions in a way that isn't exactly the best, buuuut he does what he does.[break][break]

So in other words: at age twenty-five, he stops having legitimate, shorter lasting relationships to try and move on, and starts to have flings with other people as a coping mechanism to make up for the fact that he doesn't exactly have sufficient companionship in his life. Flings don't require any emotions, under most circumstances, after all-
so it's a good enough of a solution for him since it means that he doesn't have to give up his feelings for Jasmine.[break][break]

When I'm not beside you, I'm movin' on

Two years at age twenty-seven, he slipped up on a hit bad enough to the point where he had the tables turned on him,
which then resulted in him getting held captive by the same people that he was hired to kill. He was held captive for a few days while being beaten pretty badly, and at some point, the stress of it all had ended up making him evolve from a Haunter to a Gengar on instinct. The evolution was what gave him his hypnosis abilities, and he used them to throw the people watching him off guard before getting close to the nearest shadow to literally ride the darkness away and to safety. He made his way back to his house that way and knocked out when he got back, where his family's personal doctors took care of him.[break][break]

...Aaaand while he was knocked out cold, all of the family that he had in the gang also went out of their ways to hunt those guys down and finish the job for him. Mess one member of the family, and you mess with all of them, so...[break][break]

...Yeaaaaah. Yeaaaah, rest in peace. All of them. May all of those guys rest in peace.[break][break]

No, I don't cry about you; no these ain't tears

Section number eight... Around this time, you'll have Bai finishing up his degrees in business at college and officially getting his diplomas and whatnot. Again; nothing too major, but nothing too minor, at the same time.
Probably within the same year that he got kidnapped, or maybe just a year or so following it. Around this time,
the Mystic Corporation opens three new branches with other CEOs who hold the same amount of power as the original founders (so in other words, his parents). Each branch has a sub title representing each part of the four mythical beasts. The original branch is the Golden Dragon Branch, while the branch that Bai is in charge of is the White Tiger Branch. Shi Bo's in the Azure Dragon Branch, and Liu Yan's is the Black Turtle Branch. There's one remaining branch to be opened in the future when his sister finishes her schooling, and as could be guessed, it'll have some representation of the Vermilion Bird.[break][break]

Around this time, he and his siblings also begin to reach out with the CEOs, heirs, and heiresses of other technological companies to share ideas and collaborate; some of which go by the names of Ion Industries and Raijin Industries, among others, as well.[break][break]

In my eyes about you; gonna be fine

More minor details (that, in the long run, are kinda substantial to a few plots here and there). You know how Bai started to sleep around as a coping mechanism for his feelings around the time he was twenty-five or so? Yeah...
Yeah, at around age twenty-nine he stops doing that. Why? He's honestly just tired of all of that by then. Still needs that way to cope with his feelings and what he does, so he still does it to this day- but the rate at which he does it is extremely rare. While he did it on occasion in the past, nowadays, he only ever really does it once in a blue moon; mainly when he's extremely stressed or just has a general weight hanging on his shoulders for whatever reason. So yeah. Small change of lifestyle, right there.[break][break]

If I die without you, baby, I'm gone

And for section ten, we have his final times in Sinnoh before he officially moves over to Lyeant for three main reasons: (1) the expansion of his family's own company; (2) to keep in contact with the same collaborations companies that are also opening new branches; and (3) to further spread the influence of the gang that he's in. At age thirty,
he packs his bags and moves over to Lyeant for sake of the three aforementioned things stated in the prior sentence,
and he's lived there for the past year, now. Life's more or less the same as it was for him back in Sinnoh. Only difference is that it's a completely different place.[break][break]

>>> TL;DR

there is nothing left to take, but i still try to reach. try to swallow it all down, yet i can't seem to breathe. just a single pill of mine, nothing else would suffice - i take it in, now i'm alive. my phone is set on lock, and i don't really care. there's a tangle and a knot that i cannot repair. i'm a tragedy, i'm ugly, i'm trying to hide. i say "hello", then wave "goodbye". see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honestly. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see it run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i still refuse to believe.
