1.) Did you know that some of the main and secondary characters of this fanfic series have specific songs that I like to dub as their 'theme song' since I drafted key elements of the character with the song? Here's some:
Shang Qinghua (Feihong): 凤凰于飞 (Flight of the Phoenix) [from 後宮甄嬛傳]
Mobei Jun: 山海 (Wayfarer)
Luo Binghe: 因梦寻湖山 (Yin Meng Xun Hushan)
Shen Qingqiu (Shen Yuan) & the System: 太极 (Tai Ji)
Xiyu Jun: 在那遥远地方 (In that Faraway Place)
Dong Xiu: 康定情歌 (Kang Ding Love Song)
Wu Lang: 乌兰巴托的夜 (The Night of Ulaanbaatar)
Linguang Jun: 天地缓缓 (Tiandi Huanhuan)
2. ) While I have yet to think of voice actors for the characters, I listen to many songs. So there are some singers whose voices I associate with certain characters. For example:
Linguang Jun - Lun Sang
Mobei Jun - Wu En
Shang Qinghua - Little Song Child (Xiao Quer)
Shen Qingqiu - Muhan
Luo Binghe - Little Pendant (Xiao Zhui)
Xiyu Jun - T-Tone_Xiao T
Dong Xiu - KBShinya
Wu Lang - O'Lou (Oh No)
3.) The Old God's prayers are taken from Buddhist mantras and sutras, as I wished to bring in the air of something ethereal and ancient. The Old Gods all have their own prayers, and Zuqilin's prayer was given to him as a complimentary addition, although it holds no actual power for the accursed qilin. A prayer to a specific god reinforces their power or calls them to the person offering the prayer.
Since Hundun is one of the Creators of the world, his prayer is used the most, half to invoke his Greatness and half to honor his role in the world.
Hundun: The Heart Sutra
Taotie's Mantra: Usnisa Vijaya Dharan
Qiongqi's Mantra: Medicine Buddha mantra
Taowu's Mantra: Guru Rinpoche Mantra
Tiangou's Mantra: Avalokitesvara Mantra
Zuqilin's Mantra: Vajrasattva Mantra
Within the Pack of the Fiends, Hundun's prayer is used as a trigger for the Soul String between the seven members, known simply as the Wolves' Howl, which can be heard within the depths of the listeners' souls. The Howl can be used as a command for the pack to gather, as a communication for joyous occasions, to express immense grief and need for immediate aid, or signal the end of a packmate's life. Only the Pack knows what the Howl is used for once it is used within the Soul String.
