Min Wen

Created by Gris Lee

The head librarian of the Nirvana Library. Min might look scruffy for someone in his position, but his passion for reading extends any care for tradition. He grew up as the oldest of his five other siblings back in China. The chaos often became overwhelming, which led to Min taking solace at his local library or book shop for the peace and quiet. His ability wasn't discovered until he was reaching university age, but he left to study in Nirvana immediately. Whilst studying literature, he met his best friend Baron, who was on the technology course. He's known to be very involved in the library's running, hosting many events, running classes, and when he not on break he's usually somewhere walking about to attend to patrons. If he's not at the library, he's at the park, skating up shreds that put the younger folk to shame. This combination of nerd and punk makes him quite the icon. His attitude is usually offset by his charitable nature. Min likes to put emphasis on helping your community without sacrificing your integrity.

Personality

Min is pretty content with his life. Though he might look apathetic, he's surprisingly engaging, caring about little more than his books and the people who come to read them. Despite his position, Min is incredibly down to earth.

He dislikes being spoken to formally, preferring to act casually with patrons. When he's not running his own activities at the library, Min is either showing off at the skate park, or volunteering with multiple charities. He has seemingly endless energy, despite his monotonous voice. In relation to how he speaks, Min likes to take inspiration from the countless books he's read. So, he usually peppers literary quotes into his sentences. Min is very passionate about his hobbies. This charitable punk enjoys a good book, a coffee, and some loud live music to be content. He's also surprisingly romantic. Min's guilty pleasure is reading trashy romance novels and trying to set up his friends on dates. He himself has terrible luck with dating. Being sex repulsed, he aims to find someone similar that he can bond with.

Despite his usual, cool attitude, there are times where Min's darker emotions slip through, no matter how hard he tries. On the lesser side of things, Min has a strong dislike of children and preteens. Having grown up as the oldest of five kids, Min hated acting as a carer most of the time, and is thankful to be away from it. Now, when he encounters children, he tries to polite. However, if they misbehave he becomes extremely stressed, often having to leave the situation. He was also diagnosed with ADHD after moving to Nirvana, which explains some of his other behaviours. Min struggles with things like organisation, having to rely on assistants for that. He's also rarely stood still. If it's not rolling about on his bored, it could be fidgeting in his chair or reorganising the books for the hundredth time. He can't focus properly either without his medication.

In his worst moments, Min's emotions can have him completely breaking down. When others are in peril, he immediately tries to help. This impulsive and reckless behaviour often puts Min in the way of danger. Much of the time there's not always much he can do. When this happens, Min feels useless. When it comes to his best friend Baron especially, Min worries about him a lot and will go to great lengths to ensure Baron does not suffer anymore than he already has.
