Ororon
— Genshin Impact —
Shrouded Bat of Mictlan
Other Physical Traits.
fluffy blue "bat" ears atop his head, tribal tattoos that glow iridescent sometimes, little fangs, dark under-eye circles, an underlayer of lighter blue fur in his hair.
IC Permissions.
Background.
abandoned-as-a-baby and possibly orphaned bat boy with a "fragmented" and incomplete soul - considered an ill omen by his people - who happened to show up as a spare body in a time of crisis. thus, his tribe tried to stuff him full of ghosts and sacrifice him for the greater good of their supernaturally threatened nation when he was just an infant. it didn't work and the ritual was a bust so he survived, good for him! everyone's been real nice to him ever since, but now it's weird. he was raised collectively by the Masters of the Night-Wind and trained in their shamanic arts by his "Granny": the short-tempered and very powerful grand sage priestess of the tribe, who lovingly terrorizes him. Ororon's unique soul makes him especially perceptive of the supernatural and quite adept at navigating the veil between the living world and the Night Kingdom of the dead, but before he inherited his Ancient Name - i.e. power & memories passed down from a formidable warrior figure of Natlan's past - his soul was too fragile and his physical constitution too weak to be of much use to his perpetually war-torn nation. he spends most of his time living on his own in the wilderness growing (doting on) vegetables, which he names and then generously gives away to tribespeople and passers-by.
Personality.
well-behaved (most of the time), honest (generally speaking), quiet, sensible, and always studies hard. additionally: deeply empathetic, introverted, stubborn, curious, painfully self-sacrificing, apologetic about everything, and kind of pathetic, unfortunately. but funny! ha-ha. (actually, genuinely, quite a silly bro under the right circumstances and company.) Ororon has a mild complex about the fact that he failed to die and save the world when he was just a baby. as an adult, he is left searching for his purpose in life.
Other Details.
he can magically leap up and fly short distances, and with his Vision - a blessing from Teyvat's Gods - he can wield electricity. very attuned to souls, spiritual energy, and the afterlife. he is a bow user and specializes in mid-air attacks, in addition to his ability to create ultrasonic lures to attract and attack enemies. he's mastered some tricky illusions as well, including making a copy of himself and what basically amounts to teleportation. canonically, Ororon's unique constitution makes him very skilled at "reading" a soul to get a sense of someone's personality and intent, but this can/will be adjusted per player consent in rp!
"normie" AU ideas: solo indie scene/emo musician, artist, and composer who does most of his work over social media, or at very small events, because he's chronically ill - with a mysterious "spiritual" illness mayhaps? - and also genuinely too esoteric and morbid for mainstream. foreign (fantasy Mesoamerican, so)? and/or from the countryside, but may have recently moved to the city for convenient CR reasons. keeps lots of cacti and desert plants in his flat and grows veggies on his balcony. his tats are somehow also blacklight tats (dwbi) ooorrrr maybe he's still part flying technicolor bat if there's animal people for some reason. either way, he is very spritually sensitive and unironically into the occult, just like his foster granny.
(ensemble rock band bassist au with the other Natlanese also on the table lol)
for urban monster fighting and city vigilante type AUs, a mish-mash of the above and canon works for me.
