Travelers are space orcs, part 2
- Aether will sometimes turn into amber and use baron bunny as a pillow.
- Ability to clone small stuff, (aka the investagte option). Heāll just touch a cabbage or something, then discreetly put a second cabbage back into his pocket. Loves books, figures out everything by reading. Will clone any book he finds and keep it. Reads them all, no matter what.
- Each planet has its own language. Half the time he spent with Paimon before they went to Mondstat was just him learning the language, he picked it up quickly though. Struggles not to laugh every time the word āfatuiā comes up, (Fatui means stupid in his language) because he naturally translates the word in his head, all he can think of is āThe stupid are up to no goodā āThereās the stupid forcesā and āI am the eleventh stupid harbingerā. (Look it up, itās actually real but I forget for which language).
- The first time he met scaramouche, he died laughing as soon as the thought āScaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandangoā came to his head. Scaramouche immediately knew he was laughing at his name, and- pissed off, used his attack. Which made Aether laugh 100% harder because heās an ELECTRO ELEMENT.
- Can see item stats. A lot of people disregard the common trinkets found in chests because of how many there are, but Aether can see the attack, defense, energy, etc stats on each item and will keep all of them. Which is part of the reason heās such a good fighter. The stats apply to everyone, but nobody notices their magical effect because every single one found is level 0. He uses mora and other artifacts to make them stronger so the stats actually make a difference.
- Everyone writes the Traveler as Broke AF, but the reality is that they have stacks of mora, they just use it for upgrading stuff. Once they slow down on that, theyāre practically rich.
- Thereās probably a time when Amber asked for tips on fighting but Aether just came back and handed her a fancy flower and feather. While pretty, she didnāt see the attack merit in it... until she hit a hilichurl and it died INSTANTLY.
- Pocket space is infinite. Aether has no bag, but just pulls everything out of thin air. All the dishes he cooks stay fresh in the pocket space too, which is good because Paimon will eat anything but is somehow still picky.
- Sucrose has actually noticed whenever someone asked for something from the traveler, they usually have it on them. She asked Aether about this, and for a while Aether had to be careful with pulling stuff out of thin air.
- Canāt age. Aether was asleep, for at minimum, 500 years, probably through the entire archon war maybe. Everyone thinks heās around 15 to 16, but in reality itās more like 1500 tbh.
- Knowās information about all of his forms. The more he uses them, the more stuff he knows about them, which he knows would unnerve some people so he just sticks to somehow knowing everyoneās birthday while subtly trying to nudge peopleās emotional issues in the right direction. Is sure to compliment sucrose with her work, gave Bennett bandages to hold onto, and does his best to convince Barbara that her hard work is enough.
- Although, knowing peopleās birthdays does come in handy. Most of the time he just finds an anonymous gift or bakes something delicious and leaves it on their doorstep. But for Albedoās birthday he had an idea more... practical. Baby seelies will follow anyone around, and make for quite good pets since they donāt need to eat. So when Aether found a bunch of baby swarming seelies, he asked if any of them would like to come back to help his friend out with his research on dragonspire.
- They all agreed. This, lead Aether to have a birthday box full of baby seelies that crammed themselves in there and were vibrating from excitement. He only wanted one or two, but all eight wanted to come. And as it turned out, everyone forgot Albedoās birthday, including albedo himself because he preferred to be doing research or tests.
- This led to a hilarious situation of Aether, leaving a present that was rapidly vibrating, on Albedoās desk. Terrifying. They had to call in Jean, Kaeya, Lisa, AND KLEE to make sure theyād be able to defuse whatever was inside. Imagine the shock in the room when instead of a bomb or angry slime, there were a bunch of tiny seelies!
- Yes I have nothing better to do, why do you ask?
- Aether... is not a lightweight. Everyone imagines since the travler is new to alcohol, theyād be a lightweight, but venti was able to handle nearly 37 glasses of wine before getting drunk. Combined with how fast Aether can go from full to starving again, his system probably doesnāt even register the alcohol.
- Once, in an attempt to get him drunk, someone started buying him stuff they claimed wasnāt alcoholic. Nothing malicious, just some adventurers wanted to see him get tipsy. By the time Diluc noticed AETHER was the one getting the alcohol, they all were too fascinated to get him to stop. He out drank all of them without knowing and was still sober as a stone.
- Doesnāt die. Aether doesnāt actually feel pain until his hp is at 0. Once heās ādeadā his body will automatically withdraw from the fight, teleporting him somewhere. Although it looks really freaky to anyone else because it looks like he just collapsed and then dissapered. Dying is mildly painful, but Aether doesnāt really mind. Itās mostly a mild inconvenience to be honest.
