independant & private depictions of multiple characters from Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, FFXIV + more. my writing for the muses here contain some canon divergencies, so please keep that in mind when interacting / plotting. activity can be considered low & selective when I feel the motivation / muse to write here due to hectic sporadic work life. not associated with any of the general fandoms / rpc's written in here, prefer to stay off in my own little outskirt. crossover & au friendly with additional verses for some muses. please read my rules before following / interacting.

I didn't put every single character under the sun on here but I've just been thinking about characters in terms of how I could see Blade with them. This is based solely on my interpretation of Blade after having done 4.3 -- holding any sort of dynamic would be difficult before 4.3 considering the end result that Blade sought for himself & the struggles he held when it comes to his past self. That is if you were outside of the Stellaron Hunters.

My whole 'could go either way??' category is more so that I could see things in either kind of dynamic whether it's platonic or ends up more then that but it'd solely be dependent on the person I plot with & what their ideas are.

Any Genshin muses listed here are going based off what I have for Yingxing / Blade’s genshin verse.

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒 , 𝐵𝑙𝑎𝑑𝑒.

main v. this basically follows the in game setting for Blade where he is a stellaron hunter. i'm caught up with planarcadia when it comes to blade so happy to plot stuff involving that.

au main, verse 2. an alternate route to my main verse where instead of having joined the stellaron hunters, Blade instead had been found by Sunday. This applies specifically to Pandora’s Sunday ( @halothes ) but other people are welcome to interact in this to help flesh it out more or build more otherwise ‘odd dynamics’. He essentially lives in the shadows of Penacony up until the happenings with Sunday, where he then ends up joining the SH with Sunday.

modern, verse 3. a man whose parents were brutally murdered when he was just a young boy, leaving his life forever stained with the mark of blood. known as yingxing, he works as an art teacher, for the younger age group, while holding a side business as a swordsmith ( real swords & turning fictional weapons into reality, think like scarbarough fair type stuff & anime collectibles ).

some additional details for this verse: yingxing is the name he goes by at his job, ren is what most people close to him call him & blade is the name he signs for the side work he does. the purpose of his work is to show the younger generations that hands can create just as much as they can cause destruction, to give life to something amidst times of despair or suffering ( this is a very important detail ). he has a scrap of a she kitten named Yù, little black furball with the tip of her right ear torn & surprise mauling yingxings feet.

verse 4, fandomless. once a swordsmith, now a man forever wandering the lands with the curse that was laid upon him. he'll never be granted the release of death no matter what his body or mind is put through, the punishment for 'daring' to resurrect the dead. for how can one pull back a human soul from beyond.

some additional details for this verse: I took some inspiration from the Witcher for this verse -- mostly in the aspect that I have Ren act as a kill for hire ( usually for monsters ). he does jobs based on his own criteria & terms but sometimes will do things of his own volition regardless of whether it's been put onto him as a task. he goes by the name of Ren in this verse.

yingxing, main verse. verse for during the days of yingxing, when he was a part of the HCQ, before it all fell apart. this verse includes when he lived as yingxing, the events after the hcq's falling + first joining the hunters as blade.

yingxing, genshin verse. a traveling swordsmith that makes a living selling specialized weapons across teyvat, forged through a secret technique taught from his master.

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒 , 𝐶𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑢𝑠.

main v. this follows the standard events of the honkai: star rail timeline including prior to the beginning of the game ( that means stellaron hunter cae would go here but I'll only use that with plotting ).

verse 2. an alternate path for Caelus on the basis of a 'what if' situation. this is following the notion of Caelus deciding to stay on the space station as a means to look more into his existence. i don't have him staying there permanately & deciding to go to the AE after sometime. you can find the full verse information here.

verse 3. caelus's career is mostly that of a streamer, focusing on many different types of content ( ie. gaming. cooking ) while holding a small part time job as a bartender at the same time.

Dan Heng is not a heavy sleeper by any means usually, his sleep is more light where it can sometimes be difficult to stay asleep. One of the reasons why he prefers sleeping in the archives is for the white noise that the machines provide for him. He is a light sleeper however due to the many years he spent after his exile from the Luofu, not feeling safe or comfortable enough to allow himself to deep sleep. Sleeping in such a way would leave him vulnerable & at the mercy of others who came across him, much like how life was in the Shackling Prison, so even trying to close his eyes for a tiny bit was spent guarded.

Those years helped him become more observant about telling the difference in peoples footsteps, how close they were or what direction the sound was headed in. He's gained somewhat of a skill in sometimes being able to identify someone by their 'footsteps' or sounds since not everyone carries themselves the same way when they walk.

some additional tidbits for Lohen because he has my braincell at the moment.

he has an interest in plants especially carnivorous ones or those that look beautiful but are deadly. lohen would like to visit Sumeru for an extended time just to study some of the wild life.

lohen’s given himself small doses of poison over the span of his life. this is both to build up some sort of immunity to them while having curiosity on the pushing of his own limits.

he tends to be bad about noticing any sort of wounds when it comes to post battle aftercare. it's not that Lohen can't feel the pain but relishes in feeling such things, pushing himself in the heat of battle. he enjoys the thrill of it, the adrenaline, which tends to mask those hidden & quicker placed wounds.

not mentioning any 6.6 leaks here at all but mostly just wanting to make a note of how I see Lohen at least for my portrayal. only because I've seen some fanon stuff that I'd rather turn away right now for me.

the first being that I don't see Lohen as someone whose a sadist or sadistic, I'd say that he has some tendencies but it really depends because Lohen first & foremost is still a knight. lohen is pretty open about his quirks or tendencies so it's not some secret from people on how he is. someone can enjoy combat, the thrill of battle & the feeling of adrenaline while not being some absolute psycho. my vision at least is that he enjoys being able to go neck & neck with those at the same level as him, that allows him to push himself further & further. if he can make them bleed by landing certain shots, bring that side out of them which he feels in himself, to connect with other people in this same way. if you're not that kind of way, not a person who enjoys combat, then Lohen is more likely to just not care honestly. he's not going to pursue things that bare no fruit or don't hold his interest & focus. if he's bored then that's when lohen kind of just fucks off, shrugs or generally doesn't care.

the second being, yandere. i have my own thoughts about lohen when it comes to interpersonal relationships with other people regardless of the type. my thinking for lohen is that he is loyal, nothing can change that, & fiercely so. he'd be the same with people that he cares about but not to the point of being posessive about, protective yes. that depends though on the type of dynamic & person because everyone has different styles of things when it comes to their dynamics with other people. he has respect for people, cares for people ( like mika for example ) & maybe that's odd but if it leads to a good dynamic where he can do what he loves while helping someone out. that's pretty good in Lohen's book, a beneficial relationship, & he'd be pretty respectful to those kinds of people. the man just has an ... odd way about showing his care but it wouldn't go so far as being violent or obsessive towards them since as I said. the one thing I will say which he can be borderline obsessive with is the thought of sparring or fighting with certain others, at least in the sense of asking when he gets the chance. no he won't purposefully stalk someone to constantly ask them because that won't change the answer but there are more patient ways to do so.
