Is this a MC → Thrain → “MC” situation? Does Genshin exist in his new incarnation? Does he play it to (roughly, since he might’ve changed some things) keep up with what’s happening in his past life as Thrain?

What about Teyvat? Since he tricked Ronova and sacrificed himself to have his souls rejoin the Leylines/afterlife, wouldn’t she notice his soul missing? Would this get out somehow? Would the Fatui go looking for him (his soul)?

Would Teyvat end up finding his reincarnation and if so, what would their reaction to a modern!Thrain!MC be? …Actually, what is he studying? History? Teaching? What would their reaction be to an academic Thrain!MC? (Is he still tall and buff like he was in game? As a contrast to his profession.)

—

Thrain!MC would probably be incredibly exasperated at ending up isekaied. (Like, seriously, again? At least he doesn’t have to grow up again…) Is it into another fandom or a generic isekaied-hero-journey that he completely derails by being himself? Would be funny if it has a Game system interface that include his old titles and power-levels, etc from when he was the First Fatui Harbinger.

(If we go with academic Thrain!MC: Here’s this tall, long-haired man dressed like a stereotypical teacher holding a mug of coffee, so you think his stats won’t be that good, but then you check and BAM! “First of the Fatui Harbingers”, “Il Capitano of the Fatui”, “Sentinel Knight”, “Lord of the Night”, “He who sits upon the Throne of the Primal Fire”, “He who turned Death’s curse against it”.)

I say Genshin should exist in his new incarnation, and he plays it to keep up with what's happening after his 'death'!

Uh, I'm not sure if Ronova would notice his soul is missing, nor if it would get out to the Fatui somehow... maybe someone from Natlan notices?

Also, I'm not sure if anyone from Teyvat would be able to find his reincarnation? I'm just not sure...

As for what Thrain!MC is studying... I don't know. I have no clue what he would go for... history maybe? Oh, and I stand by him still being tall and buff. Even if he's no longer a warrior he still keeps his body in tip top shape!

And yes, Thrain!MC would absolutely be VERY exasperated if ended up being isekai'd. Not sure what fandom would be a good choice for him, but it's chaotic... and he would like to go back home please. He's RETIRED now-

So this is very roughly phrased since I haven't thought too much about it

But yes, it is sort of an mc becomes thrain and then gets reincarnated as thrain!MC but they don't remember becoming thrain!MC they only remember being thrain/the captain and their life and now somehow they're reincarnated in another world and the window idea is actually very awesome and I absolutely love it!

Also yes, I imagine genshin would exist and he would definitely play it, imagine if they even meet some of the harbingers on there, but like tjem as people who play genshin and their said usernames are so similar to the harbingers is because they "like those said harbingers"

Collage thrain!MC as I imagine would probably look very intimidating even tho he isn't? It's like one of those situations where they look scary but aren't actually and are pretty nice

And I imagine them to be someone who's interested in history/art history and maybe music? (Ps. I'm purely basing this on vibes that I get from him)

Okay so I imagine them actually becoming friends with the others first because they take the same class? Or because of something else and then realizing that "ohhh these are the same guys I play that game with"

I imagine the others are basically identical to their old personalities just less murderous, not dottore, he's still the same

As for the others I'll have to think 😅

...Dottore is still the same? Oh god, please tell me he isn't still doing human experimentations secretly, is he?! I rather he didn't do half the shit he did in Genshin on Earth, thank you!

Imagine if capitano/thrain!MC actually died and was reborn into the normal world and he still has memories of his past self before dying and he's so not used to it(?) Because in his previous life he was a warrior, a fatui harbinger and now he's just some guy in collage?

It might take a lot of time for him to get used to this peaceful life but he come to enjoy it eventually. After everything he's been through... he deserves a life away from fighting.

...Unless he gets isekai'd into another world-
