#chixian

nathaniel: family man. affectionate big cat with his person. will purr for them, will tease them gently so. he aims to be their anchor, as he expects them to be his. uses 'babe', 'baby', 'sweetheart'. doesnt fluster easily, but gets amused. needs an equal. he got where he is by crawling through the dirt. domesticity is something he's used too as well as being a warrior. should be noted he has killed one person (sienna's abuser), and nearly killed another and had to be stopped (zhongli). he will not hesitate to kill someone for his partner if he finds out they've been wronged.

venti: free spirit, but when with the right person, he is a doting partner. especially if he chooses to allow himself to be tethered. affectionate looks and gifts. uses 'my beloved'. flustered when with the right person. does enjoy being caught off-guard, retaliates with relentless teasing. does not shy away from helping his partners when he's around. for example; while he is a patron at chiharu's bar, he does help her out afterward or keeps an eye on the bar while she steps away for a moment. would kill for his partner in the shadows. as an anemo sprite and someone who has seen war. there is no hesitation if he views it necessary.

zhongli: devoted mountain. protective and the unshakeable anchor. nothing they do can break his resolve to be there for them. less likely to be affectionate at first due to who he is as a person, but once he's comfortable, he usually has one hand on the small of his partner's back. often uses their names but in rare instances; 'my heart'. doesnt fluster often. when he does, he more shows it with the flustering near his ears. not a tease as zhongli, but is as morax. has a godly arrogance as morax. domesticity is a given (does not shy away from mundane tasks). as a former war god, there would be no hesitation on his end to protect his someone. actually, it might trigger his morax side which his partner would have to bring him out of.

kazuha: devoted. very in tune with their emotions. observant. with his finely tuned hearing, he reads their heartbeats easily enough. soft forehead kisses and forehead touches are a must. often uses their names must for the right person, he calls them such as (for example) sora is 'my heart'). doesnt fluster. he does the flustering. does domesticity but is a wanderer. he needs someone who is willing to travel with him. a warrior by nature, if there was no choice, he would not hesitate to kill.

friede (pokemon blog): hand-holding and forehead kisses. usually reserves other affections for privacy (his upbringing in kanto), but he treats his partner as an equal. he values their mind as well as their body and autonomy. uses 'baby' or 'babe'. sometimes is flustered but more often then not its him doing the flustering. not afraid to shirk from domesticity but also respects his free spirit... luckily for him, he's found that someone. he doesnt have it in him to kill but there would be a point made by his pokemon (as extensions of himself) or by a well-placed kick to the gut.

kianga (pokemon blog): giant cat. affectionate. doting. would burn the world for them. he almost did for parker. definitely needs someone to sit and cradle his face and just let him breathe. protective and guards them fiercely. doesnt use nicknames too often. his words are often actions. doesnt fluster. simply smiles and dishes it back. needs someone who's also a wanderer. no hesitation would kill for his partner. he's done it already. more blood on his hands doesnt bother him.

axel (pokemon blog): tease, but is a shadow often behind them giving a glare to anyone who approaches who he doesnt deem worth their time. for them, he is soft. playing with their hair, smiles that reach his eyes. when he falls, he falls hard. he values their drive, their goals -- they are his now too, as he expects the same in return. often uses 'baby' or 'my heart' on rare occasion. does the teasing/flustering. its hard... VERY HARD... to fluster this man. loves domesticity (cooking, cleaning). growing up in orre, he has blood on his hands. would give them a chance to run before simply doing away with them. has not a yandere side, but a dark side nonetheless when his partner is in danger.

zhengyi: absolute doting partner. melts in their touch and proves to be a fiercely protective partner. values their autonomy. likely gives them one of his feathers if only to know when they're in danger. will not hesitate to kill to keep them safe, often has to be stopped. is not against domesticity. kisses along the shoulders are a thing. often calls them 'my love' or 'my dearest', or if hes feeling mischievous; 'my wind' as in the wind beneath his wings. if an attempt to fluster him is made... well, he'll take it as an invitation and help himself to his partner. no question, depending on what it was that happened, he would just kill the person. normally not violent otherwise.

chixian (chigiri hyoma fc): easily flustered if only how deeply he feels for his partners, young. however, he often is the one to dish back the teasing. doting partner. gives his all here as he does everything in life. fiercely protective and possessive. his hotblooded nature will not tolerate his partner being around anyone else. often has to be reminded about autonomy. feels remorseful afterwards. zhengyi often has to sigh and give advice. if pushed, probably would kill someone. doesnt use nicknames yet.

hajime: fiercely protective partner. possessive at some points. always has a hand around their waist. desires someone he can protect. doesnt want someone weak; just someone who he can devote himself too. flustered only when provoked by his partner. desires to be able to come home to them and listen to their day as they listen to his. domesticity is absolutely something he will devote himself too. killing someone? yes. yes he would. hes a tenryou officer who has seen war. hes not violent, but he doesnt have patience for people who disrupt his partner's life or the lands of inazuma. can be smug and a tease with his actions when with the right person. calls his partners 'dearest' or 'my love'.

tsubasa: the one character who gives 'modern day teenage boyfriend from a shojo manga' vibes. bad boy who has a playfully aggressive personality. HUGE doggo vibes when with the right person. dotes on them to a point its disgusting to some. they become his entire world. hes never killed anyone but he has fought people before (aka sora's fiance the red prince). not shy. will tease and open to all kinds of intimacy (even adding a person to the bedroom if his partner is willing). becomes ENRAGED when his partner is in danger (for example, with kinich and finding out about ajaw and how he'll possess his body after, his first instinct is to eat ajaw to assert his dominance). easily emotional if his partner is in danger. he is a good boy boyfriend to his partners. calls his partner 'babe' or other cute nicknames.

pan: the ancient soul who just wants a place to rest. he is devoted to his partners. if he finds the right person, he will devote his entire life to them and will find them no matter what form he's in across all his lives (life, death). he is the ultimate loyal partner. they become the only voice who can pull him out of his rage. for them, he would burn the world and then create it again in what makes them happy. he loved theodora as fiercely as he loves ivy (in an AU). he will never push his partner too far and is not against domesticity. he is a bit of a tease in the right moments but normally is just a very affectionate partner. he falls harder if they treat his daughter with care. calls his partners 'darling' or 'my heart'.

caelum: the college boyfriend experience. he is the type of guy who once he falls, his love is spoken by how much he watches them. he flirts relentlessly and loves to tease, but he is soft with them. the problems arise with his draconic nature. he can become irritable in the summer due to his draconic heat, but for them, for them and to make sure they dont suffer because of it, he often seals himself away. he will not allow himself to treat his precious partner as a simple release for his urges, so usually its the partner who sets the pace with him. in the winter, he creates a makeshift nest of blankets and other things and usually is cuddly then. he often makes pieces of art for them and if they get married? he definitely forges the rings himself. he treats them like a prince/princess/royalty. dates, attending their events, going into their hobbies... he dotes on them relentlessly. not to mention, if provoked, he might kill, but to be honest he'd just seriously maim. his heart is too pure for violence truly. calls his partners 'baby' or 'babe'.

caspian: the flirt who wont give up if hes interested... especially if theyre a redhead. hes smug and hes proud and his pride can easily get wounded if rejected, but hes not an asshole -- not completely. if theyre truly uninterested or uncomfortable he will back off. if hes spurned after being led on, he can give into his draconic pride a bit to intimidate said person. beneath it all, he is a very warm and explosive lover. needs physical intimacy absolutely. he is a passionate man who requires the ability to show his partner his love in full. skilled and never leaves them unsatisfied (tries not too). in the summer, his draconic nature is amplified. he is not a gentle person in the summer. in the winter, he often builds nests like other dragons and is content to lay with his partner in the quiet. the summer is where he rules. not a violent person but would intimidate anyone who harms his partner.

augustine: the gentleman lover. when he devotes to someone, he devotes to them. due to losing his wife, his way of viewing romance is this; he already had the best, but hes willing to take a chance on love again. he is seeking someone just as long-lived as he is. he dotes on them, gifts, dates... he half-asses nothing. he is within their space almost always, one hand on the small of their back. he is a patient, sensual lover and he rules the springtime courting unlike caspian. in the summer he lets his partner set the pace. in the winter, when he nests, he takes time off for weeks at a time to spend with his partner. has killed before. will do it again. calls his partners 'darling' or 'my heart'.

silas: the flirty soft lover. despite how he comes across, silas is a very submissive male dragon and is very soft and affectionate. he leans into them and allows himself to be held. always checking on them. always asking how theyre doing. he is gentle in how he handles his partners. in the spring, he doesnt court traditionally. he asks directly if they'd be interested and in the summer, if they are, he gives himself willingly. he makes it very clear where things remain between them. its the winter where he shines; the nesting is when he is his most affectionate and most attentive. he is often very sleepy in the winter as well. could never harm anyone, but he is that one person who appears behind said person who dares to harm his partner and warns them in a low voice if he catches them near his partner again, he'll let his brother (augustine) handle them. calls his partner 'babe' or 'baby'.

Zhengyi and Chixian are almost always seen together except on Sunday when Chixian gets the day off. On rare weeks every two months, they go to Mondstadt for the weekend where he gets to spend time with Ione. On the rare days off, Chixian goes down to Liyue Harbor to spend time with his friends or he spends it playing his sport with Zhengyi and Ione. He is never bored and simply is allowed to be a kid which was Zhengyi's hope for him.

Zhengyi has plans for Chixian to travel with Ione when they're over eighteen and to get to see Teyvat, but for now he is under the Burning General's protection. People often do come snooping such as the Fatui if only because of his unique resonance. Zhengyi simply ends up killing them or leaving them with a warning; keep their noses out of the business of the Burning General before he loses his patience.

Chixian is mostly unaware of the fact he's being hunted. The other Adepti are aware of it as well as Zhongli and Sienna. Being Chixian is under Zhongli's jurisdiction, often the former Archon does have to intervene when Zhengyi cannot. The Fatui are remarkably persistent which causes no end of issues. If they got ahold of Chixian, likely they would let Dottore disect him which... is the last thing anyone needs.

Chixian fundamentally is a cool under pressure, sassy person and yet, like his mentor, when provoked, has a fire that burns hot. In Chixian's case it comes across as a typhoon. People will notice he can be prideful and vain with most people, but with certain people he's a complete kitten.

Specifically, he's this way for Ione. It's very clear that no matter what verse, he has feelings for her. He allows her to braid flowers into his hair when if anyone but Zhengyi ruffled his hair, he'd get aggressive. He is patient and gentle with her and almost always has a smile. In canon verse, their relationship is childhood friends to lovers. In other verses, it is very difficult to get him to look at anyone else, but the challenge is there for those who want to pursue him.

Chixian wielded a simple training spear for the first few months he was there on the Guili Plains but seeing Chixian was serious about learning the ways of the spear, he forged him a specialized spear of his own. Chixian is very proud of this spear and only allows a few people to touch it.
