ABILITIES

- he can make whatever weapon he's holding have a greenish glow around it if he brings a hand over it. it hardens it and it does more damage (usually used on swords or claymore weapons).- he can make a shield, similar to noelle, except it is much more durable and lasts longer. this, if he was a character in-game, would be his ult.- from his adepti abilities, he can heal faster than normal humans could. it's not as fast as an archon, but it's significantly better.

- yanshi, the child of morax and guizhong. very few people know about his real relations to both of the gods. as far as the people of teyvat know (minus a few close friends), yanshi had been taken in by zhongli.- he's selectively mute.- he is genderfluid, not entirely minding what pronouns he is given. though if he has a set of pronouns he wants you to use, he will tell you.- he is an adeptus.- he doesn't make friends often, but when he does he usually tries his best to protect them and keep them safe.

when he was around 150, he fell into a slumber. the cause is still unknown to others, but he woke back up not long after. he woke up around 250 years later.he lived a good life up until he was 700, when he was attacked by someone. the person is still unknown, but yanshi has a feeling it was one of the gods that lost the archon war to his father and had taken it out on him.yet again, he fell into another slumber for around 300 years this time, leaving him to wake at around 1000 years. he roamed the world for a century until he found ganyu. he then took this to his advantage and asked where his father was, where she had shown him to the new place morax lived.after he woke up the second time, he always wore a mask around everyone. it hides the majority of his facial scars.he's stayed near (sometimes with) his father up until the harbor was attacked. he still lives in the harbor just in case something happens again.

- he has the highest respect for zhongli. not even because that's his father. to him, anything he says goes, even if he doesn't enforce it

- if he ever speaks to you (verbally), be glad. most people he talks to don't ever get to hear his voice

- he has two forms : human and adeptus. he's rarely ever in his adeptus form because he loves his human one so much
→ his adeptus form resembles a small blue dragon

- he has a bracelet that looks like its on the verge of breaking. she doesn't wear it during battles if he can help it. when they were young, they had made one for both of his parents. though, he won't tell you that.
