Current Characters: n/a
Character: Aether
Canon: Genshin Impact, after Yae's story quest (patch 2.5)
Age: unknown, at least 500
Background Information: Link
Personality:
Aether is shown to be a very empathetic and kind individual, who easily feels for other people or tries to do something to help them. He's far from naive though, and isn't afraid to call someone out, no matter who they are. At the same time, he's also willing to give anyone benefit of a doubt or a second chance while keeping a close eye on them.
As a traveler, Aether has endless amounts of curiosity. He enjoys exploring, getting to know various cultures of the world. At the same time he possesses good knowledge of many things, also from his travels to other worlds. Sometimes it's difficult for him to tell in which world he heard something and his memories from his homeworld seem to be a little foggy, too. The traveler tries to always take things rationally, but he also keeps an open mind to all kinds of stories and discoveries along the way. Many characters, Venti included, point but that he's sharp and he's often seen connecting the dots much faster than anyone else does.
Aether enjoys making friends with various people, as well as listening to their worries, hopes and thoughts, but he doesn't give the same in return. The traveler doesn't talk much about himself, particularly his past and the place he comes from are a mystery. On rare occasions he will remark that he did something as a child or show signs of having experience with something that others may find unusual. He also tries to hide any negative feelings and instead focuses his energy on other things (like helping people or the next step in his journey). He doesn't want to weight anyone down with his troubles, but it also seems that he doesn't trust anyone enough to tell them truth about himself. Those who figure out he's not from Teyvat still can't make him open up about his past. On the other hand, Aether himself cares greatly about his companions and goes out of his way to understand them and resolve their problems. He very often asks them what else he can do for them. However, being constantly relied on takes a toll on him and the only people who ever hear him complain or see him sad are Paimon, his little guide and Venti, the first archon Aether meets on his journey. That said, even in front of Paimon, Aether still tries to hide his sadness when the weight of reality gets too much to him. He also keeps her in the dark regrading his actual knowledge about the destroyed nation called Khaenri'ah.
When it comes to people he's closest to, it's very easy to notice that Aether's sister, Lumine, means everything to him. He desperately searches for her, but is also ready to drop everything on the spot to just be with her again and find a new "home". It is safe to assume that he considers everything to be temporary, but his sister is the only person who will always be by his side. The story strongly suggests that Aether and Lumine have no other family and even their homeworld was destroyed. The two are very close to each other to the point that even their fighting styles are complementing one another.
Speaking of fighting, the Traveller possesses a lot of confidence in his combat skills and is always up for any challenge. As a fast learner, it seems he can do almost everything with enough practice and people often admire him for his skill. However, sometimes he rushes into impossible fights (especially when under strong emotions) and likely wouldn't make it out alive from them if it wasn't for his companions or other people who help him.
Abilities & Inventory:
Abilities:
♦ Resonating with elements - The traveler can resonate with elements when touching one of the statues of the Seven. Currently there are three elements Aether can control: Anemo (wind), Geo (earth) and Electro (thunder). With Anemo element, the traveler can summon small gusts of wind; with Geo he can create boulders that he can then climb on and with Electro he can summon waves of lighting to strike his opponents.
♦ Purification - The exact extend or origin of this power is unknown, but Aether is shown to have an ability to purify corruption with his close presence alone. This ability was used primarily to deal with corruption caused by the Abyss Order and a cursed sword called Festering Desire, that Aether received from Albedo. It is unknown if he can use it to purify anything that is not related to the Abyss Order or Khaenri'ah, so he will likely not use this ability here.
♦ Original power (currently lost) - Before coming to Teyvat, Aether and his sister could travel to different worlds freely and possessed an ability to fly. It is possible they had more powers other than that, but they were stripped of all of them by the unknown god. Aether states that he is slowly regaining his powers but since they are mostly unknown, they will not be used by him in Songerein.
Inventory:
♦ A simple sword
Suitability & Plans:
Aether has traveler to many worlds before and he's shown to adjust fast to new situations and experiences. Although he prefers to not open up to others too much, he easily forms friendships. The dreams might take him some time to get used to, but he's always determined to do what's necessary or best in his current situation. He also always has other people's best interests in heart and he's willing to do a lot for them.
I'm particularly interested in Aether's dreams and nightmares to be exposed to others, since that will help him grow closer to his friends. In canon, only Paimon, his closest companion, knows about the nightmares that trouble him so it would be nice if he learnt to confine in other people as well.
