ORIGINS: Unknown dead world
FAMILY: Lumine (twin sister)
BIRTHDAY: September 28th (Genshin anniversary)
OCCUPATION: Traveler, adventurer

HISTORY: After his world was destroyed, Aether alongside his sister Lumine were sent off to travel the universe on a spaceship. They visited many different planets together, then one day ended up on Teyvat, with Lumine waking up before her brother and finding a new home in a nation called Khaenri'ah. When the Cataclysm threatened the nation, Lumine chose to run to her brother, wake him up and flee Teyvat, but the two of them were stopped by an unknown god, their powers were sealed and they were separated.

Aether woke up 500 years later, when the world changed and met Paimon, a strange, fairy-like being, who offered to become his guide in Teyvat as Aether searches for his sister.

PERSONALITY
ATTITUDE: Friendly and curious, somewhat secretive, especially when it comes to his origins and his family
QUIRKS: Will deadpan you with no hesitation
LIKES: Exploring, meeting new people, reading, learning new skills
DISLIKES: The Abyss, darkness, falling, feeling powerless
HOBBIES: Travelling, cooking, playing TCG, taking care of his teapot house

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Aether appears as a friendly and helpful young man. He's always up for any task and never says no to a challenge. Despite not talking too much (often leaving the talk to Paimon), he's soft-spoken most of the time and isn't afraid to speak his mind either. He's unafraid of gods or authorities, but will address those who earned it with respect. Aether is also often noted to be "handsome", "radiant" and "good-looking". Many people take note of his golden hair.

Despite the overall friendliness, one could notice that Aether rarely speaks of his origins, his worries or anything too personal. He can also get wary of someone the moment he notices anything suspicious or out of place about them, but usually chooses to observe instead of acting out on his suspicions.

MOTIVATIONS: Finding his sister and asking her why they can't travel together anymore, like they used to.

ABILITIES
RESONATING WITH ELEMENTS: The traveler can resonate with elements when touching one of the statues of the Seven. Currently there are six elements Aether can control: Anemo (wind), Geo (earth), Electro (thunder), Dendro (plant), Hydro (water) and Pyro (fire). Each element allows the traveler to perform an attack enhanced with the element of choice, so for example: a gust of wind with Anemo; creating a small boulder with Geo; striking with water (gun) with Hydro.

PURIFICATION: Aether is shown to have an ability to purify corruption caused by the Abyss with his close presence alone. It is currently suspected that rather than purifying anything, he actually can absorb abyssal energy into his body. He also possesses high resistance to abyssal corruption.

ORIGINAL POWER: Before coming to Teyvat, Aether and his sister could travel to different worlds freely via a spaceship (not really a power lol) and possessed wings that allowed them to fly. It is possible they had more powers 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 here.
PERMISSIONS
BACKTAGGING: I can backtag everything into eternity
THREADHOPPING: Sure
FOURTHWALLING: In game - no, thanks.
ROMANCE: I can ship everything, please romance this traveler. It may be a slow-burn, though
MINDREADING: Go for it. Wouldn't be the first time for him anyway.
MANIPULATION: Discuss with me!
FIGHTING: I'm bad at writing fights, but sure
INJURY: If it's something severe, let's discuss it! Minor injuries are fine.
KILLING: Discuss with me!

Feel free to contact for more information and plotting!
PREFERENCES
MEMES: Play all the memes with me. Favourites include all kinds of hurt/comfort, fluff, kissing, morning after, AU memes
PSLS: Same as above! I'm always open to PSLs, especially shippy ones.
AUS: I am always happy to brain some nice AUs!
DO NOT WANT: Smut threads (especially without any build up), possessiveness, jealousy plots
SHIPPING: I'm always open to shipping! Genshin, other Hoyo games, cross-canon ships - all good!
FAVOURITES FOR SHIPPING: Childe, Thoma, Lyney, Kaeya, Diluc, Kaveh, Heizou, Xiao, Kazuha, Tighnari, Furina, Gorou.
SMUT: I generally do not play smut, unless it has a lot of build up, there's a lot of communication between us etc. I have a lot of "absolutely nos" when it comes to smut, so I always appreciate the patience. I prefer fading to black when things get too heated up.
That said, I consider Aether a switch, who enjoys spoiling his partner. He may get a little competitive as well, but it all depends on the person he's with.
TAG STYLE: Default to brackets
TAG SPEED: I try to tag once a day
