if lupin had a genshin impact vision, what do you think it'd be?or do you think it would be a delusion? i personally think he'd be like the traveler and get to change elements, but that he'd like anemo (wind and freedom, thieves having the freedom to go where they want)

// Oh man, Lupin in Genshin is for sure something that I've thought about before lol

It would definitely be either Anemo or Hydro! Although, I am personally more leaning towards Hydro, since in the Genshin world, he'll definitely be from Fontaine, the nation of the Hydro Archon. Plus there's the lines from the Oceanid...

"Coveting the shapes of the living, pure water can take on many forms. [...] The power of water is its ability to take any shape…"

which mirrors what Lupin says about himself at the end of the first story!

“Why,” said he, “why should I retain a definite form and feature? Why not avoid the danger of a personality that is ever the same? My actions will serve to identify me.”

It may be possible that he somehow gets his hands on a delusion! Probably stole it from some poor Fatui guys... Hell, make it an Anemo delusion so we can both win and have both Hydro and Anemo on him.

Apart from his vision, if he were to be a playable Genshin character... definitely 5*, probably sustained or quickswap main dps! I would say sword for weapon type, but we already have quite a few hydro/sword characters... Maybe catalyst instead, but like Childe his attack animations are weapons formed from water, because that's cool.

His utility passive would be like... "chance to double the amount of gemstones when you craft them" or "not startle crystalflies and other animals when getting near them".

Some extra thoughts on Genshin Vision lore and Lupin below the cut because I have no self-control:

I originally had the thought that Lupin would be the type to gloat about his vision because receiving one of them is presented as a sign of favour from the gods. Although, thinking on it more and basing it off of some of the canon Genshin character voicelines about visions...

In this AU, I feel that his views on the gods might not be as positive? Assuming that most things plays out similar to canon, having there be gods in the world but yet still seeing and experiencing the abuse his mother receives might sour his opinions.

I'm just imagining little Raoul receiving a vision after stealing the Queen's Necklace and tries to sell it off along with the necklace for his mother lol. Perhaps only later on, he grows to be more accepting of the vision and the power it grants him.

(+ with how visions are connected to ambitions... Imagine Lupin going through 813's whole becoming-mad-with-power and then jumping into the ocean with the extra added tibit of having a Hydro vision.)
