#the more i think about this the more i appreciate chongyun FHSDJG he's so cool cmon. i love him

[pangyham]

thinking about chongyun in a dnd esque fantasy setting and he'd probably be a sorcerer paladin. i can't decide if he'd be a sorcerer or a wizard though, would his yang energy be considered innate magic? or would his upbringing in thaumaturgy make him a wizard? this actually brings up interesting questions about chongyun's lore aka whether or not his bloodline has magical ancestry. Is it innate or cultivated/learned throughout generations? ooo.. he could be a wild sorcerer, someone who struggles wielding their innate magic..

but anyway, xingqiu imo would be a rogue fighter maybe? more fighter than rogue... giving him the latter class just because he's a sneaky lil shit

it's easier to give chongyun and xingqiu dnd classes because their weapons and chara stories slot easily into the categories, but for characters who are generic fighters like xiangling and hu tao, it's a little hard to give them something specific. but it allows for some creative liberty so i will say hu tao is a wizard. Xiangling would be a ranger (good for hunting and foraging)

Gaming, my boy, would be a bard and a fighter. yunjin a bard, xinyan also a bard (they'd be a little troupe hehe).

I was watching dunmesh w a friend and we started talking about dnd and bg3. they're more well versed in fantasy terminology so i'm learning as i go. super fun to think about though. i quite adore dnd and fantasy settings a lot

#tangy talks genshin #mm i don't think i'll ever expand upon this au #i just like categorizing.. genshin's current “class” groups are too linear imo.. like yep this person wields a claymore #it's always fun to specify their roles a bit. i think combat abilities in fantasy settings creates lots of avenues for character identities #which just makes them a lot funner to construct... i appreciate this most in fiction. this is why i dont rly like modern aus if the source #material is fantasy sometimes. i think for chongyun's case though his yang energy could be translated to a neurodivergent trait eg autism #but the thing is chongyun to me is already autistic in the context of canon LOL so his yang energy is something a little bit separate- #-from that #wow these tags are long as hell #chongyun #xingqiu #hu tao #xiangling #yunjin #gaming #the more i think about this the more i appreciate chongyun FHSDJG he's so cool cmon. i love him
