this is the discussion thread for age of calamity!

just as an fyi, our characters can be anywhere from 16 to 25. meanwhile, archons can be thousands upon thousands of years old, and can look however they'd like!

intelligent, sociablek, dutiful, some might call kento a workaholic. he is rarely seen away
from the food stall, but he doesn't mind. he likes the bustling business - its able to keep
him distracted. on the side, he's known to help cure others' ailments with his vision. out
side of those he is familiar with, kento might appear as cold or reserved, and seemingly
seems to have no personality, but it just takes awhile for him to get warmed up is all.

✧ ─── while his name is kiu, a traveler once came to his parents shop many years ago, and the traveler called kiu "kento". being young and impressionable, he decided he liked it better than kiu. he doesn't mind if his close friends call him kiu though. if anyone else calls him kiu he feels like he's being berated.

✧ ─── after nearly dying, he permanently just appears tired... all the time. he has eyebags and is pretty cold to the touch, but nevertheless, alive. this is likely due to the fact that his vision saved him on the bring of death.

✧ ─── he's very good with a polearm, as he used one frequently growing up. however, his skills (aka his hydro vision) is mostly used for ally defense, healing and crowd controlling enemies.

✧ ─── this guy CONSTANTLY snacks. super duper metabolism.

✧ ─── he is a youkai, and its painfully obvious. he cannot hide the large ears that call his head their home. despite kento thinking he's good at withholding emotions, his ears constantly betray him.

✧ ─── he's super open and affectionate towards his friends (aka... pretty much only olivier). to those he's unfamiliar with, it takes a long time for him to get comfortable. however, kids are his soft spot. no matter who he is around, he will BEND to any childs will, no matter how foolish it makes him look.

✧ ─── he adores kids in liyue. he tries to entertain them with dramatic stories, or showing off some hydro skills (even though they aren't too impressive) to make the kids laugh.

✧ ─── before his families passing, around people he knews, he was basically a puppy. he was dumb, only wanted praise and affection, and did literally anything to make others happy. since coming out of the sickness, he's pretty stoic, almost emotionless. no longer the childish, carefree kento he used to be.

✧ ─── due to his visions nature, he often tends to peoples wounds when they don't want to go see a doctor. most of the time he does this voluntarily, but if someone continually comes back with scrapes and bruises, he gives them a stern talking to.

✧ ─── is a MASTER chef. his parents began teaching him to cook as soon as possible, when kento was around the age of 5. his entire childhood was growing up in the shop of his parents, helping run food, occasionally cook, and then eventually completely taking over the kitchen and letting his parents do the easier jobs.

a survivor of the archon wars and an antiquity of a bygone
era - ronove has always been a natural leader and his repu
tation as a warrior god was well-known throughout teyvat.
he exudes a cold, authoritative aura and due to his heaven
ly principle, generally follows a "the weak should obey the
strong" type of mindset. because his people always saw hi
m as a dragon, a victor, a hero, but never an individual wit
h human emotions of his own, he began to detach from th
ese emotions long ago. he also carries all his burdens by hi
mself, never confiding in others; essentially, he let godhoo
d define his personage and even after leaving natlan, has r
efused to integrate with human society, effectively becomi
ng a hermit in the years that followed the incident. overall
it's fairly obvious that ronove has lived far too long, worn d
own by all the history he has been a witness to. yet still he
carries on, not once straying from the path laid before him.

✦ ─── he is, like many of his people, a dragon.
✦ ─── since leaving natlan and adopting a human persona, he goes by the a
lias "necalli" to avoid recognition.
✦ ─── emotionally stunted? emotionally stunted.
✦ ─── has formed few close attachments, believing that some distance is n
eeded between a god and one's subjects.
✦ ─── in formal settings and as a god, he uses the royal "we" pronouns to r
efer to himself. as a "human", he uses he/him/his pronouns.
✦ ─── he ruled natlan with an iron fist, causing opinions to be divided as h
e was seen as both a tyrant who could not understand the human heart, and
a steadfast protector of his people.
✦ ─── rather than giving up natlan willingly, ronove gradually lost his grip o
n it and was eventually ousted from authority. he still thinks he should have
stayed in power.
✦ ─── a man of few desires, wishes, or ambitions... whether because he d
oes not know what he, as his own person, wants, or because he has grown s
o used to putting his own individual needs behind him, not even he can say.
✦ ─── anyone who knew ronove before the archon wars would have descri
ibed him as kind - but something changed in him afterwards. though he cam
e out a victor, he was forever changed by the war.

heir to the de lalune family fortune, one of the wealthiest families in tevyat. olivier and his f
amily did not originate from liyue, but loved its culture and people so much that they made
it their home. the de lalune family contributed immensely to the industrialisation of liyue, a
nd many of its citizens would often owe it to them for liyue's ever-thriving economy. olivier
owns many estate around liyue, but favours to settle in liyue harbour. one could always kno
w he is in town when the sound of a party would echo throughout the night from his estate

carefree, calm, and soft-spoken, olivier is a
man who would rather flow alongside the ti
des than to fight it. his rather relaxed attitu
de makes olivier fairly approachable, and he
's always welcome for a small chat if one is i
nclined. due to his opulent and wealthy upb
ringing, olivier is quite socially tone deaf. h
e thinks that if you throw enough mora at a
problem, it will go away without any conseq
uences. despite this, olivier generally means
well to the people around him, regardless of
social, cultural, and economic background'x

when he is not busy tending to his green
house and the various exotic plants withi
n it, olivier is often found roaming in and
around chihu rock, jumping from restaur
ants to restaurants, shopping for the late
st jewelleries and fabrics. olivier is a freq
uent patron of yangshang teahouse, no d
oubt to play more than a few rounds of c
asino. olivier's mansion is almost never e
mpty during nighttime, for he frequently
hosts open invite parties that would ofte

'
✦x though he may not look it, olivier is a businessman through and through!! lives and dies for
✦x corporate due diligence, and a champ at contract drafting and negotiations

✦x although calm and collected, olivier isn't shy by any means. he loves any and all social scenes
✦x irrespective of the people and the place

✦x dendro dps. with his vision, olivier is able to summon massive roots and vines to barrage enemies
✦x from afar

✦x the type to pay for everyone's food because he does not have the time to be bothered to split
✦x the bill. olivier would then say "you can pay me back any time"

✦x would then forgot that he said that. he won't even accept the payment anyway

✦x avid plant collector. likes to wind down in his greenhouse after a busy meeting, or after a late
✦x night cocktail party

✦x almost always buys out kento's shop. olivier probably spends as much money on kento's food
✦x stall as he did gambling in yanshang teahouse

✦x has repeatedly offered kento to work at his house as his personal chef. that offer
✦x has never been accepted, much to olivier's dismay

✦x "look, i already come to your shop everyday, so why not move in with me? you don't
✦x even have to work!"

✦x a shopaholic fr, if that's not obvious enough. either it be new exotic plants, clothes, even ships.
✦x though olivier is a big spender, he's a bigger moneymaker

✦x he is always evasive when asked of his family's business: "hm. a lot. property development,
✦x and some other stuff. i know we do mining. and shipping too, or did we get tired of it?"

✦x because of this, hushed whispers speak that olivier's mother, an influential yet elusive figure who
✦x is seldom seen in public, is a member of liyue qixing. olivier is ambivalent towards these rumours

him wherever he goes. hey, do you want him to
tell you where you are on the map? to be cleaned
up, but i wanted to get the basics down. pardon
the mess! ──

── the cold; reserved, quiet, and rather shy. he
isn't one to talk to someone a lot, but when he is
talking it's hard to tell if he's talking to you or
talking out loud to no one at all. a habit of out
loud commenting on what's going on, if you want
to hear his commenting or not ── if he is talking
to you, sorry, but it's maybe one sentence or two.
he's to the point and doesn't like to say a lot when
he can say a little and you can get what he's
saying just the same ── and he's blunt with it. he
is a literal person with what he is saying, will not
say something that he does not mean and will
think the same of what you're saying to him. if he
is telling a joke, though, he will tell you that it's a
joke when he's saying it to you ── but if it's some
thing that he's studying, like history or geography,
he will talk to you for hours and hours. or at you,

really, if you're not listening to him. he will talk just the same ── his face isn't what's cold though, not at all. he is expressive with his face and you can tell just what he is feeling through it. there is a smile on his face a lot of the time and he will laugh a loud laugh at a joke you tell, when he can tell that it's a joke ── them not talking to you isn't them not liking you though. really, they like a lot of the people in the party a lot, and the people that are their favorite are the people that they will stay with for a lot of the time. not talking to them really, just there to stay with them. kind of clingy with their favorite people ── bad bad bad with decisions and will try to think of what the best decision is for too long, to where they don't decide at all. "left or right?" "left. ... no, right. right. ... left, let's go left. right. no, left." ── you are in for a LOT of questions when they want to know something that you know, though, and will write down what you tell them. they're writing down a lot of what they see and what the party say to them on the journey to see celestia. it's like writing down the history of it to them, and their favorite people are the main characters in it ── geo vision, his weapon is a bow and arrow. he is having the time of his life studying it and trying to know what he can do with it ──
