AU WORKSHOP
Welcome to Aeternas' AU Workshop! We're thrilled to have you here! On this post, players are encouraged to make connections and build their AUs together. While there is a cap of one character per player, you are allowed to workshop multiple characters and enable each other. For plot related reasons, all characters will be starting out in Mondstadt, this will be updated as the story progresses. For any extra information, you can check out the premise, locations, and power pages for a better understanding of the setting. As of now, only Mondstadt has a detailed description of locations- but you can assume that the businesses and other relevant locations in each nation is still there within the city (like Wanmin Restaurant for example, as this AU is modeled heavily after OU Teyvat.) These will be detailed later as we get further through the story, when characters finally travel to these nations.
Once an AU has been chosen, please create an information page with all the relevant AU info for your character along with permissions (or a link to an existing permissions post) on your journal. This will be asked for on the Taken page for a quick reference to your character's AU info. When you've finally decided on your AU, please comment to the Taken page so we can add you to the roster!
Please comment to the post with the form below and plot away! This post will remain permanent, so any new players that join after the initial opening are still welcome to use this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the mod comment here!

Diloo Ragbinder
Character name: Diluc Ragnvindr
AU Name: n/a
AU Age: 22? 25?
Nation: Mondstadt
Element: Pyro
Constellation Location: back of his left hand for no particular reason
Weapon: Claymore
AU Occupation: Owner and Board Member at Large, Dawn Winery; Bartender, Angel's Share (which is, of course, owned by the Dawn Winery); Vigilante.
About:
🔥 Born into the prestigious Ragnvindr family, owners of the Dawn Winery.
🔥 Mother died when he was very young; he has very few memories of her.
🔥 Attended university in Mondstadt (probably the same one all y'all are in now), and was considered a bright and promising student. He was in several student organizations, including chess club.
🔥 Just after his graduation, his father died under mysterious circumstances. The police ultimately ruled the death a suicide.
🔥 Diluc knows it wasn't a suicide. It was both a mafia hit and a police cover-up. He just doesn't know why, and he falls off the grid for a few years digging into it. Ultimately, his search nets no answers, but it does make him persona non grata status in parts of the city. He's almost killed at one point, but is saved by a group of underground informants that take him in for awhile and help him get his shit together.
🔥 He re-emerges, and now HE IS VENGEANCE. HE IS THE NIGHT.
Do NOT call him the Darknight Hero, please and thank you.🔥 As owner of the Dawn Winery, he is considered competent and is heeded when he chooses to get involved in the day-to-day workings of the business. However, he's often a degree or two removed from it, leaving things in the care of CEO Adelinde and COO Elzer.
🔥 The reason he's somewhat detached is because he has not given up his mission to learn about what happened to his father and also fight back against the sort of corruption and criminal behavior that led to his father's death in the first place. It's why he sometimes bartends at Angel's Share despite owning it. Bars are good places to gather intel.
🔥 He's considered The Most Eligible Bachelor in Mondstadt, a status that vexes and confuses him--but that he does not go to any great lengths to dissuade. It's a good cover story.
🔥 Something something complicated relationship with Kaeya. Details TBD if we get a Kaeya.
Looking for:
🔥 People who work with him on the ~underground vigilante~ stuff.
🔥 People who only know him via his public persona.
🔥 Past college friends/rivals/acquaintances.
🔥 Anyone who can get him to LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP.
🔥 also, EVERYTHING. GIMME ALL THE CR.

Grump and Happy is one of my favorite types of CR so I'd love to offer Yoimiya as a future friend. Maybe she could have met him at some fancy rich/famous person party if Diluc attends those? I can also see Yoimiya going to him for advice on how to efficiently run a business?

Diluc would absolutely attend a rich/famous person party, and he 100% put together a full dossier on her when she came to Mondstadt just to make sure she's not going to be a Problem for him. You never know what famous people do in their free time...
(sorry he's so suspicious, it's nothing personal)
