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!

Shikanoin Heizou
Character name: Shikanoin Heizou
AU Name: Shikanoin Heizou
AU Age: 23
Nation: Inazuma
Element: Anemo
Constellation Location: low on the left side of his hip
Weapon:
THESE HANDSa pair of leather gauntlets of some kind, something to protect the knuckles while punching. maybe later down the line he can pick up something that'll give him further reachAU Occupation: special detective for the Inazuma Police Commission
About:
Mostly pretty similar to his canon counterpart! Trained in martial arts as a kid, ran away from home at a young age, eventually joined the police force and became the youngest detective in the country (with a reputation to match). Heizou's charismatic and cheerful, seemingly pretty laid back for someone in his position. But he's also incredibly observant, often to the point of being a little creepy. And if you pay attention that cheerful smile is definitely hiding a sharper edge. Like, why doesn't anybody know anything about him outside of his reputation? Also how is he not recognizable as the Cyclone Detective on sight?
Despite the fact that he should be an extremely busy detective, somehow he always seems to be found wandering around on his own like he's a tourist on a stroll. And yet he also manages to keep his job. The fuck. His poor supervisors.
In his downtime he's also part of the university soccer team! He doesn't actually go to school there, but he hung around so long and played with the rest of the team so much that he's sort of unofficially officially on it. He's good, too, but mostly he only plays to have fun and decompress. And maybe also as a way to stay in shape and sort of keep up his martial arts training.
Also beware: he's a big playful flirt. Most of the time he doesn't actually mean it, he just occasionally likes to wax poetic and watch people squirm under the attention. But a casual hookup every now and then isn't all that unusual for him either...
He's probably ended up in Mondstadt as a result of just. Going along with the soccer team for one of their Away games, mostly out of sheer curiosity and wanting to travel (his supervisors will love that). And while he's there, maybe he'll sit in on a few classes that interest him. He's young enough (and looks younger) to blend in with the other students just fine! Maybe he can also bump into some old friends/colleagues before having to go back to Inazuma.
Looking for:
ANYTHING! Fellow nosy investigators, soccer teammates, exasperated coworkers/supervisors... Gimme everything!

Heizou met Bennett once while he was doing a vlog series in Inazuma. Bennett somehow got himself in trouble thanks to his bad luck, he accidentally ended up somewhere he shouldn't have been or maybe got caught in an incident somewhere, something like that, and Heizou's detective work actually got him off the hook.

May I offer (one) fireworks girl as an old buddy he knew in Inazuma? Maybe they could have gone to the same highschool/middle school or maybe have been same elementary school babies in the past.

Re: Shikanoin Heizou

HONESTLY he probably doesn't mind vigilantes! at least not as long as they're not KILLING the criminals themselves... and he probably doesn't tell his police coworkers he thinks that way just in case a bunch of them are all dicks about it. :P i'm totally down for them to have bumped into each other before. maybe heizou helped make sure he got away from the scene before anyone else could catch up?
