rain wet with blessings permeates the rotted earth
i hope someday, the distant sky will become sunny

The fragile sprout of the late cosmic tree. No more tripping over roots. This is the direction spring should blow.

Reverdie already has their own dedicated carrd done up like a wikia page. please give it a read if you like Arknights lore!

gaze far and away, up into the starlit sky
into that distant, beautiful graveyard of desires

■■■■■■■■■ predecessor^{?̶̛͎͐͑͗}. The primordial sea embraces all life, devours all deserters. Dreaming in its emptiness, a wait in chaos is a peaceful hunt.

※ conceptualized this OC with inspos to parallel/conflict w the aeon ouroboros (jörmungandr, ananke, king of nāgas like mucalinda &shesha, mayb v extremely lowkey azathoth).
※ heavily WIP bc idk hi3 lore nor how the sea of quanta (assuming this is the primordial sea equivalent?) works. i'll figure things out as i go :')
※ as for how a being like raxia wouldn't have landed in deep shit &died long before main story starts,, i'm banking on meraki's help, raxia's ability to 'dream' &The Script^TM thank u for ur service elio.

_{A shapeless existence from the cradle of chaos,}
A cosmic serpent from the depths of the primordial sea,
_{born from necessity to the fate of new stars.}
awoke from an ageless dream to find the universe born.The empty sea will one day reclaim what once departed.
May the hunted &fallen drift amongst the snow.
The empty sea will one day reclaim what once departed.
The scholar who named his Ataraxia^hedonism by his own hand defiantly asks,
"By whose decree must I let go of a truth I found?"_{This world is full of lies, so let us find what the truth is worth together.}
"May the truths of the universe rest again in my hands."

this way, call me as the nights pass on and on
towards me, make this your final destination

Child of Fuli. Gather life's ashes into the urn, cherishment should not end here. Now, light another candle, walk on.

※ conceptualized this OC based on the idea that a person is a candle, burning with their lives -> a memokeeper who carries these candles forward &loves even the final wisp of smoke left behind + the fact that glass (fuli/memories) is made by melting sand (could also interpret people as grains of sand) in fire (emotions, ideals, hardship).
※ as remembrance emanators seem to be pure children of anāsrava who only have ice motifs thus far, i'm unsure what meraki is. the emanator label on them is subject to change.

An antique acquiring business owner who only takes clients who fit one of two criteria: searching for what could never be found again, or searching for something only the client themselves could find. In other words, an Emanator of Remembrance whose lantern illuminates the forgotten, whose urn stirs the ancient.
Whether burning passions or flickering candlelight, all is crystallized to warm those continuing the journey of life. Whether echoes of a bygone world or a simple everyman's ashes of ardor, all will rise again in the illusions of smoke. An oddball who doesn't squirrel away memories into The Garden, but rather travels with them or leaves Light Cones for others to discover- &hopefully benefit from.
A memetic entity who bases their manifestation off the concept of "candles", they're able to "conjure another self" from melted wax &"recombine into one", thus receiving all experiences &memory from the once split selves. Tingyun used to outsource some clients to the one near the Xianzhou Alliance. Later reunited with Fugue after being tasked by Yukong to trace Tingyun's memories, the two make another "transaction": to watch Fugue burn against the Aeons &cherish the ashes left behind.

how much longing must fall like snow,
before that spring day arrives?

Is it wisdom or cowardice to know not to step forward? Poor Sage, carry your wishes with a crown of petals. May you witness what couldn't bloom.

One of the previous Sages who tried to work with the wizards &overcome the Great Calamity. Though keen, efficient &good at gathering information, they are equally as anxious, withdrawn due to a fear of loss &an inability to believe in others.
A seed can sprout when planted in soil, but will always die without water. A relationship built on the understanding that neither will question "What are we?", this same blossom withered in stagnation exactly because neither dared to ask.
But a wilted flower is still beautiful when dried. 'Things don't need to change.'
'We can still comfort one another even like this.'
But if one day, even the husk of this flower were cruelly torn apart _{"Why did you leave?"}, memories faded ^{_{"It would be better if I forgot about you!"}}, mementos locked in an old box that was lost somewhere _{"But why can't I bear to?"}, only the silent stars will answer the vestiges of these scattered petals.
_{Why are you looking at me like that?}
"Who are you?"
_{...Don't you recognize me?}
....
_{Why do you have their face?}

※ as the fate of previous Sages is unclear (whether they managed to return to their world or died in mhyk world), i took a shot at "what if a Sage became something else within the mhyk world?"
※ qinian was murdered by the cult worshipping the Great Calamity. the spirits around them pitied them &helped qinian's final regret that they hadn't accomplished anything reach the last thing they saw- the Bloomshard Belt. they were reborn as an extension of it to carry out its functions of repairing the world after the Calamity's damage.
※ as magic is cast with the heart, something qinian ran away from in their previous life, they have no memories. by learning to confront their heart, which could only begin with owen coming to terms with his &who qinian was to him, they could restore their old identity. not before he has the crashout of the eons first though.

i ask myself once again, "are you happy?"
the answer is already set, "i'm happy."

"Home," & "a sense of belonging." What is the point of fostering such feelings when we, in no uncertain terms, with nary a say on when, where nor how, will part from one another?
'Don't allow me to hope.'
'Even the act of extending kindness can hurt.'
Despite the radiant warmth that shines above, summer is exactly when the sun is furthest from Earth.
This sandcastle is all I have. Don't give me anything more. Nothing deserves to be swept away with me when the waves come down.What does it mean to protect oneself?
What means does it take to protect someone else?
