Name: Neuvillette Door: Door Pass Canon: Genshin Impact Canon Point: Post Archon Quest Chapter 4: Act 5 Age: 500+ Appearance: here History: fandom wiki CR AU (Optional): n/a Personality: Positive Trait: Caring At the beginning of his story, Neuvillette, though not technically responsible for the well-being of the populous of Fontaine, seems to take their protection personally. He's shown to care and be deeply affected by the judgments he has to pass, remembering and apologizing to a Fontaine citizen whose father's death, though not his fault, still weighed heavy on his mind almost a decade later. Neuvillette, despite being extremely busy as the man who presides over every case, still makes time to take on and investigate certain cases that catch his attention. He introduced a non-human species to Fontaine called Melusines and he deals personally with any case where a Melusine is threatened. He goes out of his way and puts himself in harm's way a multitude of times in order to protect those he cares about and Fontaine's population at large, considering it his duty. He may not be able to express how much he cares but his actions speak volumes and earn him the love and respect of the people of Fontaine. Negative Trait: Lawful In Teyvat, every dragon seems obsessed with their own unique principle or concept. Another dragon, for example, is fixated on contracts. Anyone who breaks a contract will pay the price. Neuvillette is focused on the law being upheld and justice being served in accordance with the law. This may sound like a positive trait, but he's a quintessential representation of lawful neutral. Regardless of the circumstances that drove a person to commit a crime, if somebody breaks the law and is found guilty then they must be punished according to the law. Was someone starving and that's why they stole bread? Did a person hurt someone out of self-defense? Was the perpetrator a child? It doesn't matter, they will be tried and, if guilty, they will be sentenced like anybody else. Neuvillette believes in this so completely that he's reluctant to get close to anybody where he's from because he knows that one day he may have to preside over their trial. His staunch desire to see the law upheld doesn't mean that his personal beliefs and feelings always align with the law, either a particular law's validity or having to ignore the circumstances that led to the law being broken. In fact, there have been many occasions where Neuvillette has felt great sadness and regret when having to fulfill his duty as judge, but he never lets his personal feelings interfere. More than just upholding the law, Neuvillette follows the law to a 't', even when he disagrees with them or disagrees with the powers who created the law. In Duplicity, he will do the same and strive to follow the laws of the city unerringly. Negative Trait: Expressionless Although Neuvillette cares deeply for people, expressing himself and his emotions is still something very alien to him. Neuvillette tends to be reserved and polite but comes off as aloof and sometimes blunt. Because his sentiments seem to lack obvious emotion, they tend to be interpreted as hollow and cold. Another character even calls him out for this, saying that she believes he's faking his feelings and only offering pretty words to try to placate her. These misunderstandings are frustrating for him as he expects people to take his words as the truth and he does feel deeply about these things, he's just unable to express himself. Negative Trait: Inhuman Neuvillette is ultimately a dragon stuck in a human body. Despite having 500 years to adjust to this, he still has a lot of inhuman tendencies. These generally shine through as a kind of self-imposed fish out of water feeling, or... dragon out of water. He still considers himself an outsider in Fontaine. He seems to have a skewed view of himself and, being an immortal creature, he tends not to completely understand humans and their motives. This can be seen when he's investigating a case and assumes the humans in Fontaine still have a similar distrustful view of the race he introduced to the city over 500 years ago when, in reality, the humans of Fontaine have completely integrated with the new race and can't imagine their city without them. Neuvillette, however, seems to think that sentiments and thoughts like that can't or won't change, and takes some time to be convinced of this. Nauvillette also struggles with understanding his own emotions and human reactions, needing to spend time reflecting on and trying to decipher them. In Duplicity, he'll also be experiencing things like kissing, arousal and sex for the first time and he'll be very curious to see how his actions are reacted to by humans. Powers and Abilities: - hydrokinesis: he can create and manipulate water, this is usually in blasts of water but it could also be in waves or bubbles of water. he can also manipulate existing water, literally moving gallons of it. - hydroempathy: by touching water, he can feel the emotions of others touching the same water source, so if it's raining, he can feel the emotions of those around him. likewise, touching sweat/tears/other liquids would also let him feel the emotions of the person the liquid is also touching (I'm happy to adjust this in duplicity to be less intrusive and require him to have some kind of permission to do this) - crying rain: this is less of a power or ability and more something that just kind of happens because he's a hydro dragon. Neuvillette cannot cry, instead, when he feels sadness, he makes it rain in his vicinity. the rain shower occurs suddenly, even if there were no clouds before, and encompasses an area of about 100 ft radius from Neuvillette. the rain occurs as if it were a regular rain shower and has to form in the sky or somewhere where weather can naturally occur - it never forms inside of buildings or in caves for example. - keen hearing: it's shown to be better than humans, being able to hear whispers from across a room that humans can't - legalese: neuvillette is the judge of fontaine. he's used to courtroom procedures and the legal process Inventory: A black cane, a tome, a small pouch of mora (basically a coin purse with a bit of money in it) Samples: TDM
