◆: XIAO :◇

- Character Introduction -
Xiao is an adeptus, under the name Alatus, and the sole surviving member of the five foremost Yakshas dispatched by Morax to subdue the demonic spirits that plagued Liyue. He currently resides at Wangshu Inn and mostly restrains himself from large crowds and social interactions.

Perhaps if you offer him a plate of Almond Tofu, he’d be more willing to show himself.

About Them

Personality: Xiao is a mysterious and secretive person. He has a reserved demeanor and has little intention of getting close to mortals. He does not want sympathy for his past and believes his fellow Yakshas would also find it insulting. Despite suffering from constant karmic debt, Xiao is highly resilient towards its alluring corruption, as his fellow Yaksha have either succumbed or died to it. Due to this debt, he prefers being alone and rarely involves himself in mortal affairs; in the few times he does have to, he asks they get to the point for their own sake. Xiao is unfamiliar with many human customs and societal norms, often finding them strange, childish, or pointless. To others, he can come off as distant and intimidating.
Deep down, Xiao is a gentle soul who is curious about humanity, but is hesitant to show that side of himself due to his past experiences and his karma-ridden constitution.

Abilities

Special Powers/Abilities: It is described that if any mortal witnesses Xiao unleashing his true power, it is certain to be under the direst of circumstances — and they will be extremely lucky if they survive the ordeal. Xiao wages a constant war against dark forces powerful enough to devour Liyue in its entirety, any bystanders who witness him in the heat of battle are likely to end up as collateral damage.
Along with thousands of years of combat experience, Xiao is able to harness the power of wind from his Anemo Vision. When donning his Yaksha mask, his strength in a battle increases immensely, but at the cost of his own life force.
Weapon(s): Primordial Jade Winged-Spear; a jade polearm made by the archons, capable of slaying ancient beasts.
Extra: Xiao is able to teleport and jump extreme heights. He is incredibly fast, durable and agile and possesses a great amount of strength compared to his size. His senses are also heightened, including his sight, hearing and smell.
