GUIDELINES

  001.   Please do not godmod, metagame, or control my characters without my explicit permission. This includes forcing serious injuries, relationships, death, or anything else that could be considered a major alteration to the character -- if you are considering any of the things previously stated, please communicate with me ooc beforehand. Generally, I am pretty open to any kind of plot or event as long as it's brought to my attention beforehand.  002.   Please feel free to contact me regarding any form of connections or relationships with this muse (preferably by pinging me in server). I am always looking for more muse relationships, more opportunities to roleplay, and chances to develop my muses.  003.   Please avoid ooc drama or excessive ic hate/harassment/etc. I have no desire to engage in either of those things, and will not do so. Constructive criticism, however, is always welcome! If I do something in or out of character that upsets, hurts, or otherwise is harmful to another person, please bring it to my attention in a civilized manner. I will make sure the behavior is not repeated and apologize to anyone involved. We all make mistakes, and I hope to foster communication between myself and anyone else who can benefit from doing so. In the same way, I will politely reach out if something is wrong. :)  004.   Generally, I am not super focused on NSFW/ERP, but as this muse is an adult there are a few boundaries to discuss. The most important thing to remember is that communication is key. Please discuss with me ahead of time before engaging in anything NSFW with any of my muses, and be clear if you are interested in that type of relationship between our potential muses. Feel free to dm me to discuss if this is the case, so that we can discuss the dynamics and plan the relationship/encounter ahead of time. I do NOT do nonconsensual ERP of ANY KIND, so don't suggest it or ask. That is a hard, 100% no, 100% of the time. Other than that, I am always open to communication and discussion of limits, comforts, and dynamics.  005.   Please only ping me one time per response, preferably in a separate message from the reply. I ask for that specifically because Discord has a feature that highlights any @ mention/ping messages in yellow, and it makes them more difficult for me to read. Of course, this isn't mandatory, just something that is a quality of life detail that makes it easier for me to see, as I'm fairly photosensitive. Occasionally, I do take a while to respond. I promise I haven't forgotten to, I just am generally pretty busy because of work. I will get to my replies as soon as I can, and I will respond eventually, as long as you ping me once the reply/starter is sent.

DILUC RAGNVINDR

- External
  FROM AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE   Diluc is a mature and aloof man, one who seems to hold a reservation that separates him from other people. He handles everything with a cool grace, keeping those around him at arm's length. He has a notable dislike for the Knights of Favonius, the faction being one of the only things he vocally expresses disdain for. However, he has an appreciation for those who work hard, even those who are aligned with the Knights. Diluc willfully complements the Knights and expresses his gratitude when their actions are genuinely protecting Mondstadt and its people, which is one thing he makes a point to stress the importance of.
He seems suited for ownership of the Winery, easily handling the trials that his life provides. He is kind and gentle with those around him, and always makes an effort to be respectful. However, he tolerates no discussion of the past, and will shut down or dismiss anyone who attempts to bring it up. Diluc often makes himself scarce when the topic is breached, mostly in an attempt to keep his temper under control. Despite the hefty emotional weight brought upon him by the discussion of the past, he tries his best to spare other people his pain-- keeping it to himself- and hidden away- as much as possible.- Internal
  AT HIS CORE, DILUC IS   a gentle, compassionate kind of person. He holds within a surprising amount of emotional turmoil, especially when pertaining to the death of his father-- as he has never truly been able to move past his grief. He keeps it as internal as possible, hiding those feelings away from the outside world. When they are forcibly brought up, however, he struggles to keep his temper under control. It is for that reason that he keeps himself withdrawn from other people, preferring to protect them from a distance. Still, he no longer holds reservations for his vision, at the very least-- allowing it to bolster his convictions and internal passion, rather than cloud it. He has an inner drive, honed by the passage of time and his worldly experiences-- he burns with a bright fire once more, though all that most people are allowed to see are the smoldering coals that lay in its wake.

  HEADCANONS      —  One. 
Diluc is a rather generous person, putting most of his wealth back into the infrastructure and preservation of Mondstadt's various towns. Though he still makes a rather incredible profit, his first priority will always be keeping the people of Mondstadt safe and cared for. Much like his nightly vigilante activities, he keeps his nature as a benefactor out of the public eye-- though, it's not exactly a secret when large somes of money end up in the hands of the people who need it most.

  HEADCANONS    —   Two. 
Because of his nightly activities as a vigilante, Diluc is quite the insomniac. Even when he isn't out all night protecting Mondstadt and its people from the Abyss, he constantly struggles with sleeping through the night-- both due to habit, and because of recurring nightmares. He sleeps considerably better when he has someone to watch his back, but he very rarely, if ever, allows anyone that close to himself-- mostly as he knows everyone has their own motivations and reasons for getting close to someone in his situation.

  WRITING SAMPLE    

Diluc digs his heel into the dirt in front of him, pushing himself into a hefty swing of his claymore. The swing collides head-on with the Abyss Mage before him, the thing letting out a shrill shriek as the fires of his vision consume the blade. He drives it forward, the heat blossoming in his face as he completes the swing. Mercifully, his mask protects him from the brunt of the warmth, but that doesn't change the sheer power of the strike. The creature dissolves beneath his blade, reduced to ash.

His face twists in disgust, a half-sneer that almost looks foreign on the face of the nobleman.

With a heavy exhale, the expression drops and he straightens himself up. Diluc throws his claymore over his shoulder, resting the blade in its back scabbard without a word. He chews on the inside of his cheek, giving a wide visual sweep to the area of the woods in front of him. The stars illuminate him in the absence of his fire, moonlight streaming faintly through the branches of the trees.

Once he's certain that was the last of them, he turns his back to the soot-stained ground, brushing his hand against the trunk of a tree-- he steps over its roots with ease, slowly trailing his way back to the winery.
On his way, firey eyes flicking over to every shadow he passes, he walks in quiet contemplation. His work is done for the night, but some part of him can't quell his disappointment; when he is striking down the creatures of the abyss, when he's giving in to the fight, it's much easier to feel that he's doing everything he can. It's easier to feel that he's keeping people safe-- in a way that is physical, tactile, and concrete. Even if he doesn't recieve recognition for it, acting exclusively from the shadows.. well, that's fine by him. He doesn't want the attention.

In this way, at least, he can put his strength to use, and put aside the corruption found in the warriors of the day.

Really, that's all he can ask for. Someone has to do it. It may as well be him.
