#He grew up in Mondstadt and didn't fully regain his honkai memories till his late teens/ early 20s

[tea-cat-arts]

Oh ya, polls are a thing now! That might make this decision easier- So I'm making some "Honkai characters get reincarnated into Genshin and keep their honkai memories" AU designs and am debating some things

pros of keeping it: so I ignore the canon character models for the most part, and I'm a little worried about him still being recognizable as Kevin. I feel like his coat is the most iconic/immedietly recognizable part of his original design

pros of ditching it: Kevin started wearing his coat because of the parvati genes, and narratively it is very much linked to his time fighting against the honkai and more specifically, his trauma and the weight on his shoulders. Those aren't things he's going to have to constantly carry with him in this AU, so ditching the coat might serve as a nice visual separation from that.

Also, what vision? Not doing a poll cuz I actually kinda want to see peoples thought processes on this one (I'm gonna be doing a quick summary for what the values associated with the elements are on the side for those who might not know)

-Anemo (People who fight for freedom in some way, shape, or form. Most characters with anemo visions have been either physically or metaphorically trapped themselves at some point or another)

-Geo (People who are steady, reliable, and dependable. Geo vision holders also tend to be workaholics for the most part)

-Electro (hot women and/or jojo stand wielders People who's ideals in some way controdict societal norms)

-Dendro (Not enough dendro characters for me to really confirm that this is the pattern yet, but the ones we do have so far all seem to have a strong respect for life and narratives surrounding how to live/dream)

-Hydro (People who have dedicated themselves to some sort of craft)

-Pyro (pationate mfs)

-Cryo (People who suffer as the result of some sort of internal and/or external controdiction)

I have my top choices, but I kinda want to hear others thoughts before I go through with the design
