#fun fact: i cannot talk about atla without my wife making it painfully obvious that he has the hots for atla

[soildmud]

cringe genshin oc (>_o)/ !!!

hai um i want to post art of my genshin oc but idk if anyone would want to see that…..

his name is atlahua (atla for short) and he’s from natlan but currently resides in sumeru after escaping from his father and is temporarily living in a camp outside sumeru city LMAO

some info about him: he is a longtime champion of the pilgrimage & the night warden wars, but not by choice. he wasn’t born reptilian, it was the result of a resurrection gone wrong (idk if that can actually happen, but i like to imagine that he his resurrection was corrupted by the abyss), and when he was younger he forcibly left natlan in order to study in the akademiya, cursing him with a longer lifespan he and his family were never aware of (IF the theory that natlan natives are unable to leave the nation due to the possibility of being cursed is true—although, idk if that would be as severe for atla, since his father is from fontaine). the darshan he studied under was kshahrewar, and he was childhood friends with kaveh (though they were never as close as haikaveh were, at least in atla’s eyes). he is currently a professor in the akademiya, and also has his own smaller schools in the desert that he teaches in (^_^)!

i do want to mention that i Am a yumeshipper, and i actually ship atla with kaveh and alhaitham 😔 truthfully i wanted it to be unrequited love in the sense that atla never tells kaveh or alhaitham how he feels because he believes that his bond with either of them will never amount to what haikaveh have with each other (which, in a sense, is true </3) HOWEVER my wife didn’t want that so unfortunately that idea only lives on as an au ☹️

and as a final tidbit that i didnt know where to put, atla’s pronouns are he/him, he’s a trans guy, and he’s bi 👍🏽 AND ALSO HE’S GOT AUDHD (autism+adhd) AND HSAM (highly superior autobiographical memory)

anyway sorry about the yapfest i just rly like my oc and hope in the future that i can post more art and writings regarding him and his story—especially his relationships with other characters+his family! hope y’all don’t mind ^_^
