Chongyun is an exorcist from the country of Liyue. He comes from a long line of respected exorcists, and has dedicated his time to train and continue his clan’s exorcism legacy. He is a calm, stoic, and composed individual, who has a rather serious disposition and a polite manner of speaking. Many of the citizens of Liyue have described him as having “a heart of clear water, and a face of ice.” However, Chongyun has an unusual side to him; he was born with an extremely rare condition known as Congenial Positivity, which grants him a pure-yang spirit. Such a constitution means that he acts as a natural deterrent against ghosts and evil spirits, and can banish even the most stubborn of spirit with just his presence alone. Unfortunately, this also means he has never banished a ghost with his own hand or even seen a spirit with his own eyes, a fact that he often laments. After all, what kind of exorcist has never even seen an evil spirit?
Another side-effect of his pure-yang spirit is that he is actually overabundant in positivity, meaning he is extremely susceptible to outside influence and emotional outbursts. He has to actively and constantly control his emotions to keep himself calm and steady, and has to stay away from anything “heated” (which includes high temperatures, spicy foods, rousing music, and heated arguments). If he does end up triggering a “flare up” in his pure-yang spirit, one of two things could happen. He could either fall unconscious due to the shock to his system, or he could black out and succumb to emotional outbursts and impulses. He does not have any recollection of these episodes, but second-hand reports say that he becomes a boisterous, “life of the party” kind of individual, and partakes in activities such as dancing on tables with his greatsword, running around chasing his friends as if they are evil spirits, and yelling “everything’s on me tonight!” regardless of if he has money or not. Most people find this to be very amusing, but Chongyun finds these acts of “public buffoonery” quite embarrassing.
I think Chongyun could be fun to bring to Songerein! I am especially eager to see how his pure-yang spirit could be used here, since he both does and doesn’t really have good control over his emotions (I can imagine him accidentally leaving a trail of ice wherever he goes, or bursts of firework excitement whenever he goes pure-yang). He would also take the nightmare threat very seriously and do his best to clear out any “evil sleep spirits”, like a responsible exorcist should. So I think he could be a lot of fun here!
