TRAGIC SPIDER-MAN-ESQUE BACKSTORY:
Just like in-game, Rerir was a young man with his fiancée Tholindis whom he loved to DEATH, but Rerir was a military man, and the Khaeneri’ahn government (I’ll modernize teyvat too) created a squadron dedicated to eliminating the descendants of the previous dynasty out of the king’s growing paranoia.
Time went on and more innocents died from the king’s command, and Rerir led a squadron of heartless soldiers, ignoring their pleas and cries.
The files for the target..
THOLINDIS WAS THE NEXT TARGET.
And at the same time, his friend’s little brother, the Twilight Sword, said that the king has imprisoned his older brother.
Rerir’s life was going down the drain.
So he and the Twilight sword, Dainsleif brought three more capable khaeneri’ahns to the scene.
Hypotratyr, the president of the Universitas Magistrorum.
Rhinedottir, an alchemist who attained the pinnacle of both knowledge and alchemical prowess.
And last but not least, Surtarlogi, who studied the art of bladework alongside Dainsleif.
Together, they devised a plan to rescue Dain’s brother, Vedrfolnir, and stop the mad king once and for all. And from then on, only chaos ensued. The memories were fuzzy, but Rerir remembered himself fighting monsters for others until he found his beloved Tholindis in a run down lab. She was doing something though and before he knew it, she told him “Don’t worry darling, you won’t have to face the pain of killing me yourself.’’ Before he could react, the place blew up. It killed Tholindis and burnt Rerir, who just witnessed his lover explode in front of his eyes.
Suddenly, he ran away from this, he was running out of Khaenri’ah. He wasn’t going to die. He wasn’t going to suffer. He was going to live on for her, for Tholindis. It’s what she would’ve wanted, right?
Young man with severe burn scars found just outside of Khaenri’ah
Rerir had just made the news, in this new area, he at least thought he was gonna get free shelter. Apparently, that was WAY too much to do in Fontaine. He was IMMEDIATELY interviewed and asked uncomfortable questions, like : “Do you think the Cataclysm could’ve been prevented?” It was amazing how fast people came up with a name for the event that fast.
In the outskirts of Nod-krai lives a man named Rerir. He is very private about his past and gets extremely touchy when you ask him how he got his burn scars. He moved here 11 years ago due to Fontainians asking about sensitive matters and the media overall didn't give him any privacy. Rerir likes to fish. Sometimes he gets big fish, and other times he got none. That was the way of life.
“I wish things could’ve been this simple.”
Sadly, things aren’t so simple.
