GaMing

Personality

Gaming is an energetic young man who works for the Cofrespada Secure Transportation Agency. He has a very strong work ethic, enthusiastically completing everything his clients ask of him, and will fiercely protect his cargo regardless of the situation. He also enjoys beast dancing, something he practices regularly on a daily basis, with the goal of becoming a professional dancer. This practice has made him agile and proficient in martial arts, despite the numerous injuries he sustains while doing so. As such, he is well-liked by the people of Yilong Port, who see him as someone reliable and optimistic. In his youth, his energetic personality made him known as a troublemaker and an oddball. He is fond of his mother, has learned her way of speaking (which includes gesticulation) and carries her letter in a book she gave him, though he misses her long after her death. After his father showed him a beast dance, Gaming was inspired to become a dancer, which caused him to fall out with his father, who wanted him to continue the family business. This nearly resulted in a fistfight, though he ended up leaving home to fend for himself. His father had only been against the idea because he felt the family could support him, but after witnessing his show firsthand and speaking with Zhongli, he reconciled with him and agreed to let him follow his own path. Outside of work, if he's not practicing beast dances, Gaming likes to drink tea and eat small bites. He doesn't mind eating any food, as long as it tastes natural. (He has respect for his older brother and admires him a lot, he left many years ago to go to Natlan but he came back with him)

History

Born in Chiaoying Village, Gaming left his birthplace after a falling out with his father to pursue his passion and become a professional Wushou dancer, constantly training to make the dance popular throughout Teyvat. However, as his dream career proved to be financially unsustainable, he also took a job as a guard for a Secure Transportation Agency, primarily escorting goods and people to and from Yilong Port. His diligence and kindness have earned him renown, and he is considered the agency's best guard.

History

Gaming was born in Chiaoying Village, famous for its tea. His ancestors had been tea farmers for generations. It was not until his father, Yip Tak, came of age that his family turned to the tea trade. His parents worked together to run the family business, which prospered day by day. As a father, Yip Tak hoped that his son would inherit the business. Thanks to his father’s work, Gaming would not have to work as a farmer like his ancestors, nor start a business from scratch. But as the saying goes, “like father, like son”: just as his father had not followed in his grandfather’s footsteps in tea cultivation, Gaming also chose his own path. He and his father were at an impasse, and neither accepted the other’s way of thinking. In the end, Gaming left his family home to get away from the arguments he used to have with his father during this period. After leaving, Gaming chose to go to Yilong Port, a place with a lot of people. Long before leaving his village, he had already made a plan to make a living: he wanted to do beast dance shows, of course, like the ones he was so passionate about as a child. The ambitious young man immediately purchased the necessary equipment for his performances, distributed presentation pamphlets, and reserved a venue to hold the show. He planned to start his performances at Yilong Port, then move on to Liyue City, eventually making his beast dance known throughout Teyvat. Gaming’s hard work finally paid off, and it wasn’t long after he left his family home that he spent all of the money he had saved to embark on his dream project. “Beast dance as a future plan? Do you think you can make a living that easily? You can thank the Archons that you don’t starve to death!”… With an empty stomach, Gaming began to believe the words his father had told him.

Story 2

Since he had to be able to eat in order to carry out his plans, Gaming had to find a job that would support him. Luckily for him, fate sometimes has a good surprise in store after a difficult time. At that time, the Lantern Rite was approaching, and Gaming had eagerly agreed to accompany a merchant from Fontaine to the office of the Cofrespada Safe Transport Agency. There, by pure chance, he met the head of the escorts, who was worried about their lack of manpower. Gaming took the opportunity to show off his many talents and became a temporary employee. Thanks to his daily practice of the Beast Dance, Gaming had good martial skills, and was not afraid of hard work. After finishing a temporary transport assignment, the head of the escorts invited him to stay, thus becoming an official escort. In a way, that was a way to make a living from beast dancing, wasn't it? Or at least, that's what Gaming thought.

Story 3

Language is one of the most important tools of human communication, and Gaming’s set of “tools” is as unique and interesting as its behavior. “Dude, I really don’t want you going around eating white squash and tofu, wearing long sleeves and shorts…” “Why not? I love white pumpkin and tofu. Plus, I always wear matching clothes.” If the other person is confused, Gaming always comes up with a different way to explain things, and if necessary, he also uses his hands and feet to make a more substantial demonstration. According to Gaming, his way of speaking comes from his mother, who came to Chiaoying from far away to get married. And he was always attached to her since he was born: little Gaming hung out with his mother, ate with her, chatted with her, learned from her how to speak, behave and treat others, and developed many habits and hobbies similar to his mother's. Got nothing to do? Going for dim sum. Feeling dizzy and hot? Going for herbal tea. Need to eat something? Go for something with vegetables... And no, fruit doesn't count. However, these habits aren't set in stone, and if a friend suggests something new, Gaming is happy to try it out. After all, we're all friends in this world, and true friendship is especially important to Gaming.

Story 4

On the streets of Yilong Port, Gaming often chats with everyone, be it old or young. Most people who meet this young man for the first time think that his eloquence is nothing more than a simple form of politeness. But as they get to know him, they realize that Gaming's caring comes from the heart and is genuine: he gives errands to Duchin, who works as a handyman, helps Zhigui, who is always busy, with his work, brings herbal liquor from Liyue Port to his colleagues at the Safe Transportation Agency, and even asks Dip Yeuk to give a suanni toy to a child he doesn't even know, and he does this only because Dip Yeuk had mentioned that the child liked watching beast dance performances... True friendship is based on sincere understanding. That's why everyone is kind to this enthusiastic young man. Every time Gaming goes to make a delivery, he is invited to come in and rest for a while, and when he goes to have dim sum, there is always a neighbour who greets him and invites him to share a table. But, of course, on one condition: he cannot say "I'll pay the bill." Gaming often laughs and says that he has only been able to settle in Yilong Port thanks to the care of others, but those who truly know him know that wherever he is, such a humble and sincere young man certainly has a bright future ahead of him.

Story 5

Practice makes perfect. No matter how busy he is with his escort job, Gaming always finds some time in the day to train. At daily meals, Gaming uses chopsticks to take food from his colleagues and fiddle around while adopting the horse stance under the table and standing firm as a mountain as if nothing happened. After packing the goods, Gaming rarely uses a wheelbarrow to transport them back to the warehouse, but rather usually lifts them with his hands, box by box, and walks back and forth to exercise his arm strength. The leader of the escorts knows well that the work is hard and monotonous for everyone. Therefore, from time to time he asks the opinion of others and brings certain objects for the relaxation and enjoyment of everyone in the Safe Transport Agency. A soft mattress, a comfortable pillow, a deck of Invocation of the Wise... At one point, Gaming stood up and cleared his throat: “*Ahem*. If possible, I’d like us to install some training pillars in the front yard so we can train our arms and legs, and thus have a good physical foundation to be more efficient in our work as escorts, what do you think?”

Story 6

He had barely finished speaking when he was booed by his colleagues. While everyone was discussing where to go for a break after work, one of them had suggested that working overtime was the best way to relax. They thought it was something abominable that should be punished. So they wanted to teach him a “lesson”: some of his fellow bodyguards gathered around him to shout at him, others demanded that he apologize to them, and others pretended to give him advice in a superior manner… Everyone was laughing, causing a great commotion. “Dear friends, thank you for being patient with me and giving me a good time. How about I treat you all to dim sum to make it up to you?” These kinds of jokes between colleagues at the Safe Transport Agency happen from time to time. Of course, everyone knew that Gaming wanted training pillars to practice his beast dance, and everyone joked about it. It was, of course, an excuse to surprise him for his birthday. In fact, his colleagues had already prepared some wooden poles outside the office and were waiting to set them up all together. When he had free time, Gaming strongly encouraged his colleagues to learn the beast dance. They were all happy to try it because it seemed “trendy,” but few had the strength to endure it. One of his fellow escorts once said jokingly: “If I were to put things in order from least to most effort in terms of work, third would be escort work, second would be beast dance, and first would be gaming, because he can do the second and third at the same time!” On second thought, that's a pretty accurate statement.

Story 7

“The son of another family” is the highest praise that the people of Yilong Port have given Gaming, which is true, as he is a sensible person who has earned his reputation on his own since he left home. Only those close to him who watched him grow up know that he was once the “naughty king” everyone in Chiaoying Village knew. He was always climbing up onto the roofs of houses to remove tiles, or climbing trees to look for bird nests. When the adults went to the tea gardens to collect the leaves, he would walk by and step on them. All in all, it was not unusual for his father to have to apologize to the neighbors frequently. But in reality, Gaming climbed onto rooftops to help his father hide his savings, searched through bird nests to collect feathers to give to his mother to make headdresses, and roamed tea gardens to help neighbors ward off pests... Gaming was a child like no other, with a head full of all kinds of novel ideas that made others cry with laughter. That's why, despite being a mischievous child, Gaming never lost his parents' sympathy. When the famous Yilong Port Beast Dance Troupe came to perform at Chiaoying Village, Gaming's father entrusted the work he had to do during the day to one of his assistants in order to take his son to watch the performance in the front row and thus enjoy the show to the fullest.

Story 8

But that day, while eating dim sum, Gaming’s parents were chatting too much with their tablemates, until Gaming dragged them along to rush to the stage to watch the show. Unfortunately, the audience had already filled the three inner rows and the three outer rows closest to the stage, so unfortunately, it looked like Gaming wouldn’t be able to see the show… “Dad, you’re a liar! Liar! You said you’d take us to see the suanni, but you haven’t kept your promise!” His parents’ words of comfort were drowned out by Gaming’s cries, and no toys could comfort him either. “Children who misbehave are eaten by the suanni! Look how fierce it is!” That’s what his father had told him as he carried him on his shoulders to try to get him to watch the show. Just then, the show’s suanni jumped onto the poles placed on the stage and turned towards Gaming, looking him in the eyes. At that moment, Gaming stopped crying and stared at the beast with his mouth and eyes wide open. On the way back home, he kept looking back towards the stage the entire time. That was when his parents realized that something was wrong with Gaming. Could he have been scared by what they had just told him? “Don’t be afraid, Gaming! It’s not true! It’s a lie! It’s a person! It doesn’t eat children…”

Story 9

“Dad! I want to see more! I want to be like that giant suanni!” After the performance, Gaming, who was used to being interested in something for only three minutes, had become surprisingly enthralled by the beast dance. He often pestered his father to take him to see other performances, while his usual pranks had gradually given way to organized and planned training in the beast dance (according to him). In order to practice the graceful suanni head jump, he even broke eight of the ten bamboo baskets in his house. There was no need to look for the missing rice ladle in the kitchen either, as Gaming had probably borrowed it to beat his drum, and there was also no doubt about who had broken the wooden furniture in the house... One day, Gaming went with his father to buy tea that had just been picked by the peasants. As soon as he took the bamboo basket containing the tea leaves, he gave his father a “suanni thank you” and did a dance with the basket still in his hands, scattering the tea leaves on the ground. His father chased him around the village before giving him a good beating. When he returned home with his father pulling his ear, the food his mother had prepared for them had already gone cold, and she had been waiting for them at the door for a long time with a stick in her hand... Spring passed and autumn came, followed by the harshness of winter. During that season, Gaming's father drank tea and his mother nibbled on pumpkin seeds at home. Outside, they watched their son jump around the yard holding his suanni head, which sometimes made them frown or laugh... It's a shame that scenes like this, which used to be very common, can now only reappear in your dreams.

Story 10

The boy who was once staring at the beast dance has grown into a young man of great enthusiasm. If there is one thing that has not changed over the years, it is his passion for the beast dance and his dream of making a name for himself in Liyue one day. However, unlike Yilong Port in Liyue City, the beast dance is nothing more than a new folk art that originated in the Chenyu Valley area and is not as deeply rooted in people's hearts as Liyue opera is. As his father saw that Gaming was unable to stop, he became increasingly worried about his son's future. More than once, he seriously explained to him the difficulties of his entrepreneurial venture, but Gaming always replied that it was even more difficult to maintain the existing business, which justified his unwillingness to take over his father's tea business. Before, when his mother was still alive, father and son used to reconcile over dinner, but since Gaming's mother's illness and death, the relationship between father and son had deteriorated and the two had become increasingly distant. Gaming's father attributed his mother's illness to the fact that she had worked too hard from a young age to support him in his business. Therefore, he blamed himself for her illness. How was he going to explain it to his beloved and sadly deceased wife if something happened to his only son? After Gaming was injured again while practicing the beast dance, his father completely blew up and gave away all his paraphernalia, leaving Gaming with only a suanni head made by his mother. Who would have imagined that Gaming would leave home the next day with the suanni head without saying goodbye? In fact, after Gaming left, his father was not only angry, devastated and brooding, but the separation pierced his heart and has not let him spend a single peaceful day since then.

History 11

Over the years, Gaming's father secretly asked his acquaintances working at the Communications Bureau to take care of Gaming, but every conversation about his son infuriated him, not to mention that he never took the initiative to reconcile with him. Loeng, the family helper, wrote to Gaming every holiday season and chatted with him about uncomfortable topics. It didn’t take an expert to realize that nine times out of ten, he was acting on Gaming’s father’s instructions. Gaming is not as stubborn and carefree as he seems, and even though deep down he knew his father was behind it, he would reply to the letters and inquire about the situation at home… Every time Gaming received a letter from Loeng, he became as nervous as if he were defusing a bomb, and sometimes he even wished he didn’t receive them. As a child, he was afraid that the people in the village would say to him, “Your father is on his way to beat you up.” Now, what he feared most was that someone would come and say, “Your father fell at home.” Then as now, the best news was no news.

History 12

In any case, father and son were very stubborn and thought that the other would come to their senses eventually… Fortunately, before the story ended in regret, the enthusiastic Aunt Xianyun did not sit idly by. She pulled the strings and, with the help of her friends, convinced Gaming's father to calm down and attend his son's wonderful beast dance performance for the first time. Father and son spoke to each other awkwardly at first, but in the end, after a long time, they opened their hearts again. It was then that Gaming's father truly accepted his decision to make a living by devoting himself to beast dancing. “Don’t forget to come to my next performance in Liyue, Dad!” “If you ask me, I will have no choice but to attend.” “So, remember not to chat too much with people during dim sum. If you arrive late and I'm so popular that there's no more room available, don't start crying.” “What a rascal you are!”

Go Ming

Gaming doesn't like to read, but he has kept a book under his pillow for years. It contains the only letter his mother ever wrote to him. “... Mom is very worried. When Mom leaves, you and Dad will be living at home alone, and you will probably be overwhelmed. Dad can be harsh when he talks, but he has a good heart. Don't be angry with him, he only cares about your future, he doesn't want you to suffer trying to get ahead. Do you remember when you sprained your ankle? Dad was very worried and carried you to the doctor on his shoulders. That night, Mom was very worried. Now that you are older, Mom doesn't want you to get on bad terms with Dad...”. “Don’t worry, Mommy won’t mind you playing with the beast dance stuff. Mommy is glad you found something you like and enjoy doing. But promise Mommy that you will be careful and not hurt yourself. And please don’t eat food that is too cold or too hot or too raw, and don’t be too picky about food… And also, wrap up warm when it storms and rains…” “When you’re with other people, you have to be good to them and still be true to yourself. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” “There’s nothing wrong with meeting a lot of people. If you have one good friend, cherish them and always treat them well. You don’t need more good friends, one is enough. If you’re not happy, Mom knows you won’t tell Dad, so just find some friends to talk to. Don’t keep it all to yourself, okay?”

.. “When Mommy is angry, she needs to rest... Whenever you were up to something, Mommy would always say, 'You little rascal! I would have done better to give birth to a piece of char siu than you...' But even if she tells you this over and over again, you will always be the sweet boy that Mommy loves most in the world...”. Judging by the folds in the paper of the letter, it seems that it was opened and closed many times. Placing it between the pages of the book was a very good decision to preserve it as long as possible. This very book was used by his mother in life as a tea coaster. And now, Gaming is giving it another use. “She wanted me to read more books, but had I even read one of them? Oh, I have to keep quiet! Lest her spirit appears in my dreams to beat me up!” Gaming never cries when he talks about his mother in front of others. He understood that his mother wanted him to continue living with optimism and good humor, and that is precisely what he was doing. But for some unknown reason, when he is alone and thinks about her, dust always gets in his eyes, even when he is in his room and there is no wind or dust in the air.

Vision

Gaming has a question on his mind every day: what does a suanni really look like? From the answers from his elders, none of them had actually seen one, so he relied on the words of his teachers to learn the beast dance. If he were to research it on his own, it would take him a considerable amount of effort. By chance, Gaming borrowed several ancient books from Xingchiu about the Hermit Suanni. After several nights of intensive research, he finally gave up reading when faced with terms as convoluted and as complicated to understand as mathematical formulas. He only remembered a few words like “powerful,” “majestic,” and “untamed.” If he ever heard it in the mountains, he would know that he was in the presence of such a majestic beast! If he had the chance to admire it with his own eyes, he might be able to draw inspiration from it for his beast dance performances. With this idea in mind, Gaming often made it a point to tour the places mentioned in these ancient texts. And one day, when he approached Mount Lingmeng, he felt oppressed by a mysterious aura, as if a pair of eyes were watching him from a hidden place. His intuition told him that this time was going to be the good one! The next day, before dawn lit up the sky, Gaming prepared his clothes and set out on an excursion to Mount Lingmeng with his favorite suanni head and a large bag of food offerings. Suddenly, a strong gust blew in his direction, and before Gaming could react, a black shadow swirled around him. Gaming immediately closed his eyes and, clasping his hands, respectfully explained to this menacing shadow the objective of his pilgrimage.

Vision 2

“Hello, Ms. Suanni! My name is Gaming! I have come to pay my respects to you… And I have brought with me many delicious foods as an offering! If you don’t mind, may I open my eyes?” Without hearing any movement, he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the great, majestic beast he had imagined, but a cute little creature, proudly enthroned on a rock. “Wow. So, was I wrong? You’re a cute little creature? Well, hello there, little suanni! Come here so I can pet your head!” Gaming became overly excited, which apparently aroused the beast’s displeasure. Although it was small, it was very imposing. Lightning swept around Gaming, making him dizzy and knocking his belongings to the ground. Unconsciously, he instantly put on his suanni head and imitated the beast’s movements as he faced it. These two adversaries fought until nightfall, like long-lost playmates who were excited to play all day. In the end, the beast seemed to agree to participate in the game. Afterwards, it shook its head and a shiny stone came out of its mane. “Is it true? Am I going to be so lucky twice in one day? Am I going to get a Vision?” Gaming approached the stone carefully and found that it was actually a genuine mineral. It just seemed to shine under the sun. Oh, it had been a misunderstanding. Although it was somewhat regrettable, it did not affect Gaming’s good mood, because from that day onwards, the “Powerful Mystical Beasts” group would be officially established.

Vision 3

From then on, Gaming and Man Chai became inseparable, and he completely forgot about the misunderstanding about the Vision... Much later, while Gaming was escorting a caravan of merchants, he came across a band of thieves with no trade or profit. All the merchants traveling with him urged him to retreat, giving up the goods they were carrying, because what mattered at that moment was getting out alive. “What I dislike the most is people who make a living by robbing others! Even if they’re just passing by, I won’t let them go! Besides, I’m an escort, right? Come on, you guys go ahead, I’ll take care of this. Not a single box of goods will be missing, and you guys won’t touch a hair on them!” That day, Gaming fought against ten thieves. And although he had been injured during the fight, he held on and tied up the criminals until the Geo Army and his fellow escorts came to help him, after which he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The merchants checked their goods and found that they had not suffered any damage, and found a Vision that was not on the list. They then carefully wrapped it up and sent it to the Cofrespada Safe Transport Agency with a thank you plaque in Gaming's name.

Vision 4

Gaming didn't expect to meet a Vision when he saw her. He had no expectations, he was simply stunned by what was happening to him, and thousands of questions immediately came to mind. “Is that true? Don’t tell me it belongs to me? I just did my job as an escort, nothing special. That’s how I normally work… Should I return it? But… to whom? To the caravan merchants? But they said it wasn’t theirs… Wouldn’t it be… from one of those robbers who attacked us? Ah! But what am I thinking? Given the situation… this Vision probably belongs to me… Right? No! I heard that this item is linked to some kind of very deep desire. I didn’t get any Vision when I danced my beast dance in front of Man Chai earlier, and yet, when doing a regular escort mission the other day… Am I… an escort who’s wasting his time doing beast dance?!” I hope this doesn't mean I have to give up my favorite hobby... Boy, what if it does? I'd rather keep dancing than stay with this Vision! That's what he thought, until he removed the veil covering the plaque of gratitude. “His eyes see everything and his ears hear everything in the posture of a wise auspicious beast.” “With nails and teeth he defeats bandits and evildoers, like a suanni eliminating bad auspices.” The doubts in Gaming's heart were dispelled, he wiped his hands on his clothes and solemnly took his Vision.
