FIRST IMPRESSIONS
"I'm a traveling merchant, merely passing through. ...You're asking about what this box conceals? Before revealing the answer, let's talk about something else..."
Per his in-game profile: "A blond-haired handsome young man who carries a coffin on his back." Generally found very finely dressed, clad in white with teal and gold accents; usually wearing boots and black gloves. Always carrying a small gold charm on a chain wrapped about his left hand. Occasionally also carrying an elegantly-crafted rapier.
.......And alright yeah so he's also almost always got a full-sized lavishly-ornate white coffin on hand. It's, difficult, to miss. Sometimes carried on his back, sometimes laid down or propped nearby. This is fine. Don't worry about it!
SOUND:
There's typically a very calm and deliberate tone to his voice; some might find it quite soothing. He's not in a hurry with his words. EN / JP / CN; I enjoy all these voiceovers about equally, though I do reference his EN cadence while writing his voice. Feel free to envision whichever dubbing you like!
SCENT:
A perpetual faint fragrance of white irises.
DEMEANOR:
Inexorably mild-mannered and polite; his bearing is serene, and he's friendly by default. Seems to possess a genuine interest in encountering and learning about new places across the galaxy. A sort of person that doesn't appear to mind going out of his way to help people, especially when it comes to physical conflicts or injuries. He'll acknowledge the inevitability of the cycle of life, but cannot help but hate seeing lives cut short under his own watch. Overall, a pretty nice guy!
So why does such a vaguely shady air hang about him wherever he goes? The perceptively sharp are bound to notice it. His evasiveness when the topic of his coffin or his personal origins arises...and some things he'll say off-hand that are ever so, slightly, concerning...
→ "There should be something you're more interested in, right..."

IC PERMISSIONS
"...my purpose of visit is to conduct business, and I have promised not to violate the laws of the Xianzhou Alliance, and to carry out business in accordance to the laws and regulations."
Sure, but would be a bit surprising off the cuff. He doesn't generally initiate this himself.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE:
If you insist! Luocha himself is quite versed with a rapier in a pinch.
INJURING / KILLING:
Fuck him up! He's really quite resilient, since he can usually magically heal himself to an exceptional degree if needed. On an OOC level I would like a heads-up if murder's looking likely, though; I need a real specific plot mixture for playing out character death. Let's discuss first!
MENTAL INFORMATION:
Seems quite mentally sound on...first glance, at least. (Just, tired, very tired. Constantly exhausted. Wow being a merchant sure must be a lot of work--) Surface level brackets are fairly free game, but please let me know beforehand if your character wants to dig any deeper!
MAGICAL INFORMATION:
As one who has currently been set to walk along the Path of The Abundance, Luocha possesses an ability that strongly resembles magic healing to the outside eye. Invoking the charm on his left wrist, he can focus and apply repairs even to broken machine lifeforms, or establish a sort of 'passive healing field' all about a small area surrounding him, where all standing within it find themselves buffed while their wounds mend gradually over time. There's a lot of very pretty glowing lights and phantom flowers involved. Those attuned to detecting such abilities are free to sense the Abundance's current hangings over Luocha...as well as the fact that some distinct entity of power lurks within his coffin, too.
MEDICAL INFORMATION:
By all means and accounts he seems like a perfectly hale young man.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS:
Would really prefer not to talk too extensively about himself, or the coffin! That's just a tool of his trade, you know, really it's nothing very interesting. While you're here, though, perhaps you'd be interested in...conversation about literally anything else??
→ "Naturally, I will not conduct activities outside the scope of the visa, especially any illegal research related to 'immortality'."

OOC PERMISSIONS
"Merchants don't belong anywhere--we wander and make the stars our home."
BACKTAGGING:
Absolutely! I'm a slower tagger myself.
THREADHOPPING:
Please ask me first!
FOURTHWALLING:
For comedy purposes, sure; would rather not sincerely get into the philosophical weeds of "you're a fictional character in a phone gacha game", though.
CROSSCANON?
More than welcome! Cross-genre, cross-media, all's fair game. Wrt Hoyoverse I am only peripherally familiar with the other games, but happy to work with other players with more knowledge if we wanna whip up any crossovers! Hoyo aside and speaking more generally, I'm receptive to AUs with discussion or lightly assumed cr; he also hails from a space-faring canon and appears to do plenty of space travel, so honestly this could be an easy vehicle to take his vanilla self to pretty much any crossover world.
SHIPPING:
ICly, Luocha may becoffin-sexual a bit initially reticent in reciprocating interest, and will require some warming up for anything deeper than a mutually casual fling...he's quite busy, you see, lots of plans on his plate. (There's also hinted to be quite a few very likely hangups when it comes to love for Reasons but anyway--) OOCly, I'm down to throw him together with just about anyone where the chemistry's there! Gender is no issue, m/m or m/f or m/* equally fair game. Also open to smut of both the one night stand and slowburn varieties! Kink list for that here.
I'm always receptive to crosscanon or OCs with interesting dynamics! As far as castmate shipping in specific goes, I'm usually willing to help contrive our way into encounters even if Luocha hasn't canonically met them yet, look it's all about the Vibes and it's our rp city now. (Also I am always down for potential Otto & Void Archives facetwin weirdness 😌 Does this still count as selfcest. I don't know but--)
DO NOT WANT:
Would prefer avoiding detailed gore, though clinical mentions/implications are fine. Otherwise, I'll say something if need be.
→ "But if you're curious... Within the Alliance, I'm registered at the Xianzhou Yuque. Within the IPC, I'm registered at the Star Unity Mall branch at the North Valley Star."
Player timezone is CST. I tend to trend towards longer tags even in texting threads sometimes, but please never feel a need to match me. If you'd like to chat OOC, feel free to message this journal anytime!BACKTAGGING:

faves: jing yuan, blade
could be fun!: jingliu, welt, dan heng...argenti? sunday??
unlisted: haven't thought about it or we might wanna try a chemistry test first. if unsure, ask me!

EXTRA NOTES
This rp account is purely for fun on memes atm! This guy is still a man of mystery in canon, whose motivations are still in flux, so I'll be trying my best not to get this characterization trounced out the gate but may not entirely succeed, and will adjust accordingly over time. Otherwise, I'm only very peripherally familiar with Honkai Impact 3rd, but am aware of That Guy who Luocha happens to be sharing a face with and find the current ambiguity wrt his Potential Evil Parallels incredibly funny. Will probably be messing around with that ambiguity in the interim! Also I've slapped together some of the wild speculation I'm using while I throw him around in rp (until MHY destroys me with more canon lore 🎉🔥), if anybody wants to go through some disorganized rambling notes ig....
