SPOILERS FOR VARKA'S STORY

Character Name: Varka
Canon: Genshin Impact
Canon History: Varka

Canon Personality: 🐺 The most dad vibes you'll ever get. Varka likes to take care of people and be there for them when he can.

🐺 Varka is just unabashedly himself and very genuine about it. Outgoing, gregarious, and unfailingly kind, it's little wonder that he and Venti became instant friends.

🐺 He makes it a point to stay in contact with the people he cherishes. Connections with people are how he keeps himself from being lost as a Knight of Boreas, and how he prevents another tragedy like the Bloodstained Knight from happening again.

🐺 That being said, he's a Mondstadter through and through: man loves to D R I N K. His alcohol tolerance is absurdly high.

🐺 Varka certainly has his moments of being a big, beautiful idiot, such as when Diona tricks him into making a "superb wine" out of random shit she made up and almost dying by drinking it.

🐺 However, he is a brilliant tactician even when he's just making shit up on the fly. It's impressive to see him in action.

🐺 That being said, Varka would definitely rather other people take over the desk job part of his work as Grand Master. Please. Please, Jean, do that work for him, he's begging you.

🐺 He doesn't like to see people overwork themselves or beat themselves up over being vulnerable. Varka actively encourages self-care to the people around them, as well as just being honest with their feelings.

AU Name: Varka Kenway
AU Age: 43
AU Birthday: February 17
Faction: Black Order

AU History: Varka was born in Wales to two extremely normal parents. If there had been magic in their bloodline, it was so far back that there was no memory of it. When he was a baby, they moved to Alberta, Canada and lived there for the first 16 years of his life. It was during a hiking trip with friends in the summer that Varka's life would change forever. A crazed wolf demon set upon their camp in the middle of the night. Varka was armed with only a stick as he told his friends to get to the nearest Ranger Station for help.

The wolf spirit charged at him and two things happened in that moment. The first was that he viscerally remembered something similar happening in his past life. A corrupted Andrius bearing down on him while he held the line to wait for the Traveler. The second was a moment in which time stood still as a god intervened. Drawn in by Varka's courage and loyalty, Anubis offered him a deal. He would lend Varka the power needed to fight back against the wolf. In exchange, the blond would honor the fallen and . It was an easy deal to make.

Yet after tapping into the God of Funerals' power, he passed out immediately after his victory against the spirit. Varka was taken to the nearest hospital to be treated for any wounds, which was when a Guardian from The Order approached him. They talked a big game about how being in The Black Order would allow him to continue protecting the people who needed it most. However, Varka found that was exactly what he wanted to do. Even if it was a shady group, he felt like he could still do something to change it from within. So, Varka agreed and entered training to become a full Guardian.

Throughout his tenure as a Guardian, Varka quickly proved himself to be incredibly strong and brilliant as a tactician. The Order would send him out on many dangerous missions far from HQ, sometimes not even allowing him back and just dispatching him from one battlefield to the next. Most of the time, Varka would ensure that every Guardian who was under his command came back home safely. However, there were times where that simply wasn't possible. He lost some good people, and he made sure to honor them according to both his own principles and Anubis'. Still, Varka made it a point to keep correspondence with all the people he befriended. Whether they were a Guardian or civilian, he made sure to bring with him summer winds and a hope for freedom.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to participate in the rebellion himself. He'd been sent out on a highly dangerous and urgent mission to quell a very dangerous Spirit Realm that was drawing even normal people into its depths. However, Varka didn't sit back and let his comrades fight for freedom on their own. He sent a few of his own crew as well as those he knew to be on Jusis' side to aid in the rebellion.

By the time he returned from his mission, it was just in time for the victors to elect their new leaders. Varka's nomination had been overwhelmingly positive, and thus he was promoted to join the ranks of The Unbroken. He performed his duties with integrity. While Ayato, Wriothesley, and Jusis dealt with rebuilding and restructuring, Varka went out to do what he did best: defend the people with his swords. He took charge of dispatching critical threats from the Spirit Realm to give the others some breathing room. At least, as much as he could.

However, after hearing about Hojo's designs on Kaisou and his subsequent permanent death, it was decided that Varka would be reassigned to the Kaisou team to help them. He would be relegated to dispatching Guardians from their base in the city as part of his regular duties, and also come to Kaisou's defense in the event something else threatens the citizens.
