[this is a lore booklet for people who are interested in genshin impact. if you aren't interested, click on another project (:] -scaramouche pt.1- Before the Raiden Shogun of Genshin Impact was created to serve as Ei’s vessel, the Electro Archon worked on a preliminary prototype. This first puppet would become Scaramouche, but he had no name at the time. When he gained consciousness, the unnamed puppet shed tears, leading Ei to believe that he was too gentle in nature to serve as her vessel. Thus, Ei sealed the young Scaramouche’s power and allowed him to follow his own path in life. She supposedly built the Genshin Impact Shakkei Pavilion located in Tatarasuna, Inazuma for him. Scaramouche then spent most of his early life there. In Genshin Impact, the Traveler can unlock the Shakkei Pavilion as a One-time Domain, and its in-game description reveals that “a deeply disheartened eccentric” once lived there – likely Ei’s yet unnamed puppet. The young Scaramouche then began traveling across Inazuma of Genshin Impact, which earned him the title “wandering eccentric.” While roaming Nazuchi Beach, which is located in Yashiori Island of Inazuma, young Scaramouche became acquainted with a man named Katsuragi. Katsuragi worked as the yoriki or helper of a skilled inspector and bladesmith named Mikoshi Nagamasa. Katsuragi and young Scaramouche soon became close friends. However, Katsuragi warned the wandering eccentric to keep his identity a secret. Unfortunately, Katsuragi’s companions later decided to pursue the young Scaramouche in Genshin Impact. Though the reasons for this are unclear, it could be because they figured out his true nature. During the course of events, Katsuragi committed an unspecified “misconduct” – perhaps allowing young Scaramouche to escape – and was struck down by Nagamasa. Young Scaramouche then swore to exact revenge on the bladesmith. He also gave himself a name: Kunikuzushi, which refers to malicious, scheming characters found in Inazuma’s traditional theater.. For Kunikuzushi, Nagamasa’s demise was not enough. As such, he orchestrated the fall of the entire Raiden Gokaden, which consisted of the five bladesmithing schools in Inazuma. In the events of Genshin Impact, only one of the five schools remains – the rest having been destroyed or discontinued. -to be continued. look below for part two.-
