Quick question: does the title "Archon" mean anything to anybody here? From your worlds.

[ The title of "Archon" - the supersoldiers he commanded - is immediately recognizable in his world. So it's a good lure to bring out anyone from his home who might have been here before him. He hopes that there is someone here he recognizes, or at least can relate to about their mutual world. Worst thing is that he'll just end up being a regular man in here, a stranger. ]

An Archon is a god of sorts where I'm from. But beyond that, really. It's almost as if it's a nations symbol - an icon for an entire land.

But I see my dear friend has told you that of Teyvat.

Presumably, not the same where you are?

Yeah, well, we're definitely not gods.
Although some people thought we were or called us such, but it's more out of ignorance and awe of what our world is capable of.
Younger civilizations with much to learn.
Archons where I'm from are just advanced soldiers.
We serve a more specialized purpose, enough for the title to be recognizable in my world. So I was hoping there's others that ended up here before me.

I haven't heard it used by anyone except those from Teyvat before you arrived. I've been here over a year. So chances are you're alone, I'm sorry to tell you.

However, there have been Archons from my home here.

[ He just sighs at the prospect that he is indeed alone here. It sucks, but he always make does with what he has. ]

Even gods get pulled here, huh?
Have been or still are?
I wouldn't mind meeting them
Even if it's only out of morbid curiosity.

[ Although he is conflicted about befriending them. He reminds himself that they're not the gods of his world, so they might be so different. But at the same time, his experience with his ex who's a god has soured his view a little. ]
