Outline
Zhongli is a 5-Star playable Polearm Geo character in Genshin Impact.
A consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, he is later revealed to be the current vessel of the Geo Archon, Morax, who has decided to experience the world from the perspective of a mortal.
Personality
Zhongli is a calm, reserved, and polite man, who holds an air of nostalgia. He knows much about Liyue history and culture in part due to his time as the Geo Archon; like Venti (Genshin Impact), he has many experiences and memories, as he was a god well before The Seven even existed and one of the oldest still living in Teyvat. He holds philosophical ideas towards money and has great respect for Liyue's traditions, including those that have been forgotten or warped over time. Zhongli tends to be humble, being worried he comes off as a "bourgeois parasite."
Zhongli tends to forget about Mora in transactions, agreeing to spend large sums of it without having any Mora on hand and even taking "discounts" as granted despite being an obvious scam. He often ends up relying on his acquaintances for financial support, such as the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor or Tartaglia. Although he works for Hu Tao (Genshin Impact), he does not like her childish behavior.
It is later revealed that Zhongli's "carelessness" stems from being the creator of Mora. With the Gnosis allowing him to create limitless Mora, he never had to worry about running low on his personal finances. Unfortunately, when he chose to live among mortals, he lacked the foresight to find an alternative for them to continue minting Mora in his absence, along with creating a retirement fund for himself. As a result, he shamelessly spends the Mora of others.
Being the reminiscent person he is, Zhongli enjoys Osmanthus wine as it was the drink he and his former Archon friends used to have when they met up in Liyue. He dislikes seafood as it reminds him of the promise he made to his people in the past when he fought a particularly annoying type of sea creature, although he does not mind eating them if they have been ground to a pulp.
