Character Name: Razor Series: Genshin Impact Timeline: post "The Meaning of Lupical" Canon Resource Links: Razor’s wiki page
Personality: Razor is a simple sort of person -- or wolf, depending on how you look at it and how he’s feeling at that time. That isn’t to say he’s unintelligent, necessarily, but being raised by wolves does make a person rather ignorant to things like societal complexities and the ever-changing wants and needs that come with a cushy city lifestyle.
In the forest of Wolvendom, Razor was completely content with the life of a wolf, living day by day, hunting and eating and playing with his pack. He’s always known he isn’t technically a wolf, but that didn’t matter to him so much in the past; the pack is his lupical, his family. He recognized immediately when visited by a human that they looked the same, but he’s certainly never fit in with humans socially.
His unfamiliarity with human society doesn’t make him hostile toward mankind, though. The first man to visit him repeatedly gave Razor his name and taught him to wield a sword with which to protect his pack, and Razor happily went along with it all. He’s quick, even, to socialize with humans. He takes elemental training and language lessons from the nearby city’s librarian when she visits, though language itself can frustrate him. And he forms a puppy-like friendship with a young knight even though she wreaks fiery havoc wherever she goes. He even goes so far as to interrupt his pack’s hunt to save a couple of nearby travelers from being overwhelmed by monsters. Saving them is more important to him than eating that day.
When it comes down to it, although Razor is wary of the effect humans can have on nature, he tends not to assume bad intentions right off the bat; after all, what wild animal ever had moral failings? Wolves are loyal and protective, and it’s those traits that Razor most embodies, and fiercely so -- he gained his elemental Vision by single-handedly taking on a powerful mage for hurting his pack. He also values kindness, as is clear from the generosity he’s accepted from the city’s knights, and from his box of gifts from human friends -- his only worldly possessions besides his sword and clothes.
Despite the friendships he’s made with humans, Razor likely wouldn’t have left his pack if not having been ordered to by the wolf spirit who initially took him in as an infant. Although he’s remiss to admit it, Razor isn’t truly a wolf, and in the end it is healthier for all if he leaves wolf society to real wolves.
Fitting in with other humans will likely always be a struggle for him, however much he enjoys their company. He finds communicating with them exhausting, and cannot begin to fathom the ways of the human world. Even though he’s faced with such a task, humans are his lupical now, and he knows nothing if not loyalty and survival.

Victory Road Sample: Given the state of the creature before him, Razor could easily toss a Pokeball and capture it without even bothering to battle. The little Electro pup is clearly favoring one leg, and appears quite lost, with nowhere to hide or tend to its wounds. It’s irritated, bristling with electricity and snarling at the intruder.
Pokeballs, though, don’t interest the wolf boy. Were it not for the enforced 6-per-party rule, he wouldn’t even keep them. So he’ll go about befriending Electrike the natural way.
To start, he finds shelter nearby, not so close that he disturbs the injured Pokemon, but close enough that it can grow accustomed to his scent and presence. He doesn’t bother with speaking to it; animals don’t speak. He simply goes about looking after himself and his team for the day, keeping an eye on the wild dog, ensuring that no more harm comes to it.
For Electrike’s part, after a few hours it stops growling. There’s a chance it simply tired itself out. Razor’s heart aches, seeing how miserable and alone the creature is, imagining what it’s been through to end up in such a predicament.
When it’s time for eating, he tears strips of meat off of his own meal and stands to approach the Pokemon. This causes the animal to stand and resume its growling, trying to appear as threatening as it can.
Even though Razor approaches slowly and holds the meat outstretched, Electrike is too afraid to trust him. In a flash, it leaps forward and bites Razor’s hand, sending a shock up his arm and causing him to yelp and drop the meat.
They separate, Razor stepping back toward camp, holding his freshly injured hand, and Electrike eyeing him warily. Razor isn’t angry in the least, and only marginally harmed. His hand will heal, but he doesn’t know if he can say the same for a wounded wild animal. Despite the superficial injury, he gives an exaggerated whine, the kind of sound he’d make if a pup was playing too rough and needed to learn better self control.
This, as planned, seems to both confuse and reassure Electrike. Finally, it sniffs at the meat and steps forward to drag it back to its resting spot.
Smiling to himself, Razor returns to his own camp. He crudely bandages his hand and gets back to his own meal, keeping in Electrike’s line of sight. Now it knows that he wants to help rather than harm it, and with more patience, he’s certain they can come to trust one another.
Until then, he’ll continue to offer the Pokemon what aid it will accept, and after it’s healed, he’ll allow it to decide whether or not it wants to join his journey.
