Family of four agreeing to the idea, the experiments had started. One immortal being immune to the illness, Ezrek, the person had been fused with the dna of a snake, however, the experiment was a failure snake DNA going to the arms and legs instead of throughout the entire body, as well as the snake DNA not reversing the effects of the immortal killing illness, the scientist soon moved on back to their birthplace of Khaenri'ah temporarily, the underground nation for another idea: what if they fused the sacred snake dna of Jormungandr within someone's brain? Coming across the perfect family, the Pictiur family within the nation of Khaenri'ah, the scientest came up with a proposal: creating a chimera through conception by injecting the DNA through an embryo cell. The Chimera Project, had thus, begun.Ĭoming across a family of immortals dying from an illness, in an ancient civilization, the scientist's first experiments began. A rogue scientist who fused their blood with the blood of a dragon known as Flosshilde (*Not a canon character within the genshin universe, but a character within my lore in this au only.) had gotten their hands on animal dna, inserting it into vials, and had gotten increasingly curious: what would happen if they used the art of alchemy to fuse the DNAS of animals into people? Thirsting for answers, the scientist had begun to find "vessels" to start experimenting on. The Lore/Origin of ChimerasĬhimeras came into being around 520 years ago, and ~20 years before the Catacylsm. (In other words, I don't and will not force my lore on canon characters). My lore is entirely separate and those animal people and my chimeras are different entities entirely. I should stress this, by the way, that none of the other animal people in Genshin such as Diona or Gorou are a part of this lore. They are basically "animal people" who are partially animal, partially human. But, not all can, as some's animal traits are permanently present on their partially human person, which will be explained in full detail in the tier section below.īut the TL DR: chimeras are a race of creatures with human appearing bodies on the outside, but animal DNA on the inside. A majority of them have the ability to transform parts of their body into the animal their dna corresponds to. The degree of tampering is split into three tiers, the higher the tier the chimera is, the more tampered with their dna was during the experimentation was on their bodies. If you need a comparison to what I took slight inspiration from, think of human chimeras from Full Metal Alchemist. To put it simply, chimeras are "animal people". Using this alchemy with animal DNA in in a vial through interjection, human bodies at the time were thus tampered with, changing the DNA within bloodlines permanently until these bloodlines die out. Khemia is a form of alchemy that is known to create life itself, but who is to say that is the only thing Khemia is capable of doing? Chimeras are a race of creatures whose bloodlines were fused with animal dna with the Khaenri'an alchemy art known as Khemia. Important facts I want people to remember will be bolded to stand out.Ĭhimeras are human-like "people" that appear human on the outside, but they are anything but. Keep in mind that this carrd is pretty old and from 2021 when I first started crafting this complicated lore. I have an outdated chimera lore carrd that some of this information will be taken from, but expanded since then. This will not be written in prose format, but rather a worldbuilding summary thread. I don't have any trigger warnings, but there is a lot to go into reading this. This thread is just a comprehensive look into the lore I've had privately written thus far. None of this in particular is spoilers for my fanfiction, but is an explanation of the lore behind chimeras, why they exist in this au verse of Genshin, and how they differ from chimeras in other franchises. I cannot promise this will be short, as there is a lot to go over. Hello, and welcome to the lore thread for my Genshin Impact alterative universe.
