Zhongli

Zhongli is a tall, thin man with fair skin and a stern expression. His eyes are bright and sharp, amber in color with bright yellow pupils set in the shape of diamonds. He wears red eyeliner on the lower lids of his eyes. When he uses his Geo abilities, his eyes become luminescent. His dark brown hair is styled in a windswept manner with longer bangs hanging down the right side of his face. It fades to amber brown at the tips and is pulled back into a long ponytail that falls past his waist. When he uses his Geo abilities, his amber highlights shimmer. This appearance is also used in the depiction of Morax around Liyue in the Statues of the Seven. His attire is sleek and tight-fitting, consisting of a beige dress shirt, a brown and amber vest, slim black pants, black dress boots, and black gloves with twin silver archer rings on the thumbs. His collar is a white tie held at the neck by an amber-colored gemstone. His left ear is adorned with a rhinestone tassel earring. Over all, he wears a long, dark brown tailcoat with dragon scale patterns, gold and silver accents, gold tassels, and the Morax diamond symbol on the back. Zhongli's clothes are decorated with diamond symbols found on his sleeves, belt, pants, vest buttons, and tailcoat buttons. Similar to Venti, due to him being an Archon with an innate Gnosis, the "Vision" embedded in his chain on his lower back is nothing more than a fake.

Zhongli is a calm and kind man who knows quite a bit about Liyue's history and culture. He possesses philosophical ideas about money and a great respect for Liyue's traditions, even those that have long since disappeared. He values ​​contracts highly: despite having the fortune or the information, he tends to be humble and even a little insecure about being, as he puts it, a "bourgeois parasite." One of Zhongli's most notable characteristics is his tendency to forget about the Mora in transactions, agreeing to spend large sums of money without having any Mora on hand and even taking "discounts" as granted despite it being an obvious scam. He often ends up relying on others or the El Camino Funeral Home for financial support. Although he is friends with Hu Tao, the one who trusts him the most, he dislikes his childish behavior. It is later revealed that Zhongli's carelessness comes from being the Geo Archon and the creator of the Mora. With Gnosis allowing him to create unlimited Mora, he never had to worry about running out of money in his personal finances. Unfortunately, when he chose to live among mortals, he did not have the foresight to look for an alternative for mortals to continue minting Mora in his absence, aside from creating a retirement fund for himself. Zhongli, like Venti, seems to view his human form as separate from his divine form. The Archaic Petra set states that Rex Lapis was said to be a ruthless and emotionless god who killed countless other gods during the Archon War, as was necessary to fulfill a contract. As the God of Contracts, Zhongli takes contracts seriously and sincerely, as honoring an agreement is easy and is perplexed as to how people are incapable of fulfilling such a simple concept; he states that all those who break it will suffer the Wrath of the Rock. True to this, his Elemental Burst involves sending a meteor flying towards his enemies.

Zhongli is one of the "7 Archons of Teyvat" being the oldest and most ancient archon who is 6000 years old, Zhongli was the ruler of Liyue but faked his death for a contract he made, yet he retains his power as the "God of Contracts"

In Liyue, if someone is very picky and inflexible about something they are passionate about, that person is often said to be "peculiar."
In some ways, everyone is peculiar. Some people hate spicy food or fish; others like their tofu to be soft and sweet… As for Zhongli, he is peculiar about everything. He only enjoys the performances of the most famous artists, takes out the most exotic bird he owns for a walk, and even often sneaks into restaurant kitchens to teach chefs the right amount of fish and shrimp to make the most authentic full moon rolls. Zhongli knows everything from everyday items like clothing to trade, politics, and relations between the Seven Nations, as well as jewelry, ceramics, cuisine, tea, incense, flowers, insects, birds… However, he usually only talks about things that have no use at all, as he loves to share interesting facts with other people. To buy things, bargaining is a must. This is a habit shared by all citizens of Liyue. No matter how high or how inflexible the price is, the best starting price is half the price. However, Zhongli never pays attention to the price. When he wants something, he gets it regardless of this factor, and sometimes he is even willing to pay more. The funny thing is that he never remembers to bring his wallet with him. That is why he has friends who help him with his daily shopping. If something is overpriced, he finds all kinds of excuses to get reimbursed in some way. For all the merchants who are satisfied with Zhongli, he has one unique quality: he perfectly understands the value of money and finance, as well as the suffering of people. However, he fails to understand that poverty is a real thing. In other words, he cannot imagine himself being poor.

Zhongli will never starve. That’s a fact. He doesn’t need to worry about whether he’s making or losing money. What he really puts his energy into is the affairs of the Seven Nations. As for material wealth… He is literally the embodiment of wealth itself. Yes; Zhongli is Rex Lapis, the Geo Archon of The Seven, the deity who ruled over Liyue, and he is also Morax, the name from which Mora, the currency of all of Teyvat, comes from. When night falls and Liyue’s bustling port quiets down, he sometimes heads to the top of the mountains and looks down upon the city he created with his own hands. To the people of Liyue, King Geo has many titles. When he made the laws of Liyue, he was the “Patron of Contracts.” He created the first Mora that served as the foundation for Liyue’s trade, so the merchants crowned him the “Patron of Trade.” He has witnessed history throughout his years and is the eldest of all the Seven. Because of this, historians refer to him as the “Patron of History.” Millennia ago, when the pioneers of Liyue first created fire by rubbing stones together and cooking in ovens made of the material, they credited him as the “Patron of Ovens.” While outsiders prefer to call him by the name “Morax,” the people of Liyue prefer his common name: “King Geo.” Furthermore, of all the positions and offices Morax holds, his role as the “Warrior God” who defeated evil gods on the battlefield is a favorite among children and theatergoers.
