I'm half asleep so bear with my ramblings kindly please (and sorry for any innacuracies, I'm by no means an expert on this stuff)

His name being a nickname for Dmitri, plus his clear atomic and (real life elements not genshin) elemental motifs really point to him being a reference to Dmitri Mendeleev.

Mendeleev was a scientist and historian, who created the periodic table and predicted gallium, scandium, and germanium. Gallium and germanium are used in electronics, and scandium is used in aerospace stuff.

Mendeleev also invented pyrocollodion, which is a powder used in explosives.

To me, if they continued that string of references then Mitya would either be electro or pyro. Based on the upcoming meta I'm more leaning toward electro though.

Absolutely adore him and his outfit, plus more long haired men!

I wonder what element he will be, from all the red I am wondering if he will be Pyro.

No matter what though I will be pulling for him

Based on his bear summon, the air around it looks wispy and crisp. The ground beneath it before it charges is a sheet of ice as well despite them starting the fight inside a theatre (so they aren't outside for it to be environmental ice).

I suppose the wispiness could be construed as anemo or hydro, but I don't think that will be the case. For anemo, we already have another confirmed anemo unit, and the meta won't have a use for another hydro right now so I doubt he'd be hydro.

Either way I will be pulling for him because he looks amazing.

There used to be a whole family of sumpter beasts here, now there's only 2 babies... yet even more orphans at the hands of Il Dottore 😔

Different tags have different flags, the Philadelphia Flag is just one variation. Staff doesn't care about us there, and Trans folk are often treated unfairly, but there was no removal of Trans rep for us in the like button this Pride.

Edit by me, song Eternity by Alex Warren

Definitely one of my new favorite events

I'm not planning on pulling for either Citlali or Nicole. I've heard Xilonen to replace Citlali but is that still true even at C0R1? Not sure at all who to replace Nicole with. Any help would be appreciated
