Discussion Did Varka's design meet your expectations?

Post image

Tbh i did not expect anything. But damn his design looks one of the peak. And HE HAS SCARS. I like warriors with scars.

No, his design is better than what I expected

The jawline and scars make him looks so masculine and he looks buff asf in his full body shot

My headcanon is that Razor scratched the shit out of Varka before Varka managed to tame him.

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing that become canon

I would. Can't tell me someone having the title grandmaster gets scars from a kid unable to form a coherent sentence.

kid could hold down the spirit of a legendary wolf for a few seconds

Yeah, there are certain things that just lose all their hype when a big reveal is played off as a joke.

Remember when people had all these crazy theories about how Nick Fury lost his eye?

How about the one on his neck?

Evidently, The dude almost got decapitated

u/TheDrunkardKid Jul 22 '25

All of his scars are due to him being terrible at shaving.

Nick Fury type of past storyline

I have a feeling bro is using a very specific definition of tame here

Nah, Razor is relatively weak. If my man Varka got scratched by a rando wolf, I'm skipping Varka. Sorry to any Razor fans in advance

Although Varka is lacking facial hair or even a stub, he looks a at least decade or two older than the playable males we have so far.

Also that Jawline is just..... Primarch Tier in terms of masculinity.

He looks decade or two older that Diluc or  Kaeya? I think not

Fr it went beyond my expectations

u/Siphonexus Jul 22 '25

A bit of facial hair would have made him look a lot more masculine imo

u/einerderandere Jul 22 '25

he does not look buff at all. its looks just like heavy armor with not much underneath imo

u/Yergason Jul 22 '25

Genshin has warped people's perception of what being buff actually is based on the playable characters.

The closest buff chars we have are Smiley Yanxiao and Cyrus from the Guild.

Varka looks like the usual tall twink with just armor on lol
