Backstory:

The Archon war had ended over present-day Liyue, but the remains of the gods that have perished have corrupted majority of the land surrounding the newly established nation.

The Geo Archon Rex Lapis immediately rallied Adepti warriors to purify the corrupted land. The Geo Archon also ordered specialized aircraft that fit the role.

The X-140 (Serial Number 82-0417) was one such specialized aircraft for the Yaksha special unit of the LADF, specializing in neutralizing demons and purifying the land from lingerong darkness leftover by the slain gods.

Built with air superiority in mind, the X-140 boasts an impressive 1.9:1 thrust to weight for accelerating out of turns and for keeping its speed on tighter turns. The aircraft also boasts a loadout of 10 "Windspear" anti air missiles to deal with multiple air targets

The aircraft was given to General Alatus, his abilities in the element of Anemo/wind complimenting the capabilities of the aircraft he's been given.

Being one of the five Yakshas, Xiao and his X-140 have fought on many fronts in the campaign to purify Liyue. Racking up experience and flight hours, the Adeptus and his fighter only grew stronger after each battle. Eventually gaining the code name "Conqueror" for how the aircraft and its pilot slay demons with ease, the X-140 is a formidable and capable fighter.

The Yaksha suffered heavy losses as the campaign soldiered on, with only Xiao and the X-140 being the sole survivors of the special division, the other members of the Yaksha succumbing to the stresses of war.... With one even going insane and ending up killing the other member.

After the campaign ended, Xiao and his X-140 went over to Wangshu Inn Airfield and stationed themselves there. The location of the Inn gives Xiao a strategic advantage as the last Yaksha can launch an intercept over the vast area of Liyue in the shortest amount of time.

But as the land grows relatively peaceful, Xiao can't help but think of his fallen comrades. The great grief within him making him want to give up on life. On a dark and starry night, Xiao's X-140 lifted off for what would seem to be his last flight...

Turning his comms to the Yaksha Unit's comms frequency, Xiao is at first surprised, then soothed to hear the tuned of a familiar song played with a flute. It was none other than the Anemo Archon playing the flute on comms that same night...

Xiao and Venti flew in formation for a bit, and it was enough to lift Xiao's spirits, and continue fighting for another day

The X-140 would also participate in the Battle Against Osial when the Adepti and the humans joined forces to protect the harbor in the absence of (the persumed dead) Rex Lapis

Xiao's X-140 still serves to protect the land of Liyue from demons and monsters.

Special Instructions for "Lemniscatic Wind Cycling"

Ag. 2 arms the attack.... Pressing fire guns will execute the attack. Xiao's mastery of anemo will push the craft past mach 2

Fly close to the target, Fire guns, and let the blast of wind pierce through the enemies

Additional Tip (when TVC is on):

When turning at above or around 600 knots IAS, Firing this "Skill" also somewhat increases turn rate and also gives a severe boost of speed.

Firing while turning under 600 knots will result in a spinny plane....

Additional Trivia:

• The Serial number is a reference to Xiao's birthday, which also happens to be my birthday (April 17).

• The aircraft takes inspiration from the F-15 and the S/MTD (my favorite variant btw, look at those square nozzles) but without the canards.

• This is an attempt in integrating a character's skill into a plane
