History Characters / HonkaiStarRailAeons

* MagikarpPower: In the Simulated Universe, Preservation builds rely extremely heavily on access to 3-star blessings to gain the bulk of their power, with comparatively unimpressive lower-rarity blessings that give a wide spread of unimpressive generalist buffs. But once it has the core engine Macrosegregation to build up ungodly amounts of shields while weaponizing them with the 3-star Quake damage blessings and amped up Path Resonance, it can be nearly unstoppable.

* MagikarpPower: In the Simulated Universe, Preservation builds rely extremely heavily on access to 3-star blessings to gain the bulk of their power, with comparatively unimpressive early blessings that give a wide spread of unimpressive generalist buffs. But once it has the core engine Macrosegregation to build up ungodly amounts of shields while weaponizing them with the 3-star Quake damage blessings and amped up Path Resonance, it can be nearly unstoppable.

* TheOlderImmortal: Noted to be among the oldest known Aeons, alongside Qliphoth the Preservation.

* NotQuiteDead: Hinted at. While the rest of the galaxy and the Stellaron Hunters believe that Tayzzyronth is dead, the Xianzhou Alliance believes the opposite, theorizing that Tayzzyronth isn't completely put down for good and it's only a matter of time before THEY regenerate their full body to rise up once again, according to an excerpt from the in-universe book "Glimpses of the Beyond".
-->"''According to the scholar, such horrors have not completely disappeared. The Imperator Insectorum's descendants remain, and THEIR own body could return at any moment. This scholar once showed me his collection -- A dull yellow piece of amber with moving flecks and a buzzing tremor. I was absolutely gob-smacked to hear him say that it is part of the "Imperator Insectorum's Prison Cell." The omniscia implanted in my forehead could not see the future of this item, which only serves to corroborate the scholar's claims. All I can do is pray in silence to the Reignbow that such a day will not come soon.''"

* TheRemnant: The Swarm is now just remnants of Tayzzyronth's spawns who, while no longer a universal threat due to the death of their Aeon, remains a significant threat to worlds unfortunate enough to encounter them.

* PhysicalGod: Hits nearly every point of the trope. THEY are powerful enough to the point [[RealityWarper reality itself bends]] around them, and THEIR Paths are marks left on reality itself which can influence all life across the universe. Naturally, THEY are deified and worshipped by many, particularly those who walk down THEIR Paths, and each known Aeon has at least one faction serving as THEIR followers.

* TheGhost: While several Aeons qualify for this trope, either because THEY'VE long since vanished or because THEY haven't yet been introduced to the player, Mythus and [=HooH=] are distinct from them in that THEIR true forms have never reportedly been witnessed by ''anyone'', even THEIR followers.

* TheGhost: It has not only yet to appear, but is being deliberately kept as mysterious as possible. It is not included in the Data Bank along with the other Aeons, its description can only be briefly seen in a random loading screen, and is only briefly mentioned by Herta in Nanook's Simulated Universe file.

The Aeon of Equilibrium, a formless being who has never been witnessed by the universe. [=HooH=] watches over the universe, nudging things where needed to further their mission, confident that balance will eventually be achieved.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: To Ena the Order. The Swarm Disaster portion of Herta's Simulated Universe reveals when Ena disappeared, countless suns disappeared along with them -- but the voice of Equilibrium returned the suns to countless systems. What exactly this means is unclear, but it implies there is a connection.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Has purportedly achieved this to an even ''greater'' extent than what Aeons grasp by default. [=HooH=] is said to have "dissolved their will into the web of logic behind the universe's movement", making them more akin to a background process of the universe itself than a galactic deity as Aeons are traditionally considered.

* BigBrotherIsWatching: The Equilibrium is said to observe the entirety of the universe, factoring even the tiniest, most insignificant variables into their eternal quest for universal balance. Even those acting to defy their mandate have long since become a part of [=HooH=]'s surveillance network, contributing even in their defiance.

* TheGhost: While several Aeons qualify for this trope, either because they've long since vanished or because they haven't yet been introduced to the player, [=HooH=] and Mythus are distinct from them in that their true forms have never reportedly been witnessed by ''anyone'', even their followers. Their form is finally shown in Simulated Universe: Gold and Gears.
* GodIsNeutral: In this case, god is extremely neutral. Although [=HooH=] interferes enough with the universe to avoid becoming TheWatcher, it ultimately favors nothing and no-one beyond what is required to balance various factors of creation. Even the Arbitrators, the faction of mortals who formed around [=HooH=] in admiration of it and its quest for balance, are given minimal consideration by the Aeon.
* MeaningfulName: Even their name is perfectly balanced: in the Chinese script, 互 (''Hù''), has both horizontal and vertical symmetry and translates to "reciprocally". The English script renders it as "[=HooH=]" to approximate that symmetricality.

* ADayInTheLimelight: The Swarm Disaster event of Herta's Simulated Universe reveals that Ena played a key role in ending it, and also shows much about their character. Can also be considered ADeathInTheLimelight, as Ena disappeared about midway into the story shown by the simulation.

* BigGood: Can be see as one during the Swarm Disaster. Ena was the one who gathered the coalition of Aeons to wage war with Tayzzyronth, specifically inviting Qlipoth to a dialogue which suggested the Order was trying to convince the Preservation about how ending the Disaster was in their best interest.
* ControlFreak: Herta outright describes them as one. Considering their dedication to Order and their thread/puppet string motif, it makes sense.
* EndOfAnEra: Ena's death near the end or some time after the Swarm Disaster is implied to be one, as with their death, calamities suppressed by Ena's Order can now form.
* GodOfOrder: Obviously, Ena seeks to impose their philosophy of Order across the universe and all its worlds. In fact, Ena was considered by Herta to be one of the few Aeons who commonly interacted with mortals for the sole purpose of maintaining order, and was willing to initiate a dialogue and an alliance between Aeons, who are usually solitary entities, to eliminate threats to her order.

* OrderIsNotGood: Ena might be the BigGood of the universe during the Swarm Disaster, but like any Aeon, Ena subscribed to BlueAndOrangeMorality. Ena's form heavily implied their definition of Order was to watch over and manipulate everything with their "threads".
* PeoplePuppets: In "Destruction: I" story of Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster, the Trailblazer is somehow engulfed in a "desire for destruction", only for their limbs to be restrained by invisible strings, which causes said urge to recede suddenly. At the same time, Ena appears, and the text implies that they did this out of either love or a desire for "order".
* PosthumousCharacter: Kafka explains Ena ceased to exist after they and their Path were absorbed by Xipe. They first show up in one story of Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster.
* RealityWarper: Swarm Disaster portion of Simulated Universe reveals Ena had been suppressing countless calamities across the universe, including the Trailblazer ("Akivili" in said universe)'s "urge for destruction". Along with the fact that Nanook hasn't existed yet during the era (according to Herta), it's implied that the concept/thought for "destruction" was actively blocked by Ena up until their disappearance.

Their affiliated factions are the Masked Fools and Mourning Actors. The former believe that the ultimate meaning of all things lies in laughter, and thus spend their time mocking others for their flaws and causing chaos for their own amusement, while the latter seek to defy Elation and tries to convey the idea of necessary sadness and tragedy to the universe, only for Aha to find them amusing and bless them with the Aeon's power.

In Simulated Universe, their Blessings of Elation grants boons related to follow-up attacks.

--> When the Aeon of Elation climbed to the highest branch on the Tree of Existence, they saw the cold and despicable void, the stars operating like machinery, and how the meaning of all things bows before nothingness. They continued looking until they saw a baby fall to the ground and cry because it had been wronged. The Aeon burst into laughter so clear it tore through the cold universe and still reverberates through the universe today.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Just because Aha embodies the very concept of amusement doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. Aha is still an Aeon, with all the nasty BlueAndOrangeMorality that entails. Herta's writings describe an incident where Aha disguised themselves as a human and joined the Astral Express for over a year, and when they got the opportunity, Aha blew up an entire planet and half the Express along with it.

* TheChessmaster: Aha's ''modus operandi'' is less about grand displays of power like other Aeons and more about subtly manipulating people or entities to do their bidding.
--> '''Fu Xuan, in the book Glimpses into the Beyond:''' "It would be wrong to assume that the Joyseeker is a jester among the Aeons. Yes, they can't really perform earth-shattering miracles like the Reignbow Arbiter or the Firmamend Arbiter. However, by using their invisible hand, they can imperceptibly influence the movements of all living things. This demonstrates an extraordinary and delicate manipulation of reality."
* ForTheEvulz: Being the metaphysical embodiment of Elation, Aha exhibits all forms of humor as their whims command, especially humor at another's expense. What they do could be as harmless as a pie to the face, or as horrifying as ending a species. Their followers, the Masked Fools, could be described as a cult of {{Troll}}s who basically go around the galaxy to piss people off as much as possible. This is acknowledged in gameplay with their Elation Blessings in the Simulated Universe which empowers your characters by attacking out-of-turn, interfering with the flow of the battle and potentially turning the whole thing chaotic. Aha will even go as far as to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy entire planets]] just for a joke.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The Simulated Universe version of Aha is distinct from other simulated Aeons in that they are ''fully aware'' the whole thing is a simulation, including themself. Not only that, it also knows the Trailblazer is just impersonating Akivili and the real Aeon has long died. Aha nevertheless still pretends to treat them as if they were Akivili, sarcastically apologizing for blowing up the Astral Express (which the ''real'' Aha did to Akivili when the latter was still alive). Herta's comments suggest this seems to always happen each time they simulate Aha.

* PsychopathicManchild: The Trailblazer's interactions with them in the Simulated Universe suggest they often act like a child in constant need of stimulation.

* {{Troll}}: If the parable of their birth is any indication, Aha appears to delight in the misery and suffering of lesser beings. They even went out of their way to bless a group of people who seek to defy the Path of Elation, seemingly just to mock them.

Their followers are the Riddlers, who distort and deconstruct language, and the History Fictionologists, who obfuscate and erase history in the hopes of saving people from the stagnation of total certainty.

* TheGhost: While several Aeons qualify for this trope, either because they've long since vanished or because they haven't yet been introduced to the player, Mythus and [=HooH=] are distinct from them in that their true forms have never reportedly been witnessed by ''anyone'', even their followers.
* GodOfKnowledge: A variant. Mythus aims to subvert and obfuscate knowledge by creating myths and deconstructing language. They believe that if all knowledge of the universe became known, the universe might become stagnant.
* TheHeavy: Implied to have their hand and followers on pretty much every faction who seek to figure out truths in the universe, in an effort to sabotage the accumulation of knowledge or fabricate truths.

* LostCommonKnowledge: Mythus's goal is speculated to be rendering ''all'' knowledge lost. Followers of the Path of Enigmata are actively obscuring history and killing languages, while the Aeon themself seem to be sabotaging attempts to accumulate more knowledge. As an example, the ''Star Rail'' universe has civilizations which are several thousands of years ahead of humanity from ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd''. Yet, it is only recently the Genius Society progressed scientific research far enough to identify Imaginary as a unique element, a discovery that humanity of ''Honkai Impact 3rd'' identified early in the Previous Era, which was more than 50,000 years prior to the AD Calendar. Welt, who notices this discrepancy, believes the Enigmata is responsible for the oddness of knowledge progression and missing history in ''Star Rail'' universe.
* TheManBehindTheMan: It's implied that they, along with Aha, were the ones behind the events where some organic humans took on the late Emperor Rubert's Anti-Organic Equation and starting the Second Rubert Wars.

The Aeon of Voracity, an ancient Leviathan who has carved a Path of their very own into the universe.

* GorgeousGorgon: They resemble a gorgon with green snakes as hair, surrounded by larger, more monstrous snakes.
* LastOfItsKind: If Oroboros really is a Leviathan, then it would be the last one left alive in the known universe, discounting the artificial creatures created from the remains of Leviathans which are part of the Antimatter Legion.

* SirenSong: The Trailblazer's first encounter with them in the Simulated Universe has Oroboros singing with a beautiful and alluring voice to lure them in so it can devour them. It nearly worked until Herta paused the simulation.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite Oroboros being prominent in the early portions of the Swarm Disaster as depicted by Herta's Simulated Universe, it simply disappears midway along with Ena with no mention of what happens to it near the end and after the crisis, as if obscured.

* DragonsAreDivine: As an Aeon who took the shape of a Chinese dragon, this trope is naturally applied to them.

The Aeon of Beauty, believed by the universe to have died long ago, leaving their Path without a master. Their followers include the Mirror Holders, who seek the pieces of the Beauty to revive them, and the Knights of Beauty, a group of skilled and fearless knights who fervently worship Idrila and believe they never died.

* LiterallyShatteredLives: The most common interpretation of Idrila's death. It is the belief of their followers, the Mirror Holders, that this was ultimately caused by differing opinions and perspectives of beauty across the universe fracturing the concept of "true" beauty into endless variations, reflecting back on Idrila as actual physical damage.
* MagicMirror: Idrila is an example of this trope inflated to deific proportions. The only image associated with them is one of a shattering mirror, and purported fragments of their body take the form of magical mirrors capable of projecting "beautiful" reflections into reality.
* OnlyMostlyDead: What the Mirror Holders believe in regard to Idrila's current existence. They know that they have long since died, but believe it may be possible for them to return should the concept of beauty across the universe be reunified into a single expression. This contrasts with the Knights of Beauty, who don't believe Idrila is dead at all.
* PatronGod: Serves as such to the [[ArtifactCollectionAgency Mirror Holders]] and the [[KnightInShiningArmor Knights of Beauty]], even long after their own death.

* PosthumousCharacter: Idrila is held to have disappeared long before the present era, most of the universe and even her followers believing they had died.
* SaveYourDeity: The overall goal of the Mirror Holders. They continue to believe in Idrila's divinity despite their death and seek to reunify their body and the ideal of beauty to enable their revival.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Reportedly. While there are no images or descriptions of Idrila to say anything about their appearance, having carved the Path of Beauty into the universe through their actions proved that they were a ''looker'' if nothing else.

The Aeon of Remembrance, appearing in the form of a crystal emperor. Fuli wanders the universe in search of memories, likewise tasking their followers, Garden of Recollection, with the same mission. Among them, however, secretly lie the Cremators, who believe that some memories are less than desirable and deserve to be deleted beyond recovery.

In Simulated Universe, their Blessings of Remembrance grants boons related to freezing enemies, allowing you to delay enemies' turns repeatedly.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Fuli, from their name and CoolCrown, has distinctively Chinese cultural elements, linking them with the similarly Chinese-inspired Xianzhou Alliance. Combined with the fact that the Xianzhou Alliance was established because their ancestors' emperor (who also wore a CoolCrown that is similar to Fuli's, as seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_NJovUIrOc ''History of the Xianzhou: Seven Arbiter-Generals'']]) wanted to be remembered eternally, there is a possibility that Fuli is that emperor who managed to AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.
* TheArk: Fuli's ultimate goal, so said by the Garden of Recollection that revere and serve them, is to accumulate the universe's memories in order to construct a blueprint of creation. Then, after Destruction has had its due and all has fallen silent, Fuli will use this blueprint to make the universe anew. During the Swarm Disaster, Fuli is implied to have closely followed the trails of Oroboros the Voracity to try to obtain memories of the worlds devoured by the latter.
* BackstoryInvader: When Fuli ascended as an Aeon, it tempers with the memories of pretty much every living being except for perhaps the Aeons, making it as if Fuli has always existed. This makes it impossible to say for certain, at least for mortals, when exactly it came into being.

* TheFaceless: Their entire face is blanked out.

The Aeon of Propagation, an ancient, deceased deity who threatened the entire universe with their rapidly reproducing HordeOfAlienLocusts called the Swarm. They are the focus of the Swarm Disaster game mode of the Simulated Universe.\\\

In the Simulated Universe, their Blessings of Propagation confer benefits revolving around basic attacks and the usage of skill points.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Is the front and center focus of ''Swarm Disaster'' event of Herta's Simulated Universe, being the literal parent of all of the Swarm. Doubles as ADeathInTheLimelight, as it is eventually killed by a coalition of Aeons.
* AlmightyIdiot: Despite being a god-like being who can single-handedly breed indefinite amounts of world-devouring insects, Herta's notes indicate that Tayzzyronth itself was not only timid, it was also pretty much mindless and only driven by the instinct to reproduce. As later explained by its Path, this is justified: Propagation is not so much a spiritual philosophy as much as it is an ''instinctive'' one. The mind and the spirit is nothing more than a byproduct of the instinct to live and propagate, and as such unnecessary to life as Path of Propagation expresses.

* CharacterSelectForcing: Their Blessings of Propagation gives boons related to basic attacks and consuming/recovering skill points. While technically all characters can easily benefit from these blessings (unlike Elation), they'll work better if you have characters with enhanced basic attacks, and/or especially those who consume a lot of skill points. As of Swarm Disaster's introduction (1.3), there are only 2 characters who fit both descriptions: Qingque and the Imbibitor Lunae. Coincidentally, they're Quantum and Imaginary-type respectively, which match the weakness types of the new enemy type introduced, the Swarm.
* EnemyMine: Tayzzyronth posed such a massive threat to the universe that its fellow Aeons, who are normally solitary entities, found it necessary to form an alliance to destroy Tayzzyronth in a war.

* HatesBeingAlone: How it ascended to Aeonhood. It was the LastOfItsKind and was so desperate for companionship that it created a whole new Path.

* InsectoidAliens: Naturally, since they are an insectoid Aeon that gives birth to space-faring insects.
* LastOfItsKind: They are said to be the last of the Coleoptera race.

* NotQuiteDead: Hinted at. While the rest of the galaxy and the Stellaron Hunters believe that Tayzzyronth is dead, the Xianzhou Alliance believes the opposite, theorizing that Tayzzyronth isn't completely put down for good and it's only a matter of time before they regenerate their full body to rise up once again, according to an excerpt from the in-universe book "Glimpses of the Beyond".
-->"''According to the scholar, such horrors have not completely disappeared. The Imperator Insectorum's descendants remain, and their own body could return at any moment. This scholar once showed me his collection -- A dull yellow piece of amber with moving flecks and a buzzing tremor. I was absolutely gob-smacked to hear him say that it is part of the "Imperator Insectorum's Prison Cell." The omniscia implanted in my forehead could not see the future of this item, which only serves to corroborate the scholar's claims. All I can do is pray in silence to the Reignbow that such a day will not come soon.''"

* PosthumousCharacter: Kafka states Tayzzyronth is long dead by present time. Their character is explored in Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster, added in Version 1.3.

* SnowballingThreat: Due to the nature of their Path, Tayzzyronth - who was once the last of their kind - overwhelmed the universe with their spawns, out of sheer instinct to propagate. The Aeon was eventually stopped by coalition of several other Aeons, and the Swarm Disaster is no more, but some small amounts of the Swarm survived and still roams the cosmos to this day.

** Aeons can wage wars on other Aeons to destroy the means by which an Aeon can express themselves. This is how Tayzzyronth the Propagation fell.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: According to a damaged memory bubble, after Akivili was told off by Pom-Pom for all the trouble THEY caused, Akivili described THEMSELVES as the worst Nameless ever, though Pom-Pom reassured THEM that that title belonged to the person who once blew up the train (actually a disguised Aha).

Lan is the patron god of the Xianzhou Alliance, who follow them in their quest to destroy Yaoshi the Abundance and their followers wherever they find them. The other faction affiliated with Lan is the Galaxy Rangers, who believe in Lan's ideals of using violence against violence and have vowed to hunt down injustice and evil all across the galaxy.

* {{Cernunnos}}: They are a God of Hunting who is typically symbolized by deers with emphasis on the antlers.

* {{Determinator}}: The Path of Hunt encourages this, particularly in the form of single minded pursuit toward a goal or an objective. The simulated universe version of Lan the Hunt chooses to ignore the Trailblazer (which should have registered as Akivili), simply because Akivili has nothing to do with Lan and their current hunt.
* TheFaceless: Their CoolHelmet hides their entire face.

* GravityMaster: Lan is said to use "gravity as their bowstring and stars as their arrows".
* IHaveManyNames: They're called the "Reignbow Arbiter" or "Archer Lord of Fate" by their followers, while followers of Yaoshi call them "Devilish Archer Author".
* LightIsGood: Lan is heavily associated with light, and in the Xianzhou Alliance's eyes they help to maintain order and prevent them from repeating the mistakes that almost led to the end of their civilisation.
* TheMarvelousDeer: Their symbol features a deer's head.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Lan may be the Xianzhou's patron Aeon, but do not mistake them for a guardian deity. Lan lives almost exclusively to smite their targets from existence, and will not stop for anything. If Lan considers something a problem, they will solve it by destroying it with extreme prejudice. Other concerns, like collateral damage against even their own followers, are of comparatively little concern; Yukong bitterly remembers a battle in which Lan's arrows wiped out the enemy only after the Xianzhou had already sacrificed countless lives to hold the line, wondering aloud what mortal struggles are to an Aeon who can make problems go away with the snap of a finger.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: In one of Herta's Simulated Universe entries, she makes such a comment about Lan and Yaoshi regarding their DestructiveSaviour tendencies:
--> ''This is the action and creed of The Hunt, for whom salvation and destruction are nigh indistinguishable. Their perpetual enemy, the Abundance, is the same, for they bring healing and torment hand-in-hand...''
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Appears as a masked and armored centaur with wheels where their hind legs should be.

* {{Revenge}}: The Path of Hunt encourages ruthlessness, and revenge is a suitable mindset to encourage such quality. Notably, the Xianzhou Alliance pursue Yaoshi and Denizens of Abundance partially because the blessing of immortality from Yaoshi had done much wrong to their people. [[spoiler:After defeating Phantyllia, Jing Yuan declares that Lan will now hunt down Nanook as revenge for what their Lord Ravager had done to the Luofu.]]
* SacredBowAndArrows: As Aeon of the Hunt, Lan is heavily associated with bow and arrows to shoot at their adversaries, primarily Yaoshi.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Lan and the Xianzhou Alliance go to extreme lengths to hunt down Yaoshi and their followers, and they will not stop until their adversaries are [[FinalSolution exterminated]]. No matter where Yaoshi hides, Lan will find them. Lampshaded by Welt who calls the Path "narrow"; as Paths themselves restrict the respective Aeons into a particular way of thinking, "the Hunt" as a concept symbolizes singular, unchanging obsession or focus, hence making it a narrow path enforced by persistence. This is also why playable characters of the Hunt excels in powerful single-target damage and high speed.
* SuperSpeed: Their blessings in the Simulated Universe have a strong focus on allowing your trailblazers to attack ahead of the enemy, even multiple times.

The factions affiliated with them are the Genius Society, whose members are picked by Nous themselves, and Intelligentsia Guild, who believe that knowledge should be freely flowing like currency and are more open to all beings who seek to learn.

In Simulated Universe, their Blessings of Erudition are introduced in 1.6 alongside the new expansion "Gold and Gears". Said blessings grant you boons related to Ultimate and AOE attacks.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While this trope applies to all Aeons in general, particular mention goes to Nous because they decide who joins the Genius Society based on raw genius potential alone regardless of the morality of the individuals in question. Because of this, the members of the Genius Society can vary wildly on the morality spectrum, ranging from genuinely good people like Aiden and Screwllum, to heinous psychopaths like Rubert and Dr. Primitive (the former tried to kill all organic life in the galaxy while the latter is a wanted MadScientist on the run from authorities).

* GodInHumanForm: According to Fu Xuan's character story, when she was younger, she entered a "library" and asked a question to an old blind man inside, about whether fate is truly set in stone or it can still be changed by more precise prediction and correct actions. He told her that he cannot answer it, and can only present her a problem and a way to perceive it. She responded by asking him to grant her the "[[ThirdEye eye]]"; he agreed, but also warned her that to accept said eye means to endure endless "torture". She then realized that it is the Wisdomwalker's creed. This, combined with how the "Erudition Keys" trace-leveling material talked about "key to open a library" and how Nous can't give answers, only questions, all imply that the old man was none other than Nous themselves.
* GodOfKnowledge: As the Aeon of Erudition, Nous was originally a computer designed to provide answers that ascended to godhood. It seeks to calculate the essence of the universe and selects the most intelligent beings in the universe to be part of the Genius Society. Those who walk the Path of Erudition admire thinking, logic, and strategic behavior.

* TheSpock: The Path of Erudition appears to encourage a mindset built around logic and reasoning. Notably, Nous extends its blessings to both Genius Society and Intelligentsia Guild, which are often at conflict regarding how knowledge should be pursued and spread (the former only seeks knowledge relevant and to be hoarded for geniuses, while the latter appreciates all forms of knowledge and spreads it to all), suggesting Nous does not really care how things are carried out as long as knowledge continues to be accumulated.

As befits the theme of harmony and unity, they have only one affiliated faction, called simply "The Family" whose members come from various worlds.

* CelestialBody: They wear a dress made of galaxies and gas clouds.
* CleavageWindow: Their dress exposes their sternum.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: They appear as a feminine humanoid with purple skin.
* HolyHalo: They are shown to have a vividly colourful, abstractly-shaped UnusualHalo, as befitting their Aeon status.

* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long white hair that reaches their calves, giving a supernatural impression befitting an Aeon.

* NiceIsNotGood: Xipe is praised as an Aeon who spreads the blessings of joy, happiness, and harmony to their followers. However, like all Aeons, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality the actions undertaken according to their Path can be difficult to comprehend through conventional morality]]. Case in point, they assimilated the Path of Order and its Aeon, Ena, when they ascended, implying control and restriction of free will are parts of the unity Harmony brings. Their associated faction, the Family, is also willing to resort to shady methods when necessary in order to enforce the will of Harmony, such as in Penacony.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: Implied to have this as Black Swan's narration during their segment in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JruxFQurUDQ Myriad Celestia trailer]] starts to [[PowerEchoes echo]] and feature multiple voices speaking in-sync. The Swarm Disaster portion of Herta's Simulated Universe also reveals Xipe speaks with at least 2 different voices; while they are in sync most of the time, the two voices can sometimes pick different words to say something ("Akivili / The Trailblaze?" for example), with one text colored red and the other purple, implying Xipe is a MindHive.

Their affiliated factions (for a loose sense of "affiliated") are the Self-Annihilators and Doctors of Chaos. Both have received the gaze of IX, but the former became dejected and truly nihilistic while the latter became curious, determining in defiance of their Aeon's beliefs that there is meaning to existence. There's also supposedly another faction associated with the Nihility called Device IX, but whether it actually exists at all beyond mere rumors and speculations is deemed a mystery.

In Simulated Universe, their Blessings of Nihility grants your characters boons related to debuffs, especially DamageOverTime effects.

* AdorableAbomination: For an EldritchAbomination consisting of a black hole, IX appears quite cute with their "head" consisting of a purple blob with sad-looking and small beady eyes.
* TheAntiNihilist: IX has a group of these as their followers. The Doctors of Chaos are people who have comprehended the vast abyss of the Path of Nihility, and concludes meaninglessness is not the answer to the universe. Thus, they are trying to "cure" IX the Aeon through sufficiently meaningful actions, hence being Doctors.

* BrownNoteBeing: In the simulated universe, IX notices the Trailblazer (as Akivili), and its presence nearly drives the Trailblazer to mindless despair. According to Herta, IX in the simulation is not even trying to do anything harmful; its stare just inadvertently causes it.

* GeniusLoci: Strongly implied. While every other Aeon revealed so far is a person or creature of sorts (or a supercomputer in Nous' case), IX is described to be a ''location'', being a sentient black hole complete with an accreation disk orbiting around them. Their exact whereabouts in the universe still remains a mystery.

* NonMaliciousMonster: The simulated universe IX can cause BrownNote on beings just from its presence, regardless of its intentions. This is true for the real IX as well. It does not actively hand out its cursed "blessings", the Self-Annihilators were simply unfortunate enough to have come into contact with it.

* UnrealisticBlackHole: IX is described as a black hole, and their official render even shows that they have an accreation disk orbiting around them with planets being torn apart by tidal forces, which is about as close to a realistic depiction of a black hole that IX will ever get. However, they have a CelestialBody of stars with beady sad eyes giving them a CuteSlimeMook-like appearance for an event horizon, which is of course nothing like an actual black hole, on top of lacking General Relativity effects such as gravitational lensing, time dialation, and the Doppler shift of light on their accreation disk.

Their affiliated factions are the Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC) and The Architects. The former began as a "support group" to assist Qlipoth in their astronomical fortification building before slowly becoming the largest economic entity in the galaxy, while the latter does the same thing but with an unchanging focus in building fortifications, including in Jarilo-VI; there, they're also involved behind the founding and managing of the Silvermane Guards.

* GodOfGood: The closest equivalent among the currently alive Aeons, Qlipoth's goal is to protect and preserve all life and planets, and though their method is through separating the worlds through walls, they at the same time permit and sponsor the Interastral Peace Corporation who instead tries to connect the universe through trade, and even sent an [[TheChosenOne Emanator]] to be among the IPC despite their actions running contrary to the Aeon's wishes. However, Qlipoth is also noted to be infamously aloof, rarely even glancing in the direction of their followers. This aloofness is noted by both Himeko and Cocolia herself as having been a significant factor in why Cocolia abandoned the path of the Preservation and found her hope in the Stellaron's "promised new world" instead.
* GoodIsDumb: Qlipoth may be the most benevolent of the Aeons revealed so far (barring the late Akivili), but they're not without their flaws. It's worth noting the philosophy behind their Path is actually not understood by the vast majority of followers; all they can understand is a voice telling to "build a wall" without context, which doesn't automatically translate to a noble cause. Their followers, the Architects, are also known for misusing their philosophy for trying to shill fortifications for civilizations without considering the consequences or whether it would actually benefit them long-term. For example, one Architect on the Xianzhou Luofu named Greyla tells a story about how she convinced a planet's civilization to build what's essentially a DysonSphere-esque wall around them for better protection at the cost of ''blocking out its host star''[='=]''s light from reaching its surface'', and even then, [[ArmorIsUseless the wall didn't work]], and [[ShaggyDogStory the planet was destroyed by hostile forces regardless]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: As benevolent as Qlipoth is known to be, it is still an Aeon with all the cosmic power that title implies. The Swarm Disaster event reveals, among other things, that Qlipoth was the one who dealt the final blow to Tayzzyronth the Propagation with a star sized golden hammer, mercilessly destroying the insect Aeon even as its roars of pain can be heard across the galaxy.
* {{Golem}}: Certainly gives the impression of looking like one, with its amber and rock-like body.
* HumongousHeadedHammer: Qlipoth wields a hammer of galactic proportions, with each swing carrying the power of an entire planet slamming down, so powerful that the sound echoes across the universe, and has even become a standard unit of time to measure eras ("Amber Era"). In the Swarm Disaster, they used it to deal the final blow onto Tayzzyronth.

* PatronGod: They are the patron Aeon of the Interastral Peace Corporation as well as the Belobog CitadelCity of Jarilo-VI.

* StarfishLanguage: The Swarm Disaster event reveals Qlipoth was among the Aeons Ena invited in their coalition to destroy Tayzzyronth, and reveals Qlipoth has this. In fact, while the Trailblazer can translate what Ena says to Qlipoth using their Stellaron, they quite literally cannot comprehend a single word from Qlipoth, rendered in text form as jumbled mess of fonts with no alphabet. This is implied to be the reason why Qlipoth is only able to say "build a wall" to its followers.
* ThemeNaming: Their Blessings of Preservation in Simulated Universe are prefixed by "Construct" (1-star), "Interstellar Construct" (2-star) and "Divine Construct" (3-star).

The Aeon of the Abundance, representing concepts such as life and healing. Pathstriders who walk on Yaoshi's Path admire selflessness, altruism, and healing behaviour. Despite Yaoshi's benevolent intentions, their quest to spread immortality has done more harm than good, with many of those blessed by them turning into violent, bestial monsters. The Xianzhou Alliance's people have come to loathe Yaoshi due their civilization nearly being destroyed as a result of the Aeon's blessing, so the Alliance and their patron god Lan the Hunt have sworn to destroy Yaoshi and their followers.\\\

Their affiliated factions include Denizens of Abundance and Elixir Seekers. The former are the civilizations which received the Aeon's blessing and fervently worshipped them in return, while the latter are the Xianzhou Alliance's ancestors who originally sought Yaoshi to attain immortality. There's also a secret sect in the Xianzhou called the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, who wish to continue their civilization's old way of worshipping Yaoshi against the wishes of the rest of the Xianzhou.

In Simulated Universe, their Blessings of Abundance grants boons based on healing, whether by giving you various ways to heal your party or granting your characters buffs when they get healed.

* CleavageWindow: The robes that they wear leaves a large part of their chest exposed to show the three gashes located there.
* ExtraEyes: Yaoshi is described in the Simulated Universe to have "tens of thousands of eyes". At least some of those eyes can be seen in the portrait above, where they take the form of red eyes appearing in long gashes in their skin.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: They have eyes with black scleras and red pupils all over their various limbs.

* GodIsFlawed: Some have described Yaoshi as being [[GodIsGood the most benevolent of the Aeons]] as they go out their way to heal people. The Xianzhou however believe Yaoshi to be evil and hate them to the point where they see worship of them as heresy. Regardless of Yaoshi's actual morality, in terms of actions they do seem to fail to prepare for the consequences of their gift of immortality, which can easily turn into a FateWorseThanDeath for the affected or even result in planet-wide ecological disasters. It's hard to know for sure whether Yaoshi means for this to happen, but it does happen uncomfortably often.
* GreenThumb: They granted the immortality that the Xianzhou Alliance's ancestors were seeking with the extremely tall Ambrosial Arbor tree, and are also pictured sitting on a throne made of vines while holding an ear of wheat. They are also symbolised by two intersecting ears of wheat.
* HarmfulHealing: Yaoshi has a tendency to do more harm than good. Their blessings are known to cure people's diseases and prevent them from aging with the unfortunate side effect of eventually turning them into aggressive monsters.
* HealerGod: One of their titles is the Merciful Medicus, and Pathstriders of the Path of Abundance are similarly healer units.

* HornedHumanoid: Sports deer horns on the sides of their head.

* IHaveManyNames: They're also known as Merciful Medicus by their followers, while their opponents (mainly people of the Xianzhou Alliance) name them "Plagues' Author" or "Deathless Doom".

* MythicalMotifs: Building on Yaoshi's UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}}-inspired elements, their name is taken from the Chinese name for the Buddha of healing and medicine [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaisajyaguru Bhaisajyaguru]], 药师佛 (Yàoshīfó), as befitting a HealerGod. Its behavior and blessing, however, are essentially a 'corrupted' version of a Buddha: whereas Buddhism teaches of the importance of impermanence and how desire and life itself is the root of all suffering, Yaoshi teaches and spreads material permanence in the form of immortality and states that death is the root of all suffering.

* NiceIsNotGood: Yaoshi is described as one of the nicest and most affable of the Aeons, whose actions and philosophy embody generally positive traits like healing and altruism. However, they're [[EldritchAbomination still an Aeon]], so BlueAndOrangeMorality still applies to them. Yaoshi is vehemently hated by the people of the Xianzhou Alliance due to granting them [[WhoWantsToLiveForever near immortality]] and some of their ardent followers like the Order of Sanctum Medicus are just as destructive and dangerous as followers of more 'evil' Aeons.
* ObliviouslyEvil: It's an in-universe debate whether Yaoshi knows the consequences of their actions and doesn't care, or they're this trope and only see that their spreading of life is good without regards to the quality of that life.
* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: Among the humanoid Aeons, Yaoshi is the most androgynous-looking due to a lack of any clearly identifiable secondary sexual characteristics on their body alongside a feminine face and long hair. Further muddling the situation is Yaoshi being referred with they/them pronouns when the Trailblazer encounters them in the Simulated Universe while the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JruxFQurUDQ Fables About the Stars Part 1 trailer]] uses she/her pronouns.

* {{Plaguemaster}}: They are this to the Xianzhou, who refer to them as the Plagues Author as their blessing of longevity caused longevity-related sicknesses and ailments among them and almost caused their civilisation to crumble.

Mysterious, godlike entities who roam the universe. Each one is a powerful RealityWarper who has left a mark upon reality itself in the form of Paths, an embodiment of philosophy through which life and the universe itself may take form. Simply living in accordance to the values espoused by a Path can bestow SuperEmpowering to mortals, and Aeons themselves can [[TouchedByVorlons bless entire worlds]] with physics-defying, supernatural powers.

Due to their powers and influence, the Aeons are deified by many across the universe, forming a group of followers or worshippers who each attempt to live in accordance to the Paths of their Aeons. The Astral Express itself can be considered a group of followers of Trailblaze, although the Path has been left masterless after Akivili died under unknown circumstances.

* AbstractApotheosis: Many of them are former mortals, but upon ascending, they become bound to their paths and their mentality completely changes. According to Welt and Himeko, they are bound to the ''Primum Mobile'', causing them to lose free will and the ability to process anything outside the path they represent. They literally ''cannot'' act against the Path they represent. For example, the Harmony will never raise a ruckus, the Abundance will keep spreading immortal life, the Propagation became mindless as intelligence is considered useless for the instinct to propagate, and more. Their way of thinking becomes so alien that asking them questions is usually pointless. Aeons capable of communicating with their followers on a personal level are the exception rather than the rule, and none of the living ones can reliably do so. Out of all the Aeons, Akivili was probably the only one that fully retained the ability to relate to mortals. Even after creating simulated, modified replicas of them, Herta still requires the help of a person containing a stellaron to bridge the communication barrier.
* AmbiguousGender: It is debatable if gender is a concept which applies to Aeons. Only some have humanoid forms, and even among those there are quite a few being referred with they/them pronouns regardless of the gender expressions of their forms. In the Chinese text, all Aeons are referred to with the pronoun "祂" (tā), which is primarily used to refer to the Abrahamic god, but can also refer to other deities. As of the 2.1 update, Aeons (and other deific figures) are referred to with all-caps pronouns as a reflection of this. Prior existing text in the game was also revised to match the change.

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The followers of many Aeons claim they were once lesser, mortal lifeforms before becoming Aeons. How it happened differ between Aeon to Aeon, and the exact specifics are unclear.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Aeons became what they are by living through a philosophy with which life can be lived, and after a certain point embody that philosophy so thoroughly in a vast and encompassing manner to the point it is difficult for mortals to truly comprehend their mindsets. This is most obvious with Yaoshi the Abundance; their gift of immortality is bestowed with apparently benevolent intentions, but the consequence can range from genuinely helpful (to Denizens of Abundance) to catastrophic (to the Xianzhou Alliance).
* CallBack: Though Aeons are entities which are first introduced to the Honkai [[TheMultiverse Multiverse]] within ''Star Rail'', there have been multiple instances of entities similar to them existing or being hinted at.

* CosmicEntity: They are powerful enough to extend their influence across countless worlds, and the Paths they walked on could affect mortals across the entire known universe.
* EldritchAbomination: TranshumanAbomination kind. While they were not necessarily humans prior to their ascension, they are now vastly powerful {{Reality Warper}}s who each embody a philosophy which can be expressed within life itself.
* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: All of them are, to a certain extent: all characters directly or indirectly draw upon their paths as sources of power (even more so in the Simulated Universe thanks to their direct blessings) and at times, they tend to choose Emanators - direct representatives of their Paths that are essentially demigods. However, due to their BlueAndOrangeMorality, what most Aeons actually ''want'' is often an enigma.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Played with. Aeons do not seem to need prayer to exist, but the active following of their Paths can make those Paths stronger. This is especially important for Paths whose Aeons have died. For example, The Cancer of Worlds made the Path of Trailblaze more necessary than ever, but with Akivili dead, the Nameless struggled. They managed to empower the Path of Trailblaze by spreading stories, recording experiences, and forming their efforts into new [[TouchedByVorlons blessings]].

* IAmTheNoun: Aeons are typically referred to as being ''the'' concept they represent; for example, Lan is not just the Aeon of the Hunt, they are often directly called "the Hunt."

* LegacyImmortality: In a way. A Path is a mark which an Aeon imprinted upon reality itself through their ascension, and it persists even after the death of the Aeon. The only known way for a Path to completely disappear is if it is engulfed by a greater Path.
* MysteriousPast: The origins of many Aeons are unknown. Even for the Aeons with some known history, that history is vague. Lan, for example, is known to originate from the Xianzhou Alliance, but even the most popular story of their rise is considered to be an unconfirmed myth, and no one knows who they were as a mortal. An illusionary Herta generated by the Matrix of Prescience claims that Aeons do not ''have'' a past, because their Path overwhelms it.

*** They are said to be "emanations of God" which aren't so much "beings" as they are "[[PowersThatBe concepts]]" that exist in a purely noumenal/ideal world. In ''Star Rail'', a few characters mention that Aeons don't exist in the physical plane normally, they "project" themselves into it in order to manifest.

*** Aeons are godlike beings who each have their own understanding of the universe in accordance to the philosophies by which they ascended with, who goes on to enact that understanding upon the universe and other life. This corresponds to the ascendant state Thelemite magicians will become once they cross "the Abyss" which lies between the physical world and the higher realm from which all phenomenons originate. In fact, according to ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', [[spoiler:Thelemic understanding of the Abyss exists in the form of Honkai, which according to Kevin and Elysia, exists supposedly to assist mortal lifeforms of the universe to become greater beings through physical and spiritual adaptation]].
*** The process by which mortals become Emanators (individuals blessed by Aeons to act on their behalf) involve individuals walking down the Path of an Aeon, which sometimes may also begin with the person being greeted by a previous Emanator. This parallels how Thelemites are expected to communicate with their personal Holy Guardian Angels in their effort to find the True Will, who themselves could be previously humans as well.

* OddJobGods: Justified. Aeons are not really gods in the traditional sense, they are [[AbstractApotheosis living embodiments of philosophies of life]]. As such, each of them is technically doing the same thing -- expressing and imprinting their philosophies of how life should shape itself into the universe, and that expression differs greatly from Aeon to Aeon. Compare Nanook the Destruction who believes in the systematic destruction of everything with Aha the Elation who concludes the entire purpose of existence is to have something to laugh at.

* PatronGod: Most Aeons have "factions" that follow each Aeon's Paths. Some of the Aeons have closer relationship with their factions (i.e Nanook and Antimatter Legion, Lan and Xianzhou Alliance), while some others are possibly unaware that they had followers.
* PhysicalGod: Hits nearly every point of the trope. They are powerful enough to the point [[RealityWarper reality itself bends]] around them, and their Paths are marks left on reality itself which can influence all life across the universe. Naturally, they are deified and worshipped by many, particularly those who walk down their Paths, and each known Aeon has at least one faction serving as their followers.
* ReligionIsMagic: Their Paths act as a source of power, giving Pathstriders and Emanators their abilities and making various forms of {{Magitek}} possible.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Played with. Some of them have names taken from several different RealLife myths, such as Nanook (Inuit), Xipe (Aztec), Fuli (Taoism) and Qlipoth (Judaism), while some others have original names.
* SemiDivine: Emanators are those who have been entrusted with a degree of authority over a Path by that Path's Aeon. They are much stronger than normal Pathstriders. Some Aeons see their Emanators as extensions of themselves and give them a lot of power over their path, some do not anoint any Emanators at all.

* VagueAge: All of the Aeons have unclear ages. Lan, for example, is implied to be around 30,000 years old when they became an Aeon, but when that happened is unclear in relation to present time. More details regarding their ages are in their respective folders.
* WowingCthulhu: Pathstriders can earn blessings by following the Paths, but the most prestigious way is to impress an Aeon enough for them to give the Pathstrider [[TouchedByVorlons a glance]].
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Even Akivili, the Aeon closest to mortals, cannot be perfectly recorded by conventional technology. When the Trailblazer witnesses a recording of them, the Trailblazer can perceive what Akivili said, but does not hear their voice.

The Aeon of the Trailblaze, who created the Astral Express. In the distant past, Akivili desired to see the galaxy and the wonders it holds, leading to the creation of a system of galactic pathways called the Star Rails that span the entire cosmos. With their faithful ride, the Astral Express, Akivili sailed the galaxy alongside those who sought wonder and adventure as they did; those who followed in their footsteps became Pathwalkers of the Trailblaze referred to as the "Nameless". However, under mysterious circumstances, Akivili perished and was never seen again, leaving the Astral Express and their Pathwalkers masterless.

* DeathByOriginStory: Akivili is dead before the story even begins, but without the Aeon and the Astral Express they presided over, the many worlds across the galaxy would not even be aware of each other, much less interact. Akivili is almost definitely responsible for much of the current status quo of the known universe.
* HumbleHero: In contrast to many Aeons, Akivili was described as an Aeon willing to walk alongside their followers, instead of maintaining a solemn distance.

* {{Manchild}}: The Trailblazer purchases a memory bubble left behind by Akivili. While not entirely reliable due to being damaged and modified, it depicts Akivili as a troublemaker constantly causing problems due to their childish recklessness and needing to be told off by Pom-Pom. Pom-Pom proceeded to punish them with cleaning duty. Akivili's antics include:

** Splurging a huge chunk of their budget buying 250 nosewalker cubs as pets, keeping them in the bathroom, and allowing them to breed out of control, filling the other carriages with sewage.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: According to a damaged memory bubble, after Akivili was told off by Pom-Pom for all the trouble they caused, Akivili described themselves as the worst Nameless ever, though Pom-Pom reassured them that that title belonged to the person who once blew up the train (actually a disguised Aha).

* PatronGod: Akivili existed as a patron of all travelers, but was most importantly the deity of the Nameless, those who rode the Astral Express across the stars with him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Due to an unknown accident during their travels, Akivili is long since dead. The Astral Express itself was abandoned and left to rot before Himeko found and repaired it. Solving the mystery of the circumstances leading up to Akivili's death is part of Himeko's motivation to assist the Astral Express find its way home.

Nanook leads the Antimatter Legion, who they bless directly to spread destruction across the worlds. The Annihilation Gang also professes faith in Nanook and destroys in their name, but Nanook looks at them with disdain at best for their "impure" reasons to destroy.

* AlienBlood: Bleeds bright yellow from their wounds all over their body.

* BarbarianLongHair: Has three braids reaching past their waist.
* BraidsOfBarbarism: Wears several braids in their hair.

* DarkIsEvil: The Antimatter Legion is of the few factions in the game which various descriptions and entries outright call "evil", and Nanook is both its leader and PatronGod. What few clothing the Aeon wears also include a black waistcloth and several strips of black cloth on their forearms.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite the above, as an Aeon Nanook operates on BlueAndOrangeMorality, and as AmbiguouslyEvil entry above has described, Nanook cannot be clearly defined as "evil" even if they are the GreaterScopeVillain of the cosmos.

* DestroyerDeity: They're often just referred as 'the Destruction', and the Aeon embodies the philosophy of destruction as the way of life and the universe itself.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: It's believed Nanook was born when their home world Adlivun fell, and it has now been "destroyed".

* FloatingLimbs: As their forearms are severed from their biceps, they have no elbows.

* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long white hair, as befitting their status as Aeon.

** Adlivun, the home world of Nanook when they were mortal, is named after the Inuit afterlife.
* OmnicidalManiac: The Aeon desires nothing less than systematic and thorough destruction of the universe, and has the Antimatter Legion carry it out on a world-per-world basis. However, they downplay this in that "mania" most definitely isn't part of the Path of Destruction, given the Annihilation Gang was rejected by the Aeon for that very reason.

* RefugeInAudacity: Nanook admires recklessness, to the point [[spoiler:the sheer audacity of the Trailblazer putting themselves in front of the Doomsday beast, a planet-destroying monster of the Antimatter Legion, impresses Nanook enough to throw a glance at the Trailblazer and empower them enough to effortlessly dissipate said beasts attack while simultaneously shoving the Doomsday Beast into Welt's Black Hole using the Stellaron within themselves]].
* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: Among the humanoid Aeons, they are the only one to appear as such.

** However, the Legion themselves believe the creation of the universe was a mistake [[note]]meaning, there is a ''right'' way for existence, which contradicts nihilism by definition[[/note]], and that civilization is a growth of cancer birthed from its vast stellar. Because "war is the only common language known to all intelligent lifeforms", the Legion wage war; and "to correct the course and to rid the universe of the stain, Nanook must become the avatar of entropy." Put another way, Nanook sees the current course of the universe must be corrected due to their philosophy, and they are trying to solve it via thorough, systematic destruction.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Has these as befitting their status as an Aeon.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: The entirety of their upper body is exposed.

* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Has large, gaping wounds all over their body, with an especially large one which cuts diagonally down from their right shoulder to below their left armpit on their chest that bleeds yellow glowing AlienBlood.
