What path do Star Rail Characters ACTUALLY follow? | Honkai Star Rail

Jingliu mentioned that she already earned the gaze of an aeon, we don’t know which aeon but she still swears to bring the abundance down.

Did you know that the Omniscia of Fu Xuan was gifted by Nous? And he even met her once? It was stated in March 7's companion quest. Her predicting ability came from Nous's calculations. So she has deep ties in Erudition.

"misha serves harmony" Me in the future: hahahhahahahahhahaa

Wanna point out that in Serval's Companion Quest, she does float the idea of joining the Astral Express and is close to doing so if it wasn't for a bit of convincing from Gepard, so ultimately she doesn't go through with it. Do personally like the idea that eventually we could get more people switching their current path to join the Astral Express.

2:18 As a sidenote, Oleg used to be a Silvermane Guard, so it’s possible that he shared the Philosophy of Preservation with some other people in Wildfire

The reason why so few recieve the gaze or blessing because nobody truly understand the ideal or what the Path represent. An subtle theme that I had noticed about the rooster that lot of them seem to follow the path out of tradition, mob mentality or is part of their society not real belief behind them. Qingque, Sushang and Tingyun seems to follow the Path of Hunt because either out of duty towards their nation or was thaught at young age. While Yukong, despite the loss of her flying partner and losing her faith in Lan, still loyal to the Luofu. Gepard is another case of just following the Preservation because that's his job as Silvermane guard or his duty as Landau. The whole IPC motto is for Qiplot, and yet their actions are going against it's ideals. Meaning that the whole following the Preservation is more a propaganda or marketing tool than actual belief. The Anihlitation gang just "follow" the Destruction because of Ifrit's teachings, but not understanding it.

You can argue that fu xuan follows more with nous then lan and also jing yuan isnt stated to be an emanator he is just blessed by lan, like how fu xuan is blessed by nous.

the character paths ingame is just a label/class types ( ex. mage, warrior, archer) preservation = shielder, dmg mitigation harmony= buffers nihility= debuffers erudition= crowd dps hunt= single target dps destruction= blast dps(sacrifices something to dmg ex. consuming health/skillpoints) abundance= healers people then mix it up with the factions/paths in lore which is why causes confusion

'gallagher is a follower of the harmony'

Ratio (my beloved) also has a voice line related to Nous when he reaches the max level. "If this day I have not gained the recognition of Nous, it stands to reason that I never will in the future." Though his path in the game is The Hunt, the Aeon he truly craves validation from is Nous. If you haven't read Dr. Ratio's story details in the "information" section of his character, I highly recommend you do so. It's actually quite sad, in my opinion. This is one of the several reasons I believe he's not an actual narcissist like many people say he is.

4:30 Stellaron Hunters might get their powers from or worship the Path of the Trailblaze based on their faction's placement in the Data Bank which is placed right between Astral Express and The Nameless section (all factions in the Data Bank are sorted by their path, ex: Xianzhou and Galaxy Rangers are right next to each other whereas the Architects and IPC are next to each other)

Kinda left Lil Gui aside 😅 Though she probably doesn't really follow a concrete Path. Elation maybe since it seems to includes entertainment in general.

Based on dr. Ratio's max level voiceline, dr. Ratio hasn't drawn the gaze of Nous.

Some of the in game paths are so off character that it's kinda funny. Sparkle being a harmony character for example

update, Gallagher follows the Enigmata and Misha the Trailblaze

Fu Xuan is bonafide follower of erudition, she is literally an operator of jade abacus aka supercomputer and in the story she explicitly said so.

The paths of the aeons all have an objective: the Hunt wants to kill the Abundance, the Erudition wants to know everything about the universe to understand its meaning, the Remembrance wants to archive everything, the Destruction wants to destroy the everything and even himself afterwards... But I wonder what happens to those paths where there's a finite objective and they obtain it, the simplest example is the Hunt, what happens when Lan the Hunt will finally kill Yaoshi the Abundance? After that there's nothing, what will happen to the aeon the path? It's just something that came in my mind now

5:34 five months later, and now we know if she follows the path of the nhility as an emantator of an nhility

Luocha says in the story cutscene that his power stems from the Abundance, meaning he either is a creation of the Abundance which is just about impossible or someone who just walks the path, either way he follows the Abundance but if a conflict of the Hunt and Abundance occurs he sides with the Hunt for the reason Jingliu said, in a war between gods if he stands with the Abundance then he stands to lose Edit: he may be an emanator of the abundance as a story conversation between Jing yuan and Fu xuan reveals only an emanator could sneak the stellaron onto the Luofu

Fuxuan gained the gained the gaze of Nous in her background story
