History Characters / HonkaiStarRailAeons

* 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 one who blew up the train.

* DropTheHammer: They are said to use a hammer to build their fortifications, with people measuring the time it takes to bring their hammer down as "Amber Era". The Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster story shows that their golden hammer is the size of a star, and they used it to deal the final blow onto Tayzzyronth.

* {{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.

* ArchEnemy: Is this to Yaoshi the Abundance. Lan apparently makes it a point to pursue Yaoshi across the universe, a mindset shared with followers of the Hunt such as the Xianzhou Alliance.

* 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.

* ArchEnemy: Is this to Yaoshi the Abundance. Lan apparently makes it a point to pursue Yaoshi across the universe, a mindset shared with followers of the Hunt.

* SacredBowAndArrow: 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 exterminated. No matter where Yaoshi hides, Lan will find them.

* MeaningfulName: The extra capital tagged onto the end of "[=HooH=]" is somewhat incongruous, until you realize that that one alteration makes it so that the name will look the same even when flipped around horizontally and vertically. It is thus, perfectly balanced.
** This is [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] by the fact that [=HooH=]'s name is symmetrical in at least one way no matter what language you read it in, reading as 互 in Chinese/Japanese, 후 in Korean, and [=XyX=] in Russian.

* CharacterSelectForcing: Aha's Blessings of Elation in Simulated Universe benefits those who can do [[OutOfTurnInteraction follow-up attacks]] (CounterAttack included) - and, as of this writing, they comprise only about 1/3rd of the roster[[note]]Himeko, Herta, March 7th, Clara, Yanqing, Qingque (only with 4th Eidolon upgrade), Bronya (ditto), Jing Yuan, Blade and Kafka[[/note]]. And even among those, only Clara, Jing Yuan, Blade, and Kafka have follow-up attacks strong/consistent enough to make Blessings of Elation worthwhile to use. This can be partly alleviated with the 3-star blessing ''Champion's Dinner: Cat's Cradle'', which causes (offensive) Ultimates to count as follow-up attacks, therefore allowing many other characters to enjoy Blessings of Elation's benefits.

* DesperationAttack: In Simulated Universe, the [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Destruction]] can let you trigger an explosion that deals damage to all enemies [[SituationalDamageAttack depending on how much HP your characters have lost]]. Its Resonance Formation blessings can add extra effects to this ability: allowing it to automatically activate [[CounterAttack when your characters under 35% HP gets attacked]] without consuming its energy (limited to 2 times per battle), allowing it to [[CastFromHitPoints consume your characters' HP up until 40% left]] before use, increase its damage, and then give them a shield equal to the HP lost by this ability, and allowing it to inflict a debuff that [[DamageIncreasingDebuff decreases enemies' DEF by 20%]] and deal DamageOverTime based on some percentage of the sum of your characters' lost HP. In Swarm Disaster, you can also get Resonance Interplay buffs when you obtain 3 Preservation or 3 Elation blessings: the former lets Path Resonance grant your characters a shield if their HP is below half, while the latter allows follow-up attacks to regenerate Path Resonance's energy, and more if the character's HP is below half.

* RainOfArrows: In Simulated Universe, the [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: The Hunt]] allows you to summon a whole rain of arrows from the heavens, dealing damage to all enemies based on the ATK of your character with the highest ATK. Its Resonance Formation buffs add extra effects to this ability: doubling its maximum energy capacity and [[RegeneratingMana regenerating it whenever your characters take their turn]], guaranteeing it to deal CriticalHit against enemies with lower than 50% HP and regenerating 50% of its energy for each enemy it defeats, and [[CooldownManipulation advancing the turn of your character with the highest ATK]] and giving them a special buff (increasing their Crit DMG based on their Crit Rate and allowing them to get an ExtraTurn if their next move defeats an enemy). In Swarm Disaster, you can also unlock its Resonance Interplay buffs by collecting 3 Abundance or 3 Elation blessings: the former will have the Path Resonance heal your characters if the arrows manage to kill at least 1 enemy, the latter will increase your characters' and their summons' Speed for a few turns upon unleashing Path Resonance.

** The [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Nihility]] inflicts 4 kinds of DamageOverTime debuffs at once to all enemies with a chance. The Resonance Formation buffs give additional effects to this ability: increasing its chance of debuffing to 100%, the debuffs' duration by 1 turn, and their stacks by 1, additionally inflicts 2 stacks of Confusion[[note]]when you inflict Weakness Break on an enemy, said enemy will immediately take damage from all the DOT debuffs they currently have, times the number of stacks[[/note]] and 2 stacks of Devoid[[note]]when enemies regenerate their Toughness Gauge, Devoid will reduce the amount of the gauge regenerated, depending on the stacks[[/note]] on all enemies, and allowing it to [[RegeneratingMana regenerate its energy]] by 40% at the start of a battle, and 2% each time enemies take damage from DOT effects. In Swarm Disaster, you can also get its Resonance Interplay buffs by gathering 3 Hunt or 3 Propagation blessings: the former will let Path Resonance advance your characters' next turn depending on how many DOT debuffs are successfully applied on enemies, and the latter allows your characters to [[StatusEffectPoweredAbility trigger the DOT effect of the Path Resonance by hitting enemies with basic attacks]].

** the [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Preservation]] deals damage to all enemies based on the total amount of current shield points your characters have. Its Resonance Formation buffs add extra effects to this ability: guaranteeing the ability to deal CriticalHit and increasing its Crit DMG for every shielded characters in the team, granting your characters a small shield and a buff that [[LastChanceHitPoint prevents your shield from breaking if the enemies' attack is going to break it]] (1 use per activation), and allowing it to [[RegeneratingMana regenerate its energy by 40% when entering battle, and 2% each time your characters gain a shield]]. In Swarm Disaster, you can get Resonance Interplay buffs for this ability by getting 3 Nihility or 3 Remembrance blessings: the former will let Path Resonance inflict Bleed status onto all enemies, while the latter will let said attack [[StatusEffectPoweredAbility deal higher damage onto]] [[IceBreaker Frozen enemies]] before removing said status.

* HealingHands: In Simulated Universe, the [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Abundance]] heals all of your party and grants them increased maximum HP for a duration. Its Resonance Formation buffs give extra effects to this ability: allowing it to also [[AntiDebuff cleanse debuffs and give a stackable buff that blocks 1 debuff attempt on your characters and then heal them]], preventing your characters from receiving lethal damage and then automatically casting the ability (1 use per battle), and adding itself into the turn queue to give periodic healing, with reduced healing potency. In Swarm Disaster, you can gain its Resonance Interplay buffs by gathering 3 Nihility or 3 Propagation blessings respectively: the former lets Path Resonance buff your characters' [[AntiArmor Weakness Break efficiency]] and Break Effect, while the latter lets Path Resonance buff all damage output of all characters and recover 1 Skill Point if at least 1 of your characters gets overhealed by Path Resonance.

** The [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Elation]] is a series of attacks of random damage types (counts as follow-up attacks by the game) to all enemies 3-5 times. Its Resonance Formation buffs give extra effects to this ability: allowing it to [[RegeneratingMana regenerate its energy]] when entering battle and whenever characters perform follow-up attacks, doubling its maximum energy capacity, making it consume more than 100% of its energy and deal more instances of damage [[SituationalDamageAttack depending on how much extra energy is consumed]], and inflicting a debuff on all enemies that [[DamageIncreasingDebuff increases their damage taken against follow-up attacks]]. In Swarm Disaster, you can also get its Resonance Interplay buffs by collecting 3 Abundance or 3 Remembrance blessings: the former allows the Path Resonance to randomly [[AntiDebuff cleanse your debuffs on hit]], while the latter allows it to freeze enemies if the attack happens to deal ice damage.

* StatusInflictionAttack: In Simulated Universe, the [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Remembrance]] is an attack that deals damage to all enemies with a high chance of freezing them. Its Resonance Formation buffs grant extra effects to this ability: gaining a chance to reduce the enemies' resistance to freezing, additionally inflicting a debuff that doubles the duration of other debuffs, and [[RegeneratingMana regenerating its energy]] when you enter battle and whenever an enemy becomes frozen. In Swarm Disaster, you can also get its Resonance Interplay buffs by gathering 3 Hunt or 3 Destruction blessings: when the freezing effect of Path Resonance expires or is resisted, the former will inflict Slow debuff on all enemies, while the latter will inflict [[DamageIncreasingDebuff penalty to all damage resistances of enemies]], which grows in number for each percentage of your characters' HP loss.

* StatusBuff: In Simulated Universe, the [[LimitBreak Path Resonance: Propagation]] is unique in how it works: Choose 1 ally to [[CooldownManipulation advance their turn immediately]], regenerate 2 Skill Points, and grant them the unique "Metamorphosis" buff for 1 turn. The buffed character's attack can [[ArmorPiercingAttack ignore 10% of their primary target's all-type resistances]] for every Skill Point they consume or recover, which can stack up to 2 times. Its Resonance Formation buffs give additional effects to this: extending the Metamorphosis buff by 1 turn and [[RegeneratingMana regenerating 20% of its energy]] if the buffed character defeats an enemy, doubling the energy limits and regenerating its energy whenever characters consume or recover Skill Points, and [[QuadDamage buffing the chosen ally's damage output by 40%]] and changing how "Spores" work (see MarkedToDie above). In Swarm Disaster, you can also get its Resonance Interplay buff by gathering 3 Destruction or Preservation blessings: the former makes Path Resonance grant the chosen ally a SingleUseShield that nullifies all damage once (except DamageOverTime effects) and recover 1 more Skill Points if their HP is below 50%, and the latter makes it grant the chosen ally a shield equal to 60% of their HP, lasting for 3 turns.

* ReligionIsMagic: Their Paths act as a source of power, giving Trailblazers and Emanators their abilities and making various forms of {{Magitek}} possible.

* 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 Trailblazers. 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.

* TouchedByVorlons: Trailblazers are people who have received power by following the Paths. If they manage to earn enough of an Aeon's interest for the Aeon to glance at them, whether out of approval or pity, they receive a blessing.

* ManyFacedDivinity: Is shown to have 3 faces in the style of verdic deities.

* MultipleHeadCase: Is shown to have at least three heads with different expressions.

Their affiliated factions include the Denizens of Abundance and the Elixir Seekers. The former are various species and civilizations who have been blessed by the Aeon but abuse their god-given gifts to spread violence and war across the cosmos, 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.

* 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.

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 to being among the many "blessed" by the Aeon, so the Alliance and their patron god Lan the Hunt have sworn to destroy Yaoshi and their followers.\\\

Their affiliated factions are Antimatter Legion and Annihilation Gang. The former of which Nanook blesses directly to spread destruction across the worlds, while the Aeon looks upon the latter with disdain at best for their "impure" reasons of annihilation.

Lan is the patron god of the Xianzhou Alliance, who share their goal of destroying Yaoshi the Abundance and their followers wherever they find them. The other affiliated faction is Galaxy Rangers, who believe in Lan's way of using violence against violence and vows to hunt down injustice and evil all across the galaxy.

[[caption-width-right:1000:Wisdomwalker]]

The affiliated factions are 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.

As befits the theme of harmony and unity, they have only 1 affiliated faction, called simply "The Family" whose members come from various worlds.

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, determined that there is meaning to existence. There's also another faction called Device IX, but whether it actually exists at all beyond mere rumors and speculations is deemed a mystery.

Their affiliated factions are 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.

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. Yaoshi is loathed by the Xianzhou Alliance due to them granting the Alliance's people a form of longevity that causes them to eventually turn into monsters, so the Alliance has joined hands with Lan the Hunt 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 Xianzhou called Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, who wishes to continue their civilization's old way of worshipping Yaoshi against the wishes of the rest of Xianzhou.

Their affiliated factions are the Masked Fools and Mourning Actors. The former believes that the ultimate meaning of all things lies in laughter, and thus spends their time mocking others for their flaws and causing chaos for their own amusement, while the latter seeks 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.

The Aeon of Beauty, believed by the universe to have died long ago, leaving their Path without a master.

* 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.

* MultipleHeadCase: Is shown to have at least three heads.

->''Then, they say, O you who have reached the end, enter into the paradise that envelops all! Join this great choir and feast, listen to the beating of billions upon billions of hearts, holding you in their embrace..."''

* ArtificialIntelligence: Nous is a supercomputer dedicated to gaining knowledge, who has ascended to Aeon-hood.

* WasOnceAMan: There are many Xianzhou legends that claim Lan was once a legendary Xianzhou hero who [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended to Aeonhood]] during the Alliance's greatest hour of need. However, these legends aren't taken seriously since historians are certain Lan's existence pre-dates the Xianzhou Alliance.

* MythologyGag: The Finality is said to be an Aeon involved in prophecy and said to "move backwards in time". In sister game ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', the Herrscher of Finality is prophesized to be the last and most powerful Herrscher, responsible for [[spoiler: wiping out humanity and resetting the 50,000-year cycle]].
