List of Honkai: Star Rail characters

Honkai: Star Rail is a 2023 role-playing video game developed by HoYoverse. Set in a vast science-fantasy universe, it follows the story of the Trailblazer, a player-named protagonist who boards the interstellar train known as the Astral Express to explore distant worlds across the cosmos. Accompanied by companions such as Dan Heng, March 7th, and Himeko, the Trailblazer visits various civilizations, becoming involved in resolving crises caused by mysterious entities known as Stellarons.

Many characters encountered throughout the journey are aligned with Paths, universal concepts that embody distinct philosophies and powers. Each Path is associated with an Aeon, a higher-dimensional deity that governs a particular aspect of existence, such as Destruction, Preservation, or the Hunt. Certain individuals, called Pathstriders, closely align with a specific Path according to their personal will or belief. Others ascend to become Emanators, beings capable of drawing divine power directly from an Aeon. Emanators are often regarded as the enforcers of their Aeon’s will, possessing strength far beyond that of mortals, though not all choose to act in service of their patron deity.
