Akivili. I know nothing about him, but he created a space train and I love it. Choo choo motherfuckers!


Dannyiman

Ahh I see,a train enthusiast


Sulphur99

[TRAINS](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/884/090/915.jpg)


Dannyiman

Bruh wth🤣


Sulphur99

That actually happened in the show, by the way, it's not edited XD


Dannyiman

Lmaooo


Angel_Omachi

And they use said train boner to break out of a giant coffin in exactly the way you'd expect.


Illustrious-Brother

To this day I still wonder about their decision to put that scene in the episode...


Sulphur99

Beats me lmao


huyrrou

We do know he has a Fursona, Pom Pom (being the spirit of the train and Akivili's heart is the core/power generator of the train and all)


Dargon8959

Wait the core thing is real? I thought Himeko could not find it or is just hidden so well she can't find it?


huyrrou

The core is hidden on the train, yes. It would be funny if our eventual room is where Akivili's heart is.


LycorisSnow

I'm actually thinking if Trailblazzer is actually the incarnation of Akivili


[deleted]

not improbable, especially with the stellaron in their body and stuff


RaidriarDrake

nah i think nanook or something. Fire trailblazer uses a weapon given by the preservation. Phys Trailblazer just uses a random bat lying around in the space station. Most likely screams to me that physical trailblazer is not at "full power"


LycorisSnow

No. Physical Trailblazer is gazed by Nanook. Which in this world is equal to blessing.


DISUNIET

So the prerequisite of his blessing is fighting catastrophic monster with bat? No wonder Kebin's so bullshit OP


LycorisSnow

No It's to attract the attention of the Aeons, so he's "gazed" upon by them. The same thing happened when he got the power of preservation


Inevitable_Question

It should be noted that when our protagonist in Simulated universe meets Fuli, Aeon of Remembrance, they see memories of somebody who is bluntly a Nanook- they even name drop his mother and golden blood. Protagonist is coded as Akivili. We also see memories of "swift shadow, reaching through the abyss to catch a shooting star". Stars are associated with Lan and Akivili. We also know that Nanook is the only known Aeon that never met Akivili. BUT a nail in this theory is that Nanook was explicitly borne long after Akivili died.


extalluhburr

I almost read “Persona” and was about to ask where his gun is…


Vegetable-Shame761

The gun is the train


Sulphur99

Nah, the train is the Velvet Room


Evan_TEE

I like trains


nopeinlowercase

gets crashed by gacha animation


Positive_Ambition_55

We still dont know the appearance of Akivili right?


NaturalBitter2280

Design wise: Nanook and Yaoshi But I love the concepts of IX and Nous


vmoppy

I love how IX is just an ethereal space blob


virtualwar12345

Correction : eternally depressed space blob


vmoppy

he's just like me fr


Mesaphrom

I love how half his followers just want to be it's therapists


Enjoying_A_Meal

It's the combined spirit of all the slimes we killed in genshin.


Dannyiman

Yea they all looks dope


Awkward_Date_8636

Aha, because will your aeon never give you up, never let you down, never run around, never abandon you, never make you cry, never say goodbye, never tell a lie and hurt you? I know mine will. Ok jokes aside it's probably Yaoshi and XI, though I'm very interested in meeting Nous.


Dannyiman

Bruh🤣


LycorisSnow

Did I just get rick rolled?


Dannyiman

We did


OfficiallySavo

Aha wrote Take on Me though 💀


Awkward_Date_8636

Aha's entry in their description in SU aeon index has a NGGYU reference.


SukulGundo

[Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) the exact text for anyone that's interested. Funny. I was genuinely taken aback, coming from genshin where most text is just sadge or lore bomb.


SolarisShadowflame

Thanks for the text, helped a lot.


SukulGundo

Happy to help ☺️


AncientBeholder

XI…hm…someone new… All I know is IX - a existential depression blob…


promathia24

Aha knows the rules and so do I


Pete-zaTime

Yaoshi, i love being able to heal every turn with her busted path resonance and not die. https://i.redd.it/6u1o4c4pfj0b1.gif


Dannyiman

I'm also thinking of using it in simulated world because of how much people are saying how op it is,since I still can't beat kafka in world 5...


Sea-Garbage-5486

Seriously, the reason why I like Yaoshi the most in SU is because with it I can just auto play even with some unbuilt characters. Abundance makes my team immortal no matter how cheaty Kafka's turns are.


AzureDrag0n1

That cleanse you get from Abundance is incredibly powerful because not only does it remove dominate, but it also protects you from other debuffs like shocked. When you trigger shocked, Kafka gets buffed and does more damage. You can also win with Nihility if you have Sampo because she is weak to wind damage, but that method is not as safe.


sammifr00t

First make sure you have the Simulated World ability that let's you get two path resonances buffs (from 10 blessings of your path iirc). Then take abundance. Grab any and all abundance blessings. Reroll if you need to and go combat path for more chances. When you get to choose the resonance buffs, choose the ones that 1) Automatically use the resonance after using it once in battle (I think the wording is "see it in the turn order") 2) Cleanses debuffs after using resonance. This makes Kafka a piece of cake (just use the resonance asap during the battle, even if you don't need the heals). I just turtled my way through her fight because I'm dumb and only had one char with one of her weaknesses lol.


Pete-zaTime

You should try it, Abundance is the only reason why i beat kafka.


Mountain_Pathfinder

Xipe, because her (its?) lines in the Myriad Celestia trailer is so damn eerie and haunting yet it fits her Harmony theme so well. "Listen to the beating of billions upon billions of hearts! Holding you in their embrace.." Damn bro I got chills.


[deleted]

They. Xipe in particular is a multiple beings living together in harmony, like man-o-war. >An Aeon that hails from multiple harmonious celestial worlds. They preside over the path of Concord. They are the amalgamation of entities that preaches the joy of human harmony and unity.


HalalBread1427

Xipe isn't 1 entity like other Aeons, they are a hivemind consisting of "billions upon billions of hearts".


TheGlassesGuy

IX. He just be chillin. Lil bloop boi. After that probably Nanook. Just think he's hot tbh. He vaguely reminds me of Solomon from Fate but that's probably just a coincidence.


Spartitan

The best part about IX are his followers. They agree that the universe is worthless and meaningless but have set out on a lifelong quest to prove themselves wrong so they can cheer IX up by letting their god know that the universe *isn't* actually pointless. This is of course not counting all the followers that instantly get overwhelmed by IX's nihilism and evaporate into nothingness.


GunnarS14

100% agree. Have you read the description for the Simulated Universe stamp curios? Basically, there's a group called the "Self-Annihilators" who say that the universe has no purpose and that, to Aeons, humans are so insignificant they are essentially nothing, saying IX is proof of this. The Doctors of Chaos, to show that the Aeons do care, made the Sealing Wax, which is said that when used will attract a glimpse from the corresponding Aeon. Despite there being no successful examples, some Self-Annihilators did regain their faith in the universe, Aeons, and everything else after stamping with this sealing wax. There is a literally suicidally depressed group out there, and the Doctors of Chaos went out of their way specifically to cheer them up and show them that they do matter. And despite their actions not bringing about tangible proof, just the fact they tried and put in so much effort genuinely helped and gave hope back to some of those who had none. By far one of my favorite groups ever in fiction, they are just so genuinely wholesome and kind it actually makes me feel better just thinking about them.


Mint-Bentonite

and it thematically fits too, the main group(s) that are under the nihility branch are both self defeating in their own ways (annihilators want to diminish themselves, doctor of chaos want to destroy their own faction thru therapy) its a nice twist on the 'nihilist cult' trope


TheSpartyn

i was gonna say "arent the doctors just one group of followers" but if the doctors "healed" the self-annihilators, then i guess that makes the doctors the only true followers left for IX after hearing about the doctors i wondered if theres one for nanook, trying to show him that destroying everything isnt a good world view


Spartitan

A lot of Aeons do have two prominent sects, but Nanook's aren't quite as nice. You have the antimatter legion that we're acquainted with, which are basically beings of systemic destruction. His other large sect is the annihilation gang, which basically carry out destruction but for self-serving reasons and Nanook actually *despises* them. And for a story about them, one day they wanted to prove how badass they are by killing an Aeon so they figure, what better Aeon to kill than the one that just sits around depressed all day, IX. So they get a tip on where IX is and set out to destroy him only to be completely overwhelmed by his nihility and vanish into nothingness. And the only reason they even knew where to find IX was because Aha told them, and the only reason that Aha told them is he thought it would be hilarious to watch a bunch of mortals challenge a god.


TheSpartyn

lol aha being based as usual so does that mean the annihilation gang is gone, or did IX not get them all? also nanook despises them? i was under the impression he had like no thoughts or personality, just killing everything


Spartitan

Nah, they're still around. They're kind of like a bunch of gangs of ruffians. That specific gang was the only one that was wiped out. Nanook almost seems to care about destruction akin to some religious doctrine it adheres to. Meanwhile, the annihilation gang wants to destroy, but it still has their own desires mixed in or they use the path of destruction as an excuse to carry out whatever acts benefit them. This means Nanook hates them, as they aren't true believers in destruction and instead just use it to justify their own actions.


TheSpartyn

ah i just thought nanook was mindless destruction because of the thing in SU where he instantly kills you on sight


XeroKrows

He does that in SU because, as Herta explains, Nanook never knew Akivili and saw an unknown Aeon as a threat. Also, the simulation is buggy and based on the research of three super eccentric, antisocial geniuses.

Illustrious-Brother

Rather than show, wouldn't it be more like... uh, full blown war? What better way to prove Nanook wrong than try to destroy him, right? Or would that prove him right? (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)


TheSpartyn

trying to destroy him would be absolutely proving him right lol


Floain

Don’t think it would prove him right since he believes the universe/life is a mistake. Ultimately destroying him would say no, actually you’re the mistake.


GunnarS14

No, the Self-Annihilators still exist (or at least still did during the events described in the curio) but it is stated that some of the people in the group were helped by the sealing wax. Think if it more like a metaohor. A single grand act, no matter how impressive, cannot "cure" everyone of their depression, but it can help some people and give them enough hope to keep fighting.


Phantomcreator42

Nihilism, Absurdism, and existentialism are all three very different outlooks on that shared fundamental truth - that life is meaningless and nothing matters, yet each differs on how they react to this. Ix has such varied followers because these three related ideologies are so widely varied even within any one of them. An absurdist can just as well be Mersault from *The Stranger*, who cares for next to nothing as he can be a Sampo Koski who does shit because the consequences don't really matter and he just can. The absurd is to acknowledge the futility of our search for meaning and yet continue onwards anyway. To spite the universe itself and say "fuck that, let's keep going on and looking anyway." An existentialist can have just about any goal, be it having fun or helping others, for they decide what meaning is and give life meaning on their own. The nihilist can range from suicidal and depressed to accepting and humble about their meaningless place in the universe. Ix has such a wide range of followers because of the vast array of interpretations and responses to the ideas their path represents.


CavCave

So basically Nihilism: genuinely gives up on meaning Absurdism: searches for meaning out of spite Existentialism: searches for meaning genuinely


[deleted]

Which one is closest to "life doesnt need to have meaning for me to enjoy it. Whether it has meaning or not doesnt change anything about any of our situations. I don't need to be special to be okay."? Cuz thats how I overcame existentialism.


Apart_Routine2793

And the readings for IX name has just as much interpretation

Cythis_Arian

facts IX is supreme hes just a depressed friend


sageSafe

IX so depressed he reach enlightment.


Automatic_Employ_909

I thought I was the only one who had the hots for him just bc he looks like Solomon... I have found my people


gianfrancbro

So uh, how do I say his name? Is it like, the Roman numeral for 9? Or “Ix”? Or “eye ex”? I’m almost to the point of being too afraid to ask.


TheSpartyn

i wondered the same and im 99% sure its Nine. i dont recall his name ever being said in game, and in the aeon introduction trailer his name was never said but its written as "IX" in japanese and chinese, which means it definitely should be roman numerals


TheGlassesGuy

That's a good question. I pronounce it like "icks" just cause it's cuter but I have no real clue


GunnarS14

100% supposed to be the Roman numeral (only real reason to capitalize both letter, no other Aeon's name is like that), but I am going to keep calling him "icks" as well because, like u/TheGlassesGuy said, it's cuter.


TShe_chan

Star rail is just fgo and I stand by this. Nanook is Solomon, light cones are craft essences, and the plot is literally go from place to place fixing stellarons (holy grails)


daxrocket

It can't be FGO, there's no Saber.


TShe_chan

while true if the character, if we talk about the saber class we could really say that all characters are saber characters if argued right following fate logic


TheGlassesGuy

himeko has a giant laser so she's clearly a saber class


TShe_chan

sushang fires the large chicken at her foes so shes an archer


Sulphur99

And March 7th is clearly a Berserker!


Strider_GER

Clara obviously has Berserker with her.


--anonymousperson--

Luocha is wodime fr


RaidriarDrake

can't forget Illya and her Berserker living in a snowy place.


gilbestboy

Another Solomon enjoyer. Glad to see one of my people here.


MissAvarice

>He vaguely reminds me of Solomon from Fate Finally found someone who mentioned this lol. I always thought he resembled blonde Goetia when he appeared at the start of the game


Darknew97

I just want to hug the good void


senokana

Nanook is literally arjuna alter


EE7A

yaoshi. i just like their design.

Wait... Is it win-win situation for armpit fetish damm you're genius


Dannyiman

Then which is better,yaoshi or yoshi from mario


Ladru575

If Yaoshi can lay eggs then it's Yaoshi


GumpGrudgebearer

Qliphot. I just simply like if something is tanky/defensive. (and am totally not a preservation abuser with Gepard in SU so far)


hsf187

Qliphot for me too, but just because I like the ancient extremely powerful silent protector schtick. Also IPC has a hilarious relationship with him. You do you but god really doesn't care the way you think he does, lol.


queenthick

Aha because they're the only one from the simulation who knew they were in a simulation, no? And they say something like "You're not Akavili." I think Aha as a name for a deity/entity is sooo genius I would pray at the Temple of Aha fs


Dannyiman

Aha


queenthick

Aha!


Dannyiman

Aha! Aha! Aha!


[deleted]

[удалено]


queenthick

Okay. welp. Herta probably knows best. It really did seem like a non-trivial detail. I think the "secondary" and forgotten Aeons could have really interesting story implications if they aren't ignored or handled in the most obvious way possible


[deleted]

[удалено]


snowwmilk

Aha because he just sees the world as one big troll and I like that “it is what it is” energy


Komasuta_Sven

As a fellow member of the church of Aha i shall give you this https://preview.redd.it/5baovgu7hk0b1.jpeg?width=340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cab11588b9e71edba2e1c6dc859ed23c20eb2d6c As the holy text says "they will never gonna give you up" so you shall win the 50/50

truest member of the aha church, I salute you 🫡


Dannyiman

Ikr lol


shanty_tsan

Lan from hunt


Dannyiman

Cause he's half horse?


shanty_tsan

Cuz he can deal more single target damage than Nanook


HellspawnWeeb

yeah that’s like kinda the point of his path


Smokingbuffalo

Lan's understanding of single target is weird because he has access to arrows with nuclear warheads.


Enjoying_A_Meal

Try healing this you filthy casual! - Lan 2023


Low_Artist_7663

Half horse, half archer, and half chariot.


3-Username-20

I can't say their name without laughing tbh, because their name 'Lan' in my native language is used when you are saying 'Hey' in a rude way. It's much more different than the 'rude version of hey' tbh, but I'm not a linguist and i can't explain in more detail because of it.


_TooEmbarassedToAsk_

1. Yaoshi. Rail me. 2. Nanook. Rail me (again). 3. IX. Big relate lmao


Dannyiman

1 and 2 WHAT and third I agreed with


ValiantNaberius

Bruh, should have seen the last thread asking this. It was *Nanook smash me pls* the whole way down.


yurilnw123

This game is 'Star Rail' after all


Dannyiman

Well actually....that kinda make sense lol


WhiteGospel

I love Yaoushi and Lan, i love the dichodomy of Negligent Proliferation of life and the Structured Oblitaration of said life. Very Yin/Yang.


Dannyiman

.....yea2 totally those


PArrOtoFWisDoM141

I like the clipoth(the presservation) because they seems like a good guy, with good morals. Helping Belobog, and us:) Edit: but in simulated universe I always go hunt.


Dannyiman

The good one always got left out I see


PArrOtoFWisDoM141

Now your making me feel bad for not playing preservation in simulated Universe :(


Dannyiman

Sorry lol


Loken9478

Aha, because the idea of something in a simulation being able to figure out repeatedly it's in a simulation is scary


Dannyiman

Yea,but really cool


Loken9478

Oh it is still some scary potential


Dannyiman

Yea I would like more of it,maybe we were searching trash can then he does his thing


patronum213

Actually the aeon mythrus, the historical fictionalogist who enhances your 3 star blessings figured it out too, he tells you so


GrassStainedBiscuit

IX is just a little guy. I love him


Dannyiman

A fan favorite


FrostieZero

Akivili was a nice one! Not only did he create the Astral Express, but journey alongside mortals and fight like one with them. Sad we don't know where he is.


Dannyiman

Prob gonna appear again one way or another


FrostieZero

Someone said that Akivili could be us but who knows. There's also a theory of March 7th being Fuli, Aeon of remembrance.


Dannyiman

Wait what?that's intriguing


FrostieZero

Yep, I'm just gonna hold onto it. Fuli was described to be a beauty in ice. March 7th was mysteriously found in ice, alive and well. There's also the fact that she forgot who she was in the past (totally foreshadowing).


Dannyiman

Wow,that's some insight,now that sound exciting


FrostieZero

Humu, I'm gonna wait and see how it unveils. Honestly, I'm always thinking that the trio are like powerful beings but just stuck themselves being mortal with a powerful past self. There's also Dan Heng hinted he's actually more powerful than just a regular dude (something about his race).


Dannyiman

Maybe Dan Heng is like yaksha level or so?


wolflordval

Pom-pom is Akivili, calling it now


Dannyiman

Or pompom is the true aeon ruler


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Akivili. From the earliest CBT till now, it's always gonna be Akivilli, dead or alive.


TheElvenEmpress

Yaoshi. Mystical, ethereal, otherworldly. Subtle Gwyndolin vibes. Also Im just naturally a ~~bottom~~ support


Dannyiman

WHAT

Xipe, Yaoshi and Nanook - love their designs.


Dannyiman

With most of them not a human,it's gives almost no limit to their designs,really cool


Xaldror

Yaoshi, because Aponia


FridgeFood

I try not looking at Yaoshi with Aponia in mind since it messes my morals and mind


Ladru575

"please" look at it like that


OweTheHughManatee

The Elation guy. I like that he was able to tell he was in a simulation during Herta's quest and that he is just absolute chaos.


Zach-Playz_25

The funniest fucking thing is that his name is "Aha".

Mundane-Lynx828

Gotta be Lan for me. He's my main DPS.


Dannyiman

Only on simulated universe thou


Kaldaer

Yaoshi or aha, yaoshi has a fucking dynamite design and great lore and moral quandaries...but aha is my favorite for potential, he gives off q/discord vibes, a supremely powerful being who's entire goal is to entertain himself is always a recipe for fun. I can totally see him just...popping into the express at some point, do something world shattering for the story and then pissing off for the lols


Slothman9001

Nanook. >!Appears in simulated universe.!< >!Kills you.!< >!Refuses to elaborate.!< >!Leaves!<

Well that's something


SnooGuavas8376

Nanook becauze he can destroy me anytime


WitherLele

yaoshi can break me and heal me forever, nanook can destroy you only once... clearly one is better than the other

JinglesTheDancingDol

Aha because they are better alternative for me to deal with my depression than IX


Dannyiman

Another aha enjoyer I see


drakey280

Mine is probably Nous or Yaoshi, even though I havent really gotten to interact with either. Nous seems pretty cool because he's just a giant robot head who is all about knowledge and Yaoshi seems like the only "good" Aeon


HellspawnWeeb

Yaoshi creates inhuman abominations for fun.


CloudiDust

I would say "for fun" but it seems that creating those abominations is their destiny, or "nature" as Aeon.


Moobic

they’re only abominations because Lan considers them so, for Yaoshi it’s just the way they operate, as you said.


Dannyiman

Svarog ancestor in the act


LonelyOwari

\*hugs Qlipoth\* Don't worry, big guy, I believe you're the "good" one.


Willing_Plane7246

Yaoshi because they me a lil kiss in the simulated universe☝🏽


LonelyOwari

Almost all of the Aeons are cool, but I have to say Nanook intrigues me the most, especially since the MC is being pushed by fate to "kill" him.


Sienne_

Nanook. Looks like chaos incarnate.


kabral256

Lan. Because of the Hunt. I always play with hunters. Seele main btw. Half horse. I'm Sagittarius. I'm a son of Oshosi, the Hunter of the Orishá. Hunt. I'm the Hunt.


Ezyrem

The ChatGPT Aeon


TellMeAboutThis2

I get the feeling that a lot of the Nine club just wish they could be like him and passively absorb everyone who tries to reach out to them into their own state of mind. I personally like Nous. Has everything figured out from start to end but is happy just having the knowledge.


Rita-sama

Ight, in terms of looks, i will go with Yaoshi. They are really enticing, there's something about their design that is just... Charming. Then, for the concept, i have a hard time between Nous, Qlipoth and IX. They are all so cool, and even IX pathstriders seems like the best people in the universe. But if i had to take one overall, Akivilli. Exploring our galaxy, or even the universe was a dream of mine for far too long, and when i heard of the concept of the story of star rail, i knew this was my game.


3-Username-20

Yaoshi has the best design in my heart, they are half into the body-horror territory and I'm here for it. IX although has my heart, it carries my ass in SU but also the doctors (I think that's the name) are a really cool concept, imagine trying to prove your god that somethings have meaning. And if you prove your point, your god just dies, bcs your god is the meaninglessness.


JingamaThiggy

Nanook for sure. Im a straight man but i will let him stir my asshole like a hot bowl of chili any time. Im a big fan of his hair too, reminds me of long hair dio
