## Character Stories

**Character Details**
A woman of rich experiences, a veteran of adventures who seeks to see the interesting stories all of the galaxies could offer. Formerly a soldier of humanity, she has since crossed many worlds caught in the ebb and flow of time.

Even with all she has witnessed, the adventures offered by the rail of stars is simply far too great to let pass.

**Character Story: Part I**
* *Unlocked at Character Level 20*

It isn't really much of a necessity to construct a new identity. Each individual leaf is meant to be its own thing, and only interdimensional travelers like herself can carry information to and from the beyond. How many are there who can traverse the branches and explore those worlds as though they are distant stars?

Not many. As such, a new name wasn't needed.

But in her mind, a new chapter of a book must have its own title. The chapter about the woman caught in the fantasical story of gods and elements has long come to an end, and the set of blank pages is ready for a new beginning.

*“What is your name?”*

The stars aligned like that of a constellation. That of the Pathfinder is a relic of the past.

*“I am Viatrix, a traveler of worlds.”*

**Character Story: Part II**
* *Unlocked at Character Level 40*

Her first encounter with the Astral Express crew was… interesting, to say the least. Drifting in the cosmic sea, she was unsure if they were aware of harboring a Harbinger of the Apocalypse among their ranks. She observed the motley crew of four people—Himeko the navigator, the wise and collected Welt Yang, the quiet Dan Heng, and the ever-welcoming conductor named Pom-Pom.

When her blade clashed against the shaft of the Sovereign’s cane, he notes how long it has been since he was called such a title. Herrscher.

In a world far from their own, themselves being only shadows of the titles and duties they once held, the animosity vanished as quickly as it had formed. In the Express, they are very much the same—people with no path back home, in a journey across the vast galaxy.

**Character Story: Part III**
* *Unlocked at Character Level 60*

The bane of a human forced into a life of near immortality is the eventual decline of memory. A mind meant to live a short life can only hold so much, and her lengthy existence had pushed it near its limit. She had already abandoned many of those memories, those names, those faces that are now nothing more than faded photographs. Some by choice, many not so much.

What little she could preserve of her distant past is archived in a near-mystical repository anchored to her, well taken care of by an elf-like entity that had been keeping her company since this long journey began.

“So, like, photos but more complicated?” The inquisitive March 7th asked.

She chuckles. But yes, more or less.

“What if you encounter old friends and don’t remember them? I don’t know my past, but I would feel sad if I met someone who knows the past me but I don’t know them.”

“If it is important, I will remember it… eventually.”

**Character Story: Part IV**
* *Unlocked at Character Level 80*

Many times in the past she thought of where she wanted her long life of adventure to rest. She had seen many worlds, met many people, carved her own paths forward. And yet, there remains the desire to one day return home.

But where is home?

She would stop and think of the times when peace and respite is a luxury in their world riddled with the war against monsters and gods. She would think of the people who find joy and light amidst a life where the future is not guaranteed. That world has long been buried by the passage of time, left to be histories and legacies that will eventually be forgotten.

If she were to return “home”, she would not belong there anymore.

Perhaps that is the fate left to a wanderer like herself, journeying through the stars, feet no longer rooted to any ground.

"Ah, then you can consider the Express your home! You are one of the Nameless after all!"

The conductor's shining round eyes held not a sliver of a lie.

## Light Cones

*She looks at the mirror, and three figures look back at her—the Past she was torn away from, the Present she had learned to embrace, and the Future she has just started to explore.*
*“You’ve come so far.”*
