Ladies, gentlemen and everyone in between, allow me to present you Void Archives talking with the only human he actually respects. Never in my life I both regretted and was happy 'bout picking up a game.

BONUS: the shit that comes out of VA's mouth is appalling— who taught the cube that smh

So whomst is Void Archives?

This is how Void Archives (VA) actually looks. And before you ask, yes, it is a semi-transparent golden cube. It's the 1st Divine Key - a piece of Previous Era technology, made using the Herrscher of Reason Core. It can recreate anything, as long as it understands the concept. In doing so, it can mimic the other Divine Keys as well. However, these mimicries are much weaker. Void Archives is an artificial intelligence and was intended to contain knowledge and information from the Previous Era from 50 000 years ago.

This is the "Library", a place that hosts the knowledge and where each book is a separate archive of information from the Previous Era. It can only be accessed via medium, as it's a virtual reality space, or if VA willingly invites someone's consciousness in. Which is another of its abilities - to allow someone to transfer their mind to another body or vessel.

This is also Void Archives during APHO (post-hi3) chapters in the game and Alien Space manga, after it stole appropriated Otto's Soulium avatar body, when the latter died. It customized the hairstyle and outfit. Aside from wearing a glove on the right hand, it also covered the face with a mask. But these modifications were temporary (reasons: spoiler, explained in manga).

Then we have these fake ass blond dudes

Otto Apokalpse, the bishop of Schicksal in Houkai Gakuen 2 (or Guns Girl Z). And from where it all begun.

Otto Apocalypse, the evil Overseer of Schicksal in Honkai Impact 3.

Otto Apocalypse from visual novel Seven Swords, who is called "Raksha" by the locals. Also carries a coffin. Also befriended Sushang.

Otto Apocalypse in Honkai Star Rail, admits using the name "Luocha" (AKA "Raksha") only within Xianzhou Luofu.

Back to our problematic cube

In APHO chapters, Welt easily recognized that the person in front of him was not Otto, even if VA attempted to pretend to be him.

And this is where real Void Archives with its opinion towards Otto comes out. Its' voice is loud and is saturated with unadulterated resentment.

In Alien Space manga, which is the preface to Star Rail, Void Archives and Welt travel to another universe, where they currently reside.

You also can see Void Archives in Welt's splash art as well— And it does look like a parting theme.

Void Archives mentions in HSR during CBTs:

Which brings another mention of VA within HSR:

Where to? I will make Headcanon post 'bout what the danger cube is up to later and until hoyo will provide us with leaks or info what VA is doing, that would remain the canon to my blog.

Later in Star Rail companion quest, Welt has flashbacks from when VA abducts takes him on a new adventure (insert spoilers of APHO and Alien Space manga here), and also along with a voice line recognizes that Luocha is actually Otto, not Void Archives.

Void Archives may be in possession of a soulium avatar, crafted in the image of Otto, but ultimately they are not the same people. Void Archives exists since Previous Era for 50 000 years, and Otto (in HI3 universe) managed to hit 500 years thanks to VA powers and knowledge. Nor Void Archives is Luocha. If you see a man who looks like he never used a brush in his entire life - that is Void Archives. Luocha is Otto Apocalypse. And it was also directly pointed by Jing Yuan as well, who said that his real name is a mouthful.
