#HSR Cyrene

[ka2ki2]

Chrysos Heirs

people who play both hi3 and hsr are WINNING rn

anyway. i've determined likely flamechaser parallels for a majority of the chrysos heirs. most of them do not actually look like their flamechaser counterparts, which makes me think they're not direct expies but merely parallels.

I also sprinkled some minor analysis of what little lore we have on these guys. Amphoreus is massively inspired by greek mythology.

watch this before reading!

Aglaea = Eden (both associated with gold)

Eden owned the Elysian Realm previously, but at that time it was called the Golden Courtyard

Eden is also called the Bearer of the Gold Signet

Aglaea is called the Goldweaver

You're not going to believe this-- Aglaea is named after the Charis called Aglaea.

The mythological Aglaea basically runs errands for Aphrodite, which would explain why HSR Aglaea bears the Coreflame of Romance.

HSR Aglaea is from the city of Okhema. In greek thought (plato I think?), Okhema is an intermediary between the body and the soul. I did as much research as I could and the best I could figure out is "it carries the soul through rebirth". SORRY IF THAT'S WRONG-

HSR Aglaea has the "divine authority of mnestia". After lots of research, I think mnestia can be loosely translated to Remembrance, so perhaps that's the Amphorean way of saying she's a pathstrider of Remembrance?

Aglaea's drip marketing references the myth of Prometheus, where Prometheus stole fire from the gods and returned/gave it to humanity.

Tribbie = Vill-V (multiple 'selves')

Tribbie is called the "three-faced messenger"

We see Tribbie adopt multiple personas in the video. She can even take multiple forms at once

Vill-V has partitioned her personality into 8 different segments

Anaxa = Su (both associated with knowledge/enlightenment)

Anaxa is said to have "enough knowledge to refute faith, and to stir up a torrent capable of slaying gods."

Su is called the Enlightened of Bodhi, Enlightened One, and other similar titles.

These two have lots of physical similarity

Anaxa's namesake has some interesting connections with Nous actually

Hyacine = Griseo (both Asleep)

In the video, when Hyacine is on-screen it says "let the sky become the slumbering cot from which she wakes".

Due to the 8th Honkai Eruption, Griseo fell into a deep sleep.

Could be named after Hyacinthus

Mydei = Kalpas (fire in battle)

In the video, Mydei is seen in a post-battle poise surrounded by fire.

Kalpas is constantly surrounded by fire during battle.

Both characters constantly seek out fighting/strife.

Mydei is likely related to the greek god Deimos

One of the unnamed people has a mask too though, but these guys are too similar in aesthetic and personality

Cipher = Pardofelis (...come on.)

Cat girls.

Same eye and hair color

Castorice = Aponia? (butterfly theming)

Castorice is pictured with butterflies both in the video and in the twitter art. These butterflies look highly similar to the butterfly motif in Aponia's design

Aponia is very strongly associated with butterflies. Her dress is patterned like one and she has butterfly wings in her ult

Both seem to have devastating levels of power

IDK about the greek origins for this one. Castor? Kratos (who is actually a child of the Styx)?

Phainon = Kevin (deliverance)

Yeah they're both related to deliverance. They literally outright said deliverance in the video, and Kevin bears the Deliverance Signet.

Also they look EXACTLY THE SAME

Also both seem to be the 'leader'

In mythology, Phainon is the star of Cronus/Saturn (cuz they thought saturn was a star)

Cyrene = Elysia (...COME ON.)

They look identical and have almost the exact same personality

i have yet to figure out the two unnamed ones, Hysilens, and Cerydra. nor can i find their name origins... the closest i found, after ages of digging, is this for Hysilens

the remaining flame-chasers are Kosma, Sakura, Fu Hua, and Mobius. only one of the unknown people seems to be male ("unknown 2"), so that one's probably Kosma.

And yeah that's the culmination of me losing my mind for the past 6 hours. lucky you, you didn't have to watch me try and fail to decipher what the 12 titans might be connected to. (greek titans, 12 olympians, and HSR aeons all didn't line up easily waaaaaa)

here's the failed attempt to figure out the aeons if anyone else gets ideas from this

OK thanks for reading. normally I post my loredumps in discord servers with my friends. this is my first time posting it anywhere abfiushdliueh

Amphoreus! I do not call your name suddenly or without cause. I come here to recount history — The black tide of the end fell upon the land, gods descended into madness, and mortals turned their weapons on each other. Yet still, there were heroes who chased the flames, leading the way in the grand undertaking of creation. In this world, they fused burning golden ichor into their bodies. Will destiny remember their names in days to come? Aglaea, Tribbie, Anaxa, Hyacine, Mydei, Cipher, Castorice, Phainon, Hysilens, █████████, █████, Cerydra.... Memories slumbering at dusk, please do not forget Amphoreus' name.

[angelixues]

You think so too, right? ♪

[kxslana]

sunday this herta that ELYSIA IS BACK

[scrion7]

YUP.

The 13 Flamechasers have returned.

Also, if you check the description:

Aglaea "Goldweaver" — Morgan Lauré

Herta — PJ Mattson

The Girl Named "Cyrene" — Aiden Dawn

Long live Cyrene. (she better fukgnin live long or else)

(also also if you check out her Greek Mythology namesake she's known for WRESTLING AND KILLING a lion with her bare hands. Our wife is a badass.)

(Mythological Cyrene is also known for loving Apollo...who happens to be a golden god of fate. Anyway Cyrene x Aglaea is gonna be a thing I forsee)

[sleepykaslana]

I will always find a way to ship you two

[lunaefall]

Mine is Anaxa!

Reblog appreciated for sample size.

[olliepoley]

I can’t wait, OMG I’m saving so much. E5 L5 I WILL GET HER

[cinnamelle]

did you miss me? ♪

[deltaapollo]

OH MY GOD SO YOURE TELLING ME THEY SHARE THE SAME ENGLISH VA?!?!?!!

[deci-doodles]

A collection of doodles featuring Kyrena absolutely losing it coz I only found out recently that I’d been misspelling her name

And then HSR gave us a character named Cyrene LMAO

[sfznyxio]

THE DRIP MARKET OF THESE TWO GAMES IS CRAZY. brand new places at the same time: rinascita (wuwa) and amphoreus (hsr). I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT HSR AND I DON’T THINK I’LL SHUT UP ABOUT THEM EVER.

fav designs of rinascita so far are hands down phoebe and brant. phoebe gives off nation leader vibes like jinhsi and brant is definitely a pirate. knowing kuro, their 3d models are gonna be sick. ik they’re gonna make brant extra bbg like xiangli yao and i won’t be mad.

OK SO TELLING ME THAT THE CHRYSOS HEIRS ARE VARIANTS OF THE 13FC??? GLORY TO THE FUCKING 13 WE ARE SO BACK??? YALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM??? they showed us 8 and 4 aren’t revealed yet as well as the ely variant at the end whose name is cyrene.

aglaea - eden

anaxa - su

hyacine - yae rin, sakura’s sister

mydei - kalpas (?) / kosma (?)

tribbie - senadina (not 13fc)

cipher - pardofelis

castorice - aponia (?)

phainon - kevin

cyrene - elysia

missing - vill-v, mobius, griseo, hua

last 2/4 unrevealed look like kalpas and griseo to me

maybe mydei could be kosma but kalpas-ified? idk.

marshal hua exists, but another one could happen.

we have 2 bronyas there so anything’s possible.

oh, another one of the heirs looks like phoenix hua.

[edit] going back to this, how could i forget my girl senti. since bronya and silver wolf exist in the same universe, it makes sense that there can be two huas, senti variant and marshal hua.

aglaea - eden

anaxa - su

hyacine - yae rin

mydei - kalpas

tribbie - senadina/vill-v (5 minis)

cipher - pardofelis

castorice - mobius (purple)

phainon - kevin kaslana

cyrene - elysia

4 unknown - aponia, senti, kosma, griseo

SO BROKE FOR NEXT YEAR BYE—

[anominous-user]

i hope you guys know that in 5.1-5.2 and 5.6-6.0 hi3 released the flame-chasers in a row (elysia, mobius; pardofelis, aponia and eden, griseo, vill-v, herrschely) and i can guarantee you that they're doing the exact same thing here in hsr with the chrysos heirs. especially considerjng they might actually make the twelve of them playable this time around (+cyrene) and not exclude the dudes.

[phoenix-is-the-hottest-thing]

Cyrene is Ely B. Sia

Ahh?? Then I hope they meet in HSR!

[lokiliddell]

i wasnt planning on watching the 2.7 livestream but i knew they were gonna drop the teaser for the next planet, amphoreus. i was already looking to going back to hsr because ive seen rumors that amphoreus was going to be greek myth inspired. i did not actually expect they would bring back the 13 flame chasers. they used too many specific keywords for it not to be the flame chasers, “deliverance” during phainons section (kevin expy) and “the path of the flame chase” during the end section of the teaser. seeing cyrene i was hit by visions of the past. it was like seeing my dead wife alive.

elysia. *it is elysia*. cyrene is 100% an elysia expy. listening to cyrenes jp voice confirmed it for me. i recognize that voice anywhere. its marina inoue.

it is so over for me.

[sleepykaslana]

Will you E6 Cyrene?

Probably! Current hsr goals is E0 Phainon and his LC then pure savings for Cyrene after that. If I don’t E6 her on the first banner I will on the rerun for sure…it just depends on what is happening in hi3 since that’s my main gacha game…and I’m saving up to travel to the US for a con next June/July so I want to be reasonable with spending just for now
