Now onto the million dollar question, Desmond is Honkai Star Rail

Full disclosure, as an HSR player, I:

1) … have named the MC ‘Desmond’ XD

2) … am absolutely bias towards the Stellaron Hunters (like, they’re the only characters I plan to ever pull for their signature lightcones hahahaha)

Because of those two points, I actually had a small idea of the Trailblazer being named Desmond.

The idea came to me while I was playing the Loufu storyline (the main one with Dan Heng, not the Wardance one later on) with Kafka’s companion quest.

In that quest, Kafka lets the MC ask 2 questions, Kafka must answer 1 truthfully and the other she must lie about.

So my idea is that Desmond asks Kafka “Who am I?” and Kafka would tell him

“You are a clone of Desmond Miles. Elio created your body using what remains of Sample 17 but modified your body so you could host a Stellaron. Before the time comes that you must take the Stellaron at Herta Space Station as you are destined to, I was responsible with protecting you, as well as teaching you general knowledge, common sense and combat skills. You don’t remember who I am because of the Stellaron inside you.”

And Desmond’s second question was

“Am I the real Desmond Miles?”

Kafka answers with a smile, “No.”

And now comes the two possible scenarios.

The Trailblazer Desmond is the real Desmond Miles:

Kafka’s first answer is the truth with sprinkles of lies added for it to be considered as the ‘lie’ of the two answers. His body was not made using Sample 17, that’s long been destroyed. Desmond’s body isn’t a clone, it was created using the genetic memory of a descendant of Desmond Miles from his son Elijah.

That descendant?

The mysterious leader of the Stellaron Hunter going by the name of Elio.

The Trailblazer Desmond isn’t the real Desmond:

So this one is an idea of mind that started to pop out around the end of Penacony.

I ship Firefly and the Trailblazer but I don’t really see Desmond as a romantic partner for Firefly so this idea is that the Trailblazer is a clone of Desmond Miles created using what remains of Sample 17 by Elio. Elio himself is a ‘codename’ and the black cat that appears at times is an actual cat that Elio can connect with.

Elio’s real name is Desmond Miles and his moniker as ‘Destiny’s Slave’ is actually an insult to remind him how his death had been predetermined just like everything about his life as Desmond Miles. He’s actually using a half-biological half-mechanical body that houses his ‘consciousness’ as both Desmond Miles and as the Reader.

The Stellaron Hunters are the current iteration of the Brotherhood, more focused on recovering Stellarons because Desmond wants to change the past and the Stellarons have the energy needed to do that.

His predictions are made using his connection to the Calculations and he treats the Stellaron Hunters more like his children (except Kafka who is more like a sister to him, Blade though… he absolutely sees Blade as his emo oldest son)

The reason why he created the Trailblazer is because the Stellaron in Herta’s Space Station is the core needed for him to complete his desire for a device that can change the past. But to complete the device, he needed the Stellaron to develop a desire to protect living beings thus…

He had what pretty much is his child be part of the Astral Express so they could experience what the infinite cosmos could offer.

(Imma be honest, if Desmond was an actual character, I know it makes sense that he would follow the Hunt path but we already have Moze being the One target Assassin so I kinda like the idea that Desmond follows the path of Destruction and, as a reference to his connection with the Trailblazer, his normal attack is single target but his skill is a blast attack. His ultimate would be him whistling and ghost Assassins would air assassinate every enemy in the field, similar to Altaïr’s summoning of ghost Assassins in AC Revelations. His element would most probably be Imaginary but that puts him in competition with DHIL so maybe something like Quantum or Physical instead?)

One thing I've come to appreciate about going into a story after having sought out or seen spoilers is that to me, it doesn't ruin my experience of the story - it changes it. That doesn't apply to all spoilers, but I've been thinking about Penacony's biggest spoiler (really, the one that so many people saw, it wasn't even treated as a spoiler anymore long before it actually dropped. Which was shitty, but a different topic).

For some, knowing Firefly and Sam were the same person before the reveal might have soured their enjoyment of the story. But since HSR's quests aren't replayable, I ended up really appreciating knowing their identity in advance, because otherwise I don't think I could have noticed some things - like Firefly's occasional little slip-ups into her more professional side, or the one that marked me most was how in both Sam's conversation with Acheron and few words with the Trailblazer pre-reveal, you can hear Firefly in Sam's tone of voice in a way you couldn't before. It really gave me a new kind of appreciation for those scenes.

(I still wish the main quests could be viewed again, though.)

Finally, after about 3 grousome hours of praying to rngesus, I have beaten Aventurine and fully cleared MoC for the first time :D

Here's my lineup if anyone's wondering

You just chill out through the first half against Kafka and then pray that Aventurine doesn't kill your Ruan Mei or FF when she's low, because you were trying to get her Ult up :)

[kitty-meowskers]

oh my god.... oh my god..... his trailerrrrrr

[echollama]

Oh god have you seen Sam in the HSR Jeppela Rebellion trailer? Out of everyone I must know your opinions on this man, this machine?

Yea I did!!!!!

He looks very polite, very breedable!

If only I were more free to draw him properly 😔😔 working through a crunch period atm, so please enjoy these shitty doodles for now 🥰

Times like these, I kind of regret not getting FeiXiao the first time. The same goes for a few other characters I skipped first time around. I'm staring at you Aventurine/Acheron---
