@riris-dock u asked for this,,,

so um!! my plans for my s/i is like a ,, reincarnation trope. anything is possible in honkai.

i have some vague ideas of it , (utc, this is long)

an important detail: the common thing on my honkai s/i through each incarnation would be grey eyes. why? idk its the most noticeable thing i can think of when i think about my appearance lol

moth's first incarnation was more than 50,000 years ago, in the previous era. they were a member of the MOTHs and was close with some of the flame chasers. they would experience each day like their last, and in a time of the previous area, had always thought each day was their last. prior to joining the MOTHs, they were a writer and poet.

moth was closest with kevin, mobius, SAKURA, kosma, griseo, and pardo. kevin, mobi, SAKURA, and kosma were romantic interests. griseo was like their kid, pardo was a queerplatonic relationship. did they get with any of their romantic interests? yes. i say yes.

they worked as a scientist and knew of MEI's ELF plan. as such, they had decided to create their own. basically just meant to be another them with the same memories that was also planned to be updated when they died. it was built to assist the flame chasers and basically everyone else. the ELF is still active now and is looked after by kevin.

the actual incarnation had died during a battle against honkai. while also a scientist, they worked out in the field as well to collect data. but this had been a case of "at the right place at the wrong time" and had died on a solo mission looking for data. MEI had updated their ELF counterpart to know of the cause of death.

the ELF in game would be an ice support.

this incarnation would a top stigmata. showing moth facing into a mirror with the mirror being cracked, each segment formed from the crack would show pieces of kevin, mobius, SAKURA, kosma, and pardo. their expression is unreadable. scattered around them would be pieces of paper and a few open books.

their first reincarnation i have come up with lived around 500 years ago. this version of moth (which i will call andrew because idk just to make it make sense i guess) lived around the same area as kallen and otto. they don't have their memories of 50,000 years ago but still had the same eye color. this one is an artist that makes a living at the edge of the village.

when kallen had first gone on the run, they had come with her to assist her. through their travels they had grown close to one another. though andrew did catch feelings, being on the run would be a bad time to actually say you had any feelings for your friend. so, they had continued, and had met yae sakura

andrew was filled with grief as kallen had sealed sakura and the herrscher of corruption, even more so as they watched kallen be taken away. their cause of death here would be described as "died from a broken heart" as andrew would spend much of their time mourning over the loss of both of their closest friends. wanting to be more, but again, at the right place yet the wrong time. but would there ever be a right time?

this incarnation would be the middle piece. they'd be sitting on their knees holding a small necklace with a cross pendant. tears would stain their cheeks to represent the mourning of kallen. sakura petals would be fluttering down to the ground, but the ones on the ground would be dead and crushed up.

next reincarnation, and the current one, works at anti-entropy. once again a scientist but also had a job as a writer and an artist hobbyist. closest with lieserl albert einstein, and would even end up marrying her in the future during the games events.

slowly in this incarnation, they'd start to rediscover who they were from the past. meeting their ELF-self, finding files of their past at yae village and before, and all their other previous reincarnations.

i actually don't have many plans for this version hsdhfs i'm trying to keep this more lore-oriented. but if anyone wants me to, i can also post one that focuses more on their relationship. also need to write down how they'd be cursed with reincarnation, somehow.

this would be the bottom piece. they'd be sitting in a chair, their computer screen having multiple windows opened for multiple things. in their hands would be a sketchbook that had drawings and also poems written on it. several pages would be scattered across their desk and on the floor, many of them showing small doodles of their past self.

that's all i really have for lore-wise.
