This idea was inspired by other games and possibly stories with the idea of origin and finality from what I remember and then saw some connection In Vanitas no carte
And their was also this quote I remember
“Your death is my origin”
To be honest I feel like vanitas real name will somehow be the opposite for what vanitas means because in the end him being killed by noe will not be his end but also gives him fulfillment and the noe true name will also be opposite of the meaning?
Or noe name has something to do with finality then vanitas name is origin?
I don’t know what your thoughts about it?
I’ll love to hear your headcannon/theories.
Hi! I actually happen to have a theory on Vani’s true name in drafts! It’s not properly written yet, because I wasn’t sure whether to post it or not. But your question kinda made me think about it again from a new angle. So I’ll find some illustrations, elaborate on details and post it soon. But no spoilers on that for now👀 I'll just say that this name has some cool mythological origins👀👀
Now about the connection of Vani’s real name and Noé’s true name. I agree that there must be some thematical link between them.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure about what Noé’s true name itself should be. From what I remember, so far three true names are known: Florifel ― She Who Guides Spring (Amelia), Canorus — She Who Plays Snow Crystals (Chloe), Aprix ― He Who Nestles Close to the Last Snows (JJ). All true names are Latin words (Florifel should be "Florifer" which is a Latin adjective meaning “flowery”, but FlorifeL just happened in English localization) that are somewhat relevant to the vampires’ character arcs and personalities. It’s a bit hard to choose a specific word from all the Latin adjectives… But I really like the idea that Noé’s true name could mean something like finality or grand change, especially since Vani’s real name in my theory is actually connected with the theme of origin and new beginnings!
Alternatively, Noé's true name could mean salvation (another recurring theme between these two). The name Noé already implies both "ends and beginnings" and "salvation" because of the story of the Arc of Noah.
Either way, both of them could have a set of names related to the concepts of Ends and Beginnings, but reversed. Noé and Vanitas are each others foils, they are written for each other – shared meaning of names would only reinforce it.
It would also add some inteteresting flawor to the theory (that I personally treat as a fact at this point) that Noé will become the next Vanitas/owner of at least one Book.
Overall, the connection between their true names is a solid idea. And I'll try to elaborate on that in the nearest future, when I post about Vani's name!
Acheron in a suit.. Something i designed my self though added elements of her actual outfit into it too!
how to defeather a swan
playing Penacony and this shit is so gay EVERY OTHER DIOLOGUE BRO 💅

SKETCH DUMP!
Honkai: Star Rail spoilers ahead! If you haven’t completed the Version 2.2 main story “Then Wake to Weep” and don’t want to be spoiled, avert thine gaze!
Everyone’s talking about how powerful Acheron is as the Emanator of Nihility, but are we just gonna ignore the fact that the Trailblazer is technically a triple Emanator?
The more I think about it the more I realize that if this guys had met under different circumstances, they would have gotten along super well.
PENACONY SPOILERS UP TO 2.2 + CHARACTER LORE / STORIES
All 4 of them have lost their entire family, 3 of them have lost their entire race / homeworld (Boothill, Aventurine, Acheron), 2 of them lost these things because they were victims of the IPC (Boothill and Aventurine), and 2 of them have either lost a sibling or are afraid of losing a sibling (Aventurine and Sunday).
More specifically:
As far as I know, Sunday and Robin's parents were killed somehow, and they were taken in by the Family. Then as Sunday said Robin ended up getting shot in the neck due to trying to help others, and I think he got some kind of trauma from that and his fear of losing Robin, his sister and only remaining family, was amplified, leading to his desire to protect "the weak" no matter the cost—because to him, keeping Robin's wings "clipped" and her alive would be less painful than her being gone, and him being alone forever.
Boothill, as I understand it, was taken in by 2 people who found him as a child, and grew up in the countryside of his planet. He later found and adopted a young girl and raised her as her own, until his entire planet was destroyed by the IPC, causing him to set out to get revenge.
Aventurine also lost his sister and his entire home planet due to the IPC + his planet's own problems, and has been forced to work for the IPC ever since. It also seems like he's trying to destroy it from the inside out or at least obtain his own freedom.
As for Acheron, her entire world, as well as her memories of it, were destroyed—she's almost certainly lost people that were important to her, like the other three.
Like honestly if they all sat down and traded backstories I feel like they'd get along super well, they're all victims of circumstance and that's why they experienced so much conflict during the story
