Here are all characters available in Honkai Star Rail:
Himeko
Himeko is a female character in Honkai Star Rail, who is an adventurous scientist. When she was a child, she encountered the Astral Express. When the incident happened, some existence in the Express revealed to her a whole new world outside of her own. After a few years, Himeko repaired the Astral Express and embarked on a journey to the stars but she realized that she will need more companions.
Welt
Welt is a male Honkai Star Rail character, who is wise and sophisticated ex Anti-Entropy Sovereign, who inherits the name of the world, Welt. He is the one who has saved Earth from annihilation many times. Once the calamity came to an end, the heavy burden ordained by fate to Welt had been removed for a time and then he became an animation storyboard artist.
Once the conspiracy with St. Fountain concluded, Welt had no option but to go with the initiator of the incident to the other side of the space portal.
Danheng
Danheng is a cool man who wields a spear called Cloud Piercer. During the Trailblaze journey, he will work as a guard. The reason why he is given the responsibility of this long journey is he has a habit of observing everything that happens during the journey. Unlike other characters, he does not like talking about his past and that could be the reason why he decided to be a part of a companion of the Express.
March 7th
March 7th is obsessed with her Camera because she always carries it wherever she goes. She was found in a piece of drifting eternal ice and free by none other than the crew of the Astral Express. When she got up, she could not remember a thing about her past, including her name, and then she decided to name herself after the date of Salvation. That’s why her name is March 7th.
Gepard
Gepard is one of the most important characters in Honkai Star Rail. The reason why he was recruited into the Astral Express crew he was noble captain of the Silvermane Guards. He served at a place called Belobog, where the defense was more challenging than attack. During his guardship, the city lived in peace and continued to do their daily routine without any trouble.
Seele
Seele is one of the most beautiful yet strong characters in Honkai Star Rail. Unlike other girls, she does not like to rely on others for her protection. Having grown up in the perilous Underworld of Belobog, she can endure all sorts of adversity.
Clara
Clara is a homeless and shy girl, whose only wish is to have a family. Since she does not have a home or family, she had no option left but to join the crew of Astral Express.
Asta
Asta is one of the most talented characters in Honkai Star Rail (HSR). Being a lead researcher of Space Station, Asta has a lot of knowledge regarding Astronomy.
