IC Information
Canon: Honkai Star Rail
Character: Argenti
Canon point: Honkai Star Rail as of Patch 1.6, Pre- 2.0/Penacony
Canon intensity: Honkai Star Rail is a T-rated RPG, it deals frequently with the possibility of injury and death, and there is frequent violence. Includes many cases of characters facing persecution for their racial/circumstantial backgrounds. Gore and Sexual Assault, however, are not things shown/discussed so far in the game.
World information: The universe of Honkai Star Rail is a blend of genre’s, but predominantly Sci-fi and Fantasy, ranging from characters with cyborg bodies, to people who still fight traditionally with swords and shields, and many of these aspects thrown together in the same pot. Space travel and exploration, along with trade and political or otherwise specified inter-planet relationships, are frequently addressed/mentioned within the story. Traveling through the stars, running into supernatural/straight up magical phenomena, meeting people they’ve never seen before or experienced the world view of before- these things are a normal Tuesday for many of the characters inhabiting this world.
Character biofacts: Human Male, age 24.
About the character: Argenti is a devout Knight of Beauty, a group of individuals dedicated to following the path of beauty, as lain out by the Goddess Idrila in some time long past. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in the same way, the Knights all follow their own interpretations when it comes to Idrila’s ideals. Argenti himself is from the Honorclad, and follows a more traditional sense of romantic beauty, seeing the wonder and goodness and well, beauty, in everything set before him. There are very few things he would consider to be truly hideous, that judgment is reserved for that which only has a desire to harm, destroy, or kill.
Despite his outwardly optimistic and uplifting demeanor, Argenti hides a troubled past. The hometown he grew up in was consumed by war and bloodshed, he grew up witnessing untold horrors that no mother or father would deem a child to see. During that time his single solace was found in the crass songs he could perform for himself on an ocarina, but regardless of how poorly he played, it was not the quality, but rather the act that brought him peace and joy.
Some years later he left that town, ending up in the care and tuliage of someone he simply refers to as his master. It was this man who set him on his way to discovering the path of Beauty and the ways of the Goddess Idrila, the most peerless Beauty of all. It was this master that imparted to him the standards and convictions of beauty that Argenti follows to this very day.
In time however, his master passed, and Argenti found himself alone. It was during this time he decided that he would not despair in his loneliness, but instead fully commit to becoming a Knight of Beauty like the ones his master had told tale of.
During his travels and trials, he shared brief companionship with another knight of beauty, and the two of them considered each other to be friends, this companion encouraged Argenti upon his path, his light of beauty forever carving a spot of beautiful memory in Argenti’s heart.
During his travels, in his efforts to uphold the path of Beauty, he faced many obstacles and fought many foes. Its the duty of a knight to uphold honor, nobility, and justice within the universe, and for these qualities, Argenti would take up his arms. It is the duty of a Knight of Beauty to never retreat from a fight, even if it might be your last. His blood would paint the stones around him with his conviction to upholding these words.
Among the many battles he faced, there was one where he found himself nearing unconsciousness from all the blood he had lost. In the fraction of the moment that he had before passing out, he heard a voice. THEIR voice. The Goddess Idrila touched his heart from somewhere out in the universe and he undeniably believed it was THEIR presence that he encountered.
As the years passed rumor spread that Idrila had passed, and the Knights of Beauty fell into disarray, yet despite this, many still follow THEIR path, refusing to believe that THEY have passed from the world, and that instead in some time, THEY will return to grace the universe with THEIR beauty once again.
Argenti himself is one of those who holds stoutly to the believe that Idrila carries on, continuing to proclaim “Idrila, the Beauty, is the most peerless beauty of them all!” regardless of if others consider him foolish for it. For surely, he heard THEIR voice. And since that chance moment, he’s heard it time and time again whenever he approaches the gates of death… so he must live on. Fight on. To keep attempting to find the key to THEIR whereabouts in the universe… even if it is a lonely road… even if it kills him.
During his travels, he once again encountered that knight who’d been his friend many seasons ago. But instead of being greeted by a smile and a friendly face, he was greeted by a monstrosity. The Knight had the honor of taking down a great beast once, a deed he was praised for far and wide, but before Argenti now he stood, merged with the very vile visage he had once toiled and bled to bring down by his own hand. In the pursuit of power, he’d lost himself to this darkness and despair. Argenti’s hands quaked upon facing him, for maybe the first time, truly feeling that he did not want to fight, that he wished nothing more than to retreat and turn away from the nightmarish visage before him, to pretend it never happened and that one day he would once again smile at his friend’s beauty as they stood in arms together.
… They say a great behemoth wanders the universe, a spear lodged into its hide.
Nowadays, Argenti wanders the stars, relentless in his pursuit of Idrila, and the path of Beauty. He is a lonely soul, eager to form bonds and make friends, but quick to leave again in his pursuit of THEM. The stars aligned so that he ended up encountering the Astral Express, and aiding them as they fought off remains of The Swarm. He took it upon himself to vanquish the Great Sting that had been keeping them trapped in endless illusions, despite the protests of the crew, and upon doing so successfully, vanished again into the stars, although not without letting them know of his safety.
Upon this strange vessel, his goal has not changed, for where ever he is, and whatever he might find himself encountering, he will tread the path of beauty, with neither pain, nor hardship, nor even death, standing as an obstacle in his path.
Abilities: Argenti is very physically capable, he’s arduously trained himself as part of his devotion to beauty. He wields his polearm and wears a full suit of armor with practiced ease. He has the ability to summon thorned rose vines from any surface contact point he pleases, these vines are not themselves literal plants, but a manifestation of the power her derives from his path of Beauty, he controls and directs them, but he cannot use them to control or direct other plants, nor can he control or direct any vines but his own. He can also create roses in the same manner with the same rules. He has the ability to cast an emblem of light for a brief period of time to daze his enemies, he has not attempted to use this ability for extended durations to create light.
Noteworthy items: He carries a red, gold, and silver polearm (spear); a blue handkerchief embroidered with gold; and a talisman representing his devotion to beauty.
Mixed gender room ok?: Yes.
Player content notes/squicks: Not interested in Romance. I have no interest or desire to see/partake in Sexual content. Anything related to Sexual Assault please warn me about very clearly.
