Throughout Honkai: Star Rail’s Cosmodessy occasion, gamers had been handled to a bit character take a look at. Over the course of the minigame you’d be requested a collection of questions, and in the long run, primarily based in your solutions, you’d be assigned a character linked to a recreation character. However the characters within the take a look at weren’t the sport’s fundamental solid of characters like March seventh or Dan Heng; quite, they had been characters from the sport’s lore. One among these characters is a sentient capybara, and I would like solutions.
Many of the personalities gamers may get are common humanoids like Himeko, the present navigator of the sport’s intergalactic locomotive, the Astral Specific. However the look of a capybara got here utterly out of left subject. The one piece of in-game artwork we get of the cute rodent reveals ithim sporting a classy scarf, beret, and an assortment of bijou. It’s a really distinguished gentleman. The sport explains that that is the “Lengthy Night time Walker” character, which signifies “a rational thinker who enjoys pondering and excels at it.” The image and the character the sport provides this capybara make for a humorous juxtaposition, with the stuffy characterization contrasting in opposition to the lovable look of a furry little rodent. Fortunately the sport doesn’t simply drop a capybara into the combination with out clarification.
First off, the capybara has a reputation. It’s Capy Baba, which I discover extremely cute. Capy Baba is a earlier Astral Specific Navigator referred to as the Three-Eyed attributable to its distinctive capability to foretell the perfect paths for the Specific to take via house. Apparently, Capy Baba appreciated to maintain to itself aboard the categorical, although it did have a “human handler” who would translate when wanted. Ultimately, Capy Baba stepped down as navigator and returned to its planet.
That’s all nicely and good, however it doesn’t truly reply my greatest lingering questions. Are there different sentient capybara on the planet of Honkai: Star Rail, and when will we get them in-game?!?! The lore doesn’t absolutely clarify Capy Baba’s capybara-ness. Is it distinctive amongst the celebs or did it come from a planet crammed with clever rodents?
Past the humor of all of it, Capy Baba does spotlight one of many locations I really feel Honkai: Star Rail may enhance. I wish to see some extra little freaks within the recreation. I like the superbly designed, conventionally enticing characters the sport continuously provides, however for a space-faring journey, I’d wish to see some extra selection. So why not make a five-star capybara character? I do know I’d waste good cash on pulling on that banner, and I really feel like I’m not the one one.
