Character Details

An elegant and handsome blond young man who carries a giant coffin on his back.
As an intergalactic merchant, he was unfortunately caught in the Xianzhou Luofu's Stellaron crisis.
And that is how he found his mastery of medicine to come in handy.

"What's your occupation?"
"Traveling merchant."
"What is the purpose of your entry?"
"Commercial business."
"Do you vow not to violate the laws and regulations of the Xianzhou Alliance, to conduct business activities in accordance with the law, and not to conduct activities outside the scope of the visa permit?"
"Of course. I will follow the law."
"Do you vow not to conduct any illegal research related to immortality?"
"I... promise."
"Great, please sign here."

"Mr. Luocha, welcome to the Xianzhou Luofu."

"Hey, do you still remember that guy? Came here often, carries a huge box..."
"You mean Luocha?"
"Yeah, Luocha... He's an Outworlder, right? But from the way he works and speaks, he feels like those older Xianzhou natives. Has he lived here for long? But then again, he had kept his unique and exotic fashion style..."
"Who knows? Maybe it's because his blond hair doesn't match the clothing of Xianzhou."

He would sometimes think of home.
The devils, the church, the insanity... None of those are good memories.
People would clamber to high places in groups just so they could witness their city's demise.
If everything were to end, then there shall be at least one witness.

"Why do you still wear the clothes of your home world?" Someone asked.
"It reminds me of the path I must keep treading. That is all," Luocha answered.

Character Story: Part III

• Unlocked at Character Level 60

The people of Xianzhou do not recognize coffins.
Each time Luocha emerged on the streets with the coffin, curious gaze followed.
If someone were to ask him, "What exactly is this?"
Luocha will answer, vaguely, "This is the tool of my trade."

"Tool of my trade... I hope I didn't offend you," Luocha stood in a pavillion in the Exalting Sanctum, murmuring to himself, "But then again, our relationship does count as a business relationship, doesn't it?"

The coffin responded with silence.

Character Story: Part IV

• Unlocked at Character Level 80

Luocha carried the coffin on his back and headed into the distance.
The coffin made no sound. It did not protest and had no right to protest.
"When you keep silent, you are free."

The curtains closed, and he left the guilt behind.
Guilt is just another weapon to be controlled, a lie one tells themselves to believe they will one day obtain a correct answer.
"What's so different about you? Is your pain more valuable and more moving than other people's?"

"Go to the Xianzhou," the one who gave him the coffin said, "Don't forget your promise."
"Never."

Luocha promised, but silently made another vow.

Character Voice-Overs

Character	Voice-Overs
Hanya	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Why does someone carry a coffin around? Is it to remind yourself of constantly being chased by death? This is similar to the judges of the Ten-Lords Commission — we enter the land of the dead to bring the dignity of life to the Xianzhou people.
Jing Yuan	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ I have seen many merchants in my life, but don't you think there aren't many like him, who are in no hurry to do business?
Jingliu	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ He is just like me... There is a hole in his heart. No matter what he does to fill it, the hole remains. The harder he tries, the more exhausted he becomes.
Qingque	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Who? That sounds like an outsider... We've got a lot of outsiders. You'll come across them a lot in The Looking Bronze. He's probably here to seek success in "Seeking Immortality" for himself... Yes, I did say "seek" twice.
Sushang	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ That outsider looks weak, but is pretty brave. If he weren't on the Xianzhou and hadn't met me, he'd totally get robbed just for lugging such a huge case around. Added to Team With Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Just focus on healing, and if you get into trouble, give me a shout!
Tingyun	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ A businessman from beyond the sky? And he's not on the Whistling Flames' records... Weird, why can't I remember him?
Xueyi	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ As an outsider capable of mending my mechanical body, he's far from typical...
Yanqing	About Luocha  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ At first, I thought he always fights using that sword casket. That thing looks really strange... I need to figure out a way to fight him and get him to use his skills for real...

Trivia

• Luocha's design is based on Otto Apocalypse, one of the main antagonists of Honkai Impact 3rd. Both characters share the same long blond hair and green eyes. He is specifically based on Otto during his journey to Shenzhou during the Seven Swords visual novel, during which his outfit had a similar color scheme, he carried a coffin, and he also met Li Sushang, who shares the same name with Sushang.
  • During Companion Mission A Knight Stranger, Welt, who is originally from Honkai Impact 3rd, immediately recognizes Luocha's visual similarity to Otto and Void Archives, causing him to be suspicious of him.^[2]
  • Luocha also mentions in one of his visitor dialogues on the Astral Express that "people are shocked at the sight of him" due to his appearance.^[3]
