Xipe, titled the Great One by THEIR followers, is an Aeon in Honkai: Star Rail representing the Path of Harmony.
Description
To battle the brutality of the laws of the universe, intelligent lifeforms must discard their cowardly selfishness and the differences between individuals, fusing into one singular melody — to have the strong help the weak, and to protect life with death.
Profile
Xipe is the amalgamation of thousands of entities that preaches the joy of human harmony and unity hailing from multiple harmonious celestial worlds.[4] THEY absorbed Ena the Order when the former ascended into an Aeon due to THEIR colliding Paths nearing the end of the Swarm Disaster.[5][6]
History
Ascension
In 13XX AE, Tayzzyronth and The Swarm began their spread across the universe, marking the beginning of the Swarm Disaster.[7] It was during this time that Xipe absorbed the Aeon of Order, Ena.[8] Xipe would later assist Akivili, Aha, HooH, and Qlipoth in sealing Tayzzyronth.[9]
The Family
Xipe and THEIR chosen ones formed a harmonious "Family" composed of members from various civilizations and worlds. They are the closest family there is and believe there should never be contradictions or noisy disputes. Only with eternal love and smiles will the universe become a harmonious whole. The Family frequently calls out to other worlds with their song, encouraging them to embrace Harmony. The Family will celebrate each new world that accepts the blessing of Xipe, and work even harder at praising the Aeon's kindness. The Family has never known any world that grew weary of the singing and voluntarily abandoned the Path of Harmony.[10]
Penacony Chapter
Penacony is a chapter of The Family, its previous spokesperson being Sunday.[10] Penacony, Land of the Dreams, is an intergalactic hotel, wherein the real Penacony is entered through one of the hotel's Dreampools. The Penacony of the Dreamscape is crafted through the combined efforts of Family members, Dreamchasers, and guests.[11]
As Sunday later revealed his true loyalty to the Order and put into action his plan of trapping everyone in a perfect dream, he was confronted by the Trailblazer, Himeko, March 7th, and Firefly.[12] When the Trailblazer received Falcon Amundsen's hat from the Watchmaker, the group was gazed at by Xipe,[13] however it was unclear to the group why Xipe had chosen to look at them.[14] Much later, the Intellitron Stefano commented that he could sense the Harmony inside the Trailblazer.[15]
Abilities
Harmonic Strings
The Harmonic Strings are the multiple embodiments of Xipe. They are the down-to-earth virtues that enable Harmony. Some argue that the Harmonic Strings are nothing short of Emanators of Xipe, however they do not follow any specific mortal but are facets of Xipe that can assume any member of The Family when necessary. The names of the embodiments of Xipe are Aelenev the commander of the Eternal Centurion, Dominicus the wisher of the Harmonious Choir, Constantina the singer of the Panacoustic Theater, and Beatriz the merrymaker of the Blissfull Ball. Few have seen these manifestations outside The Family.[16]
Stellarons
Stellarons are mysterious objects that are vague, imperceptible matter which disrupt the flow of Imaginary Energy along the interstellar routes created by Trailblaze that are spread across the universe by Xipe the Harmony, as THEIR "Harmonic Cancer."[17][18] They are considered seeds of disaster which cause massive changes to civilizations and ecosystems, and result in the appearance of Fragmentum.[19] They respond to the desires of the world to which it is tethered. However, the cost of fulfilling those desires often brings great disaster to the world. There is no known way to destroy a Stellaron; currently, the most that can be done is contain its energy.[20]
Simulated Universe
When Xipe appears in the Simulated Universe, the following sound will play:
Dev Log 1
...Xipe the Harmony. Oh, the mother of all stars! THEY proclaimed harmonious hymns of celebration, and united all wills as one. The Family's songs spread to all corners of the world, and THEIR degree of understanding, support, and synergy for the will of all creatures was beyond imagination. Or perhaps, THEY were already on a plane beyond mortal minds. The ever-expanding Harmony was truly worthy of human longing. The universe encircles and decorates THEIR body like crushed diamonds, and civilization became a rainbow to be snatched in THEIR palm. I am filled with curiosity about how THEY swallowed up Order. The hymns of Xipe continue to spread and grow, occasionally overseen by ideology. In contrast, Ena's harmonic songs seems to align within a three-dimensional framework, akin to an emperor maintaining hierarchical order among all creatures. While there may be some overlap between THEIR Paths, the ancient Order is enormous in size, and swallowing THEM would prove far from effortless... Among the Aeons, there exist countless enigmas that surpass my own speculations.
