since this is relevant to my character's backstory: are we allowed to create our own planets/areas within planets, or do all our characters have to be from the canon ones?
the galaxy is large and vast! member-made species and planets are totally allowed with the notice of "choosing to create a planet / species means opening that planet / species up for others to utilize if they would like as well", since it's effectively adding them to our lore. further, staff will have to review them before approving their existence for the sake of consistency with the lore.

sneak peak of SKIN WHEN!!!

also question: will honkai star rail fcs be allowed? i wanna assume no but idk really
;D just you wait, it's in our roadmap

and star rail fcs are allowed! we're not an hsr au site nor do we use its canon, a fair amount of aesthetics just take from it, so fcs are more than free game.



coming soon.

Hype train train hype

editing because I don't want to double post: Traditional, profile, or shipper app?
profile application that's mostly freeform with optional sections; there will be a provided template for shippers — as well as a board for them on site — but it's entirely optional.

oh, oh, i actually did have a question!!

will honkai star rail fcs be allowed to be used on your site or nah?? both's fine, i just figured i could ask!
more than welcome! the site isn't an hsr au site, explicitly, but the game had inspired some of our aesthetics! you're more than cool with using star rail fcs :fingerguns:

Do you have an estimate for when the beta will be open? Or is it still undetermined? 
Just going to make a mental note to check back if there is a time you have planned. If not, I'll just have to try to remember to keep checking in every now and then.
we're eyeing opening up the discord sometime this coming week or the next, along with a few more teasers! once the discord opens, we're looking at a proper beta launch sometime between late may and early june to accommodate some of our current team's schedules.

just curious!!! I'm assuming it'd have static locations despite the monorail (like planets and stations) so if so.. would one happen to have a similar aesthetic to HSR's second city? ahem ahem. trying not to be *too* obvious hspwnxpa 
correct! we have locations for the monorail and its coaches serving as the "main" boards, but also have extra boards for the main planets of the setting where people can chase dev threads for characters outside the asteria / before they've boarded the asteria. 

if you mean "aesthetic" via culture — we're taking a different approach to how hsr did planets in that we're not 100% basing any on a specific rl-culture and instead going with the idea that "these worlds have greatly advanced into heterogenous societies full of different cultures and regions within said planets" to encapsulate the scope of big planets with numerous regions. people are allowed (and encouraged!) to create characters of our canon species (+ any they might want to make, because we are allowing ppl to register their own species) while coding them to diverse cultures if they would like to. the planets were made very open for that in mind. (if it does help tho, one planet does have vibes that can easily be attributed to similar settings.)

if you mean in terms of terrain / governance / etc, there's definitely one with similar vibes to the city you're referring to! we're making sure all the planets have their own distinct aesthetics through their terrains and primary factions.

SO YEAH TL;DR "we have the basic aesthetics + outline of how planets appear but people are free to mold and fill in the details with the characters they make"

suburbs/city girl from the philippines for,,,, pretty much all of my life, frankly. if you want a solid map marker, i'd definitely recommend asking anyone who isn't me because me and directional geography don't mix at all wheeze. VERY urban are as a whole, but not the most modernist / "citylike" of all the options you'd find in the country. solid in between of "city full of malls, commute stops, and poor air quality wherever you go" and "very chill cul-de-sac homely suburb village with its own grocery store, several mini local businesses, what have you". explains a lot tbh.

been to a bunch of places around the world, all as a tourist—japan, hong kong, thailand, indonesia, the good ol' US of A, england, france, so on—but never properly "lived" in any of those places if that makes sense? i ALMOST got a chance to study in the czech republic for a term abroad in uni, but then 2020 happened, so any plans for that went out the window.

buuuuut ask me this question again in around 4-5 years or so and i guarantee you my answer will be rlly heckin' different for Reasons(TM) that can best be summated to "2020 onwards has just been a wild set of years"
