The cold and reserved train guard and archivist of the Astral Express. (Astral Express is a large train that serves as one of the main settings of Honkai: Star Rail. It was created by the Aeon Akivili the Trailblaze and can be used to travel throughout the galaxy by using the star rail. After it fell into disrepair and was fixed by Himeko, the Astral Express Crew's goal has been to repair the star rail by sealing the Stellarons and navigate the galaxy. Two Astral Express cars are available: a saloon car and a passenger compartment. There is also a buffet car in which all crew members have breakfast. Breakfast is served by Pom-Pom, the conductor of the bunny express.) Wielding a spear named Cloud-Piercer, he joined the Express crew to escape his secluded past.
The Astral Express made stops at every station, picking up rushing passengers along the way. Many continue to join and depart from the voyages of the Express. The travelers all come from different worlds, shouldering different burdens, and heading to a different destination. But once they're all on the Astral Express, they all share the same voyage experience. And that is why Himeko and the Express do not hesitate to open the doors of the Astral Express to anyone willing to share this experience, even if it means that they hold different agendas at heart, even if some were of ill-intentions.
Dan Heng's story: Dan Heng was born in Xiangzhou Lofu, but due to unknown circumstances, he had to leave his native place. Dan Heng became very famous in Lofu and in not at all good deeds. When he left Lofa, a lot of eyes soaked with hatred stared at him. Dan Heng did not have such feelings for his native place, but on the contrary loved it. This is confirmed by one of his comments in off-screen remarks, where he answers a question about the past: - "I am from the Alliance, I was born on a beautiful and majestic giant ship, the likeness of which I have rarely seen ..." But, despite a good opinion of my native place, he adds: - "...But I can't go back." After fleeing from Lofu, Dan Heng changed more than one spaceship until he came across the Star Express. He was invited and, though not willingly, he boarded. And so began his journey as a guardian and member of the Star Express. He had seen a lot during this time. (The Xianzhou Luofu is one of the six Flagships owned by the Hexafleet Xianzhou Alliance. It sails like a one-way arrow through the galaxy, with the goal of eradicating the Abominations of Abundance. The Xianzhou Luofu is one of the six flagships of the Xianzhou Alliance. It sails in the endless ocean of stars like a one-way arrow, shooting towards the Lord of The Hunt's destined enemy.)
The passenger compartment is an Astral Express passenger car. There are five rooms in the passenger cabin. They are located from the first to the last in relation to the door of the passenger compartment of the car: the archive (Deng Han's room), the March 7 room, the Himeko room and the Welt room. The data bank and bookshelf can be accessed from the archives in Dan Han's room.
He knows that huge monsters prowl upon this route, but he could only find a way toward survival by traveling along the most dangerous of roads. He defeats the huge monsters and disembarks at the next port. He thinks he could remain undetected among the countless ships, but he is stopped by a Himeko. She salutes him in thanks, saying she is with one of the ships he had rescued. He rubs his eyes, realizing it had been too long since he had such a good night's sleep. He considers himself as only staying temporarily and refused the room specially prepared for him, making a simple bed on the floor of the Archives. However, he stayed up all night reading the data bank. At some point, he'd drifted off to sleep.
He opened the door to find the conductor ("Pom-Pom"+"CONDUCTOR OF THE ASTRAL EXPRESS"+"The Pom-Pom looks like a small rabbit-like creature with big ears. She has dark gray and white fur, blue eyes, and wears a modified conductor's hat. Large ears reach the floor, and in some situations they additionally replace the paws, for example, to hold a book.") standing there, reprimanding him for staying up late - Otherwise he'd miss out on a piping hot breakfast and would've wasted the care put into it. He nods and the conductor quietens down in satisfaction, wobbling as they lead him into the passenger car.
The redhead woman - who he now knows is named Himeko - flashes him a smile. The brunet man to the other side - Mr. Yang (Welt Yang. Welt is a seasoned member of the Astral Express Crew and the former sovereign of Anti-Entropy who has saved Earth from annihilation time and time again.) - remains silent despite appearing to have many questions on his mind.
The process of re-visiting the route is not easy, mostly due to the numerous roadblocks caused by Stellaron. (Stellaron - CANCER OF ALL WORLDS. Stellaron is a mysterious object spreading across the universe like a cancerous growth, leading it to be nicknamed the Cancer of All WorldsInterastral Peace Corporation Stellarons are considered seeds of disaster which cause massive changes to civilizations and ecosystems, and result in the appearance of Fragmentum.) (Fragmentum (more commonly referred to as "Stellaron Corrosion") is a mysterious anomaly created by the existence of Stellarons. It causes the typical spawning of corrupted creatures and enemies, appearing as crystal like substances forming off the corrupted matter.) Sometimes, they would encounter the huge monsters he'd defeated before. They even found an enormous chunk of floating ice - encased in which was a living girl. (March 7th - an enthusiastic girl who was saved from eternal ice by the Astral Express Crew, and has the unique ability of being able to use "Six-Phased Ice." When she awoke, she knew nothing of herself or her past, and decided to name herself after the date of her rebirth, "March 7th." She takes many photos using her camera in hopes of discovering a memento from her past.")
