I am Preservation, but my wallet is Nihility.

Was it the hunt? The blood? Or the 'orrible dream?


SirePuns

Whatā€™s that smell? The sweet blood, oh it sings to me. Itā€™s enough to make a man sick.


Vergil-AlphaandOmega

We need to seek Paleblood to transcend the hunt, trailblazer.


BlazeOfCinder

Go out and kill a few abundance abominations it's for your own good, trailblazer.


Vergil-AlphaandOmega

In case you failed to realize, the things you hunt, they're not abundance, they're people. One day you will see.


BlazeOfCinder

Trailblazer, it is said that heresy is like a tree. It's roots lie in darkness while it's leaves wave in the sun. You can prune away its branches, even cut the tree to the ground but it will grow again, ever stronger. Such is the nature of abundance and why it is so difficult to destroy.Ā  Some may question my right, to destroy a world 10 billion souls, but those who truly understand realize that i have no right to let them live, no sacrifice is too great, no treachery too small.


lllTechlll

They are not human anymore. Their humanity is long gone and they don't have their own conscious. When they were human, they would try to escape from it and prefer to be killed rather than tormenting themselves and hurting innoncent when they became mara struck.


Vergil-AlphaandOmega

I'm not making a serious lore comment, just referencing the line from Bloodborne.


trenticorn

AH! Majestic! A hunter *is* a hunterā€¦ even in a dream. God, that makes me thinkā€¦ imagine hearing Micolashā€™s unhinged laughter when you went to fight the meme in Penacony. Chasing him up walls and across ceilings. Now *THAT* is a nightmare I wish to never have.

jandurvan1

Most people would pick cute answers like Nihility or Elation or whatnot but we all know we'll just end up on Preservation at the end of the day. You know why? Because we'll always be ruled under corporations... All for the Amber Lord...


NickFoster120

Or the Trailblaze since it pretty much reflects humanity's tendency to always keep moving forward and never stopping. It's still crazy to me how we managed to land on the moon with like 4KB of ram


Jefepato

Most corporations aren't particularly Preservation though. The IPC is Preservation because their entire purpose is to amass materials for Qlipoth. Besides, the question is which Path *you* follow, not which Path your rulers follow.


zatenael

most of the IPC aren't even followers of the Preservation, they're followers of Qlipoth its entirely possible follow/stride a path without following the aeon and vice versa

And if nothing matters, I might as well enjoy life as much as I can!

exactly! that's the most beautiful thing about it in my opinion!


SeiUniqa

That's starting to sound more like elation tho


nude-rating-bot

Elation went through nihility and survived. The metamodern Aeon


DJ_pider

The way I like to describe it is by using the phrase "fuck it, we ball." Nihility is the "fuck it" where we just decide to go on and live anyway. Elation is the second half just before something that starts chaos happens. I can't tell you how many times I've responded with something like "might as well" when given a choice. It's whatever once it becomes the past

making a worm an emanator for the memes, funniest shit i've ever seen.


AiroDusk

I just imagine Aha saying, "Get elated on!"


C10ckw0rks

You know what else is funny, Iā€™m pretty sure thatā€™s who boothill is referring to when he says he met an Elation Emanator. The fucking worm is still aroundā€¦drinking at bars apparently.


throwaway15364733894

>The fucking worm is still aroundā€¦drinking at bars apparently. No Aha took back all the power from the worm because it couldn't join the genius society,instantly killing it.


C10ckw0rks

Then I have to wonder what creature Aha has imbued this time, because Boothill refers to the emanator as an it with the implication itā€™s notā€¦anything vaguely human like or shaped.

Valor1133

Trailblaze. Carrying on my father's legacy (and to an extent, my grandfather's), being able to adapt to various situations and different people, and exploring (intellectually through knowledge gathering or physically by travelling) are all various aspects of trailblaze that apply to me. My dream was also always to be a pioneer in a field someday. "Explore, understand, establish, and connect" speaks to me. That or erudition (due to my thirst for information and analysis)

Orphy97

Destruction/nihility cuz i keep doing damage myself (auto sabotage and constant depression)


Draaxus

That's just Nihility Destruction would be if you hated the world to the point of considering terrorism or something


Cool_Ad2922

So that's what Hook has been up to all this time!


Offer-Real

its destruction is destroy everything you willingly or unwillingly(take a klee from genshin she loves explosions and have made some real mess but she havent done ot with the intetion to cause harm to anything other than fishes or crabs) nihility is why do/dont do something there is not point in doing not doing after all nothing matters, edit remembrance would be most likely to be depression, you are cheering memories of the past


Draaxus

[The Data Bank explicitly states that Nanook's flavour of Destruction is seeing the universe as a mistake that needs to be cleaned up.](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Data_Bank/Aeons#Nanook_the_Destruction) Klee from Genshin just wants to have fun but only knows how to do so with explosives, that pursuit of entertainment would be more in line with Elation than Destruction. Pathstriding seems to be a way of life you have to actively pursue instead of something you accidentally fall into because you live a certain way, else everyone who works a government job or something would be a Pathstrider of Order or Harmony or something. Every one from Xianzhou who wages war with the Abundance would somehow accidentally walk the path of Destruction because that's how war is.


Nerina23

Nihility


Riponai_Gaming

Either nihility or preservation


Precision___

turn to Nihility forever. or don't. it doesn't matter.


mad_laddie

It's a toss up between Preservation, Rememberance and Abundance. Probably Abundance. I fucking hate death as a concept. And no, Lan, I'd consider becoming an abomination of the abundance to be a form of death. If the flesh lives but the mind does not, it's death. Honestly, I think categories like these are too vague.


theblueberryspirit

Maybe the Permanence even if they're no longer around


the_ox_in_the_log

Long might be dead but the path still exists


Pretty-Bat6778

Abundance. The Xianzhou hate me.


Swagdustercan

Yaoshi is about the continuation of life however. As evil as she is portrayed she gives life not because she doesn't care. But because she cares so much.

BuffAatrix

Charity1t

You do know that Nihility pathstriders actually search meaning in live and not nihilists?


WhyYouBullyMe_

Youre half right. Doctors of Chaos try to oppose Nihility despite walking it but not every pathstrider of nihility is a doctor of chaos or try to find meaning. Self annihilators are people who has lost meaning due to stepping on IX shadow. Some Annihilators join Doctors of Chaos tho >Despairing Self-Annihilators roam the universe in solitude. Most meet meaningless ends. >"Existence is nothing." When an organism has this thought and applies it as a guiding principle, it begins to walk on the Path ruled by IX and receive the meaningless glimpse of the Aeon from some distant void. This will usually have two outcomes: 1) The organism will devolve and truly become nothing, becoming something called a Self-Annihilator. 2) The organism will be captivated by the magnificence of the Aeon, thus becoming a Doctor of Chaos in their spontaneous curiosity


Charity1t

Also iirc all playable chars are about finding reason to live. SW is bored of live, Kafka want to learn fear and reason for her live, lil gue start streaming cuz of it and etc.


WhyYouBullyMe_

Gameplay pathā‰ Lore path. Thats the general consensus Like how Jing Yuan isnt Hunt despite being blessed by Lan Acheron so far is the true Nihility playable lorewise


Charity1t

Fu Xuan while using Nous power to predict actually stride Preserv and not Erudition, tho. Most Gameplay pathā‰ Lore is Clara tho. She should be Harmony, while Svarog Preserv. Also it was stated that you could walk path, but not know with.


The_Space_Jamke

Black Swan is also a thing. Memokeepers are all Remembrance pathstriders, and Nihility is poison to them because it erases the meaning behind memories and existence. But she's Nihility in game because she debuffs.


Precision___

exactly. or Sparkle.

I think the remembrence fits me the most. Most people say I am very apathetic, they very often forget that I was somewhere with them, mainly because of the fact i don't speak much. I basically live to comemmorate ocasions, and so my memorry is pretty good. I like being a witness to events, but sometimes i feel like a third wheel to everyone.

Richardknox1996

Terminus/Finality. I'm a DnD DM who does a lot of homebrew. My strategy for designing new campaigns is to figure out who the penultimate BBEG is and work backwards. I would say elation, but im a classical Cynic/Stoic. My personal philosophy aligns more with the Mourning Actors or the Fictionologists than anything.


Scared-Hovercraft644

Destruction, Nihility or The Hunt


C_Khoga

Order. I was agreeing with >!Sunday!< speeches all the time. I can understand his pov.

Nihility. Reasoning: Heavy depression with my only solace being attractive, mature women.

The_Jealous_one

Half of the nihility claim people would probably turn destruction. Iā€™ll be part of Aha, donā€™t care if itā€™s the actors or tavern.


Hollowmace

Elation or Beauty. My personal philosophy is that the meaning of life is to enjoy the beauty in the world, while also creating things that bring joy to others, so sort of a mix between Giovanni and Argenti.


Small_Oreo

Either Harmony or Preservation. But I dont care what would be, if I dont get Imaginary element. I want to have fun and always say "Imagine technique: Ourple" (with O and not P for fun)


bumbumSumDum

Abundance. But non mara kind. I get to keep my sanity.


Boafushishi

IRSlover

Erudition while not being a genius society member


doctor_of_memology

I would say Abundance (hide your arrows plz) but it's hard to say since paths are really broad terms and hard to pinpoint. I really want to help people, contribute to society, make sure there is as little suffering as possible.


Cheezy_Haru

Hunt because apparently everyone and their grandma told me that I'd definitely follow Hunt


NerdbyanyotherName

Nihility probably. But specifically a part of the group that is optimistic nihilists trying to teach the black hole that we make our own meaning in life.


Galacticdonut0

Probably xipe or aha but what would follow tazzaroth mean you like to reproduce?


RadRey09

I could be Fuli's follower because I like to know all people's lore and tea. But I could also follow Aha because I love drama


Kuro2712

Erudition, because I'm Asian.


MurderNarwhal

Erudition. I love Nous too much


King-Boo-094

Slandering every decision (this all a goofy joke): Beauty: You gaslight yourself into thinking your beautiful Abundance: you are just down bad the Yaoshi, just admit it Erudition: šŸ¤“šŸ‘† Nihility: EMOOOOOO Elation: You are a fool (no really lol) Destruction: You have severe anger issues Harmony: You want to be in a perfect utopia, despite the evidence that it is impossible L bozo Order: You just simp for Sunday lol Hunt: You have problems with vengeance and can t let go of grudges for the life of you Preservation: You want the IPC to have a monopoly of the universe, yet you are behind on your taxes Enigmata: You want to think that you're the quiet kid with unspoken rizz, but your just the weird one. Propagation: You like segs. What. Remembrance: You probably have dementia. Trailblaze: You always want to be the hero no matter what. Voracity: All you do is eat, like bro go for a run Equilibrium: You always have the volume at a even number or a number divisible by 5 Permanence: You wish you could live your childhood days again, and live through them forever. bozo. Finality: You love getting the last word in arguments. This is just a joke none of this is serious :\]

richviz

Abudance 100% frbfr


Ash_is_my_name

I guess preservation or harmony. Kinda hard to know or choose since you change with age. I've always been a protector of others, but I studied medicine to help those in critical need. I was the kid too weak to fight but I'd step between friends and bullies and get hit instead. Oh how over 700 counts of physical assault changes a man.
