OverviewHistory

The people who have received the grace of the Aeon, Nous. A collection of the most remarkable geniuses and smartest brains in the universe. They come from different backgrounds, with some of them even working in a fruit shop to make a living.

Loading Screen: Genius Society

The Genius Society is an intergalactic organization, whose 84 members are personally selected by Nous the Erudition from across the cosmos, and is a major faction in Honkai: Star Rail.

Description[]

"Into the hallowed halls step pride, ardor, and reason, traversing the length of a corridor etched with the inscription of knowledge and truth, transmuting into the embodiment of lowliness, apathy, and frenzy."

— Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith


Nous stays in a corner of the cosmos, working out the equations of the universe made up of trillions of variables and deriving the unknown laws of imaginary numbers. Once in a while, a spark of intelligence flashes in a mortal world. The Aeon of Erudition sends a signal to its source, inviting geniuses to join in the search for answers to the universe.

Many people misinterpret the signal, thinking the invitation to the Genius Society merely represents the favor and approval of the Aeon. Then, they proudly continue to devote themselves to their studies, unaware that the solution to the problems that they have spent their whole lives searching for had already been solved by Nous thousands of years ago. There are also those who rejoice, thinking they have already reached greatness and had created priceless asset of civilization with their diligence and wisdom. They were sure that their life's achievements deserve Nous's approval. These geniuses were eager for a response from Nous, but the Erudition has no time to appreciate the insignificant achievements of mere mortals. THEIR silence was deafening.

Only very few can ascertain Nous's intentions. They humbly ask questions and seek guidance from the Erudition. These enlightened few then disappear from the world, only leaving behind their world-shattering answers. "The answer to the universe is beyond the limits of mortal wisdom." — Only geniuses who can clearly acknowledge this conclusion can break free from the shackles of worldly curiosity, becoming true members of the Genius Society.

Overview[]

The Genius Society is a gathering of geniuses across the cosmos who had drawn the attention of Nous the Erudition, founded by first member Zandar One Kuwabara. Many often misinterpret the invitation as only an approval. The few who are able to understand the Aeon's intentions are given a key to the halls of the Nous Temple. Those who pass through the gates seek guidance from Nous and leave behind their legacy to never return.[1]

Besides their intellect, members of the society are also known for how much they differ from each other, whether it be in terms of background, ideals, or goals. Most geniuses in the society are lone wolves, asocial, and people with social disorders whom refuse to communicate with each other, and only a few — such as Aiden, Elias Salas, and Herta[2] — are willing to share their findings and use their talent to contribute to the advancement of the cosmos, preferring to indulge in their research for enjoyment.[3] Some are even lunatics, like Rubert I, who dedicated itself to eradicate all organic life forms in the universe,[4] or Polka Kakamond, known for killing fellow members of the society who approach the borders of the Circle of Knowledge.[5][6] Despite the lack of structure within the organization, it "has its own rules."[3]

Due to the tampering of the History Fictionologists and the preference for solitude among most of its members,[7] the history of the organization is mostly shrouded in mystery.
