This thread will focus exclusively on Welt Yang's profile rework, as I personally believe it is necessary.
This is the current profile: Welt Yang (old)
This is the proposed new one: Welt Yang (new)
Why is it necessary?
To put it simply, the current version is a composite of his Honkai Impact self (which in this new profile will be referred to as "Herrscher of Reason") and his Honkai: Star Rail self (which will be referred to as "Pathstrider"). As it stands, it almost seems like he still has access to the Authority of Reason and Honkai Energy at Herrscher levels during the events of HSR, despite this not being true, and viceversa it look like he possess the abilities of a Pathstrider in HI, which is also not the case.
With this rework, the two will be separated into different keys to reflect this.
What changes with the stats?
Most of the statistics remain the same, and this is because the two keys mostly scale to each other, with his HoR self being referred to as his "heyday", but his Pathstrider self is not significantly inferior to it. Nonetheless, there are some important changes that will occur in other non-physical aspects.
His HoR key will scale to High 1-C not only with the Star of Eden (as he already does in the profile) but also with the Authority of Reason. This is due to the Imaginary Barrier of Sirin tanking attacks from the Star of Eden, yet Welt could empower himself to physically breach it, and the army created with his Reason Manifest could crack it, which enables it to scale to the SoE, if not even higher.
This also means that Imaginary Barriers, as a whole, will now scale to High 1-C. As previously stated, the Imaginary Barrier created by Sirin tanked attacks from the Star of Eden, confirming its High 1-C status, and Welt's Imaginary Barrier was also able to block Ryusuke's higher-dimensional attacks, rendering dimensional weapons ineffective against it. Thus, Welt gains High 1-C Durability with his own Imaginary Barrier, and if eventually a profile for Sirin will be made she will also have that listed under her Durability.
On the other hand, his Pathstrider key will receive a downgrade. This is mainly because his cane (which is the Star of Eden) is a replica of the original, and while the replicas created with the Authority of Reason have feats that place them at High 1-C, this specific one does not possess dimensional feats of the same scale. Therefore, until more information is provided about it or it demonstrates impressive feats, the SoE in his Pathstrider key will be listed as "Unknown".
What changes in the P&A?
As already stated, the abilities shown by him in the two games will be separated into his two keys. His HoR key will lack any mentions of the abilities of the Paths, while his Pathstrider key will not have the Authority of Reason and the Honkai Energy at Herrscher levels. However, the shared abilities will remain, and in particular, both keys will have access to the Star of Eden and its P&A, with the Pathstrider key simply lacking its AP but retaining its powers just fine. He will also still be able to use Honkai Energy, but only throught the SoE itself rather then him physically, but wont be listed in the profile since HE is already in the P&A of the Divine Key itself.
Some more abilities will also be added to his Authority of Reason, but for the details about those you can check the sandbox itself. I mainly focused my efforts on his HoR key since the HI3 side of the verse is the one I know better and it was the part of the profile that was mostly lacking. If there are adjustments to be made for his Pathstrider key (either to expand on current justifications or to add new abilities), I will leave those to people who have more knowledge about that than I do.
This should be it. Hopefully, this shouldn't be too controversial. Thanks to @Shiroiyo for providing feedback on the draft and to the entire group that is working hard to revise the verse.
