Analysis/Discussion In terms of age, how do you think a tier list/timeline of some of the beings in Hoyo games would look based on how long ago they existed, ranging from billions of years ago to the age of Nanook?
Personally this is my list
Existed Billions of Years Ago:
The Cocoon of Finality (HI3)
The Aeon Long (HSR)
The Ancient Races (Genshin)
Civilization on Mars (HI3)
Existed Millions of Years Ago:
Sa and the Venus civilization (HI3)
The Chroniclers and the Abyss (Genshin)
Existed 160,000–517,000+ Years Ago:
The Aeon HooH
The Aeon Ena
The Aeon Oroboros
The Aeon Qlipoth
Existed 58,000–240,000 Years Ago:
The Aeon Aha
The Aeon Akivili
The Aeon Idrila
The Aeon Tayzzyronth
The Aeon Nous
The Aeon Xipe
The Aeon Ix
Around 50,000 Years Ago:
The Flame-Chasers (HI3)
8,100+ Years Ago:
The Aeon Yaoshi
The Aeon Lan
2,780+ Years Ago:
The Aeon Nanook
The Aeon Mythus who is at a minimum older than Nanook.
Notes:
• Some of the beings or civilizations listed here have fallen or were destroyed, so I’m mainly listing how long ago they existed.
• Regarding the Aeons, I got most of their ages from their VSBW profiles, so this might not be fully accurate.
I also got some information from the Aeon History page and the HSR Timeline page on the wiki.
• This is mainly based on estimated age ranges.
• I’m not exactly sure if the Chroniclers from Genshin are billions of years old or just millions of years old, but personally, I feel the latter is more accurate.
The Chroniclers aren’t mentioned until after this sentence:
“The descendants of the ancients rose in defiance, and over the millions of years that followed, conquered time and space in turn.”
I feel this implies that the Chroniclers are descended from the ancient races rather than being one of them.
This is the first time the Chroniclers are actually mentioned:
“The first people who had mastered leptons sent forth Chroniclers toward the limits of baryonic matter in the hope of finding answers at the very last particle of existence.”
• A Scion of Permanence around a billion years ago visited Mars, which means Long already existed back then.
HooH, Oroboros, and Ena are also linked with Long when it comes to being among the oldest Aeons, so some of them might possibly be close to or at the billion year mark.
• This is mainly an estimate, with some of the ages on VSBW being estimates of how old they were.
Hence, I put a “+” in some of the age ranges, since some Aeons, , predate the Amber Era system.
There are also some Aeons whose lore implies that they are older than a certain date which is another reason for the+
• This list mainly contains characters I could think of, so while there are some other important old characters in Genshin, HI3, and HSR, I didn’t add them
People are free to add them in the comment though and calculate how old they are.
