Dan Heng

The cold and reserved train guard and archivist of the Astral Express. Wielding a spear named Cloud-Piercer, he joined the Express crew to escape his secluded past.

Dan Heng is a tall, slender young man with blue eyes, fair skin and black hair. He wears a black turtleneck along with a white and green-colored coat, with gold and smoke-styled accents and a piece of jade armor on his left shoulder. He wears gray pants and black high-top shoes with white soles, as well as an oriental-styled jade tassel earring with a lace connected to his other ear.

In contrast to the other members of the Astral Express, Dan Heng's personality is consistently cold and reserved; this does not come from a distaste for communication or human connection, but from traumatic experiences which caused him to leave his homeworld and change his identity. Dan Heng generally keeps his past a secret and does not like others prying into his business; likewise, he leaves others alone when it comes to personal matters unless it directly affects him or his friends.

Dan Heng prefers to avoid stoking conflict unless it is deemed necessary, which is emblematic of his role as a guard for the Astral Express. During his time as one of the Nameless, he has come to care about the Astral Express Crew, and while he values his independency, he does not mind spending time with them.
