The latest Honkai: Star Rail The story takes place at Paperfold University in Penacony, where the Trailblazer experiences university life while struggling with a memetic virus that infects the minds of students. During this adventure Honkai: Star Rail Players will meet some interesting characters, such as a famous film director named Mr. Reca.
Mr. Reca is an eccentric character who, with the help of his “assistant director”, a mechanical frog, is passionate about using dream bubble technology to make his next film. In addition to his work as a director, like Black Swan, he is also a memokeeper from the garden of memory and uses filmmaking as a medium for collecting memories. Although Mr. Reca is now just an NPC, there has been much speculation about his role in Honkai: Star Rail in future updates.

The Hoyoverse is a web of complicated parallel worlds, and Honkai: Star Rail's Astral Express crew could be the perfect group to untangle it.
Honkai: Star Rail's Mr. Reca may not be an NPC for long
Mr. Reca's role in the version 2.6 story, “Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age”, has caught the attention of many fans thanks to his exaggerated personality and intelligence in the fight against Profnana Primon. Because of this, many want to see more of the character and even recruit him to their teams. There were rumors that Mr. Reca could be a 4-star playable character in a future update, but there was no information about his abilities. Based on his design, it could be likely that he will become playable, and he could even have abilities based on the rumored new path called Remembrance, which will reportedly be introduced in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0.
The Path of Memory is only playable in the simulated universe, which places great emphasis on freezing effects. However, the rumored path in the main game will allow characters to summon a minion that can act independently. They appear to be similar to Atlus' Personas, but have different abilities and damage output than their host characters, which would be the first time this has happened Honkai: Star Rail will have such a mechanic in the main game. Mr. Reca's equipment is still unknown, but considering he is a Memokeeper who follows the Path of Memory and has a mechanical frog friend that he could probably summon on the battlefield, he could be one of the first characters to get the leads to a new path.

On the other hand, Honkai: Star Rail also has a history of introducing very detailed NPCs who play important roles in the story but end up being unplayable. A recent example is Micah, a grave guardian in Penacony's Dreamflux Reef who players want as a playable entity due to his cool backstory and design. However, it's likely that Micah will remain within the confines of his world, and Mr. Reca could suffer the same fate if he doesn't emerge as a 4-star character in version 3.0. This might be disappointing news for many fans, but HoYoverse has finally made Liyue's Cloud Retainer playable Genshin Impact character, so perhaps hope is not lost Honkai: Star Rail's NPCs.
More exciting characters can be seen in the next big Honkai: Star Rail arc
Next year, Honkai: Star Rail will begin its next major story arc, set on the fourth planet, Amphoreus. This means there will be a new set of characters on the horizon, including a leaked character named Aglaea, Herta's rumored true form, and Trailblazer's next variant. Some leaks about characters in version 3.0 and above don't seem to mention Mr. Reca, but that could change in the coming months. Overall, it will be interesting to see how the Astral Express crew and their new companions solve the mysteries of Amphoreus.
