Moon

by Iridescent

**Moon** is an NPC seen in both Conquest of Talos and Lost in Paradise. He is the owner of an interdimensional casino called the The Crescent Corner.

## Appearance

Moon appears as a tall yellow and beige tabaxi with black stripes. A mixture of a spot and stripes across one of his eyes look reminiscent of an eyepatch. His eyes are a very pale purple. He has puffs of fur on either side of his face, as well as some on his chin that resembles a beard. He wears a cavalier's hat with a feather in it, a white shirt, dark gray pants with a belt, and a open gray suit jacket. The shirt is adorned with a cat pin and a pocket watch is hooked onto the belt, usually tucked into a nearby pocket.

He has revealed to a very small few that he is in actuality a moon elf. His outfit remains the same in both forms, but he instead is a dark skinned elf with long blond hair. One of his eyes is somewhat silver in color, but has an iridescent sheen. The other is normally covered by an eyepatch with the eye of Horus on it. Underneath, it looks "like you're trying to stare into a kaleidoscope".

## Personality

Moon is extremely friendly, affable, and loud. He accentuates his eccentric personality with similarly goofy magical abilities, such as comically stretching limbs and removing body parts. He very often tries to keep people in a good mood, sometimes being too over-the-top when situations do not call for it. On rare occasions that he is bothered by something, he gets more reclusive, and tries to brush it off and act okay if anyone questions him.

## Backstory

Peony grew up in a now nonexistent continent known as Eldora. He had traveled far along the territory as his family traveled often. He had a good life and friends, all of them enjoying goofing around and just enjoying life. However, there was a civil war brewing during their childhoods, and a large battle broke out where he was when he was a young adult. It was ended with a large flash that killed most, but for him caused changes in him that he still doesn't fully understand to this day. The major thing was him losing one of his eyes and gaining a magical one.

Some point after this, he had adopted a new persona and created the Crescent Casino. Over his time running it, he gained more employees, including four he calls the "casino crew". Each had a theme based on one of the four card suits.

## Lost in Paradise

Lost in Paradise chronologically happens during some of the events of Conquest of Talos. For most of it he is practically non-existent, only occasionally being mentioned by Umbra. In the last two sessions, he has a slightly larger role, with Umbra asking him to open portals to bring people to safety from the war in Chirurin. He also interacts more with the party and affiliated NPCs once they've all officially left the continent.

## Relationships

### Umbra Silverstein

Moon would tell people that they are just close friends, and that he cares about him just as a friend should. In actuality, while he does see their bond as a friendship, it goes for deeper than he implies. He can see parts of himself in "Penumbra" as he calls him, and does wish to improve their bond even further, but has some personal issues that get in the way of that at times. So far, he is the only person he's purposely shown his true identity.

### Spectra

Moon is on good terms with Spectra, they are friends. Moon particularly likes dancing with them, even though Solara is the main preformer.

### Solara

Moon is friends with Solara, and they are drinking buddies.
