Luna

Luna is the God of Nature and Magic, but he is mostly known for his old age, curses that affect his senses, and his odd collection of past lovers. Before he came to be a god, however, he was revered as one of the most dangerous warriors to walk the earth, who battled both mortal beings in war and great beasts that plagued the land.

Due to the 'old world' ending, Luna's consciousness travelled the multiverse and merged with a Luna variant in the Season 2 world. Although confused, he is greatly aware of the multiverse and the collapse of space time continuum, and would have to pull through it all with the fact that he technically lived two lives, one of which was far more darker than the other.

## Appearance

* First Variant
* Second Variant
* Amalgamation Variant

### Physical Appearance

Luna is 6'5" in height and has a slender or toned build. He has pale skin and red hair and eyes. His hair is kept long due to the traditions of his kind, which he is still trying to preserve. He ties up his hair in either a half bun/ponytail or in a single braid, and he has two locks of hair tied on either side of his head to keep them from getting into his eyes. There is a light sprinkle of freckles around his eyes and bridge of his nose.

Luna also has a fading scar that runs across the bridge of his nose, and one that is barely noticeable on his eye.

Due to his curse, Luna has black markings on his neck resembling spikes pointing down from the base of his neck. His lips also have a dark tint to them.

Luna has also stopped aging when he was 26 years old.

### Clothing

Luna's clothing usually come in monotone or dark colors. He also makes sure to wear articles of clothing that do not restrict movement, as in his spare time he goes 'convict hunting' and chopping down wood.

He usually wears a striped button up, black trousers, and boots underneath his Netherite armor, which he only wears when he is in difficult fights. When he gets cold, he wears either a simple leather jacket with a fur hood, or a black coat with white fur in the interior.

When he's 'convict hunting' he wears a leather apron.

### Different Physical Forms

Ever since he ascended to godhood, he had gained the ability to shapeshift into three other forms.

* **Hybrid Form** - A cross between his human form and his beast form. Although Luna has never looked in the mirror while in this form, there were a few witness accounts that say he has long horns, sunken in cheeks, and eyes with black iris and glowing red pupils. He also seems to have grown in height. He uses this form when he's 'convict hunting'.
* **Beast Form** - Luna has never had to change into this form so it has never been seen. There also wasn't a final decision to what this form looks like, other than it looks similar to the character Elias Ainsworth from the anime and manga Ancient Magus Bride.
* **God Form** - Another form that Luna has never needed to change into, but there are accounts as to what it looks like as there were other Gods of Nature that came before him that also have this same form. This form stands at 540 km, inspired by the length of the mountain ranges named Sierra Madre. This form is covered in vegetation. The form also takes the shape of an androgynous person, with long hair that appears green as it is made of plants, and eyes that flow white.

### Physical Appearance

Luna is 6'5" in height and has a slender or toned build. He has pale skin and red hair. His hair is kept long due to the traditions of his kind, which he is still trying to preserve. He ties up his hair in either a half bun/ponytail or in a single braid, and he has two locks of hair tied on either side of his head to keep them from getting into his eyes. There is a light sprinkle of freckles around his eyes and bridge of his nose.

Luna also has a fading scar that runs across the bridge of his nose, and one that is barely noticeable on his eye.

Due to his curse, Luna's eyes are a pure black with hints of green and purple. They were said to have resembled the End Portal texture or the The End void itself. Not many are able to see his eyes as he tends to cover them with a blindfold.

This Luna stopped aging around 32 years old, so he appears older.

### Clothing

Luna's clothing usually come in monotone or dark colors. He also makes sure to wear articles of clothing that do not restrict movement.

He usually wears a striped button up, black trousers, and boots underneath his Netherite armor, which he only wears when he is in difficult fights.

As he is the God of Magic, many parts of his outfit are worn due to the magical effects they inflict on him. He wears several golden jewelry with gems and crystals, most of which are imbued with magic. His blindfolds usually come in dark colors, sometimes with golden patterns. These blindfolds are also imbued with magic to keep them in place. They also apparently turn into snakes and back into simple pieces of fabric.

Luna also wears a green corset that weakens him. It allows him to get incapacitated in circumstances that make mortals, even with experiences in combats, die. (It basically nerfs him.)

Lastly, Luna wears a cape/coat that is also imbued with magic. It helps him adjust to temperatures easily.

This variant of Luna basically wears more traditional/medieval clothing, mixed with modern styles.

### Different Physical Forms

Ever since he ascended to godhood, he has gained the ability to shapeshift into another form.

This other form, known as his God Form, does not actually have a physical body. It could be described as a floating orb of red glowing light. It could also appear as something similar to biblically accurate angels. There is no final decision made as to what it looks like. It is just known to appear 'fitting for a god of magic'.

### Physical Appearance

As this variant is just a merged version of the first two variants, he has the basic details that they have; they both have long red hair, freckles, pale skin, height, and scars.

However, as the body used belongs to the second variant, Luna now appears to be in his 30s/40s. The only features that he has that indicates that he is also the first Luna variant are his dark, tinted lips and the markings on around his neck.

### Clothing

As Luna decided to continued acting as if he is the second variant, he wears the second variant's clothing. He, however, adds a little more modern twist to his outfits.

### Different Physical Forms

As this variant is a merged version of the other two variants, he has all of their other physical forms.

However, the God Forms are also merged together as Luna is now the God of Nature and Magic. The form would assume the God of Nature's gigantic body covered in stone and vegetation, but it would have some of the God of Magic's features like its blinding red glow.
## Behaviour and Personality

**The First Variant** was said to have been an older brother figure. He was cheerful, generous, kind. He was also known to be eccentric, even crazy (this is due to his past). He had a knack for joking around and teasing the other SMP members, as seen in the way that he made friends with certain people from the village. He also still had the hero complex he had when he was younger, as he took it upon himself to get rid of the runaway convicts found in the forests. His morality is, as expected, questionable, especially when others learned that he has a morgue under his house where he experimented on the corpses that he collects.

**The Second Variant** was noted to have a 'darker' past. This would have been guessed by his quiet and calm demeanor. When he was in wars, this demeanor was noted to have been far different; he was brooding, stoic, and was only softer with those he deemed to be closer to him. Before the events of Season 2, he adopted a fatherly nature, especially after he adopted his first child. He became sweeter, kinder, and more sensitive. He is often seen with a somber expression, and his smile would have a hint of sadness in it. While his morality is questionable still, he does not choose to use his powers and smarts to harm living creatures. He instead chooses to experiment with artificial life.

**For the Amalgamation Variant:** As the Luna's from both seasons merged, so did their personalities. However, it is evident that Season 1 Luna's traits were more dominant. This implies that Season 2 Luna's mental health had been in a bad state when Season 1 Luna merged with him. Currently, Luna is seen as less energetic, lazier, and he certainly has a darker sense of humor. His logic is also strange, his morality far more questionable. In a way, he is overall unstable.

## Curses

Luna has two official curses, but it is implied that all or most Luna's across the multiverse is cursed to live a miserable life. One of Luna's life achievements is to find a way to break his curses.

* **The Voice of the Wither** - the curse the first variant was born with. Whenever Luna uses his voice, those around him get the withering effect. It can cause death. Luna speaks telepathically with people he is close with, uses sign language when speaking to those who know sign language, and writes notes for others. In season 2, he employs his various pet parrots to speak for him when he wants to relay a message to someone far away.

* **The Eyes of the Void**- the curse the second variant was born with. People, and other living creatures, who look into his eyes will get captivated and trapped by his gaze. They will soon start having a mental attack until they are saved from his gaze or they die, either from extreme shock or a heart attack. Luna wears magical blindfolds to shield others from his gaze, taking his eyesight away unless he removes them or uses an energy-consuming spell that lets them see through the eyes of any living creature within range. He can see perfectly well without the blindfold, so he removes it whenever he's alone. Sometimes, when he has to be around other people, he brings a wolf or two to assist him in walking around. He also has a cane (which is a thin, sheathed sword) that he sometimes uses.

After Season 1 Luna merged with Season 2, his curses get added on top of each other. It is said that if he proceeds to merge with another Luna from another universe, his two curses will follow him.

While his curses mostly restrict some of his senses and limit him at times, he creates workarounds for them. He also thinks that it does not make him disabled as both his voice and eyesight are still usable when he is alone.

## Backstory

The two variants are born with the same circumstances;

Luna was born to the God of Fire, Vulcan, and the mortal nymph, Venus Lee, making him a demigod. No matter what curse he is born with, his mother's death will always be caused by either him or due to childbirth. Her death would cause a big rift to form between him and Vulcan, for Vulcan would blame him for her death. Luna was also born small and his curse would disable him at times, which frustrates Vulcan as he expected him to turn into a god of great status.

He was mostly raised by the village elders, as part of his birthplace's cultural traditions and so his father would not have to care for him most of the time. Luna would tell those who ask about his relationship with his father that he was happiest when he was absent. Luckily for him, Vulcan is often out of the picture due to his work as the God of Fire.

Being raised by the village elders and caretakers, along with other children, Luna learned magic at a very young age to create workarounds for his curse. He grew up being admired by other people his age as he was always known to surpass expectations. His place of birth is currently unnamed, but Luna would describe it in stories as a settlement hidden deep within a spruce forest which can be found in the middle of a ' vast snowy desert'. He would live in this settlement for 26 years, studying magic that was part of the settlement's culture and working as a carpenter and woodsman as he wished to follow in his mother's footsteps.

### Participation in Wars

Both first and second variants of Luna's birthplaces were destroyed as they were caught up in the middle of a war. Their homes were known to be good sources of high-quality materials used to create strong weaponry. It was also home to records about magic that were developed to solve various problems found in societies. The settlement was a utopia that many kingdoms sought to get on their side.

The settlement would refuse to join any side of the war and have planned to keep away from the dangers of war. Unfortunately, the kingdom that they had been trying to negotiate with assumed that they would instead side with their opponents. Troops were sent to destroy the village, killing nearly everyone. Only a handful of people survived, including Luna.

Luna had been travelling with a merchant to study magic, woodworking, and even combat. He returned to a village in flames, the great trees of the forest ablaze with red fire. This made him angry, especially after seeing that even the children weren't spared. So he decided to use his strength as a demigod to take down those who destroyed his home.

This led him to join the war. He fought against the side that had caused the ruin of his village. His name would reach the far corners of the world, as well as his first title; *The Executioner.*

The war would end after five years. Luna would be known as one of the strongest beings in the world. This would pique Vulcan's interest, and he would shimmy himself back into his life to train him, in hopes of making a god out of him. Vulcan would send him to various locations to take down beasts that plagued the land. Luna would also be encouraged to rub elbows with various royal families and governments to expand his power and gain loyalty from them. He would stop and even start wars.

According to Season 1 Luna, his life was far less 'miserable' and 'bloody' compared to Season 2 Luna's. The latter apparently had more to do with starting in small wars and battles, and had even killed innocents for the sole purpose of 'eradicating the worst from the world'.

### Lovers

While Luna only ever had one serious relationship, he was known to have been romantically involved with various people, most of which were in positions of power. This was his way of getting kingdoms to move to his side. He'd also use one night stands as an opportunity to assassinate his targets. His targets would either be the person he's sleeping with, or someone related to them.

The one serious romantic relationship he had was with a ship captain and adventurer named Alberto Rose, who was part of the last war he had been a part of. The second variant of Luna would have met him during this war, whereas the first variant Luna would meet him on his mission to kill the End Dragon.

It is confirmed that he had short, and mostly sexual, relationships with two gods; the God of Death and Tyche, the Goddess of Chance and Fortune. Luna met the God of Death (currently unnamed) as he was the cause of the death of many mortals. After their relationship, Luna would avoid anything relating to necromancy (despite being the god of all magics), claiming that he 'does not want to f\*ck with the god of death'. Tyche had met him on his 20th birthday to inform him that he will be quite unlucky. Sometime later, they would start seeing each other for pleasure. They mutually ended their relationship and are supposedly friendly with each other now.

### Killing for Godhood

It was believed back in Luna's day that killing the End Dragon was a gateway to godhood. And so Luna was sent by Vulcan to kill the End Dragon. However, the situations for the two variants were different.

* First Variant
* Second Variant

Luna was told to slay the dragon, not only as an attempt to ascend to godhood, but also to claim The End and to permanently become the strongest and most fearsome among the gods. The dragon egg would have been his trophy.

After finding that the intact stronghold with a working End portal, he was tasked to sail across the sea to the continent where the Season 1 spawn would be located. He hitches a ride on a cargo ship that also took passengers. There, he meets the captain of the ship, Alberto Rose. The journey to the continent took one month, which was enough time for him to have a relationship with Captain Rose.

Luna and Alberto would part the moment the ship was docked. They made a promise that they would come together again after Luna slays the dragon, and would make a home within the Taiga forest with tall spruce trees similar to the ones that used to surround Luna's birthplace.

Luna would venture into the End realm where he was met with the mighty dragon. Unfortunately, he underestimated himself, and had lost stamina in the middle of battle. The dragon would throw him off the main island, sending him into the void.

The second variant Luna was told that to be the strongest god, he would have to slay the Mother Dragon— the goddess who was the first ever End Dragon to exist. The gateway to the Mother Dragon's island would change, connecting to a different stronghold periodically, so it was difficult to find a portal that would lead Luna directly to her.

This is how Luna formed a romantic relationship with Captain Rose; while they had met during the war, they would occasionally meet in different parts of the world, having an on and off relationship, until they got together to accompany Luna to the correct stronghold. Alberto would not be aware that Luna's intention with the Mother Dragon was to kill her. This was because Luna kept it a secret, as Alberto was a devout follower of the goddess.

When they arrived at the stronghold, Alberto finally found out Luna's intentions. He first tried to talk him out of it, but Luna was a damaged individual; he was convinced that this was the right thing to do, and that by becoming what his father wanted him to be, he would finally accept him. It came down to Alberto having to fight Luna. But even if Alberto was a hybrid of strong creatures, he didn't stand a chance against Luna.

Luna would be able to incapacitate Alberto. Knowing that he had lost the fight, and that he was going to die, he asks Luna to take his blindfold off so that he can at least die looking into his eyes.

Afterwards, Luna would venture into the End realm to face the Mother Goddess.

However, he wakes up too late, and realizes all the wrong that he has done. He realizes that his father's approval was worth less than the lives of the people he killed. He gives up in the middle of the fight and asks the Mother Dragon to punish him— death was not the appropriate sentence for him. And so he was thrown into the void.
### The Thousand-year Sentence

As Luna was a demigod when he was thrown into the End void, he did not die like all the others. He drifted in the void for a thousand years. For the first variant, if he had fallen long enough, he would have been ejected back into the Overworld. However, the gods saw this as an opportunity to cage him as they were afraid of the sheer amount of power he had. So they sealed the portal off, preventing him from 'spawning back'.

The second variant, on the other hand, was not allowed to return to the Overworld regardless if the portal had been sealed off or left open. It was part of his punishment, after all. Drifting through the void was his punishment.

While he was not able to die by falling out of the world, he was not immune to the void's harmful effects to the body. His body would wither away until he was 'nearly' dead, stop, heal, then wither away again, putting him through a continuous stream of pain. He would grow thin, and one by one his armor pieces would come off and drift away from him. Luna would go insane first, then he would slowly lose feeling, until he was a blank slate.

### The Demigod Sisters and Godhood

At the end of his thousand-year sentence, Luna would be brought back to the Overworld by a demigod named Vera. Vera, and her sister Nilea, are twin daughters of an unnamed god. They too had been working towards godhood, but every attempt they made proved unsuccessful. Vera had thought that their failed attempts at ascension were because of the gods' distaste for them, so she decides to bring Luna back to either intimidate them into submission, to slay them, or both.

Nilea did not share Vera's feelings and felt sympathy for Luna. She focused on nursing him back to health and helping him recover his memories. Vera would teach him whatever knowledge she had, and introduced him to Balduf Conri, King of Wolves, to train under him. These three individuals end up becoming Luna's adoptive or foster parents, but it was Nilea with whom he shared a deeper and healthy familial relationship.

Luna tried to get along with Vera, as he understood the hardships she had gone through. However, she was focused on getting her revenge, so the relationship became rocky in the end.

Balduf Conri had tried to officially name him as his son. This is due to the fact that he did not accept his daughter's (Cookie) methods of ascending to godhood. Luna saw the similarities he had with his biological father, Vulcan, so he refused him. He still regards him as one of his best mentors, though.

As for Cookie, their relationship ended up rocky as well at first. Cookie did not like his methods of godhood as she had denounced violence. She managed to convince him to give up violence too, and to choose more peaceful methods to becoming a god if he chooses to become a god again. They ended up having a sibling relationship.

**For the first variant:** Around this time, two years or so after returning to the Overworld, Nilea had started thinking of leaving the home she shared with Vera and taking Luna with her. After all the years of working towards an unreachable goal, Vera grew deranged. She did not want to lose her sister, nor did she want her taking away her tool for revenge. So she took Luna's axe and used it to kill her sister. After Nilea died, Vera realized the err of her ways, and begged Luna to kill her when he came back home.

**For the second**: Nilea herself would grow more deranged than Vera. She'd blow up at her sister for using Luna. Vera argues back and in the heat of the moment, claims that she does not care for Luna's feelings at all, and she'd stop at nothing to get what she wants. Angered, Nilea takes Luna's axe to attack her. Unfortunately, she was the smaller and weaker of the two, and only succeeded in mutilating Vera without immediately killing her. At this point, Nilea is too disturbed. When Luna came back home, he sees her and is disappointed to realize that she is beyond saving. This is where Luna turns into an executioner again; he kills Nilea with the same axe, right before ending Vera's life out of mercy.

Luna would bury the twins under an azalea tree. For some reason, the universe chooses this as a time for him to ascend godhood.

The first variant turns into the God of Nature, but is still quite adept with magic, while the second turns into the God of Magic. When both Luna's merged, so did his godliness. Currently, he is the God of Nature and Magic.

### Settling Down

* First Variant
* Second Variant

Luna would later on travel the world to learn more magic and to recover more of his memories and relics from his birthplace. He would return home just as a village would start forming across the river at the foot of his hill.

Seeing as the continent where the spawn village had been created was new territory, runaway criminals would use it as a hiding place. Luna decided to hunt these convicts down, scaring them in his hybrid form, and killing them as soon as he has them cornered. Having started this 'hobby', he realized that he could not let go of his murderous tendencies. He tries to validate his actions by saying that if he left his targets to run around in the forests, not only would he be betraying his duties as the God of Nature, but also as one of the resident gods of the village.

Luna would then use the studies that belonged to his foster mothers and his real mother as reference in experimenting with the corpses he accumulated from hunting the convicts down. He would create fertilizer that helped him grow tall spruce trees, similar to the ones he grew up around in his childhood.

Before he regained his memories of his lover from a thousand years ago, Captain Alberto Rose, he fell in love with the largest of his spruce trees. This is due to the promise he made with Rose, that they would meet again to explore the exotic tall trees growing in the continent where they last met. He unconsciously related romance to the tall trees, and had named the tree he fell in love with after Rose.

Luna would later on travel the world to learn more magic and to recover more of his memories and relics from his birthplace. He would return home around the time that the island would start getting more residents.

He decided to explore his foster mothers' home, distinctively remembering Vera mentioning that there the hill was actually hollow underneath the basement. This led him to naming the residence 'Hollow Hill'. Mining around underneath the Hollow Hill cavern had led him to discover a mineshaft connecting to ruined catacombs. He would convert the catacombs into a XP farm with the spider spawners.

As he had also recovered his biological mother's studies, he came up with the idea of using the bodies in the catacombs in experiments involving golemancy. It would be the start of him creating his villager hall and eventually, the village hidden in Hollow Hill.

It was around this time that he meets his first adopted son, Archer. Luna found him knocking on his door, mistaking him for a great wizard who grants wishes. He decided to adopt him and even gave him his own surname. He would have Archer for a handful of years, before he would tragically die young.

Some time after he would adopt his second adopted child, Mar.

Eventually, he would also meet his new neighbor, Jamie, who he would later on find out is a very distant cousin.
### Meeting other variants

Luna had heard news about a spruce forest that resembled the one that used to exist around his birthplace. This forest is located in a settlement named *Moonrise*. He chose to travel to see this forest. His reasoning was that back before his birthplace had been destroyed, foreigners would either smuggle or buy saplings to get a chance at growing the trees. The trees had magic in them, which is what made the wood 'as strong as diamonds', so cultivating them was no easy feat. Luna also just wanted to see them for nostalgia's sake.

Arriving at Moonrise, he learned that the inn had been closed for renovations. Other than the inn, foreigners were encouraged to stay at Moonrise Camp. This is where he meets Anatoly Rei, one of the camp's counselors. Luna's sensitivity to the space time continuum let him know that Anatoly is, surprisingly, a variant of his despite being his polar opposite. As Anatoly does not practice magic, she is unaware of the multiverse, and had assumed that Luna was just a strange, wise god.

Luna, the amalgamation variant, would meet other variants later on but Anatoly having existed in the same world as the second variant of Luna meant that the collapse of the multiverse was already in effect before season 2.

## Seasonal Lore

### Season 1

Luna would be known, other than the God of Nature, as a lumberjack who was constantly cutting down trees. He would also be seen growing more trees using the fertilizer and compost he made with the results of his 'convict hunting'. He would also be spotted, a few times, walking around at night in his hybrid form, sometimes dragging along a bloodied corpse.

During the Crusade (the End Dragon fight), he commented that he still hasn't quite recovered from his fight with the dragon, despite it being more than a thousand years now. He was still afraid of the void and he had mixed feelings about fighting the dragon. When they arrived in the End, Luna said that there was something weird about the island, hinting that the original End Dragon had already been killed and was released with a different dragon.

He was about to start his 'industrialization arc', which consisted of creating automatic farms at massive scales, but was unable to due to the Season 1 world ending.

He knew that the other residents of the village were going to be 'transported' to another universe, but at the cost of their memories. Luna knew that that would cause the collapse of the universe, so he decided to transport himself to the next world in a similar fashion. Except, he would be able to retain his memories, which was vital in his plan to confront the collapse of space time continuum.

### Season 2

The first variant would merge with the second variant, along with his curse and his own memories. He would read the second variant's journals and other documents to gain an introduction to the new world and to act as the second variant. This is when he would learn that he has a family.

He would also decide to keep the whole ordeal involving the multiverse a secret, and would only share it with Jamie, who he learned was also aware of it all due to his own circumstances.

Fortunately, the collapse of the space time continuum had consequences that take long to take effect, allowing him some time to research how exactly to fix it, devise a plan, and to live a little.

Living a little involved travelling the new world and meeting new people. He would meet other variants, though there are no written pieces detailing these meetings.

He would also adopt his third son, Nexus, whom he met during his travels. He shares responsibilities in raising him with Jamie and allowed him to take Mar's old bedroom at home.

* Has a drinking problem (unsurprising).
* Apparently, Luna's name was considered a 'gender neutral' name in his culture.
* His middle initial, X, was his maternal grandmother's surname, Xavion.
* He takes a nap in Jamie's barn when he starts hallucinating the voices of his dead foster mothers at home or starts to have terrible thoughts about his past.
* His race are descendants of 'titans', so they typically grow tall. Luna's height (6'5") is just above average (6'2").
* Canonically, Luna has another place of residence, but it was never actually built in season 1 and may not be built in season 2. It was meant to be built in a snowy Taiga biome that looked a lot like his birthplace. He would visit this place when he wants to be even more isolated from civilization.
* Season 2 Luna killed children (in old wars). His reasoning was; "So they do not have to grow up with the shame of belonging to a kingdom that killed the innocent".
* Luna is Jamie's distant cousin. They are related through Luna's maternal family side, which was comprised of nymphs, gods of different aspects of nature, and various magic users.
