## Info

### Era

Sony Sketch Era

Lunua is the creator and guardian of the multiverse where Purgatory, Nitro City, Last Wish, and the majority of AUs take place. Despite her immense power she tends to be meek and introverted, and does not display any violent tendencies.

## Creation Process

The concept of a 'god' character was never thought of before Lunua's creation, since at that time only Purgatory existed. In addition, the AUs present at the time were not considered to take place in a multiverse, and were treated as seperate canons. However, during a playthrough of Dragon Quest Builders 2, SkeletonHearts was creating pixel art of Lua. They only had the outline done at the time, but just as they were getting ready to complete the sculpture the game's moon shone through Lua's hollow tail.

The visual was so unique that it caused SkeletonHearts to immediately drop the game in order to create a character based off of the scene, thus Lunua was born.

After that point, the extended SkeletonHearts universe began to be built with Lunua in mind. Before Lunua, a Wireframe!Luca had already existed, based off of SkeletonHeart's passing interest in wireframe sculptures. However, with Lunua's wireframe theme, it was decided that Wireframe!Luca would become a species, and work directly for Lunua in order to keep the universe in check. This concept evolved further and it was revealed that the *entire* Lunua-verse was created using wireframe, which is now a magical metaphysical material that Lunua can use to create anything.

In Last Wish, Koro is able to absorb Lunua and Souless to become Rewrite, an entity that is similar in appearance to Lunua due to being made of black wireframe as well. Overall, Lunua has been an integral part in the SkeletonHearts extended universe, shaping many of the decisions made in it's design as well as inspiring many character dynamics, such as SY\_NULL's endless hunger for Wireframe, or the Enjoyers fervent interest in her creations.

## Appearance

In truth, Lunua's actual appearance is unknown, and is possibly incomprehensible. However, due to finding Lua 'cute' she has decided to alter her form in order to look more similar to her. In that sense, Lunua and Lua share many physical traits such as being Riolus, and having a short stature with canine attributes. Lunua wears a light blue dress with long baggy sleeves and a partition in the middle, showing off a small galaxy within Lunua's body. The body itself is reminiscent of space or the night sky, with many small stars floating around inside, with three larger ones seemingly making up her eyes and mouth.

Inside her tail lies a moon, just like the one present in her DQB2 inspiration. The moon changes phases depending on her mood, with the phases closer to a full moon indicating happiness, and the phases closer to a new moon indicating sadness.

In relation to the Dragon Quest series, Lunua's final design was partially inspired by the Iron Maiden enemy, specifically the ones seen in Dragon Quest XI.

## Lore

### The Beginning

Lunua's multiverse was once governed by her parents. While information on them is sparse, all records conclude that they were a fair and kind set of gods, always trying to maintain balance in their worlds. However, when Lunua was born, there was nothing to be found. Her parents were never seen again, and all of their worlds had seemingly returned to raw wireframe. Lunua was forced to teach herself how to manipulate wireframe, and make her own creations using it. While she eventually got the hang of it, she never quite learned how to *create* wireframe, only manipulate it.

One of Lunua's very first creations was Syrana, and her world of Lunaron. It was a time of peace and love, as Lunua observed the fruits of her labor, a wonderful world filled with kind people, strange creatures, and marvelous adventures. However, Lunua learned that as she create more, the amount of wireframe she had to work with depleted rapidly. Soon she would have no more wireframe to utilize. Thinking of a solution, Lunua realized she could 'recycle' wireframe, by returning it to it's base form just as her parents worlds had become.

This was a fine enough solution, leading to a cycle where Lunua would create, destroy, create, and destroy. However the process of destroying planets became much too taxing, as she could not stomach the thought of ending worlds just so she could feed her need to create. So she used what little wireframe she had left to create Souless, a being with no emotion yet had the power to obliterate planets with ease. This is how the cycle would operate for millenia, a process of Lunua creating, destroying, and creating.

### The Enjoyers

As Lunua continued to venture in her creative pursuits, Souless brought something to her attention. Interlopers from another world have been spotted hiding just behind the dimensional curtain, peering into Lunua's own worlds. Fearing an invasion, Lunua ordered Souless and an army of Wireframe!Luca to accompany her into the Enjoyverse so she could confront their leader.

When Lunua entered the realm the Enjoyers surrendered immediately, being a naturally skittish race. Enjoyers are creatures who enjoy watching other universes as if they were reality TV, always excited to see what twists and turns would occur in people's lives. However, in most universes the Enjoyers are quickly discovered by that realm's gods, and are attacked or banished for their unwelcomed peeping. Lunua's worlds in particular have proven to be some of the most entertaining, garnering her a massive audience of Enjoyers. Their leader, the Enjoylord, explained the history and culture of their people to Lunua, allowing her to understand their purpose in her multiverse. Against Souless's wishes, Lunua welcomed the Enjoyers with open arms, being one of the first deities ever to allow the Enjoyers to continue watching their creations after being discovered.

The Enjoyers rejoiced, this act of kindness and goodwill immediately endearing them to Lunua. From this point onward, the Enjoyers would offer their services to Lunua and aid her in maintaining the safety and balance of her universe. This largely made her workforce of Wireframe!Luca irrelevant, allowing her to allocate their wireframe to making new worlds and characters, resulting in a massive influx of new content for the Enjoyers to enjoy. However, the Enjoyers adoration for Lunua had the unintended side effect of harming Enjoylord's ego, and the ruler would go on to plot against Lunua for the forseeable future.

### Problems with Purgatory

With the massive influx of new worlds, Lunua had to streamline the process of purifying Wireframe so it could be recycled. It had been discovered that recycling the wireframe of characters can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, such as reborn characters being plagued with haunting memories of their past lives. So, in order to purify wireframe, one must remove any emotional baggage or unrequited problems of the character so the wireframe can be safely used for the next character.

So, Lunua would go about creating a realm that would purify the wireframe before sending it back to her to be melded into a new creation. However, it took many tries in order to get a functioning Purgatory.

##### The Lostpital:

Her first Purgatory-like creation was the Lostpital, the setting of the Mental!AU. It was a literal floating hospital, where characters would be sent to receive therapy from medically licensed Enjoyers. While this solution seemed sound, everything went awry when Mental!Poppy was able to harness the psychological chaos present in the Lostpital's patients, before converting them to a noxious gas that induced mental illness. Every tennant of the Lostpital was forced to either flee, or succumb to Mental!Poppy's control.

Attempts to infiltrate the Lostpital were futile, and only resulted in more converted patients. Lunua and Souless were completely incapable of dismantling the Lostpital and saving it's patients, as the risk of either of them going mad would have disastrous effects on the entire multiverse. So the Lostpital remains, as a haunting reminder of Lunua's failings.

##### Winter!Purgatory:

Lunua's next attempts at Purgatory were much closer to the version we know today, however each one had a single flaw that caused it to become unusable.

The most tame of these is Winter!Purgatory, which froze over due to Lunua believing that the cold would speed up the purification process. However this simply ended up causing the entire world to freeze over, both physically and in a metaphysical sense. The world was now completely inaccessible to Lunua and the Enjoyers, as if the world itself was protected by a barrier of ice, with the characters inside now trapped as well. However, despite this the Winter!AU remains as one of the most positive and uplifting AUs there is, with most people getting along and very little conflict. It also allows the Winter!AU to be protected from most present threats in Lunua's multiverse, such as the Infection, SY\_NULL, and Souless herself.

Progress is being made on melting the barrier that keeps Lunua and the Enjoyers from accessing the AU, however it will be a very long time until this process is completed.

##### Purgalgamatory:

Purgalgamatory is near identical to the current day Purgatory, with it's first tennant being Lora. However, some strange anomaly caused Lunua to be unable to send any other characters into the realm for the time. Progress was being made on rectifying this issue and Lunua should of been able to fix the world in due time. However, 'due time' to Lunua and the Enjoyers can sometimes seem like thousands of years to simple wireframe characters. Lora went insane from the isolation, and used the massive stretch of time to endlessly study. She eventually discovered the truth of her world, and even fashioned a machine to travel to other worlds. She began kidnapping characters and experimenting with them, creting horrible monsters known as Amalgamates.

Lunua and the Enjoyers realized this and decided it would be unwise to send anyone to Purgatory with Lora still skulking about. Lunua and Souless can not approach due to Amalgamates having the ability to 'amalgamate' anything they come into contact with. However the Enjoyers are constantly planning on how they themselves can attack the realm, and put a stop to Lora's actions. Once she is destroyed or detained, Lunua can put the Amalgamates out of their misery and return them to raw wireframe to be recycled.

##### Horror!Purgatory:

Horror!Purgatory, just like Purgalgamatory, was near identical to the current day iteration. Obviously wanting to avoid the pitfalls of the previous realm, Lunua made sure that every character sent to Purgatory are now sent in batches, meaning the first tenants of this new Purgatory were Luca, Syrana, Lua, and Lora. Null was also meant to be sent alongside these for a round number of five, however during her death her body was completely destroyed, with neither her bones nor even her soul being left after the fact.

This made it so Null had no physical or spiritual form to take in Purgatory, forcing her to appear as a thick black fog of nothing but pure malice, the same malice she felt during her death. This fog corrupted the landscape and it's tennants. Effects included stopping the 'respawning' of food, and causing buildings and plants to rot to nothing but dirt. Luca went mad and under the fog's influence killed and cannibalized Syrana, before turning their attention to Lua as the two ran into the woods, forever fleeing and chasing one another.

This experience in particular shook Lunua to the core. Due to the Null Fog, she and Souless could not approach due to the fear of being corrupted. This AU in particular is very high on the Enjoyer's list of problems to solve, by request of Lunua herself.

### Purgatory Perfected

Finally, after four failed attempts, the perfect Purgatory was created, being the one we know today. This time however, Purgatory had a failsafe for characters who's bodies and souls were destroyed beyond use, now utilizing matter within Purgatory itself to construct a new body for tenants who needed one. In order to make sure no more unforeseen problems could arise, Lunua created a 'warden' by the name of Vizzy to aid characters in their purification and to make sure that any issues that arose could be brought to attention immediately and taken care of.

Unfortunately, one such issue did arise. Due to this Purgatory's success, now housing a great many lost souls in need of purification, entities outside of Lunua's universe began to sense the weak and vulnerable souls ripe for consumption. They attempted to sneak into Purgatory, however Lunua made sure to take all precautions possible this time around. Purgatory sensed these dark, uninvited guests and smite them where they stood, leaving nothing more than a small puddle of black sludge that was once their body. This continued for years, demonic or eldritch entities from other universes would attempt to consume these frail souls, before immediately being vaporized by Purgatory.

As an extra precaution, Purgatory itself decided to begin storing the souls of it's creatures inside a large tree known as the Evertree, which sprouted in the exact center of Purgatory, meaning any creature wanting to harm the souls would need to traverse it's seemingly endless fields where Purgatory would have much time to prepare a counter attack. It seemed as if everything had truly been perfected, however the black sludge left behind when invaders expired had begun to meld together, eventually forming the Black Sea.

The Black Sea as a collection of all of these smited creatures, all demonic, eldritch, or malicious in some form. These entities combined hatred and malice began to form into independent creatures, that took the form of animals such as crabs or alligators. While Purgatory attacked these creatures as well, they would simply reform from the Black Sea once again. Vizzy took notice of this and sought to destroy this sludge, however as she came into contact with it, it warped her mind and caused her to lose her sanity. Vizzy began attacking the residents of Purgatory herself, with the desire of drawing Lunua or Souless's attention so she could defeat them, and possibly gain their powers. She achieved in garnering Souless's attention, however Souless swiftly overpowered and detained her.

Despite Vizzy's state, she was still bound to Purgatory and could not leave. So while it pained them to do so, Lunua and Souless were forced to trap Vizzy in Purgatory's core until they could devise a way to cure her and get rid of the Black Sea once and for all. For the protection of the multiverse, Lunua and Souless once again had to maintain distance as to not become corrupted themselves.

## Purgatory's End

At this point, the events of Purgatory begin to play out with Luca, Syrana, Null, & Lua begin to be manipulated by Vizzy (who escaped the core of Purgatory through their plumbing system) to lure Souless back so Vizzy can take control of her, however Lunua herself is largely absent curing the entire Purgatory storyline.

During Luca & Co.'s escape, Chaos Vizzy (the form Vizzy takes when consuming Souless) begins to destroy Purgatory as she pursues our heros, causing the entire dimension to implode as they escape, killing Vizzy in the process and completely decommissioning Purgatory. This means souls are no longer sent to Purgatory when they die, meaning wireframe can no longer be purified or recycled.

Souless's absence soon becomes apparent to Lunua, as she and the Enjoyers slowly learn of what occured in Purgatory.

## Last Wish

Lunua is completley absent during the events of the Nitro City storyline, instead being in constant discussions and planning with the Enjoyers as how to move forward.

The next time we actually see her is in Last Wish, where Koro (having somehow survived inside Purgatory) consumes the power of Vizzy and Souless's corpse and uses this new power to confront Lunua herself. Despite the attempts of the Enjoyers to protect her, they are no match for the combined power of Vizzy and Souless. Koro absorbs Lunua and gains complete control over her multiverse, now being reborn as Rewrite.

Lunua remains dormant in Rewrite until the finale of Last Wish, where Luca & Co, alongside many other of Lunua's creations, are able to utilize their combined wireframe, and the love present in each of their beings given unto them by Lunua, allows them to overpower Rewrite and free Souless and Lunua, however Vizzy is seemingly nowhere to be found.

Lunua, while happy to be free and have regained control of her realm, is quick to tell Luca, Syrana, Lua, and Null that their escaping of Purgatory caused all of this to occur, and that they must return so they can be purified and reborn. However, not forgetting their role in saving her universe, she strikes an agreement with them.

Luca, Syrana, Null, and Lua will all be reborn, however no matter where, when, or who they are, in every single life they will find eachother. They will remain friends and family no matter the circumstance, and will eternally always be there, even if they dont remember.

With this, the story of Luca and Co. ends. (or perhaps begins) as for Lunua, she remains the god of her realm and continues the slow process of perfecting her powers.
