Luminala "Lana" Voidforged

"All we have is hope. And trust. And kindness, and happiness...okay, we have a lot of good things. But they're the only things we have together."

## Background

### General

Luminala "Lana" Voidforged is an adult, female Vessel currently living in Xenosia with her family. She is a single mother to 4 children (said children being Gold Voidforged, Arctic Voidforged, Lumr Voidforged, and Valtia Voidforged) and deadly knife & spear fighter. A vessel who almost died in the abyss, but held on for just long enough to be brought back to full health by The Smiler before his reign ended. Silver's lover, before she disappeared.

### Appearance

Lana is about 5'1"(In human height). She wears a green cloak with fluffy lime highlights. Has two pincer-like horns and some side spikes, and also has a crack on the left side of her face. After the [POISON FAREWELL] Arc, Lana gained a bandage around her eyes due to irreversible damage, causing blindness. She also gained a bandage on one of her horns and a leaf growing from the wound she gained, poking thru the bandage. (The leaf was likely caused due to the poison inflicted in the cut, growing deep within her horn.)

### Abilities, Weapons & Weaknesses

Lana has no major abilities aside from her fox shade shifting, but she has gotten rusty and bad at doing it with time. She primarily uses a long and sharp flared spear that she keeps on her back, and has at least 3 throwing knives in her coat at all times. Lana also can go into a blind rage, ignoring wounds for a good while and being able to attack in a relentless frenzy. Will usually collapse in exhaustion afterwards, however. Her two main weaknesses are the love for her children and compassion for others, causing her to put herself in harm's way to protect them. The second weakness is the fact that when angry, (which she gets angry quickly) she will make incredibly rash decisions without any forethought, usually ending in situations with which she does NOT have a backup for.

### Lore

(I'm aware this lore section is a bit crude right now - I'm working on formatting it into a more presentable version, In Lana's POV obviously. If anyone would like to help, send me a dm on discord @ OkSoBasically#9505, Thanks!)

(Also, This lore was documented by u/Insanity\_go\_brrr. Credit to them!)

#### Rapi Arc

So, it starts off with the family just chilling out, Lana’s gonna go out and look for Silver, and Lumr is like ‘Wait, what the hell? Why are you trusting me with three other kids?!’ and Arctic steps in and is like ‘Why don’t we go with you?’ and then Lana’s like just ‘No, it’s too dangerous, somebody could die-’ and Lumr cuts in and says ‘Well, I did a lot of illegal stuff, and I can do some cool stuff as well, and either way we’d be leaving Gold and Valtia in charge of looking after a house.’ Basically, they just called the two little babies ‘irresponsible’.

Gold takes this as a personal offense and gets all mad or whatever, and eventually the family leaves the house towards the Ancient Basin. Oh, and one thing I should point out is that Lumr said, quote unquote, ‘We’ve technically tasked two of Hallownest’s most irresponsible children with looking after a house.’ This is Xenosia dumbass. (I actually didn’t know it was Xenosia at the time, but I still like making jokes about it to myself)

So, the FIVE vessels go to the Ancient Basin, and they all get separated. Valtia soon meets an adult vessel named Rapi, (roll credits) who is like ‘I know damn well you’re a kid, but the place where you live sucks. Also, the leader of Xenosia sucks even more.’ (Note that this was before Nover’s death, so a good bit of time ago, just to give an idea on how far back this event happened) and Rapi just keeps talking like just ‘Why the fuck do you have so many cracks on your face?’ Like, bro, it’s just one crack going down their face.

Eventually Rapi is like ‘Hey there’s some vessel in a green cloak coming this way, do you know them?’ And Valtia’s like ‘Oh yeah, that’s Lumr, hi Lumr!’ and that just pisses Rapi off, mainly for the fact that they (Rapi) could ‘sense’ soul magic or something, I don’t really know, but they get mad, do something, but I don’t really remember what, but it wasn’t really important, but soon after getting Valtia and Lumr back together, (GODS that sounded so illegal, their relationship is platonic, I swear to Unn-also Unn is just fucking dead now) Rapi and Valtia get into a fight, which Valtia gives up pretty fast, and Rapi’s like ‘Cool, you aren’t a dumbass.’

While all this ‘normal stuff’ was happening, Lana managed to find Gold and Arctic and proceeds to nearly die from Rapi as she says yeet and chucks multiple daggers at them. When the two fight, (not traumatizing the slightest for three little kids in which Blue said specifically, WOULD ALL BE AROUND THE AGE OF SEVEN) they quickly get to some kind of anime battle where when the victor sheathes their weapon (usually a sword) the one who loses falls to the ground. Guess who nearly died. Yep, Lana.

Lumr gets mad, tries to attack Rapi, also nearly dies. So the family goes home, somehow, with the fact that the tallest and more than likely STRONGEST ones are pretty much dead. I know Lana was barely conscious, and Lumr was unconscious, but I still like describing it that way for reasons unknown to even myself.

So, now it gets slightly more interesting. Remember Valor? Of course you probably do, he was mentioned like, less than a page ago. He tried to get a message to Lumr about something, but instead Arctic got it. I don’t actually know why. Great planning, I know. But basically Valor and Arctic are just talking about Valor’s death, then something about Lumr, think it concerned them being with the Soul Sanctum or something, eh, doesn’t matter.

Valor then begins to talk about Valtia’s face cracking problem, where basically they get really stressed/scared/whatever and their face starts cracking. Now imagine that in real life-

Arctic asks if Valor’s corpse will still be there in Greypath, which for FOUR. EFFING YEARS has just been like ‘Hi. Nobody’s messed with my corpse.’ So Arctic wakes up, and asks Valtia if Lumr’s awake, which they are. Valtia and Lumr have a two sentence shouting match from across the house (even though Valtia/Lumr’s room is like, six feet away from Arctic’s) if anybody can go in the room they shared for a bit. Lumr says sure, and just to shut up. Great thing to say to a seven year old.

So Arctic and Lumr talk about what Valor told him, and for some reason they’re whispering. I don’t actually know why. But the two decide to sneak out of the house, and try and go to Greypath to retrieve Valor’s body.

Basically the thought process behind doing so is that the reason why Valtia’s shell cracking problem started was because of guilt, since they were infected once, (obviously) and they got into a fight with Lumr. Lumr cast a spell that missed Valtia and hit Valor instead. Rest in peace man, rest in peace.

The two (Arctic and Lumr) eventually make it to the Hornet Protector arena, where Valor’s corpse is. Arctic managed to grab Lana’s claw thingy, which had a dream nail embedded in it. The dream claw is important because without a dream weapon, you can’t see spirits.

There were also a bunch of knives and shit, and a couple feet away from Valor’s corpse is a pair of scissors. Now, something I probably should have clarified by now, Rapi fights with scissors, and when Lumr saw the scissors not following the social distancing regulations with their dad, they’re like ‘excuse me, the fuck?’

Arctic is all like ‘...Just grab the body and let’s get the hell outta here.’ So Lumr goes to pick up Valor’s body, and it gets knocked out of their hands by none other than, you guessed it, Ganondorf-

No I’m just kidding, Rapi.

Rapi is all like ‘I need that corpse for info and shit, so just back off.’ This makes Lumr really pissed, and they’re like ‘Hey, I knew him, what the hell?!’ So the two (Rapi and Lumr) just duke it out with swords-

Nails, and Arctic gets a knife thrown at him, which somehow his cloak, which only goes down to his side, gets caught by the blade of the knife and pins him to the ground. What. The fuck.

Lumr is like ‘Okay, get yourself unstuck from the ground or whatever, just don’t interfere with the fight-’ and they try and get the knife out three seconds later. Then Rapi attacks them, destroys one of their soul nails, (Lumr fights with dual nails) Lumr lengthens the other, that gets destroyed, Lumr gets pissed, again, and then Rapi just opens their scissors and pins Lumr to the ground. Arctic decides to ignore Lumr about interfering, and just straight up STABS Rapi in the chest.

Rapi is all like ‘FUUUUUUU-’ and Lumr just goes full questioning mode right then and there.

So, it turns out that Rapi was planning on using a dream dagger to get whatever info they wanted, not really sure why, but okay. So Lumr takes the dream dagger and just gives Rapi bandages. Like, dude, did you NOT see them get stabbed a few seconds ago?! In the fucking HEART?! Lumr even said something along the lines of ‘I think that was some vital organ that got punctured, but it’s worth a shot with the bandages.’ BROOO, WHAT THE FUCK-

So Rapi is like ‘Okay thanks for saving my life.’ And just leaves.

* Beats up two kids, one of which twice
* Nearly kills a mom
* Tries to take a body
* Refuses to elaborate further
* Leaves

Damn.

So Lumr just drags a corpse from Greypath all the way to Xenosia. What-(thinking of Xenosia sometimes makes me wonder what happened to Armattia. Like, is it still standing, or what? Edit, its standing.)

When Arctic and Lumr get back to the house, Gold is peacefully asleep on the couch after ‘crying his heart out because he thought Arctic and Lumr had gotten kidnapped’ as Lana puts it, and Valtia is upstairs on their bed, and Lana then turns on a lamp back downstairs, Then she just starts yelling them both, and Valtia just comes down with half of their face snapped off, god, the image that line just put in my head, what in the name of hylia…

And then Valtia is like just ‘Hey is that dad?’ and then Lumr is like ‘yeah.’ And then they just put Valor’s body outside or something?! I don’t know. But Valtia and Valor have some cringey little talk which is NOT going to give me mental pain when drawing it, and then Valor gets buried in the backyard. The end.

#### Symbiote Arc

Next arc! This one introduces a vessel (oh my fucking god, why are there so many vessels-) named Symbiote. She was the one who tried to get Valor into the troupe, but basically what happens is she yeets fire at Lana, say something like ‘Fuck I missed.’ and leaves. Then she just kidnaps Lumr, tries to get them to join the troupe, Lana beats the shit out of her, but not before Symbiote is able to surround Arctic in fire. It somehow just…disappears? I guess? I don’t really know. Gold also says yeet and flings himself forward to try and protect either Arctic or Lumr from getting hit with fire, and suddenly he isn’t able to use his legs anymore until a later arc? Anyways, Arctic kills Symbiote and she's fuckin dead.

I don’t know. Later some other adult vessel just comes by, (his name is Drytion) and he also had basically no lore at the time, and he still doesn’t! Basically he and Lana start talking about her kids or whatever, and then Rapi appears, and is like ‘Hey Lana did you seriously kidnap the one person I sent to make sure you were a good person?’ And Drytion is like ‘n o.’ So Rapi and Drytion leave. End of arc. Yeah, no. It was one of the shorter ones.

#### Accel Arc

Introduces Accel. I think we’re all getting the idea of these, so let’s move on with the WTF IS THIS kind of bullshit.

So, it starts off pretty normal, Valtia and Gold are climbing the vine, etc etc etc…and then Lana just \*poof\* gone. Then a few minutes later Gold also leaves the chat. Turns out some vessel named Accel just took them both hostage for info on Rapi. When asked about this by Lumr, Accel responds with something like ‘Oh, yeah, I threatened it outta some vessel. Think his name was Drytion?’ Rest in peace my boy. Rest in peace.

So something happens, where I think Accel just decides to leave or something, I don’t remember, so Lana and Gold get freed, and Rapi shows up a bit later, apologizing for their sibling’s behavior. Mate, get that fucker on a leash. But then Rapi leaves, and then the family goes to sleep.

Next morning Lumr goes outside, and it turns out; OH BOY, this really is a HK RP, ain’t it? More sibling battles! Yaaaaayy-

But then Rapi loses, and then Accel and Lumr get into a fight, and Accel is all like just ‘Hey, a lot of people would love to get revenge on a Soul Sanctum member! You would pay for a lot!’ And Lumr is like ‘Wait what the fuck how do you know that?’ Turns out Accel didn’t have an answer and the two just keep fighting until something happens, think Arctic and Rapi show up again, and then some fancy shit happens, I don’t really remember.

So then that basically wraps it up, some more stuff happened, but I don’t remember and it wasn’t really all that important or anything.

#### Nuilito Arc

Nosky boi!

Some random vessel (ANOTHER. FUCKING. VESSEL-) kinda just nearly dies as he slams on the door for help, since he bleeding like hella bad, and then he gets some band-aids, aaaaaand he’s fine. The vessel introduces himself as Nuiltio, and whenever somebody has the same name as the arc, you know they’re gonna be bad.

So, Nuiltio goes downstairs at night, and Arctic engages in conversation with him. Nuilitio reveals that he is an adventurer of sorts, and that his next location after he leaves the house is Deepnest. (Wow what a great amount of foreshadowing). Arctic offers him a drink but Nuilitio declines and Arctic heads back to bed.

Nuilitio walks around and sizes up each member of the house to eat because he's actually a nosk. He calls V short before taking Gold (who is shorter than V???) And prepares to leave, but his plan is foiled by Arctic being a good person and asking if Nuilitio is okay. Nuilitio fuckin slams Arctic against the wall like he's playing super Smash brothers and jumps out the window, taking Gold with him.

So, Arctic is like ‘Hey let’s go to Deepnest’ and so that’s what the other smash contestants do at night. And they go from Xenosia to the other side of Hallownest. In one fucking night. How. (Stag stations???)

But anyways Nuiltio just has Gold tied up from the ceiling, and he’s just vibin to some good music, and then Valtia shows up like ‘WASSUP, FUCKERS?!’

And Nuiltio proceeds to go all ‘Why do you have my phone’, but V got too excited to say ‘FUCK YOU THAT’S WHY!’, and just starts the assault. Eventually Nuiltio turns into his nosky form because for some reason he likes being a vessel, and soon after he gets trapped by some silk after Arctic stole the web cartridges from Accel's spider-man looking ahh grapple hook. Then from nowhere the chad Drytion shows up and slices Nuilitio up like a goddamn chef due to the nosk being stuck to the ground.

Drytion is like just ‘Hey, how’s it going-’ and immediately gets cut off as Lana proceeds to jump down and stab an already dead thing. Rip.

So Drytion leads the family towards the hot springs, because that’s where Lumr supposedly is. Lumr is indeed there, with a giant ass pile of corpses, and they’re just sitting there in the spring, like they’ve seen stuff they shouldn’t have. Lumr has Nam flashbacks confirmed? I mean, Valor HAS canonically been to the backrooms through a dream once, just spawns into level !, yeah. Don’t worry though, he made it out.

Then some other (guess the species!) vessel shows up, and her name is Thalia. Drytion and Thalia are kinda just roommates, and they go to the house with the rest of the family. Oh, and also earlier Valtia was using some grass as a lantern. Later Thalia be like ‘Hey who wants to make grass baskets or some shit?’ and now we have some paper weights! That pretty much sums up this whole arc.

#### Husk Valtia Arc

So, Arctic is just sitting down outside, just vibin, and Valtia shows up, and they sit down next to Arctic. They kinda just chat, then Valtia leaves to ‘do something’, in which they run away to Greypath in which the family finds them, just, LITERALLY a husk. I can’t believe it’s not lifeblood! (Yo, cheers if you get it. You should.)

I don’t remember what happens after that exactly, but I think Lumr and Arctic find Valtia there, and get a disapproving nod from some vessel who looks suspiciously like the pure vessel, and they just leave. Later the family (beside Valtia) are looking for the baby husk that has TOTALLY not committed patricide, and it turns out Lana was really a nosk. And then the real one shows up, and Lumr (luckily) kills the nosk, no problem. After that, they split up, and Lumr finds a place in Greypath that ISN’T burnt down to the ground, and Valtia is just vibing in a fucking aspid herding cage.

There’s also a hut there, along with a vessel, who we later learn is name’s Pallidae. So Lumr just gives Valtia a concussion, like, seriously, how does getting hit in the head with a stick NOT count as one? Lumr basically injects some lifeblood into Valtia, and they meet up with the rest of the family and go home. The end. Not really.

#### R&R ARC

Okay, so for context the R&R stands for rest and relaxation, which is DEFINITELY something that the family needs, considering the next arc, which is also the longest so far, and will probably stay that way for a good bit.

So it starts off with the family agreeing to meet up with Pallidae and chill out with them for a bit, and so that’s what they do. Once they arrive, Lumr and Pallidae get into a sparring match, and Lumr nearly fucking collapses afterwards, just because of being tired from using so many spells and not enough soul to cast them. Rip.

So they kinda just chill out for a while, and Pallidae gives Valtia some fruits which are basically purple guy’s impression of a tomato, and then the family leaves to go back home. They exist in the crossroads for a bit before settling down in a cave to stay the night, until a nosk and a mantis spirit poof into existence.

The mantis’s name is Avarice, and she calls Valtia and Gold cute. Not sure how basically a little demon with a huge ass nail is ‘cute’, but I’ll take it. Also the nosk’s name is Ira. Yes.

Lumr and Lana just have a casual emotional talk, and everybody starts hugging, eulgh, writing this makes me want to puke, no cap.

Then the family goes home and starts vibing.

#### POISON FAREWELL Arc

this one’s super fucked, but basically the family decides to visit Pallidae again, and they start talking about being cold, and Arctic is like just ‘nah, it gud’. And Gold is like ‘yeah, it’s in your name!’

Gold.

Gold Gold Gold Gold GOLD. It IS his name. Also that means the arctic exists in Xenosia/Hallownest/wherever the fuck it is. Guess it makes sense in a way though. I’ve heard that Xenosia is supposed to be like America.

Welcome to America. \*cocks gun\*

Anyways, they enter this tunnel or something and it gets dark, and they start talking about sleep or something, and Valtia is like ‘ow something just hit me in the head’, which ha.

So, they arrive at Pallidae’s house, which they’re gone. Good timing. Very good.

So, they all just wait, and Valtia wants to look around and explore, and takes Gold with them on their shoulders because he is yet to heal.

Valtia starts feeling not too great, and puts their little brother down before collapsing.This, naturally, freaks the shit outta Gold and he starts screaming, before Lumr gets up from the grass at Pallidae’s hut and goes towards the direction and picks up the two immobile little children. They take Gold and Valtia back to the hut, and Valtia hasn’t moved once since going plop right into the ground. Lana freaks out as well, and starts getting desperate, and is like ‘use lifeblood’, which has no effect because the baby is deceased. Then, sad mom is like ‘who could have done this?’ and some ant just appears and they’re like ‘me’. Now, the only one who knew this ant’s name was Lana, who even then didn’t learn until the end of a fight that would ensue a few minutes later. But, imma just call the ant Frewst because

1. That is their name, and
2. It won’t seem as repetitive and annoying

But anyways Lana is like ‘W H Y?!’ and starts attacking Frewst, but not before Accel shows up alongside Frewst, and is like ‘Don’t kill them, just rob ‘em!’ And they, and Lumr get into a fight. First, that fight, then Lana and Frewst’s battle.

(TO BE COMPLETED SOON)
