Lunara Cipher

The Twisted Researcher, Picture by @Flambrax

## Summary

Lunara Cipher is a Flarinese Darkfur Rabbit Mumin born and raised in the region of The Dew Prefecture that would become the center of the modern-day Twisted - Masquerade Town of The Kaleidoscope Forest. As of July 1922, she became an ally of The Renegades and the second Nature's Wrath member they encountered. Lunara mainly wears dark colors with a yellow (and occasionally) blue accent. Currently, she wears a dark gray lab coat - the same color as her gunmetal ear piercings - over a oversized yellow tee shirt. Below she only has a pair of blackened stirrup leggings with obvious signs of stitching and battle damage. Her fur coat is thick with a deep purple color with a lavender color on her nose and inner ears; her hair is a soft green color, fairly long and wildly kept. Across her body are various tattoos and occult markings of a currently unknown origin. Her main concern is not with combat but rather researching various entities and their complete inner workings. Her passion for specially the sciences of **Souls, Majil, and Psychology** have existed with her since the very beginning ***(it just so happens my research usually requires dead subjects... THAT'S NOT MY FAULT... TECHNICALLY).*** As for her personality, she's extremely stand-offish and downright malicious to people she's not familiar with. Even with those who call her family, an aura of sarcasm and mischief can be felt at all times. However, it's not odd to see her take on a highly pompous and borderline cocky demenor, along with the rare emotional and vulnerable side which has only been truly seen by her closest allies, such as Abigail or Aster.

When in combat, however, Lunara prefers to be up-close and personal, taunting the opponent and using psychological warfare to render the target immobile, incompetent, or otherwise a detriment on the field of battle. Her favorite weapons and skills are **Epsilon** - her artificial assistant and multi-tool that can be used to reflect projectiles, **The Twin Python** - a high caliber handgun that belonged to her late father, and **Prelude to Nightmares** - a spell using the Nohscruté Arcana, specifically created and mastered by Lunara herself. After meeting Vasel Ein and Katsuo Maekawa outside the ruins of the Royal Astral Gateway, and swiftly meeting the rest of the group afterwards, she joined them for the whole of the first Crimson Nightfall. However, memories from last cycles, the influence of Coralite in her system, and her prediction of D.Dell's attack led to a self-destructive plot to allow herself to be consumed by the madness of Coralite, in order to be able to use Rah'Shied as bait while guaranteeing his survival and boost her power exponentially to protect The Renegades - **if necessary.** This led to her fully losing herself to lunacy, promoting a standoff between her and The Renegades who ultimately sided with The Masquerade Enchantress, a target of the mad scientists infernal wrath. In the aftermath, the guilt of putting The Renegades in that situation consumed her, and she was exiled from Nature's Wrath for a short while - banding with Slugs for a week or-so to steal a *"regional treasure"* of Saikoro. Only several months later in October of 1922 has she started to recover the relationship properly, abandoning her fully uncaring and spiteful persona for her usual mostly uncaring and spiteful, negative true self. ***(...Abigail the hell is that supposed to mean?!)***

## Backstory

Over 1000 years ago, deep in the fallen 5th region of Flarin - a Mumin child would be born; the first half of the final generation of the infamous Cipher line. Being the only Mumin bloodline never to lay with anyone outside their race, they we're known to be the family with the highest potential for power throughout Mumin kind. Her mother was the leader of Masquerade Town and the smartest soul in the whole of the Faeyarli Region, her father was an expert gunman and leader of the Masquerade Militia, and Lunara was no exception; showing a genuine love for all things scientific; magical science or otherwise. She loved her people and was a joy-filled, positive member of the leading family who cared for all, even the wrongdoers to their community. However, everything shattered and fell apart In a singular night known only as **Midnight Masquerade.** Amechian forces along side The Overlord himself came feigning a peaceful conversation about the integration of Amechian Tech into Masquerade Town's everyday lives to Lunara, who at this point took the lead over the town and the church just as her mother did before her. They escorted Lunara miles away from the town for the "conversation", and with their powerful leader to protect them...**the massacre began.** The specific details are unclear as the records of the event were mostly destroyed by the **Elden Flarinese Goverment**, but even with the help of Lunara after she made it back to town, less than 5% of the population survived. Included in the deaths, Lunara's very own **sister** and **father** were obliterated, one shot with his own gun and the other eradicated via firing squad. After that...nobody really knows what happened: pretty much just Lunara herself.../ERROR/ERROR.CODE.NO.31.926/SPECIFICATION-UNKNOWN/MANUAL.RESEARCH.MANDATORY.AUTO.LINK.FAILURE
