I imagined he would be a VERY new arrival.

If he had a real world job, assuming something like gangster or mercenary or cat burglar isn't an option, it would probably be either the head of some surprisingly hardcore charitable foundation, or perhaps a politician.

EDIT: a couple other ideas might be satirist, fence/pawnbroker, public defender, or private detective/bodyguard, or some combination.

No such thing as a very new arrival. Everyone arrived in Lumen five years ago.

It looks much better now. I'll add him to the roster.

Did you want some help finding a more modern image? I've been told before I'm quite good with pictures. Unless you really like that particular image, that's perfectly alright too.

Name: Cerba Hund, otherwise known as Cerberus (or just a hell hound) from Greek Myth

1696251772349.png

Age: 28
Gender: She/Her
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality Points
Reserved, Intense, Kind, Sarcastic, Secretly Excitable

Occupation/Job:
Private Investigator/Bodyguard

Powers
All the Strengths of her True Form (Good Smell, Speed, Strength)
Shadow Camouflage

Talents/Hobbies/Skills:
Writing, Solving Puzzles, Hiking, Crafting

Brief Story:
Before Lumen, Cerba was locked away, shackled to Hades by a leash-like curse that kept her by his side no matter how hard she fought for her escape. She was born to be his guard to the gates of his realm, literally made by his hand, molded for her job. If things had stayed as they were, the rest of her life would have been spent in the dark fighting men, monsters, and loneliness.

But when Lumen was created, something broke. The free will Cerba had always craved for was sitting in her hands and all she had to do was run with it. Too bad she didn't know how to do anything else than what she was born to do. Now, a few years later, she's still a little lost, but at least the chain around her throat is still gone.
 
Is there still room? I just found this and it piqued my interest!
 
More characters from me! Couldn't help myself :3

Gender: Male, he/him
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Personality Points:
Adaptable / Alert / Controlling / Grumpy / Honest / Jealous / Industrious / Loyal / Private / Volatile

Occupation/Job: Does odd jobs for Merlin

Powers:
  • Feral Mind: Can tap into a primal instinctive state of mind, allowing him to take and inflict damage he wouldn't normally be able to take/inflict. This state can be exploited and is dangerous as he risks lose his ability to tell friend from foe. Emotions and desires may induce this state.
  • Wind Generation: Can create a powerful gust of wind with his breath. Cannot blow over solid, secure structures or those strong enough to withstand the gust. Creating a gust of wind is tiring.
  • Shapeshifting: Being a werewolf, he transforms during the full moon and if his emotions get the better of him. He has a potion to help with the latter and a safe space to be contained during the former, courtesy of Merlin. He can shift at will but it's dangerous/risky due to his feral mind so he tries to avoid it.
  • Physical: Enhanced strength and speed. Enhanced senses and bite. Sharp canines and nails. Can speak to animals. Is vulnerable to silver and takes damage normally outside of feral state. Is semi-immortal (doesn't age but can be slain).

Talents/Hobbies/Skills: First Aid / Hunting / Tracking / Bone Carving / Self Defense / Cooking

Brief Story: Kieran was born into a noble family but received none of the luxury. His parents had trouble conceiving so they went to a witch for help. The witch agreed to help but warned that fertility magic required sacrifice and that certain ingredients in the fertility potion could affect their child. His parents promised they understood the witch's warnings and they were given a fertility potion made with wolf milk since they wanted a strong son. Nine months later, his mother gave birth to Kieran and died shortly after. His father was left to mourn his wife and care for a beastly child that acted more like a wolf pup than a baby boy. Horrified by the condition of his son, Kieran's father begged the witch to take him away but she refused, telling his father that he would have to accept Kieran for who he is.

He didn't. Instead, Kieran was taken care of by a nursemaid until he became too wild to control. It was then that his father locked him away in the cellar, keeping him there while he remarried and had two normal children with his new wife, showering them all in love. Kieran's desperation for love caused him to act out and he received harsh punishment for it which eventually turned his heart cold and left him angry at the world. Eventually, he escaped from the cellar and ran away. As time passed the coldness in his heart grew, jealousy and rage accompanying it as he witnessed other having the things he wanted most. He began to terrorize people which gave him the title of 'Big Bad Wolf'.

His reign of terror was put to an end when he got transported to Lumen by Merlin. He was surprised that he'd been included in those who were saved, feeling that he didn't deserve such a thing after all the bad things he'd done. Having realized the error of his ways, Kieran has taken the five years in Lumen to try to turn over a new leaf. He works for Merlin, doing odd jobs for him out of gratefulness and loyalty.

IMG_9832.jpeg

Appears: 23
Gender: Female, she/her
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality Points:
Charming / Confident / Easygoing / Flirtatious / Friendly / Mischievous / Loyal / Nature-focused / Persuasive / Sensual

Occupation/Job: Shepherdess

Powers:
  • Hallucinogenic Anatomy: Saliva is laced with a hallucinogen which induces sensory effects. Induces pleasure or pain (when used in self defense), acts as an aphrodisiac on receptive subjects, and has a calming effect on others. Bites are more potent than kisses. Requires physical contact.
  • Siren Song: She has an astonishingly beautiful and enchanting singing voice that is capable of luring anyone who hears it to come towards her. This can be resisted, especially if someone has strong willpower but it's harder to resist when she's intending to lure someone. Without the intention, the lure can be easily ignored.
  • Invisibility: Being one of the "hidden folk" she can become invisible at any time. Usually used to make an escape or when being playful. Doing so requires energy and her presence can be given away by other factors, such as scent or being covered with something.
  • Physical: Enhanced strength and agility. Enhanced senses and durability. Sharp canines and nails. Can store things in her hollow (back). Is semi-immortal (doesn't age but can be slain).

Talents/Hobbies/Skills: Singing / Dancing / Wool Yarn Making / Yarn Spinning / Weaving / Knitting

Brief Story: One day, a lovely young maiden appeared outside of a small village. No one knew where she came from or where she lived but most didn't care. She had an enchanting aura that drew people in. She made a lot of friends in the village with some catching her eye more than others. In the middle of the night, those people would hear sweet, seductive singing and were lured out into the forest only to return in the morning disoriented but satisfied. Although their memory of what had occured during the night was rather fuzzy, they did recall consenting of their own free will to spend the night with the beautiful maiden.

Eventually, the maiden's attention towards a certain few made others jealous. They wanted what those people had but their attempts to entice her had failed. As time went on, their jealousy turned to rage and they decided to take what they wanted. The next time someone got lured out to the forest, they followed them and found the maiden in her underground dwelling. Their intrusion was not appreciated nor were their bad intentions. The next morning, the jealous men returned to the village, each one bearing a vicious bite mark and looking scared for their lives. They refused to speak of what had happened and never bothered anyone again.

After that night the maiden was never seen in the village again though her lovers swore that she was still alive and well. Their nighttime rendezvous continued until each lover had gotten too old to continue. When the last of her lovers died no one knew what happened to the maiden. As it turns out, not long after her last lover passed she got transported to a new place known as Lumen. With the chance to start over the maiden spent the first five years there establishing herself as a shepherdess that sells wool products in the colder months.

Do we still need more villains? I'm thinking of doing Dawn (a hero) from a Russian fairytale called Dawn, Midnight, and Twilight, but I'm also currently searching for another fairytale or mythical creature so I'm down to play a villain as well.

I said I'd have everything checked by Wednesday at the latest. I've been really busy taking care of my mom as she deals with the after effects of chemotherapy.
