#Asya Branch

[natalieina]

Moon princess

She is the princess of moonlight, the daughter of cold winds and frozen dreams. Her winter abode is an abandoned greenhouse filled with the light of antique lamps, fir branches and fragments of childhood dreams hidden in the depths of mirrors... But winter is coming to an end, the line between the ice and the lake surface is blurred. Instead of frosty patterns, tears of rain appear on the glass... And soon she will leave her abode again until next Winter. But now she is dancing in the uneven light of the evening, surrounded by a lace of mist, evoking sleep and touching the silence of this greenhouse of dreams.

Model - Asya.

Crown - Cotee.za.

Costume - Narnia Dress.

What’s your favorite language family?!

(A language family is a group of related languages that descend from a common ancestor.)

Here’s a list of language families if you need it:

My favorite is probably Dene!

That southern branch was like “F**k this, it’s cold! We’re headed south! ☀️😎”

If you’d like to learn more about the world’s languages, here’s a great introductory textbook that introduces you to both the world’s languages and the basics of linguistics at the same time:

Transpunk AU: Lady Eros of the Elysium Club / Hedonis of Night City

**MATURE WARNING: Mentions of sexual themes, drug cartels, mafia shenanigans.**

Taking place in the Cyberpunk 2077 world, Night City now serves as the battleground between the two branches of the biggest megacorporations in the world: Autobots Corporation (Autobot Co.), a military vehicle and weapons production branch of Militech, and Decepticon Cyberware Security (Cyber-Cons),a militaristic cyberware and Netrunner service branch of Arasaka.

Far below their constant war within the Corpo world, survival on the streets of Night City comes in the form of invisibility, crime or gang wars. Here, you’re either a nobody just trying to survive the constant poverty that plagues the city… or you’re somebody with a gun and a plan. Edgerunners and gang leaders are the wealthiest of the lower classes, wealthy enough to be noticed by the many Corporations high above them in their towers and skyscrapers. Therefore, if you’re a denizen of Night City and you wish to live a better life… Your best option is to “chrome up” with some cybernetics, grab a gun, and make your name known across Night City.

Asya Mutheru: Mafia Don, Pop Idol and the Mistress of Ardor

Also known as:

(Publicly) Lady Eros, Don of the Eidolon Ghosts mafia

(Singer persona) Hedonis

Creator of the Aphrodite’s Touch hormonal pills, a.k.a; the Red and Blue A.T drugs

(Voice Claim/Music Style as Hedonis: https://youtu.be/onzf3dyYGRI?t=30 )

Appearance:

Has “chromed” legs that change between high heeled, mid-thigh high boots of shiny silver, to feline digitigrade legs with soft, padded paws bearing lethal claws, her main tool for her work as a Mafia Don out on the field. *

Her eyes are also cyberware, due to their unnaturally bright icy blue irises with a hint of inner rings of gold that glow in dim light and almost like neon in complete darkness, when she activates them. When they’re not used for their intimidation factor, they allow her to zoom in on things that are far away in finite detail, see through walls using heat-detection, and allow her to see in complete darkness. *

Usually has her hair in long dreadlocks with silver-striped golden rings decorating them. Other times, when she wishes to relax her hair, she’ll tie her natural wavy afro into a low ponytail, which can reach over her shoulders in length and is very poofy and volumed in its natural state. *

On a casual day or when she is performing her duties as Lady Eros, she usually wears a dark grey, turtleneck halter crop-top with a low, and very revealing, rectangular shaped cleavage-window bearing strings criss-crossing to form little heart shapes within it (reminiscent of stained glass windows), matched with an orange mini-skirt or bootcut formal pants. *

When on stage or performing somewhere as Hedonis, she wears a sleeveless mini dress made of transparent and skin-tone coloured chiffon, with white and orange glow-in-the-dark rhinestones covering the majority of her body. It leaves nothing to the imagination, but the rhinestones in rose and vine shaped patterns cover only what needs to be hidden and displays only what is risky enough to let the eyes wander, mainly to her chest and back. Her hair and face are also painted in orange streaks to match with her outfit and to hide her identity.

Personality: Asya is generally very charismatic, flirty in a very direct and hands on way, and loves to act sensual when on stage and showing off her skills and beauty. If she can be the centre of attention and be allowed to show off, she’ll be there without hesitation. And while she’s very vain and fond of her looks, she’s also kind and proud of her empire and to those who have earned the right to be called her allies. But for those she does not yet trust… They’ll be considered her toys or drug mules in the making~

When she’s working as the Lady Don of the Eidolon Ghosts mafia, she’s usually stern and focused on her work, but still savours the chance to make her prisoners break and using more enjoyable forms of torture to get the answers out of them, or to press them into becoming her loyal workers. She always has a way of getting rid of loose ends, to make sure nothing is traced back to her. And when it comes to blackmail, interrogation and torture… None dare to grow curious into her methods. But her strength lies not just in her power as a Don… but it stems from her most loyal acolytes in the mafia, the backbone and shield of her empire…

The Cerberus Guards. Through her most powerful and undyingly faithful lap dogs, she controls everything that goes on in her empire and mafia. These loyal soldiers consist mostly in the form of cyborgs and men with strength-boosting cyberware, all of whom wear wire muzzles and collars as a test to break their egos, before it becomes their symbol of their loyalty and dedication to protecting their Lady Don and those within her empire. None are the closest to Asya than her faithful Cerberus, who in turn are rewarded with cyberware, housing, high income and being the only ones seen within her office or who can accompany her in her daytime job. The Cerberus Guards are the only ones seen in public and as a representation of the Eidolon Ghosts, who in turn are tasked in protecting the great singer “as an olive branch from the Lady herself, to show that not all mafias desire destruction”, all to hide her true identity as being the same person.

And luckily, her night life is well hidden not just under her club... but in a more secure backup location that serves as the true heart of her empire... the Olympian Underground. Not a single soul has ever been able to find it so far, as no one but Asya herself, her Cerberus Guards or one of her Cerberus chauffeurs have access to it, where right after their minds and every form of GPS in the car and phone techs will be wiped of the last hour to ensure they never remember where it is, even if they merely stop far on the outskirts of its actual location...... Not even her most faithful Ripperdocs, Elbent or KO, know about it.

As Hedonis, she’s publicly seen as nothing more than a celebrity prostitute, but instead of feeling the pressure of the public trying to put her down and humiliate her, she thrives off of that kind of hate out of pure spite to feed her ego. The more negative comments she gets, the more fuel it adds to the fire of her passion for her work. There’s no greater feeling to her than the thrill of making a music video that pushes at the boundaries of comfort, that shows a deep message under the guise of it being merely “about sex and drugs”, when a more observant eye can spot the meaning beneath the Eros and glamour. When out and about, her Cerberus Guards pay her no mind while serving their duty as bodyguards to the singer… allowing her to playfully touch, nuzzle or mock them to show how little they care about her. But behind closed doors, she always shows how thankful she is to them and their perfect performance~

Under the mask of the sensual leader and performer, however.... she's deeply afraid that one day she will be hunted down by an Edgerunner, who will come to bring her empire crashing down, find her sanctuary, and kill everyone under her protection... when all she dreamed and hoped to achieve was to merely provide a safe haven for those like her or those who needed her.

Description:

Sex, drugs and music fuel Asya’s career and life, where at night she works as both a stage performer within her own night club, Elysium, and as the leader of the Eidolon Ghosts mafia that protect it and the area of Night City that surrounds the club.

Only those closest to her and who work with her intimately in the heart of her business know her real name. For beyond the walls of her night-bound fortress, she is known only as the pop idol Hedonis, one of the few singers able to avoid the paparazzi due to her well organized and massive amount of security personnel who also guard the underbelly of her fortress, known only as the Cerberus Guards… Which works in her favour, as she uses her stardom to find her most loyal fans or merely those who are desperate enough to be her silenced couriers, mules and lackeys (silenced due to the blackmail of a timed virus bomb in their cyberware, which will go off and kill them if they do not obey the singer and finish the task on time) and deliver her most precious gift alongside the most skilled members of the Eidolon Ghosts throughout Night City…

Aphrodite’s Touch, or the Touch of the Goddess… Otherwise known by its street name, Red and Blue A.T’s.

Her medicinal drugs are known to be the only form of affordable gender affirming care, with the safer and more well known option being only available to those with the wealth of a Corpo. But with Asya’s pill version of HRT, even those barely able to afford their rent can gain their male (Blue A.T’s) or female (Red A.T’s) hormones and not risk losing their physical energy or libido as a result of the gradual and welcomed change. However… the risk comes from this lack of loss in their energy, as instead it boosts the libido of the drug taker, which Asya profits from through her club’s surface level underground business… Elysium’s brothel. THIS is how Asya gains the other half of her vast income, and why no one has yet to be able to take down her empire, due to it being an intoxicating escapism obsession for the lowest class of Night City… the only way a person can truly find joy and safety in such a society.

This drug, that even Asya takes to aid in her transition into a woman and with the energy needed for her music career, alongside her famous brothel, are the reasons why Asya is known to the public as Lady Eros.

Her closest allies are as follows:

Dr. Elbent - Former Trauma Team International paramedic, turned Ripperdoc for the Eidolon Ghosts, protected ward of Lady Eros

Dr. KO (Knockout) - Lady Eros's personal Ripperdoc

Vernie (Verglaust) - Cyborg experiment and former soldier of Militech rescued by Elbent, joined the Eidolon Ghosts and became Asya's personal guard/Cerberus lap dog.

Breaker (Breakdown) - Head of Security, the Big Brother eye on every single Cerberus and their whereabouts... alongside their immediate disposal at the first sign of disobedience or possible betrayal. Spares no expense or a single chance at someone possibly betraying them.

If it’d been with the right audience, Asya’s joke would have landed. But it was Mercy she was talking to, and he was already trying to push her as far away as possible. All it’d granted her was an eye roll, a refusal to acknowledge that they even had a past, as minor as it was. “Didn’t know you worked here.” It was barely an olive branch - in his own mind, it was Mercy’s way of telling her that he’d never be caught dead here if he knew there was a chance they’d bump into each other. But verbalizing that meant expressing something he wasn’t willing to share with her. “No, I don’t need it.” Despite the fact that his eye was already swelling, a nasty bruise becoming prominent. Mercy was too proud generally, but he didn’t do hospitals, let alone when the people he hooked up with worked there. “Look, the fuckin’ cops brought me here. Can you show me how to get the fuck out of here or not?”

She paused for a moment a bit taken aback by his words, but brushed it off. "I apologized." was all she said, leaning down to retrieve the pack he dropped while juggling the papers in her hand to ensure they didn't fall too. "That's a little inappropriate seeing as I'm currently at work." Asya knew it wasn't what he meant, but it was funny to her regardless, "Perhaps another time." It'd been a while since she's last seen him, specially with the way he disappeared without another word, but she wasn't bothered by it. Between working long hours and time with her kids she didn't really have the time to about anything. "What's the rush? Don't you need this?" she asked as he turned, and stretched her hand out to hand his pack back.

Just a Ramble of an Idea for Jokani Lore

Hopefully this can be a good idea I can work with in the future, for my story and for the Pirateformers world...

So first... an introduction to a future new character~

... When Asya was still a young prince in Joka Ardhi, before she was crowned at the age of 16 to become one, she had a lifelong friend since her birth who, for a short while, was also her secret lover...

Azaan Sayyid, a human royal guard or a Kifalme Moran.

Azaan and Asya were undyingly loyal to each other and completely inseparable since the moment they met, since they were usually the only children living in the palace. And due to the cruelty she faced each day as a prince hiding her true identity, Azaan was there to support Asya as much as he could before he was sent away to complete his Morani training, shortly before Asya was coronated as crown prince. And during their years studying in the palace to become their future roles, Azaan chose his that was now a long forgotten tradition of the royal family, in order to be able to truly protect his dearest friend...

For long ago, when the children of Alunnui, the very first Dragon Lord, came of age to be coronated, the warriors of the kingdom were split into two branches of security... the common Morani, who serve to protect the public and the kingdom as a whole (basically the police and knights combined), and the Kifalme Morani, who are all stationed in Oasis, both in and around the palace, and protect the royal family at every hour of every day. But under Alunnui's direct order, there was a third branch split from the Kifalme Morani, consisting of usually three to five members only...

The Kivuli... The Shadow of his heirs.

This branch became a carefully planned out process amongst the most loyal members of the Kifalme Morani, where during the process of an heir's carefully planned out conception, to ensure only the most adequate of Alunnui's bloodline would inherit the crown, a child of a Moran would also be conceived around the same time as the royal child, raised alongside the children of the crown from birth to become their closest ally... their literal Shadow. At first, it was strictly done amongst Opal Dragonkin to ensure the Ruby Throne's heir had a Shadow who could live as long as they could throughout their entire reign and lifespan, while also ensuring every child of royal blood would always have protection and someone they could truly trust, no matter the drama of the court.

But as the eras of each Dragon Monarch came and went, so too did the traditions of the Shadow, to the point that a human could become a Shadow by choice, if they were a sworn ally and a faithful companion to their Dragon Lord, Queen or heir. And soon enough, with the Morani becoming adequate guards and the safety of the royal family no longer being of concern due to the magical strength of the heirs and Dragon Lord... The Shadow programme was eventually forgotten.

Now it is nothing more than a page in the history books... an old mantle a single Moran hopes to revive.

(...... and yes, the Shadow was heavily inspired by Maliketh the Black Blade and Blaidd the Half-Wolf, the Shadowbound Beasts from Elden Ring... I just really think Azaan is a LOT like Maliketh. XD)
