"Strength is where you stop; for me, it’s only the beginning."

-Lux

General Info:

Name: Lux Magnum Titles: Admiral Lux, Heavenly Justice Age: ???'???'???'??? Birthday: December 12th Race: Vacosian Gender: Female Sexuality: Homosexual Occupation: Admiral Allegation: Universal Government Handedness: Ambidextrous Height: 178 cm Eye Color: Red Hair Color: Black, with two white bangs Misc: She does have a tail as well.

Personality:

Lux Magnum, known as Heavenly Justice, carried herself with fierce independence and a pride that few could match. Growing up in the shadow of her older sister Ruby, she felt a mix of deep admiration and a determination to prove herself. When Ruby was banished, Lux’s sense of loss drove her to push herself harder, channeling her grief into becoming the perfect prodigy her parents desired. She was resilient, driven, and possessed an unshakable resolve, qualities that would come to define her as a leader within the Universal Government.

Though she rarely expressed it openly, Lux had a powerful loyalty to her family, especially Ruby. Even after years of separation, she felt a fierce protectiveness toward her sister, carrying that bond deep within despite her stoic demeanor. Her relationship with Ruby was complicated; while Lux respected Ruby’s free-spirited nature, she also felt a responsibility to uphold the family’s name. This protectiveness often showed in subtle actions rather than words, her loyalty evident to those who truly knew her.

Her pride was matched only by her ambition. She thrived on challenges, driven by a relentless competitive streak that refused to settle for mediocrity. In battle, she was fierce and calculating, pushing herself to outmatch each opponent with precision and efficiency. Her commitment to her goals sometimes made her seem distant or harsh, but to Lux, every action had purpose. She believed strength went beyond brute force; it was about discipline, perseverance, and constantly honing her abilities.

Her loyalty to the Universal Government was strong, but it was loyalty on her own terms. Lux respected the hierarchy, yet she maintained her own code, refusing to serve directly under a Celestial Dragon as a matter of principle. She viewed justice as something personal, a balance she sought to uphold based on her own values rather than blind allegiance. This independence made her both respected and cautious, as those around her often wondered where her loyalties ultimately lay.

At her core, Lux was motivated by pride, loyalty, and an unrelenting drive to excel. Though she presented a solitary front, she valued strength in others and respected those who demonstrated resolve and integrity. To her, family and loyalty ran deeper than any formal duty, even if she rarely showed it openly. Beneath her reserved exterior, Lux carried a fierce devotion that only a few would ever see; a silent vow to protect those she held dear, no matter the cost. She didn’t need recognition or praise.

Backstory:

Lux Magnum was born three years after her older sister, Ruby, into a family that valued strength and discipline above all else. From the beginning, she idolized Ruby, who felt like both a protector and a best friend. They were inseparable, two siblings navigating the world together, with Ruby often guiding Lux and showing her the ropes. Lux felt safe and inspired by Ruby’s presence, and their bond was one of the few constants in her young life. But when Azathoth decreed Ruby’s banishment to the forest, everything changed. Lux, still too young to understand why, was left heartbroken and lost, the world suddenly feeling much colder without her sister beside her.

With Ruby gone, Lux became the center of her parents’ attention. Magnolia and Surtr, in their own way, tried to fill the gap by channeling all their focus onto her, training her with an intensity that went beyond simple guidance. They wanted Lux to be the perfect prodigy, a successor worthy of their name and reputation. Feeling the weight of both her parents’ expectations and her own sense of loss, Lux threw herself into training. Day after day, she pushed herself harder, driven by a mix of duty, ambition, and a longing to live up to the family name, even as she wondered where her sister was and what had become of her.

When the events of Voidal came to pass, Lux and her father, Surtr, joined the Universal Government. It was a new chapter in her life, one that would test her resolve and skills. Lux quickly made her mark, throwing herself into every task with the same unyielding dedication that had guided her since childhood. Rising through the ranks was no easy feat, but Lux’s commitment and drive set her apart. She was determined not only to succeed but to prove that she could be more than what was expected of her. Her rise was fast and hard-won, and she soon gained a reputation as one of the most promising officers within the Government’s ranks.

In time, Lux became one of the youngest to ever earn the rank of Admiral. Her superiors recognized her as Heavenly Justice, a title that captured the strength and conviction she brought to every mission. Though she carried herself with pride, there was always a part of her that looked back, wondering about Ruby and the life they had shared. Despite everything she had accomplished, Lux knew that her sister’s absence still left a gap that nothing could fill. She remained loyal to that memory, hoping that one day, their paths might cross again.

As an Admiral, Lux commanded respect and authority, but beneath the titles and accolades, she was still the sister who missed the one person she had once felt closest to. Standing at the pinnacle of her career, she remained true to the ideals her family instilled in her, driven by the same fierce loyalty and strength that had shaped her from the start.

Trivia:

-Though Lux is known for her stoic demeanor, there’s one expression that strikes fear into the hearts of her opponents: a small, confident smirk that appears only when she’s certain of her victory. This smirk is a rare break in her otherwise serious expression, signaling that the fight is over in her mind. Those who have faced her and seen this expression describe it as the moment they realized they had already lost. The smirk isn’t mocking; rather, it’s a simple acknowledgment of her power and control over the battle’s outcome. In those rare moments, Lux’s pride shines through, leaving her opponent with a final reminder of just how far beyond strength she truly is.

-Lux has an unusual preference for silence, often seeking out quiet spaces to meditate and reflect before missions or after intense battles. Silence, to her, is a way to reconnect with her purpose and find focus amidst the noise of life and duty. She finds peace in solitude, appreciating the moments when she can simply breathe and think without interruption. Her meditative practice is a grounding ritual, and it’s rumored that she has a secluded spot within the Universal Government headquarters where she retreats whenever she needs clarity. For Lux, these quiet moments are as vital to her strength as any physical training.

-Lux has always kept her personal life and thoughts shrouded in secrecy, even with those she considers allies or friends. This habit began early in her life, as she learned that silence often spoke louder than words and left her intentions unreadable to others. Her enigmatic nature, combined with her stoic demeanor, has led to many within the Universal Government seeing her as almost mythical. To them, Lux is not just a warrior but a mystery—a figure who seems unshakeable, beyond reach, and wholly focused on her own code of honor. People around her often speculate about what truly drives her, but Lux gives them no answers, preferring to let her actions speak for themselves.

-Due to plenty of training with her father Surtr, who is the strongest Vacosian after Azathoth herself, her base power is rather high. Lux is able to match up to True Ultra Instinct Ruby in her base form. She does have access to Super Vacosian and Super Vacosian 4 as well, but only ever uses those forms in rare occassions.

-Much like any other Vacosian, she has a tail too. Much like her hair, it's black in color, but doesn't have any white highlights. Furthermore, she keeps it wrapped around her waist, disguising it as a furbelt that way.

“ROM Cloudia” is the counterpart of “RAM Clouder,” and its name is a pun on the latter. Instead of RAM, the card is based on ROM, or Read-Only Memory. 

“RAM Clouder” is a pun on ram (the animal) and RAM (Random Access Memory). Clouder might refer to to the monster’s wool and cloud computing.

[bxd-kxrma]

"Have you been training at all lately or have you just been slacking off, Karma?"

“Oh. Shit. Blair. Uh… yea of course I have! Totally haven’t been slacking off at all.” Of all people to check up on her… “What are you doing out here?” Change the subject quick!

The Armor of Vengeance

Many people speak about the Soldier of Darkness, a man who was once loyal to the Scions of Salem, until when he bore witness to her burning down his home where his family lived as a means to prove his "worth" to her. Little did she know she stoked a brutal fire within the man as he had left her side despite her threat to hunt him down with every Grimm she had available. Yet, when he found a mysterious armor embedded within the lands of Brumel he would don this armor... and little by little it would grant him more and more power. TO the point where he only sought out vengeance... any Brumelain soldier who saw this armor in action would dub him as the Soldier of Darkness or the Dark Knight of Brumel.....

Yet, that is what the stories say.....

In the Cyverse... after his first month as king, Kazura would find the armor being studied by the Science Division after hearing Eros, Asher, and Leonidas were all mortally injured by members of the Universal Government which sent Kazura into action not wanting another Brumelian death... as the death of his father was still forever fresh in his mind...

Thus he would don the armor of Darkness as he heard the whispers of vengeance.... and a spirit asking him one thing..

"How far are you willing to go to claim your vengeance, young king?"

Thus Kazura's response was simple.

"Until the Universal Government is nothing but ash and dust....."

This was enough for the armor to accept Kazura as its owner and thus....

THE DARK KNIGHT OF BRUMEL WAS BORN...

""Does 'kiddo' count as an aggravating nickname? I mean, it doesn't aggravate me... Ruby's a bajillion years old, so relatively speaking, I'm probably like a little kid to her..."

Oh we were talking about cringe? Oh that's a whole other post that I will not make.

"Your fault was not in burying your furies, but in thinking they would accept such a fate."

-Verda

General Info:

Name: Verda Velmont Titles: Silent Sinner, Youthful Green Occupation: Adventurer, Traveler Allegation: Ascendance Team Age: 20~24 Birthday: July 6th Race: Vacosian Gender: Female Height: 172 cm Eye Color: Purple Hair Color: Green Misc: Has a nickname of Little Green.

Personality:

Verda was a very driven and determined individual. She had an intense desire to grow and become someone who could protect those around her, yet this ambition was tempered by a lingering self-doubt that she found hard to shake. Despite her progress, she often questioned whether she would ever reach the strength she was aiming for. This internal conflict persisted, even as she pushed herself toward greatness.

Though often composed, Verda was empathetic toward her friends and allies. She was compassionate and sensitive to the struggles of others and held a fierce loyalty to her loved ones and those who shared in her journey. She often wore a mask of indifference, but those close to her could sense the quiet storm beneath her calm exterior. While she might not always have had the right words, Verda showed her care through actions and by being present for others, even if it meant setting aside her own needs.

Her training under her Shishou taught Verda the importance of patience, both with herself and others. Where she once rushed into things, eager to prove her strength, she now understood that growth was a gradual, often difficult process. Ruby’s guidance had shown her the value of self-control, strategy, and adaptability, shaping her into a disciplined fighter. While Verda struggled with perfectionism, she was learning to approach challenges with a deliberate and thoughtful mindset, viewing setbacks and failures as lessons.

Furthermore, training under Ruby had taught her a lot about patience, as her Shishou’s shenanigans sometimes grated on Verda’s nerves, as well as everyone else’s. Not to mention all the Toon Force exposure, which gave Verda a strong resistance to witnessing things out of the norm, supernatural, or defying the laws of physics and existence.

Despite her incredible growth, Verda was still hard on herself. She held herself to high standards, often focusing on her shortcomings rather than her achievements. This inner critic drove her to train relentlessly, but it could also make her feel isolated, as if she was never truly good enough. Her Shadow Clones had become a tool not only for training but also for self-reflection, allowing her to observe her own weaknesses and strengths from a distance. Self-acceptance remained one of her greatest challenges to this day.

Backstory:

Verda grew up in a quiet Vacosian village, where strength wasn’t the kind of thing people talked about. Life just kept moving along, a steady, familiar pace that was enough for everyone—everyone except Verda. From the start, she was the kind of kid drawn to tales of warriors and distant battles, stories that sparked something restless inside her. She wanted to become someone her village could rely on, someone who’d actually be able to protect them if things went wrong. But even with all her ambition, Verda carried a quiet ache—a mix of doubt and uncertainty that she could never quite shake. It sat there, in the back of her mind, making her feel like an outsider in her own world. And even as she pushed herself forward, it was always there, making her wonder if she’d ever find what she was looking for.

Her family saw that spark in her and did their best to support her. They shared what skills they could, and local mentors helped, but there was only so much they had to offer. Verda grew quickly, surpassing everything they could teach, and as she did, a kind of restlessness took hold. She started wondering if she was reaching for something she’d never really be able to grasp. Still, she held onto her dreams, hoping that someday she’d become the protector she’d always wanted to be.

That all changed the day she met Ruby. Watching Ruby fight was like seeing all of Verda’s dreams made real. Ruby didn’t just have strength; she had this focus, this balance of power and calm that felt completely untouchable. Driven by a mix of awe and maybe even a little desperation, Verda asked to become her student. She half-expected to be turned away, but Ruby looked at her, seemed to understand that struggle Verda was carrying, and agreed to take her on. That was the moment everything shifted.

Training with Ruby was grueling, unlike anything Verda had imagined. It demanded more than just her physical strength—it took everything she had emotionally, too. Ruby didn’t just teach her how to fight; she guided her through her own inner battles, showing her that real strength meant facing yourself as much as any opponent. More than once, Verda found herself questioning if she was even worthy of Ruby’s guidance, her self-doubt making her feel like she’d never live up to her teacher’s expectations. But each lesson, each struggle, became another step toward becoming the warrior she wanted to be.

The real turning point was when Ruby taught her the Shadow Clone technique. For Verda, these clones weren’t just training tools—they were a way to face her own doubts head-on. She used them to push herself from every angle, letting each clone focus on a different skill or weakness. It was like looking at herself through different lenses, sparring as both student and teacher. Slowly, she began developing her own fighting style, a blend of agility, precision, and resilience that felt like it belonged to her and no one else.

Despite all her progress, though, Verda’s journey was still one of hope and hardship. Her doubts didn’t just disappear; they were always there, that quiet sadness surfacing when she least expected it, reminding her of the distance between where she was and where she wanted to be. But she kept going, driven by loyalty to Ruby, a duty to her village, and a deep, unyielding desire to be someone others could depend on. Every step forward was shaping her, making her closer to the person she hoped to be, even if she didn’t fully see it yet.

The path wasn’t easy, but it was hers, and she wouldn’t have traded it for anything.

Abilities

Shadow Clones: Verda had mastered the art of creating Shadow Clones, an ability that enabled her to generate identical copies of herself. This technique allowed her to train at an accelerated pace, as knowledge and experience gained by her clones returned to her upon their dispelling. This gave her a strategic edge in both combat and training, enabling rapid skill acquisition and diverse battle tactics.

Advanced Martial Arts: Verda was highly skilled in martial arts, blending techniques she learned from Ruby with her own unique style. Her fighting approach emphasized agility and precision, with swift, calculated strikes designed to exploit her opponent’s weaknesses.

Flight: Like many powerful warriors, Verda had the ability to fly by manipulating her energy, giving her freedom of movement in battle and access to high-speed aerial maneuvers. Her flight was highly controlled, allowing her to combine air combat with her Shadow Clones for unpredictable attacks.

Super Vacosian Transformation: Verda can utilize the Super Vacosian trasnformations, having learned them in the past. She has fully mastered super Vacosian and Super Vacosian 2, while also recently acquiring Super Vacosian 4 under her Shishou's guidance. Each of these transformations multiply her power and abilities by a set amount.

Energy Manipulation: Verda could harness her energy (Ki), using it to create energy blasts, protective barriers, and powerful strikes. While she primarily focused on refined, close-range attacks, she could also generate energy-based projectiles for long-range encounters when necessary.

Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Through intense training, Verda had developed exceptional speed and reflexes, allowing her to react in a split second and dodge or counter attacks with ease. This speed paired well with her agility, making her a challenging opponent to predict or pin down.

Keen Senses: Verda’s rigorous training had heightened her sensory awareness, enabling her to detect subtle changes in her surroundings. This sense of awareness granted her a tactical advantage, as she could pick up on an opponent’s shifts in energy or movement even before they struck.

Ki Sense: Verda could sense the energy (Ki, Mana, Aura, etc.) of others, allowing her to gauge an opponent’s power level, location, and even their emotional state. This ability aided her in understanding her surroundings and helped her determine when to deploy her clones or when to strike on her own.

Strategic Combat Analysis: Due to her sharp intuition and observational skills, Verda had a natural talent for analyzing her opponents’ combat patterns and adapting mid-battle. Her ability to observe and respond to various fighting styles made her highly adaptive, giving her an edge in unpredictable or prolonged fights.

Equipment

Twin Short Blades: Verda’s fighting style was agile and precise, making her pair of lightweight, durable short blades essential to her dual-wielding skills. Crafted from a special Vacosian alloy, these blades withstood intense energy-based attacks. She kept them strapped across her lower back for easy access in combat.

Weighted Training Bands: To push her physical limits, Verda wore weighted wrist and ankle bands during training. Made from a dense, compact material, these bands increased resistance without compromising her agility, enhancing her speed and endurance once she removed them.

Energy-Resistant Cloak: Although Verda valued light equipment, she wore a short, energy-resistant cloak that served as additional protection against energy-based attacks. The cloak was designed to blend with her surroundings, granting her a strategic edge during stealth operations.

Compact Utility Belt: Verda carried a utility belt stocked with essential items like energy capsules (small vials that replenished her Ki in emergencies) and bandages or medical supplies for treating minor injuries mid-battle. The belt also held small smoke bombs, perfect for quick escapes or creating distractions when needed.

Reinforced Gloves: Verda’s lightweight, fingerless gloves featured reinforced padding on the knuckles and palms. They helped her channel energy more effectively in hand-to-hand combat, allowing her to strike with precision and added impact while protecting her hands.

Trivia:

-Verda had a very sharp sense of intuition, allowing her to read people and situations with surprising accuracy. This talent proved invaluable in both training and unexpected encounters, giving her an edge even when she lacked experience.

-Verda possessed an uncanny sense of direction, rarely getting lost even in unfamiliar places. She had an intuitive knack for finding her way back, which made her a reliable guide for others and added to her confidence as an adventurer.

-Though not a gourmet chef, Verda had learned to make simple, nourishing meals out of basic ingredients she found on her journeys. She was adept at foraging and had an eye for edible plants and herbs, which she incorporated into her meals.

-Verda was almost always awake before sunrise, using the quiet hours to train, meditate, or prepare for the day. She found that early mornings gave her a sense of calm and focus, setting a disciplined tone for her travels.

-Verda’s clones often kept brief journals during training, recording any insights or observations they gathered while active. When the clones dispelled, these notes returned to her memory, allowing her to reflect on the combined knowledge. This technique helped her improve quickly and track her progress from multiple perspectives.

Verda used her Shadow Clones to focus on different aspects of training simultaneously—one clone might focus on agility, another on energy control, while she herself worked on technique. This approach allowed her to refine multiple skills at once, with each clone specializing in a specific task, giving her well-rounded growth without sacrificing focus.

Verda often used her Shadow Clones to test risky techniques or strategies she was uncertain about. This allowed her to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new moves without directly endangering herself, making her more confident and innovative in battle.

Verda regularly sparred with her own clones, letting her practice against an opponent who knew her every move and tendency. This self-sparring method was a demanding exercise, forcing her to adapt constantly and improve her unpredictability in combat.

-Verda’s title, Silent Sinner, stemmed from her reputation as someone who took on the difficult, unspoken tasks that others hesitated to face. She had a knack for handling the jobs that required discretion and often operated under a strict code of silence, never revealing her methods or the burdens that came with them. The sinner aspect of her title arose from her willingness to carry out missions that required moral compromises or decisions others might avoid. Her quiet, unflinching approach in handling these difficult tasks earned her a reputation as the Silent Sinner, respected and feared by those aware of her work.

In accordance to this 'dirty' work, Verda has made a second main attire. One with a mask and her hair up in a folded pony tail, allowing her to do those things without it encroaching or interrupting her normal life.

he just spat his drink upon hearing what Cyverse Elysia said

"D-dude-- I mean yeah she's cute and has a nice ass, but please--"

Was actually lowkey thinking of getting to know her more--

[bxd-kxrma]

"So what did the Princess teach you?" Obviously she was referring to Blair with the mocking title. Taking a huff of her cigar again, she blew some smoke towards Karma. "Did she teach her your signature move?"

Karma coughs and waves the smoke away from her face. Gotta love Roone for the good and the bad.

“Ha! If you must know. I’ve developed my own signature ability that’ll put your scaly ass to bed that’s for sure. Beg your goddess properly and I may teach it to you.”

“Yo, you wanna test your limits?? I can push you!” Cyverse Karma lesssgoooooo

"I wouldn't. She's giving off the same kind of energy as that Ruby wo-"

"Really??? Hell yeah, let's do it!"

[iunctura-arch]

I figure since I'm interacting with @bxd-kxrma's Cyverse!Karma, might as well make the incarnation of Tatsuki for Cyverse too.

Niwa Tatsuki, in Cyverse, is 20 years old. Nothing backstory-wise really changed for her, and Dark is still with her despite the fact he should have vanished when Makoto chose her (despite their breakup a year after dating). Not that she's complaining, as it just means they get to have more adventures together.

She also is a lot different personality-wise, more carefree and optimistic with a dash of daring. Otherwise, nothing much has changed about her.
