Aoi Luna, The Mana of Aries

Hyperthorne City, Machina Islands



Alignment: Lawful Good



Motto: "Magic is not dead...And i'll prove it to you!"



Allies/Friends: Naru, Purple, Kain Ashcorp (Uncle), Aki Luna (Mother), Zera Volana



Enemies/Rivals: Adrian Luna (Father)



Backstory: Aoi Luna was born to his two parents, Adrian Luna and Aki Luna, Under a celestial event known as the Sky of Aries. In the world Aoi was born in, Magic was once considered as normal as any other energy, with people using Mana and Magic in tandem with one another to thrive. However, With the invention of Technology and all consuming machines, the drive of greed had caused Magic, and the knowledge of it, to become pushed to the side and destroyed, leaving the concept of old monsters and spells as figments of the past.

A small ember of Mana, known as the 'Orichalcum Spark', was all that remained, sealed within a small globe. Adrian Luna, along with his Brother-in-law, Kain Ashcorp, Would come together for one final act to seal the world. Adrian, Wished to snuff out the last ember, so the final vestiges of mana would be held on, While Kane, Wished for the spark to be rekindled, to bring Mana back. The two began to fight and battle, But ultimately, Kane's superior control of magic won over, and pushed Adrian aside, Causing a boom of Mana to overtake the world. The inherent pool of mana within everyone began to spark, And awoken creatures from the depths of the Ether, known as 'Manavores' to attack human kind once more, in events known as 'Black Nights'. 

Aoi was a reclusive boy, Preferring to stay inside. Adrian, Bitter due to how he had lost to Kain, Began to grow more distant and abusive towards Aoi, causing him to become more sore and and distant as well. He had left school to homeschool, living with his mother, and beginning to grow a fascination with the world of Femininity, Anime, Magic, and a general NEET lifestyle.

Aoi Luna, Due to his mothers genes, And the circumstances of his birth, Caused his body to become an over-expanding pool of mana, which constantly swelled in his body as excessive body fat or rapid body changes. Aoi's heart had become known as the 'Star of Aries', A veritable Mana Generating machine, Creating a sparkling, beautiful mana inside of his body constantly. Which, as an effect, would also draw Manavore's to him, to attempt to consume him.

Adrian Luna would gift Aoi the 'Paradox Gear', A gauntlet that held both a deck of cards, and an arcane circle upon the back hand of the machine. While magic, and the knowledge to cast it was forgotten, The arcane memories of that magic was still deeply engrained in the world. The cards carried the memories of the spells, the weapons, the summons, and past that the world had tried to forget, for Aoi to fill with his own mana, and summon forth to fight back the Manavore Threat. However, Aoi did not know that the threat of Anti-magic lead by his father, and a growing nihilism across the world, that believed magic deserved to die, would also be his enemy.

And so, Aoi made his choice. Aoi pushed aside his previous angst, and found his dream. He would bring magic back to the world, and quell the Manavore threat.

Appearance:

[Aoi's two most preferred styles of clothes.Aoi typically likes buying clothes from a brand called 'Good Sheep', Which specialize in stretching wool fibers, and graphic designs.

History On Li: Tap tap tap...

Sitting on a elevated train that was a direct line back home, Aoi Luna was tapping on a game device-- A Console with two screens, one that he tapped with a pen on the bottom side, as he kept hyper focused at the screen. Around him, The train car was relatively filled with people, But not so many he couldn't have a seat...In truth, He wasn't even really focusing on the game either, Idly tapping on a blank menu screen. He was trying to pull his own mind's attention from what he was wearing. The clothes of a female school student, with blue colored skirt and white top, Which was adorned with some tight-fitting gloves and rubber boots. It was a Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Obelisk Blue Girl's uniform-- Or, Atleast, A very nice Cosplay of one. Blonde Wig to represent Alexis aside, it was fairly competently made-- Though the question of why Aoi was wearing something like this was another question entirely.

Aoi dressed up for a Convention just a few hours ago, And had a good bit of fun. It was a nice little excuse to wear the clothes he liked, and not feel too weird about it-- Outside of the autograph he had to ask for, which, felt like he wanted to die. But outside of that, he did pretty well. Though-- A few hours of Con Sweat and meeting the egregious dregs of human society, scraped from underneath the armpit of god's sewer, Aoi thought 'Why not, Just head straight home, Don't even change! It's dead around this time, so the train will be empty, like usual!'

Yeah...No.

Train delay made Aoi hit exactly during lunch rush, Causing the young, Cross-play-Cos-player to be stuck in a tram full of various normal folks, some passing him off as a slightly-masculine looking girl, and others, passing him dirty looks. As the train passed under a tunnel, Aoi sighed, as he looked down at the game, Anxiety filling his body as he thought...But then, That Anxiety hit a spike, that caused the blue haired boy to look up, As he felt the presence of ice cold eyes behind him, Darting by.

"Everybody get DOWN!" Aoi yelled-- Before suddenly the tempered glass of the trains windows burst and exploded, Causing the passengers inside to scream, as the world outside shifted. What was once warm orange mid-day sun, turned to a dark blue, Black sky, and an Unholy white moon, as the Train seemed to increase in speed, Flying down the tracks, as the tracks flew off into an ever increasingly long endless track!

Aoi grit his teeth and stood up, as Passengers tried to pull the brakes of the train, flee to another car, or simply ducked under there seats to avoid what was happening, as Aoi looked out the window, To see, Flying alongside, keeping pace with the train, was a Humanoid creature, With long, glittering patterned wings, as it turned, and flew in through the window, Landing and revealing it's full form.

An androgynous looking humanoid stood to a full height, Wings collapsing into a cloak of white adorned with deep blue patterns, Turning to face the crowd of passengers...

{The Psychic Butterfly}

[M O T H M A N]

{Visage of Damnation}

As a passenger got up, and tried to run for the door, The Inhuman creature, Mothman, Would reach out and grab her head, Causing her to give a panicked expression as the light blue energy of her soul began to flow out of her mouth and towards the Mothman's body. Or, It would, Were it not for Aoi quickly ripping open the zipper of his messenger bag, pulling out his Paradox Gear, and drawing a card.

"Battlemage!" Aoi shouted, As the card, and Gauntlet shifted form, Changing into a Curved Sword, As Aoi jumped in and Sliced at the Mothman's arm, Causing him to drop the woman in his grasp to flutter back and dodge! "...Ah. So it was a Human that drew me in? How...Revolting." The Monster would say, as Aoi would only reply with an angered yell, and slashing his blade again, Only this time, Caught by the Mothman's hand. "Yeah, yeah, i-i get that im a big mana feast-- Can we please not do this today?" Aoi pleaded...The Mothman simply smirked.

BLAST!

Aoi was sent flying back, as a Silver wind of white powder blasted him away, causing him to roll across the metal floor of the train, as the Mothman marched toward him. "So, The rumor of 'New Mages' is true after all...Are they all so...Uniquely dressed?" They asked, as Aoi would stand up, quickly slipping another card from his new swords hilt, creating an off-hand weapon, In the form of a Shield. Aoi had no words, just narrowing his eyes as he took his best stance. "Inexperienced as well. Easy Pickings, Then." They said, Raising a scepter held in his arm, Causing several tufts of the fur making up there wings to detatch, and sharpen into multiple large spears, making Aoi gasp. "O-oh no no no!" He shouted, Trying to duck and weave the attacks, And only deflecting a few of the arrows with his shield, As two more missed and almost hit the passengers.

"H-hey! Stop firing at them, They have nothing to do with this!" Aoi shouted, Charging in and clashing swords with the Mothman's wing, as the Moth Man retaliated with swings of his Scepter. In which, a strange Circle, like a Trophy Stand, was sealed inside of the orb atop...But, There was no time to argue this, as the Moth Man kicked Aoi back across the car! "As a rabbit has no business with a mountain lion?" The Mana-eater would ask, As he readied another set of Arrows. Aoi, Realizing what was to come, Quickly dove into his deck, Selecting cards out of the deck easily as he slammed the card onto the ground, Summoning the shattered glass from the floor up into a direct wall.

" [VULCAN GLASS!] "

Both, Arrows of Moth-Fur and Glass shattered, Three hunks of glass destroying an arrow each as they collided, acting as a perfect counter! Aoi took the time of projectile cross fire to quickly start sleighting cards, one after the other, as glowing cards of light appeared beside his head, each displaying various symbols. A Blunt Strike, A Fire Ball, A Ball of light...But, Aoi would stop once the Projectiles stopped, and the Mothman charged down after him! Aoi gasped, opening his arms to catch the Moth Man in a hug, pulling him over to the shattered glass of the Train Door, And pulling them both out!

Sent rolling onto the hard gravel dirt of the raised bridge, Aoi let out a sheer cry of pain as he realized how...poor his cosplay was at deflecting rock, As he rolled across the ground, Letting go of the Mothman and rolling to a stop. Now, His skin looked bruised and bloodied, as Aoi tried to stand up, Looking down at the Mana Eater. Yet another dumb decision, for a Human to make." The Demon would promptly sputter, as Aoi nodded. "Ugh...Again with the 'Dumb Human' thing? Don't you guys have anything nice to say about us?" Aoi replied, As his shield and sword vanished. Aoi had one clean shot at this Spell he was gonna use...He wasn't about to waste it.

"...Sure. For instance...I like how easily you're set up for a trap." The Mothman would say, as his body became engulfed in a deep black fur, his blue spotted patterns glowing bright, as his eyes suddenly shined. " {AMNESIA!} "

"Wait--!" Aoi gasped, Eyes wide open as the Mothman's mental spell hit him, Causing Aoi's memories to begin to be locked away, making him start to forget...where was he? Who was his family again? And why....Why was he here again? Aoi slowly opened his eyes-- Only to see the tall bug man now charging at him, Clashing into him, as the Bug man's speed began to rival and outpace the train beside them, blasting them both at increasing speed! "G-gahaaa!!" Aoi coughed up blood, as the Insectoid man charged with elbow directly into Aoi's Lungs, Smirking as he raised his scepter. "Once we reach the front of the train...I think I'll throw you infront of it. It must be going at a fine 900 MPH...More than enough to splatter even a mage like you into a red mist." The Mothman said with a sick white smirk on it's black body.


Aoi would shut his eyes, clenching his teeth as he grew angrier...His mind was a foggy mess. What was his plan to beat this thing?! He had a plan-- one he had hatched perfectly, but what the hell was it?! Before he could think much more, He started to notice that the Mothman began to fly closer to the speeding train. "On second thought...I think getting rid of you by grinding you against the side of the train will do much better...Tell me, Before the memory slips your mind. Which mage were you supposed to be?" Aoi would panic, as the speeding trains car began to pick up speed, scraping along his back, as the Mothman slowed down, so the trains speed would be much more deadly. Aoi would grit his teeth. "A-aries...I-i'm the star of Aries...A-and the one who will bring magic back to the world...!"

"...Another Human with a childish hope for a better world. How do naïve humans like you exist, even after all the genocide, the wars, the destruction of the world you live in-- All of it?... You'd all serve so much better as Cattle, instead of clinging to this hope for a better life." ...Those words caused Aoi to stop, As he looked toward the Moth Man once more, teeth gritting, as the back of Aoi's head neared the speeding train...But instead, Aoi's head would glow a sharp blue, as his hair glew. "...You Idiot."

"Wha--"


CRACK! Suddenly, Aoi slammed his foot into the train car, which pushed him forward enough to slam his head into the Moth man's face, forcing them both away from the car and for Aoi to land infront of them, His hair aglow, and Mana forming into the shape of Ram horns aside his head. "I am so sick and tired of this nihilistic crap! 'Oh, Humans do a bad sometimes, so therefore we all deserve to die and no one deserves anything--' God, That mindset is such GARBAGE!!!" Aoi said, Readying the Shield he created on his side.

"W-what? That...The Amnesia spell should render you a vegetable!"


"This world, for all it's faults and it's problems, is Beautiful! For every war, There's a protest to stop it! For every genocide, there's a soldier dying to get it to stop! For every hunger, a charity to end it! There is magic in the world, and it deserves to bloom! So, You want to know who i am?!" Aoi Ranted, ignoring the Moth Man's words."I'm the Mage who's going to do all he can, to end the evil once and for all, and make this whole world a better place! One where monsters who prey on innocents like you have no place!"

"Grr...You little PUNK!" The Mana Eater screeched, Kneeling back in and going for a Direct charge at Aoi, as Aoi's three sleighted cards slipped into his shield, Causing his shield to become engulfed in a Solar Light, Flashing a bright gold across the Mothman's face!

"[[SOLAR FLARE MAGNUM!]]"

SMASH!

Aoi delivered a fiery punch right into the Mana Eaters stomach, causing them to screech out in pain, as the light grew and grew and grew, until it was completely consumed in the light, And blasted off in a bright white pillar of fire into the sky! The Shield Aoi held vanished, re-shaping into the gauntlet holding a deck of cards it once was onto aoi's arm, as Aoi stumbled back a bit, letting out a light, airy sigh of relief, as he saw where the Mothman once stood...

And there it was. The strange...Trophy stand, that was in his scepter, was now on the ground, and shining a strange light. Aoi would raise his brow, walking over and reaching for it...For no particular reason. Aoi's mind continued to be a foggy mess of clouds, as he couldn't begin to piece together his mind just yet. The Amnesia spell was no doubt going to affect his mind for a while, He just...Had an instinct. This Trophy Stand, He needed to bring it to...Someone? His Dad? His Mom? His...Uncle?

However...Once he touched the Stand, In a flash, The world seemed to invert in color. Aoi's eyes grew wide, as suddenly a rainbow of colors exploded from the Stand, Flowing into his Gauntlet! Unbeknownst to Aoi, he just tapped into what was effectively, a bridge between worlds...Li. The Deck of cards began to explode into a wide flurry, flying out of Aoi's gauntlet in a frantic, insane rate, as more, more, more, and even more cards were formed from the Mana's of other worlds, filling the deck to an extreme, infinite amount, as Aoi vanished, along with the Stand, Pulling him in through, and into a new, unknown world...

The Light-consuming black sky turned back to a sunny day, as those in the train car would slowly stir, waking up to see there train cars windows exploded, and holes puncturing the side of the walls. They were victims of a Black Night event. And of them, Someone had vanished...

Someone who was playing on a two-screened console, which was left on the seat.

[Mari]

Battlemage Engine - Evolving Equipment: The evolving mechanic is appropriate for a special attack.

Mage Engine- DX Card- Destiny Exceed: The base damage of this move potentially exceeds the damage cap.

Paradox Card; Paradigm Sleight: This attack has no flavor text. It's not obvious what is happening during the attack. It's also generally obscenely powerful. I recommend a complete overhaul/replacement.

“Summoner Engine” - Echo of Mana: "A Taunt (Causing targets affected to forcefully target the summon, CHA vs INT)"
Moves that force other characters to do things with no sensible flavor justifying it aren't allowed.

Also, there are no limits on summoning these things and they have an enormous amount of HP for how little investment it takes to make one. You spend 10 HP and an action and your average opponent has spend like 4 actions not counting misses to get rid of just one of them. By which time you could have 5 more.

Mana Berserk!: I don't know what the SMT stat is. Level 2 and 3 imply stat boosts being given to multiple stats but no rules are given for such. Let's tone down these numbers. Reduce the crit increase to +1, +2, and +3. Reduce the damage buff to +3, +5, and +8. Make the recoil 1d4+1, 2d4+2, and 3d4+3.

Summoner Engine - DX - Destiny Limit + Limit Breaker
This is a semi-permanent buff. ...And a slightly underpowered regular final smash. And it summons you a companion. All in one. Needs a nerf. Also DX summons don't appear to actually be detailed anywhere.
