The Angel from my Nightmare.
Name: Luna Artemis Cherubwing
Gender: Female
Age: Seventeen
Element: Moon
Pokemon traits: First and foremost, as no true Umbreon Pokemorph could claim to be complete without them, a pair of startling crimson eyes. The irises of the girl could be described, had any Human standing on earth been granted the gift of laying eyes on the divine sight, as two picture-perfect Ruby droplets, in a deeper and more somber hue than the brilliant, smoldering eyes of which the average Umbreon peers out. The peculiar color, seemingly neither Human nor Pokemon, appears to be a mixture of the two, a strange and curious unnatural combination like the girl herself, not quite one or the other. The deep complexity of the girl's eyes can only be described in feeble attempts, rather by the mood than by the color, which most would testify as "Melancholy", or "Puzzling", or, even by some, "Tormented". For one who claims to be the Moon Goddess, this shouldn't be an incredible shocker, or blunt realization, as there is a good reason why night, the darkest of all the elements, is balked at by Human and Pokemon alike, warned against and regarded with fear by people of all types- god-fearing Preachers to their obedient and faithful flocks, Mothers to their small children, Boyfriends to their girlfriends in hushed and anxious whispers.. It is the common human belief, and is accepted just as easily by the new generation as is the fact that the sun is the central entity responsible for all warmth, life, and happiness in the world. But for each beautiful entity and existence, there must be an equal and opposing polar opposite. And existing, seemingly only as contrast to the Sun's beauty, a creation to remind the world of their gratitude for the center of life as they know it, the closest thing to God beneath Arceus, is Luna. Her eyes, thought by all in observance, and scrawled down, then rewritten, and typed into the stuff that becomes Human legend and folklore, are so painfully and heartbreakingly beautiful in their ancient, rustic Gemstone misery, that it is said that the Moon Goddess uses them to lure in Human beings weak and dim-witted enough to be drawn to them, like Flies to a light. Her eyes, as it is quoted directly from the most popular of Mythology books regarding Arceus, are that of a Venus Flytrap, so innocently wide, and sweet, portraying all the joys and delights, both simple and elaborate through a pane the color of stagnant blood, whatever the Human heart gazing into them desires, that like the sweet scent let out by the Flytrap, they bind the person into a mesmerizing spell, so powerful that the person is drawn ever closer to her, until the Goddess, by whatever powers she posesses, snaps down on them and in her vice grip and.. This is where the tale ends, as no one is quite sure what Luna, Arceus' Guardian of the night, and all things pale, and strong, and silent, and morbidly beautiful actually does with her Human victims. Whether she immobilizes them somehow, and steals the useless bodies away back to her Web of Lust to devour them whole, or satisfies herself in other ways with them isn't known, but still is enough to make the Village children, in the old ages as well as in modern, tremble in petrified fear, growing up so frightened and feartful of the Goddess to the extent that vowed if the mythical creature were ever caught, she would be confined and put to death immediately. Why Arceus would create a creature so diabolical and wasteful with Humankind was never really the question, but her haunting heartbreaking eyes, Siren-like in their oddity, are enough, it seems, to cause the people to shrink away in fright, and turn on their heels and flee from her presence. The color, while a chilling aspect of her overall irises, aren't even the part relating to an Umbreon. Much like an Umbreon's "Mean Look", when feeling threatened, or that somebody close to her is being threatened, her one of only two natural defense mechanisms, Luna can ensnare the perpetrator in a spellbinding stare inflicted by only a simple menacing glower cast out by her ordinarily wide and helpless eyes. Though the paper-like, delicate pallor of her creamy and milky skin, flowing across her body like a rich and luxuriant cream contrasts directly to an Umbreon's silken ebony fur, the rich and sensual texture remains the same, and not only that, seems to attract the sunlight more than the average pelt of Human skin. Like an Umbreon, or any other Pokemon of dark, it can become excruciatingly painful if Luna is made to walk beneath direct sunlight for very long, for the sensitivity of her skin will immediately draw the rays inward, searing and boiling her flesh if she is made to suffer under them for too long, which perhaps is where all the folklore of Vampires originates from. The effects of being forced to remain in sunlight aren't just internal, if Luna isn't removed from the sun within an hour or two, boils and heat blisters of enormous proportion swell up all over her body, giving her the appearance of an over-ripe and mutated Tomato. When the effects get to be too much, Luna will pass out from exhaustion, and that's when the situation really grows dangerous, for her body only uses this as a last resort, a sort of merciful natural anesthesia as all her systems and bodily processes shut down. It can also be recorded that whenever someone startles Luna suddenly, or whenever feeling threatened, or conscious of a larger, more malicious form intending her harm, the pores of her skin will open up, and a spritz of toxic poison will be emitted from her body, searing and dissolving anything it touches in a sharp wave of acid. Whenever she steps out into sunlight, the pores open as well, only instead of spraying out the poison directly, it flows down her body in uncontrollable rivulets, making it impossible for anyone to touch her. This venom is more than just a simple nuisance, for if Luna doesn't shake it off regularly after emitting it, then it will start to burn her, the master of it even, it is so potent. A biological weapon made by none other than herself could just as quickly destroy an enemy as herself. The other Pokemon-like traits she posesses are more physical than anything else, and don't serve her any other purpose than for looks. On nights when the moon shines bright, several translucent Neon yellow splotches appear, camoflauged during plain daylight as regular skin, but on nights when the moon appears, making themselves known, and shining with such radiance and sheen, that her location can be immediately exposed from up to a mile away. The more of the moon's face that is shown, the brighter Luna's rings shine, and on a full moon, all five, one around her left eye, two around her shoulders, and two distributed evenly on her lower back, while only the one encircling her ruby eye can be seen on a night depicting a Crescent moon. Likewise, these rings can be seen shining as they would on an Umbreon, on her two long, elogonated authentic Umbreon ears, and the long, slender ebony tail so sleek, that a person trying to grab and capture her by it would be trying in vain, for it would just slip right out of their hand, that component of her just as elusive as the whole. Luna's ears, as well as her tail are both the best indicators of her mood, for her eyes often don't discolse what she is thinking or feeling, portraying a bizzare and surreal image of chaos instead, one that only those closest to her will be able to decipher. Two Canines extend, about an inch longer than average, so that the needle-like point is just barely visable over the natural pout of her full ruby lips. As a bonus, seeming to have adapted to the tank-like and defensive rather than offensive nature of an Umbreon, Luna isn't really suspectible to many hits. She can withstand basically anything thrown at her, unless that being thrown at her is something along the lines of a "Mach Punch" or a "Close Combat", in which she suffers terribly, one tiny little Martial blow landing her into a spell of unconsciousness. Those Pokemon of Psychic nature seem to be immediately repelled by her, as, amazingly enough, are those of Ghost nature, regarding her as the slime dredged up from the recesses of hell. Not many Pokemon are openly trusting with this misunderstood dark-type girl actually, which may be the reason that Dark-type Pokemon are especially sympathetic and protective of the frail girl. Not much can get through this solid wall of a girl, and she prides herself in her ability to hold her own, rather than flee when the going gets tough. With this heaviness and determined resilience though, comes consequence. Luna is no Superman, her "Faster than a speeding bullet" perk being yanked away, and replaced with the agility of a Tugboat. Luna constantly has to live and re-live the nightmare of being weighed down with leaden feet and legs, the scare that most people only have to witness in dreams, and depend on fight and endurance rather than flight. Surprisingly, the handicap in her legs and feet seems to affect no other part of the girl's body, or her weight. Also, when her powers aren't activated, Luna has the keen sensation and awareness of any dark intent conspiring in another's heart, though she can't read their thoughts directly to realize what exactly it is. This ability isn't entirely useless, believe it or not, and helps her make decisions regarding on whether to approach a particular person or Pokemon.
Appearance: At anyone's first glance of the slight girl, save for her morose twin irises of scarlet doom, she would be brushed off with a sneer, a triumphant and selfish notion typical of mankind that the girl, in a natural attitude of "Survival of the fittest", would never quite make the cut. The Moon Goddess posesses, for a reason unbeknownst to her, a tiny sliver of a frame, as if the Godly divine Pokemon sculpted the other eleven Sages with with an elaborate patience, then at the last moment, ran out of power and patience with the last one. The one delicacy this girl was granted, seemingly, were her painstakingly carved ruby jewels of eyes. Though this girl, along with every one of the other Sages created by Arceus, look to be as if carved from marble, or fashioned from another sort of precious material, she has no other extraordinary features. A delicate little nose with nostrils that seems to flare out when she is panicked, or surprised otherwise, graces her round, pale face, and a tiny coral set of lips that always seem to be pursed into a pout, though this is just as natural as and unintended as her devestating eyes. Though Luna's face is round, and moon-like (Haha) , her cheekbones are well-defined, rising up and setting a clear structure for her face. The rest of Luna's body, from her thin but sturdy shoulders, down to the gentle, wing-like slops of her jutting hipbones, Luna is as fine, and precise as the features on her face. No limb or small detail of her bodily shape seems to have gone unnoticed by the God, and, as she regains consciousness and begins to see herself, for what feels like the first time, Luna will notice that every part on her isn't a product of Arceus' creativity or imagination, but seems to serve a specific purpose or function toward her mission. As in her menacing crimson eyes to lure in and then immobilize her desired target, the contracting pores that enlargen and minimize of their own accord, and the rock-hard solidity of the bones forming her themselves. The only thing that serves as an unnatural handicap to the female is her pale, translucent skin, just a shade or two darker than that of a suspended snowflake, with the make up and durability of paper, and no less resistant to the sun. With an Umbreon's keen senses and abilites, the sun isn't just a threat, but a fiery inferno ball of impending doom for the girl, as her skin, with no dark fur as a decoy to draw the harsh and unforgiving rays from it, is made to bear direct impact of it, which, if under for more than an hour or two as mentioned above, could not only severely damage her internally and externally, but exterminate her fragile existence completely. Her hair, a color contrast of what one would think is a 'must' for anyone claiming to be an Umbreon Pokemorph to have, is a pale shade of Blond, reflecting the luminescent yellow rings on an Umbreon's coat rather than the dark, ebony fur of the Pokemon. The long, silken strands, are a softer, more Human version of the radiant color of Umbreon's rings. The color of Cornflower, or, more ironically, of weak Sunshine, Luna's hair ends just about mid-shoulder, with a layer of choppy bangs, ending at different lengths, the outside starting at falling just an inch down from her hairline, and increasing ever longer toward the middle, so that the inner most tendrils fall into her deep, crimson eyes and constantly have to be swatted away.
Outfits/Accessories: The most common outfit Luna can be seen wearing is a shorter version of a Kimono, composed of a black silky material, and tied at the waist, so that the girl's tiny waistline is exposed rather than concealed, is a Neon yellow sash, tied into a large bow on her right hip. As for the pattern of the Kimono itself, the garment is covered in large, descriptive illustrations of Sun and Moon prints, the globe of the Sun being covered by a great ring of orange flame, and the moon in different phases, Half, Crescent, Full, and Gibbous. The Kimono falls to lower thigh, and at the hem, a tiny print of three Pokemon: An Umbreon and an Espeon, stand staring at each other, mouths agape with incredulous expressions and sweatdrops running down the sides of their faces, an Absol watching the two, so quiet and obscure, though his snow-white fur contrasted with the dark black silk of the Kimono, that anyone but a careful observer would glance over the background Pokemon without a second though. Near the top, just above the bosom of the dress, two Eevee sisters, looking exactly identical, frolic in play, twin tiny mouths stretched open to the max in silent laughter. In her pale hair, Luna wears a plastic head band the color of her sash, a tiny mold of a bow over toward the right side. On a thin silver chain, hung around her pale throat, is a necklace depicting a Solrock and a Lunatone intwined within one another. On her wrist, a golden charm bracelet with several tiny charms: An Espeon clinging for dear life to a tiny moonstone, an Umbreon in similar fashion clinging to a Dawn stone, an Eevee sitting, mouth stretched open wide in an ecstatic smile, arms wrapped around a Mudkip and a Totodile, a Treecko and a Chimchar standing behind them sporting similar grins, on the back of which is inscribed, "Look to the past and remember and smile", and a dangling charm of a Loudred, gargantuan mouth stuffed with a Watermelon. On her back Luna wears a Lunatone backpack, in which a battered Teddiursa plushie is stuffed inside, and several healing potions, though she doesn't have a facisimile of a clue what these are to be used for. Luna also came equipped with an alternate outfit, it would seemed, this one being a more durable knee-lenth plain black pleated skirt, a large black bow attached to the back. The shirt accompanying it is a Sailor-themed blouse, with outlines of Flueorescent yellow in place of Navy blue. The shoes she wears, constantly on her feet are a soft, silken pair of Ballet slippers, footwear to marvel out, but not ones with great endurance or practicality. The slippers tie in black ribbons up the girl's thin but muscled calves, and contain identical Ruby Gems punched out in the shapes of hearts near the beginnings of the shoe.
Brief Description of powers and Appearance when your power is activated:
In General: As with many, if not all of the other Sages, Luna has the common, almost stereotypical ability of the Supernatural dozen of her senses heightening. Odors are drawn to her ever-increasing sensitive nostrils, and she is able to unwillingly and at ease detect the slightest whiff of a fellow Human or Pokemon, even if the scent had been dropped days ago. In addition, if the scent isn't more than a couple hours old, if she had the desire to do so, she could follow the trail of odor left behind to the object leaving it, making her a successful and useful natural tracker. By breathing in the odor of a particular plant, person, or Pokemon, she is able to detect on impact several visual clues about the creature leaving it behind, as in the case of an Oddish: Small, Grassy, Weak, and so forth, even if she has never encountered the person, plant, or Pokemon in her entire life. If she has inhaled a scent more than once, she can automatically name the species of plant or Pokemon who left it behind, or if dropped by a person, will automatically and instinctively associate that scent with the person, no matter how they try to disguise over it with colognes and perfumes, enabling her to excel at seeking out people in hiding, singling out somebody in a throng of hundreds, or, as will become most useful, locating somebody who has been snatched away, kidnapped and hidden in the hopes that their companions would spend many futile hours in vain trying to find them. Also, and though this may not even be significant enough to be labeled an actual power, due to Luna's nature, and type, when entering a room or gathering of beings, she can unknowingly change the tone of a room, without realizing it and with no way of controlling it at first, by switching the mood from a heated enraged energy to a calm, and tranquil one, washing away feelings of manifesting malice and ill will conspiring in the creature's hearts. How this is done she doesn't entirely understand, but it seems that she draws all nasty feelings based off darkness to herself instantaneously, promoting peace and happiness in others, but then bringing a wave of unsettling unease over herself. People will grow noticeably more pleasant when she is around them, but then, in part because she has drawn all hard feelings to her own self, even though she feels none of these effects personally, causes the others' whose bad emotions toward each other have been wiped clean to regard her with fear and hesitant mistrust, due to all the negative energy and emotion surrounding her. Also, any person or Pokemon whose heart or emotions have been tampered with, artificially hindered to fulfill the selfish gains of powerhungry individuals, are reversed simply by the touch and loving caress of her pale hand, as long as her her own intentions in her heart are pure. Also, she is able to communicate with all Pokemon of the dark type with ease, and is able to read their thoughts, as well as sample their dreams. The Pokemon she understands most, obviously, is Umbreon, though she feels a strong, indescribable identical tie of loyalty and affection for each one of his alternate evolutions as well. These Eevee evolutions, though obviously not of the same type she was born, do not fear her as others of their own types do, and in fact feel a sort of sisterly tie toward the illfated girl, a natural binding between the two beings that no other creature that she can experience. Also, this child of the Moon, and this is one of her stranger powers, is able to sample the dreams of those around her. Ever-sensitive to emotions, especially those of darker natures, the human mind is this girl's playground, and this includes the thoughts that traverse through human and Pokemon alike when the sun sets, and night, as well as she, reigns. In the general phase, she can do nothing more than see into the minds and experience these dreams inside her own head, and this she can control at will, by moving up to someone and letting her pale hand press against the forehead of the one's dream she is seeking out, the hand inquiring, and transmitting to her own mind, what the slumbering person is dreaming and experiencing. She can also see the outlines and determine by shape in even the blackest of nights what lurks within. Some of the time, Luna is wrong, her accuracy being overidden by a nagging paranoia that someone or something is constantly tracking her, but in later stages, all doubt will be disspelled as the extent of these powers increase.
Stage one: First and foremost, Luna's two most prominent senses are heightened, her sense of smell, and sight. In this stage, the stage that activates instantaneously after she is united, as one with her significant other (The Goddess of the Sun, not her lover), Luna posesses a super enhanced version of "Odor Sleuth", as the second a scent comes into contact with her nose, she is flooded with information, and facts merged with memories, about the individual, though all this information is never intricate, never revealing more than the basics, the gist of this creature's life in a nutshell, and never insinuates to the type of person they are, their hopes, their ambitions, as well as the crushing disappointments and betrayals by others they have suffered. As for sight, Luna's vision depicting silhouettes in the dark is increased significantly, now, she is able to dispel the dark and cast it aside like a veil, and recognize instantly whatever may be hiding there, though this will have no effect on the others in her company, as they will still be as blind and as helpless in the dark as they always were, as they won't in later stages, and will be able to reap the benefits from this ability as well. In regard to the strange ability affecting others' night visions, Luna is granted the power to step through the doors marking the portal to another's dream land, in which she can openly choose whether or not she wishes to participate, and if she does, can immerse herself in it, but cannot change or affect the dream in any way, besides the powers she already has in this stage. She can communicate openly with the person spinning this eleborate dream, and can aid them when in dire need of her assistance in a night terror, but cannot change or manipulate the content or mood of this dream in any way, rendered useless and made to stand by and simply watch unless she is called upon for help. Also, Luna is able to emit tiny doses of the dark energy she has gathered, and in fact, now not only gathers it by involuntarily drawing negative emotions to herself, but siphoning positive energy as well, and shaping in into dark matter in a sort of dark photosynthic process, into tiny versions of an Umbreon's "Dark Pulse" attack, infusing these with tiny traces of toxic venom to not only inflict defensive harm on a being, and not just slowing them down as well, but a triple whammy of eating away at their existence until fatigued, they fall into a coma curable only by a potent Antidote. This dark energy can be expelled through an alternate route as well, for those cases when it would be too dangerous for the girl to use one on one combat with "Dark Pulse" on her target. This attack is weaker, for it is meant to be used farther away, and the closer she is to said target, the more damage the attack will inflict. This attack involves her emitting slow, reverberating waves of darkness, the sluggishness of the attack reflecting her naturally slow speed. These attacks are also useful because she can infuse them with the same venom, that, as well as damaging the opponent upon reaching her, can be transformed at will into a poisonous vapor that need only be breathed to achieve the same effects.
Stage two: All powers involving scent remain relatively the same, though in addition to the powers stated above, in this stage, the halfway stage between her weaker and most powerful stage, she is able to snag and witness a few vivid memories of the scent she has detected, though more often than not these memories mean nothing to her and, as the memories seems to be extracted by random, more often than not are nothing more than little extra tidbits of interesting trivia, as her 'powers' don't ever seem to cut the poor girl a break, and allow her to see anything that will actually help contribute to the problem at hand. As for vision, not only is she able to visualize what crawls in the dark, but for those around her, she is able to toss aside the darkness as well, until they see as clearly as she does, their weak mortal eyes remaining unchanged, but the veil of darkness disclosing the creature hiding it being made almost translucent by the Moon Goddess, so that they see distorted images of the hidden objects. This not only applies in the pitch black of night, but also in caves during broad daylight, and similar other places decked in natural drapes of darkness. The dreams she has, in earlier stages, only sampled and tasted briefly, and participated in of her own will, become a blinding and unresistable pull of familiarity, kindred with her stained soul, and when she comes in contact with a person in sleep, if they are swathed in dream, the force will become so beautifully blinding and alluring to the instinctive being within that Arceus crafted, that the girl will be automatically sucked in, not just consciousness, but her entire physical form, and she will not only be able to use each and every power that she posesses at will, but will also be able to be harmed in that dream state, by the demons and creatures inhabiting it and tormenting the dreamer, and could even be killed. The only way to salvage her and ensure her safety is by waking the dreamer up, which is a difficult task, seeing as it can't be told for certain by anyone who might be searching for her that Luna will necessarily be in this dream or that one, though when she slips into stage two and there are sleeping people or Pokemon, it is more likely than not that that's where she lies. The more fever-pitched and black with emotion a dream is, the more of a pull it has on Luna, so that if there is more than one dream going on around her, Luna will be pulled into the one of more serious nature, so that if someone is dreaming peacefully, the dark etched into her soul will be more attracted to the darker, more grotesque dream, ignoring the sweet dream and yanking her into full-fledged nightmare. Aside from the "Dark Pulse" and "Faint Attack" attacks growing stronger, and heavier with venom to inflict mediocre damage, and eat away at the offender's energy faster than in the first stage, there are no differences in these attacks. As these attacks become stronger and more potentially life-threatening, so does Luna's ability to successfully control them. As different from the case of the weaker pulsations, when Luna could control them on a whim, and with the dreams she could step into at will, in this stage, anything deemed a threat or unintentionally startling the girl could easily wind up with a nasty, poisonous infliction. A portion of her emotion is shut off, and Luna becomes seemingly more cold as her mind and body adapts from a thoughtful and selfless Human vessel to a focused, honed-in defensive machine, her raw emotion, the one thing that keeps her on a sympaethetic and understanding level with human and Pokemon alike, being sacrificed for power. In this stage, Luna is granted the ability to absorb up and use for energy whatever darkness she can scrounge up, and is able to creatively use this energy to make sort of Voodoo clones out of people and Pokemon alike. In this stage, stage two, she must craft the clone of rough materials, and items personal, either organic or clothing, for the little doll to work. By using the negative emotion and energy she has gathered from these creature specifically, she can bring the doll to life, and can use the negative energy derived from the real deal on the copy to inflict pain, and control some movement of the person or Pokemon if she so desires. The pitfall of this power is that Luna must be within twenty feet's distance of the victim she wishes to control, or all her carefully-crafted efforts will fail, and the doll will be rendered useless, so she must be vulnerable in constant sight of the one she plans to harm. In addition to these upped powers, and the added Voodoo abilities, in this stage, Luna is able to construct weak, short-lived bubble barriers of darkness for defensive protection against oncoming attacks, to combat them. These shields never last more than a few seconds, and are easily penetrated. Also come the powers of invisibility, in darkness, in which the girl can almost completely submerge herself in darkness, save for her ever-glowing smoldering embers of irises, always cutting menacingly through the dark veil she cloaks herself within. If she keeps her eyes closed, she is at disadvantage because she is not able to see, only smell, but it completely bathed in black, and invisible to the average human's naked eye, and must be artificually detected to be found.
Stage two and a half: All else in Stage two remains the same, save for one tiny special ability that, in special state of emergency, Luna finds herself having the willpower and added strength to do. When faced the the swirling and chaotic dark emotions of despair, or rage, Luna is able to directly use these newfound powerful feelings emitted from the person or Pokemon that is her target, and able to be saved anf stored for late use, to manipulate and fashion into a dark clone of that creature, a dark, crude creature that is but a cheap and disfigured copy of the original. This figure is, for the most part, is in the control of Luna, and, along with containing all powers, abilities, and, in the case of Pokemon, attacks, can, at the order and whim of Luna, destroy or maim itself to inflict minor to serious injury on the original. These dark copies look exactly the same as the originals, making them hard to distinguish, save for the fact that they are completely speechless or void of emotion, savage beasts conjured up out of agony or a wrathful rage to serve Luna's desires. Physically, these copies can be distinguished by their lack of eyes, a big, gaping void of nothingness where ordinary sockets would be.
Stage three: This stage, a sort of Last Resort stage for Luna, is enabled only in the blackest of chaos, where her life, or another's close to her is at stake, and she, or another stand of the brink of death, gazing down into an abyss, and her only choice is to risk all with this third and final stage. In this stage, the final stage to end-all, a stage that, after usage, much like many of her fellow Sages, Luna is more likely than not to perish and fade into the void from sheer effort and over-exhaustion of body, mind, and power. Physically, she becomes imperious to any restraints, or signals of aching pain, distress, or weariness from her Human and Pokemon features, which may be the reason why all signs point in most likelihood point to her untimely demise. In this stage, the veil of darkness that remains ever present, even in the presence of the blinding and heavenly light that overrides and triumphs it, is at the hand of Luna, and its very existence depends on her. Able to lift, at ease, the darkness that shadows any person or being attempting to escape her the burning sear of her crimson eyes, and, at that, when wishing to be disclosed from an attacking or oncoming person assaulting her, or attemptingto locate her when she doesn't wish to be found, can, with a single glance, drop and let hang and envelop a curtain of darkness to swallow her whole, and chew her up, much like the cold, emotionless machine her human nature has relented to unknowingly, a sacrifice to the infinite power of the dark side she has been granted, in exhange for the precious caring and pure untarnished half of her Human soul. In this stage, Luna is completely unresponsive and unswayed by any acts of kindness any creature shows her, as she has yielded to the inner creator and protector Arceus had wrapped the rest of her personality and being around, and now exposed, is just the bare and savage beast within. If left alone, she will obliterate only those attacking her, of another creature, or threatening the safety of the human or natural world, but if anyone, good or bad, steps in her path with intentions of halting her in her mission, she will crush those as well without feeling a shred of remorse, at least at the time. If she were to come out of this state alive and realize that another had lost their life due to her rage, she would experience an incurable downward spiral of guilt, a self-punishment of slow death. As well as the power to manipulate darkness freely and openly, to understand and experience fully the hidden, ominous language of the Dark element that the Moon rules over, the natural language that every Sage of every element in turn understands in a deep, locked-away chamber of their inner self. The "Faint Attack" and "Dark Pulse" become so overpowering, that if Luna were to exert all her force into one or the other, it could easily kill the average human being or non-legendary Pokemon, while doing a hefty damage to any legendary Pokemon, at that. The acidic poison she secretes is enough to through the physical exterior of any object, animate or inanimate, and could easily vanquish if not dealt with immediately. Luna is able to creat up to five dark copies of other regular creatures at a time as opposed to just one, and these Clones, attracted to the dark nature broiling and bubbling within the reserves of her tainted soul will leap before her in desperation, to protect their delicate master from bodily harm. These dark clones can also be transformed into makeshift loopholes, into which Luna can disappear for up to a few minutes, and reappear again, oftentimes through another one, traversing through dark tunnels interlinked by the two dark masses' palpable minds. In daylight, it is easy to see where Luna will disappear and then reappear, limited to only five tunnels. But in a cave, or in the heart of the night, it will be hell to even distinguish the tunnel, one from the other, and find the girl, the only clue being given is her bold, shining eyes. The barrier of shields increases, in strength in durability, and is able to be created and solidified as walls of darkness either surrounding and entrapping the target, or serving as leverage for Luna to climb heights normally unaccessible to her. These walls shatter with a good deal of force, and form into sharp shards, like glass, if crashed through by the nemesis, but, if broken by Luna, are just absorbed back into the blackness of her being, and provide her back with the energy she expended to make them. As for the dreams she could willingly fight and perish in, as well as experience, in this final stage, Luna is able to change the mood of the dreams, and the content, and either plague the person with realistic nightmares so grotesque and real, the person not even having to be asleep to experience the horrific hallucinations of dark matter, could die of fright just by seeing them. But that's not the best part. These hallucinations often turn out to be the object of the target's worst fear, and lower the morale of the offender, distracting them to the point of intimidation as a decoy while Luna attacks the target more directly while the target is immobilized by fear, the "Arachnid" of all the Pokemorphs. Also, as a bonus, in this stage, ordinary people or Pokemon exhibiting dark emotions too strong are, like the Clones, involuntarily under control of Luna, though she won't call on innocent civilians to fight her battles unless she will otherwise lose, and/or their safety is at stake. In this stage, little physical stage is noted in Luna, and no physical alteration is noticed in the other two and a half stages. In this stage, her eyes, like the eyes of her precious dark copies, are transfigured into deep, dark bottomless voids of darkness, and the icy features on her face become frozen in place, as if carved in stone, as her entire body locks down and proceeds to function under one law, one rule: The rule of survival of the fittest.
Personality: When Luna isn't too consumed by her latter prmal phases, the stages of transformation regarding her dark powers that swallow her whole, her heart, soul, and all emotion, wiping clean the slate of human nature, and forcing her to turn her back on humanity by climbing down the throat of heartlessness, Luna is actually a sweet and tender individual. Her nature is one that can't easily be described in words, as depending who or what she is around, her attitude can change in an instant, from a morose and gloomy demeanor to an upbeat and perky personality, and contradict itself completely. But when left to herself, and her own thoughts, and when interacting with people she hasn't yet made the acquaintence of, Luna is prone to freezing up, and shrinking away from all that opposes her, her natural defense to cower, and protect all her vital weak points while letting the offender attack her until neither he or she can take it anymore, and the abuser either goes away, or she is forced to jump up and lash out. She seems oblivious to the masses of dark energy that are naturally drawn to her, and ever swirling her, and if left alone, she will continue along dancing to the beat of her own drum in her merry little world of naivety, amusing herself with her own thoughts and dark humors, and admiring through wary eyes the exotic beauty of the world Arceus crafted for them around her. But the affects of the energy, felt by the sensitive Human and Pokemon instincts around Luna, are crushing, for though the people don't dare glare and whisper until she is well out of sight, she, a master of fear, can still taste it in their pool of emotions as they stare down at her, like she is the lowliest of the low creature, an Ariados or a Zubat, helpful to the survival of Humankind, but still a grotesque and appalling sight to behold. In fact, most Human don't wish to behold her, and the irritation and mistrust gleaming in their hard, cold eyes, as well as the way that every creature recoils with disgust when there's the first hint that they may have to come into physical contact with the Lunar Goddess, when small children, who have always been known to be natural indicators of a person's nature, flee instantaneously from her, eyes wide and flaring, same as Pokemon, who Luna, at the very least suspected would be understanding and pitying of herself. The girl doesn't seem to naturally fit in anywhere, but the dark and enchanted forests, for in the broad public daylight, she appears too frail, and sickly, and simply pathetic to even be walking, much less guarding over the human kind without the assistance of a walker, or a wheelchair. At night, if in view of the few venterous souls who steal out into the darkness, assisted by the penetration of her piercing eyes and the illuminated yellow rings, Luna's Umbreon instincts kick in, and she is revered as the Predator of the night, the kind who preys on small children and steals puppies out of backyards, the nighttime slasher, even though she is just as harmless as the misunderstood Absol trying to warn the areas of natural disaster. Luna is much the same way, for if sensing a conspiring darkness in one's heart toward another unsuspecting Human or Pokemon victim, she will try to jump to the rescue, succeeding in chasing away the actual perpetrator, but becoming the villain in the person she had saved, and being accused, violently oftentimes, of attempted crime. Most of the time, Luna doesn't even try to defend herself, vanishing from where she isn't wanted, optimistically instead of glumly seeking a different place, different people, who will embrace her with open arms. A sweet individual, Luna demands no pity parties from the unkind races she protects, and instead pities them, for all the harsh realities they have to face and brave day after day. She faces each day with a blessed and grateful smile, just to be alive and in good health, and when accepted by anyone or anything, will devote herself silently as a faithful ally and protector for life. Anything that shows even the tiniest inkling of kindness toward her she indebts herself to for life, and falls fast for, often becoming too attached too fast. On the contraire, though, she is horrible at expressing her feelings toward a person efficiently, and will more often than not grace them with small acts of kindness, helping them in whatever small way she can. She loves flowers, and anything derived from nature, and pities the plants as if they are people if they are burned or frozen similarly, and, though her attempts are feeble, tries her best to help them whenever they show similar signals of distress. Her passions for flowers, as with most things about her, are prevented by her very dark nature, as whenever she tries to shyly caress the perfect lifeforms, her touch instinctively draws the delicate life from them, as the plants, having neither the thought nor the willpower to resist, as humans and Pokemon do, as she siphns the only force that sustains them to nourish herself with. As you would imagine, this breaks Luna's heart, and so, she has vowed to gaze and admire from afar, to look but not touch, with any part of her body, which actually proves to be quite difficult. The same goes for any grass-type Pokemon, though these pokemon are more resistant than their simpler root-bound kin, as they are half animal. She has noticed that she can still take at least a third of the original energy from these types of Pokemon, and so, not wanting to unnecessarily harm a single blade of grass, she refrains from touching them as well. She also adores Pokemon, of all kinds, and all types, though few, as mentioned before, will grow to overcome her overpowering negative vibes, and love and trust her. She would give everything in a heartbeat to protect a Pokemon, just as fast as she would a Human, and is only enraged seemingly, when one or the other is being abused mercilessly by another. All in all, she is a peacemaker, and loathes conflict, though if caught in the middle of it, she will direct all feelings of nastiness to herself, in order for all the hate to be washed away from the others' heart, at her own expense.
RP Sample:
Darkrai stared on, emotionless, as Radian simply fell through the form of her brother, and landed once again in the hellish flames that filled her nightmare. Jumping up, Radian shook her fur out, despair replacing her newfound joy and settling over her face as the form of the young boy only stared into mournfully into Radian's bright eyes. Radian's heart nearly broke at the sight of her brother, again in so much pain, his eyes still the same from the night he had last stared up at her and uttered her name.
"Alfonse.." Radian whispered, all traces of joy now forgotten. Alfonse's face hadn't changed in the slightest last time she had gazed upon it, the skin was the same blistering red, having been scorched from the fire. His hands and feet were burned and scarred horribly in a similar fashion, and his hair, once a thick luscious mane of beautiful brown curls had all fallen out, the few sparse patched left being singed with black. He still wore his bedclothes from that night, and as it had been some time since the tragedy, Radian's heart tore open at the sight, a sight to which she had prayed countless times never to have to witness again. Her lower lip quivering, Radian simply stared forward trance-like, her golden eyes pooling sorrowfully to the brim with tears. Darkrai smirked menacingly, charcoal eyes glowing happily as he knew that he had Radian in his clutches now.
Hook, line, and Sinker. He thought with a cackle, as he made the transparent form of the boy step forward toward the little Eevee.
Radian.. Alfonse smiled down at her, before hesitating, pausing as if to catch his breath.
Radian, please. He seemed to beg. Help me! I'm trapped down here, and it's a horrible place to be! I'm all alone.. At this, tears spilled from the boy's miserable eyes, and he pressed his hands, laced thickly with scars, against his charred face. Radian's heart wavered at the sight, and immediately, she ran forward, trying desperately to wrap her furry little arms around the boy, but failing as she only fell through his form.
Don't cry, Alfonse.. She begged tearfully, her entire body beginning to tremble as she was interrupted by a giant sob. She swiped quickly at her eyes, and just stood anxiously at her brother's side, eyes darting around panicked as her heart rate elevated, and her head began to swim. She felt as if she were about to pass out.
OOC: And... it's done, GP! =D Give it a read, and tell me what you think about it, okay? ^^;
