"This ain't no ordinary magic, and no ordinary magician!"

0 · 442 views · located in Elisonia Nexus

a character in “Gate Aethera”, as played by MartinVole

Description

Name: Luci Sue Ruviae

Nicknames: Rabbit, Bunny, Freckles, Lulu, Sue

Age: 15

Height: 5'2 (8'6)

Weight: 115lbs (340lbs)

Eye Color: Pink (true form has black sclera)

Hair Color: Red

Skin: Caucasian, freckles

Species: Eldritch, "Cursed Child of the First Mother"

Strengths: Self-healing and durable, possesses a high amount of unelemental aethera, agile and flexible allowing elegant parkour even in true form

Weaknesses: Young and yet undeveloped, feint hearted, easily distracted

Abilities: Shape-shifting, utilizes pure aethera manifesting as bursts of pure force, can make things appear to disappear by placing them within the folds of aethera masking their existence, is strongly tied to "deception" and as such can detect lies, generates "warped space" upon desperation.

Personality:

An energetic optimist, looking towards the brighter side of life even to the point of denial. She too is a borderline exhibitionist, drawn towards the stage to perform her unique magic for the entertainment value, occasionally putting on the street show: "Sue's Show of the Strange". She has little desire to be held back or hidden, preferring honesty to herself even if it risks her person. She is shown to have intellect, but chooses to be frivolous and playful, and is wide eyed and curious about all things to pestering levels. Slow to anger, easy to humor, and high energy are also strong traits.

Background:

She was found in infancy among the snow and shattered crystal shards of her egg in the northern tundra by the Lylang hermit, Uki Ruviae. Uki raised her as her own child regardless of knowing exactly what manner of being the infant was, naming her Luci Sue, meaning "Light Lily". She would be raised as any child, in hopes that this influence would curb the destructive nature of her cursed bloodline, being a cross between the First Moth, and the Solemn Vow (an Eldritch who despises all life).

As Luci grew up, she too grew restless, stunted by the lonely tundra. This forced Uki to reluctantly move south into the cities, daring to risk the introduction of such a creature into society. Over time the creature grew in the guise of a human girl, hiding almost all of her more bestial traits, to the residents she would seem little more than a bright-eyed teen with an oral fixation and a love of wearing a large bow tie. In reality, a large rabbit-like creature with a long long prehensile tail.

So begins...

Luci Sue Ruviae's Story

Over the grand city, daytime brings forth with it a bustle of activity upon both land and air. Above airships of commercial and private use are seen elegantly traversing the buildings casting shadows over those below. On land the silvery and white train speeds through upon aethertech rails leaving behind a pale bluish trail. The populace, gathering at the park, and lining the sidewalks are a highly diverse mix of racial heritages.

Within the park, Luci Sue sets up her stage in the usual flair: seemingly materializing it out of thin air, red curtains first leaving them afloat momentarily, then the stage itself, a quaint little wooden structure like those used by magicians of old. As her usual flair, an entrance that was not in some way dramatic would be a sin against her audience. Today, she would materialize her hands and bow first, disembodied white-gloved hands adjusting it as the rest of her body materialized outwards. The red-headed and freckled youth grinned showing her large front teeth, she took a bow to the audience. She was dressed in a black magician's suit clearly meant for a man somewhat larger than her.

"Greetings, one and all to Sue's Show of the Strange, where anything is possible," she says enthusiastically, waving her hands as dramatically as possible. "And remember, while the show is free I ask that you donate in the box as proceeds go towards the less fortunate." She motions to an empty spot in front of her stage, noticing this her eyes grow wide and snaps a finger causing a donation box to materialize. She unwrapped some gum chuckling nervously as some people laugh, believing it was part of the show.

"And remember, the unknown is nothing to fear, as it makes life interes-" she said, suddenly cut off by a ringing in her ears and a sudden pain within her skull. She gripped her head and became immediately nauseous.

"Such wasted potential in this one," a distorted voice boomed inside her head, inducing pain with each word. "Barely shining above the transient dust that surrounds it... and yet perhaps still of some utility."

The voice fades, the sensation passing, she looks out blankly among the crowd, shaking. The audience looked on with various expressions of confusion as her nose began to bleed. She wipes a finger across her nose and looks down at it, then chuckles nervously again. "W-well, no worries, I'm absolutely fine, little more than a case of... of aetheric recoil," she said, but her uncertainty was clear. "Such magic would be quite taxing for most, afterall." With this, she wiped her nose with a handkerchief and proceeded with the show as per normal routine.

As Zane leaves the scene, a blue flame lights above the drained victim as a ghostly dark figure looms hunched over the corpse. It was Death himself, Hazarmaveth in the flesh... or some equivalent to it. He phases in and out of the visible plane as an airship passes overhead, the disruptions created likely being the only reason they can be seen to begin with. "Such a terrible fate," the figure mutters in a distorted voice, before pulling out some ghostly light within the body. He pauses, at the same time as the incident with Luci then watches the airship, a sense of fear in his tone. "Asriy'el..?" With this his form distorts and he is simply... gone.

Elsewhere Luci had to call her show off early, still disoriented from the voice. She was having a sudden difficulty in maintaining her human form, likely from distress, her hands reverting to claws. She had decided to head over to an abandoned lot by her house to try to sort through her thoughts, maybe the silence would prove beneficial. Beyond that, it offered some privacy in case she reverted. She collapses into the grass and breathes deep.

"I am fine and I am not going crazy," she mutters to herself, shifting around her pink eyes. "And I don't get sick so... I really heard some creepy guy..."

Zane was still pretty hungry, and it was not getting better. His....whatever....side was starting to kick in with his hunger, and it wanted him to eat. That fight caused him to get really hungry. He was drawn to the first smell of food he found, and as a result, more trouble. Because Zane was that trouble prone. But also, the trouble he found was a few demons harassing a hotdog cart. They were lower level, mindless demons. Imps, basically. But there were a lot of them. And they were eating hotdogs, which meant Zane had to handle this before it got out of hand.

As he approached though, things started to get out of the hand when one of the Imps got five times larger, and started to look at Zane as his next meal. Something you should know about Imps: Snack Food like hotdogs and chips makes them temporarily larger and stronger. Zane took out a simple pole, and had a red glare in his eyes. "You...dare....harm my lunchcart?!?!" The owner looked at him with half hope, half fear.

Several of the imps charged right at him, only for them all to get hit by that small pole simultaneously. All five of them. The pole extended outward, branched out, and bent around. Suddenly, his tail shapeshifted into a large spike, and dug itself into the ground. Under each Imp, a spike emerged, shooting upward and getting a good portion of the imps. There was a bloodthirst in his eyes now though, Eldritch or Demonic in nature, definitely a sign he was getting even more hungry. And so, his tail shape shifted again, reaching over to the hot dog cart, grabbing four hot dogs, and eating all four of them one after another, before facing the large imp. "Alright asshole. Time to die". Clearly, the madness was still affecting him to a degree.

The large imp charged at him with ungodly speed, but Zane blocked his attack with one fist. He then swept the legs of the imp, and kicked it into the air. "Alright! Any last words? No? Then....Origin Blast!" He then hit the imp with enough direct energy to vaporize it. He then immediately faced the hot dog stand salesman. "So, can I have some more hot dogs? And can they all be free for helping you out?" he asked with a smile, while his tail stayed in blade form without Zane realizing it.

He was that hungry. However, he did sense like he was missing something....something nearby had happened that was strange. Its just that feeling was eclipsed by hunger.

She had felt something, a sense of some surge of energy nearby had shook Luci, raising her head and looking across she sees a strange kid she hadn't seen before, surrounded in the carnage of what... used to be... some various... bats? Her right eye twitches and she had not realized she had let go of control for a moment, her hands reverting to claws. She nervously stuffs gum in her mouth. The sclera of her eyes blacken as she stares at the boy.

She slips around, using her disappearing act to hide herself from sight, to not only tail him, no pun intended, but also to remain hidden until she fixes her... problem. She slips around while like this checking him over as closely as possible. Not that he'd be able to tell she's there... at least, she hoped not. She finds herself fixated on his tail for a moment, at first not sure if it is real.

"Ah, it moved," she says excitedly, promptly covering her mouth. Soon afterwards her own tail, springs forth knocking over a post box causing the hotdog salesman to jump. To him it was like ghosts were now haunting him now with the disembodied voice and objects flying. She almost uttered an apology, stopping herself by keeping her mouth covered, noticing more and more her human guise is dissipating. At least the stealth is remaining... for now.

Zane, now that he was all fed up, had the strange feeling something was nearby...watching him. Or maybe it was the dead bodies of the Imps? He turned his tail into an incineration cannon, and turned all the Imp bodies to ash except for the biggest. It had apparently not only survived, but was trying to crawl away. His tail turned it a blade, and slit its throat. "How was that thing still alive?"

Still, he got a strange feeling something was nearby. He looked around, but saw nothing. A cloak spell? Or just hidden? He chuckled. "Or maybe I am just being paranoid".

He continued walking, now all full on food, and figured it was time for some fun. But what to do? He had no idea where Zeke was. Everyone else was either busy, out of town, afraid of him, or got eaten during the troll attack at school last week. He guessed he could see what was going on at the basketball courts, but if anyone was there he could play with was unknown. But he did really love basketball.

He shrugged, and continued walking through the crowds, as people gave him shocked looks about his tail. But he was used to those. "I swear, I know its strange, but I am 60 percent sure its not the strangest thing these people have seen".

Luci watches as he executes the imps. Even if they were base creatures, she still felt a level of squeamishness as the big one bled out. She wouldn't fault it though, it was like taking out rats more than anything... if rats were bigger nastier things with rows of sharp pointy teeth. She's intrigued though, and continues to follow him with her hands behind her back. Not like anyone would see her doing it but while behind him starts doing various gestures like giving him bunny ears to amuse herself.

"I know, right? For the most part you look normal enough compared to other things, a tail is a pretty petty thing to hang up over," she blurts out, no longer caring that she's supposed to be shadowing him. Some people stumble over her tail, looking bewildered, unable to see it. "People tend to lie to themselves to sustain a sense of... normality."

"Right now I could totally have that tail thing beat, and it'd be hilarious!"

Zane was not one hundred percent sure, but he was fairly sure someone was following him while he kept moving. Maybe it was the mysterious collisions. Maybe it was just his paranoia? It could have been anything. However, when the person actually spoke to him, he almost broke up into laughter about how bad this person was at following.

"Well that is probably because they know what most of those things are. They don't know what I am. Hell, I don't know what I am" Zane mentioned. Oh great, now it looks like I am talking to myself... "And why are you still invisible anyways?"

What was strange was that Zane still could not shake off the idea that someone ELSE was following him as well.

"Honestly? I'm a bit embarrassed to say but I've lost control of my... form, and I'm becoming... me... and I'm even less something people want to see right now, ow!" As she was speaking a large beastkin male steps on her tail causing her to lift it, flipping the guy into he air, she panics, catching him before he slams face first into the pavement and sets him back up. The beastkin looks bewildered for a moment, turning to a man next to him, a trained mage by his clothes, the beaskin grits his teeth and punches him. She nervously begins stuffing more gum in her mouth. "O-oh no..."

The mage prepares to strike the man back but suddenly black things start to fly through the air around them. They look around in confusion, the air is actually... filled with them. They resemble butterflies made of shadows. A chill fills the air a lone female figure walks down the road surrounded by these... butterflies, her face obscured by long black hair, she is dressed in a ragged dress, once ornate, like for a wedding. She was tall, but she seemed still like a young adult at most. She is holding her head, swaying back and forth. Upon further inspection, her shadow cast is actually... massive. As she gets closer, she seems to be darkening in color herself, splotches appearing in her skin. She buckles over and falls to her hands and knees.

An officer approaches reluctantly. "Miss, are you... alright," he asks. He looks back to the gathered crowd then gets ready to radio this in. Before he could utter a word, the girl screams, shattering the windows near her, and suddenly sprouts an extra set of arms, one of which throws the man back slamming him into a crowd of people. Her eyes are revealed, burning bright yellow, looking wild. The butterflies vaporize and suddenly black hands begin spawning up from the spreading shadows. It becomes clear the girl is the source.

"Remember when I said I'm even less something people want to see?" Luci says as her cloaking fades away revealing her halfway into transformation, her eyes wide staring at the weird four-armed lady. "Well um... nevermind that... anymore... I don't think anyone will notice me... anymore..."

Zane didn't have much time to respond before a scene exploded on the streets. It was something horrifying, powerful, and clearly deadly. Something that made him both want to fight and flee at the same time. But when he saw the shadows, he realized that at least at the moment, he had no way of knowing how to fight this thing. He quickly turned the other direction. "Run! Just run....uhh, never got your name".

Before Zane could get a reply though, he started running. He turned a corner with (hopefully) Luci right behind him, when he ran into a group of people suffering from some sort of large emotional state. Normally, this would be okay, if it wasn't for the fact one of them had a golem. Golem's respond to how their owner's feel as well as think, but they process feelings differently then humans or humanoids. Between it's owner's high emotional state, and the affect this magic was having on the golem itself, caused it to be a little confused....and view the first few new people it sees as hostile. Mainly, Zane and Luci.

"Quickly, dodge!" he yelled as he got out of the way of the Golem's magical defense cannon. It then tried to smash Zane, but he blocked it with his tail, which had turned to steel. However, despite this, it still hurt a lot. Zane jumped back up, and launched a large magical lighting blast at it, but it was a really well built golem. Probably its owner extensively modded it with Arcana Crystals. What he was using it for, Zane had no clue though.

The Golem launched more attacks at Zane and Luci, and nearly got Zane. He quickly got on his two feet, and took position facing towards the Golem.

"All right, guess I have to go all out! Circle of Flame, Resolute Destruction!" he yelled as he drew a circle of fire in front of him and then clapped his hands together in front of him. He then made a motion to push outwards quickly, causing several beams of fire to launch out of the circle. The sheer power caused the golem to try and dodge the attack instead of enduring it, recognizing the danger. However, the streams of fire turned and tracked the Golem, maneuvering around obstacles. Now, if it had been more agile or smaller, maybe it might have had a chance to dodge the tracking firestreams, but being a golem, despite being able to dodge, it was still a slow and big enough target to get hit by every single firestream. Once they impacted, they exploded, doing massive damage.

The golem was highly damaged, but despite all that, it started to shamble back to its feet. At this point, Zane could tell this needed to be ended quickly. He channeled a ton of magic into his tail as it turned into a blade, and the magic sword he just summoned, and crossed them. "Ultimate Negation! Cross Soul Slash!"

Both blades hit the target with plenty of force and power, but no physical damage seemed to have been done. However, the Golem collapsed soon after. "It only works on an injured target. I kinda just reset the Golem, though it will need to recharge. Works on people too, though sometimes with an odd affect".

He looked back towards the street. "Now, lets get out of here, and you can tell me what that was exactly when we are safe".

Luci followed him to the rampaging golem, she showed little fear of the large rampaging automaton. Unlike a real person its movements were very telegraphed, dancing between its attacks were not an issue compared to an actual person. Of course, the dancing was actually part of Lylang martial arts she learned from her mother. She was far more worried about the instigator, who now floods the streets in her shadows.

She was briefly broken from her thoughts when Zane pulled off some odd powerful spells decimating the golem. She attempts to speak at first but it comes out as a mumbling mess due to how much gum she had stuffed her mouth with earlier. She spits it out and tries again. "Where did you learn those spells, and what do you mean odd effect?" She shakes her head, figuring that is the least of concerns at the moment and looks up. "First off, safe is above ground level."

With a series of nimble maneuvers, first running up the side of a house, bouncing off onto a street light, then flipping from the street light to a fire escape then climbing up and kicking down the ladder. She motions for him to come up and starts scaling up the building. "Secondly: Those are not actual shadows, more like psychological manifestations through subconscious manipulations of aethera, it is composed of some strong negative emotions that seem to be projecting on others," she says before realizing how overly complex it is to word it that way. "Um, it is really bad mojo that is harshing everyone's vibe."

"Finally, that is one of my sisters, and this is only stage one."

Zane was still sort of processing what she was saying. Sisters? Stage one? Origin of learning those spells? Safe? Shadows? Ungodly approaching darkness? It was a lot to process in one day. So much so, that his tail decided to grow helicopter blades at the end of it and flew him up to safety.

"Yeah, this tail? Its pretty much a universal tool" he mentioned to her, still sorta stupefied at the sister part. "So wait, she is your sister? Your....sister? But, how? You two look nothing alike, and you give off completely different magical signatures from what I can tell! Are you two just total opposites or something?"

"Also, maybe we should also get some distance as well as height from here?" he said, still not sure how to react to the whole sister's thing. "Oh, but as for the magic, I taught myself it. I have had a lot of practice".

(Sorry for the big delay, I have been busy with whatnots)

Zeke looked out to see something happening far away. But all that could wait just a few minutes, because he had come across something interesting. A group of people, looking for Zane. They had been whispering in a dark alley, which is usually where Zeke found suspicious people to satisfy his demonic impulses. His demon form was a little hard to look at, so if he ever used it, a dark alley would be ideal to be in already.

The hunters had been something special, but he defeated them all. WHat kind of demon would he be if he couldn't defeat a few thugs, evne if they had high quality magic and weapons. "Now, tell me, why were you looking for Zane?"

"Oh, are you a friend of his?" another hunter asked, walking into the alley. This one was different though, he sent a shiver down Zeke's spine. Usually, Zeke did that to other people. In fact, his dark aura was intense, almost as intense as whatever creature was terroring the people a few blocks away. There was no way he could let this guy regroup with the others at full strength, he had to knock him down now. "Well then, maybe we can lure him in by killing you! He is one of a kind after all, and that makes him a rare species that will be hunted by the greatest hunter!"

Supernatural Creature HUnters. He figured thats what they were. Zeke let loose his dragon wings, to bring some terror into the man he faced. He also turned his eyes red. "Trust me, you should run away now".

"Oh, so your a dragon huh? Maybe I will hang your head in my living room!" he shouted, as he released a large amount of scarabs. This was old Egyptian magic, this hunter was powerful. However, as this fight started, Zeke sensed something coming. He immediately flew up above the street, and the man jumped via magic onto the rooftops as shadows started to swarm the streets and the alleys. He saw two others nearby, but they were far away, and right now, he had this asshole to deal with.

(I wasn't sure what to type, so I figured I would at least establish him in the same area)

Luci stared at Zane, realizing she just dropped a bomb on his head with blurting that out. She's never been good at lying. Honesty is a virtue, sure, but some things sound weird when they are just blurted out. Some dark harbinger of deception she was. "Oh geez, I'm sorry... I'll explain later... yeah," she says rolling her eyes to change the subject and holds out her hand to grab his. "I'm Luci Ruviae by the way, and I really hope you don't get motion sick."

It soon became clear as she grabbed hold of Zane by the waist and made a series of mighty leaps up to the top of an apartment building overlooking the streets below. Not winded in the least she looks down at the woman below, hands and knees looking pathetic in a pool of shadows. "Heh, maybe sis fell back asleep, she's harmless when she's asleep," she whispers to Zane. then the woman suddenly looks up at them, eyes piercing yellow within blackness, above those another set of eyes open up. Luci felt something grip her in her chest, and her stomach knotted up. "She's awake... she's very very awake."

With that a surge of the darkest aether is felt for miles. Various equipment malfunction as sensations of being alone and terrified... of losing everything... sensations the deepest despair. All of this flooded from the woman like a broken dam. The look in her eyes changed from fury to clarity, tilting her head some and looking at her hand, the shadows adhering to it like glue. As she averted her eyes, clarity turned to fear. The shadows, like a black liquid the darkness crawled up over her, up her arms and legs, down her spine, all in the form of hand, a long bone tail shoots out from the base of her spine, and the shadowy arms spiral and twist together giving it "meat" with a sickening squish. Her hair growing out long and wild, her body... overall growing tremendously, her ears grow out long and pointed, facial features elongate and twist, her hands, all four of them, grow out long nails and arms grow out lanky. Her once fair skin now blotched in patched of darkness. She raised onto her knees and held her head like she were in pain letting out a shriek, at first sounding human but soon it too turned up twisted as well, the ground below her cracking and quaking. It had sunk in at this point when she stood up, propping herself onto the top of a convenience store with one set of arms, crushing down a car with the other, and busting out the side of a clothing shop with her tail that... she's really... really... huge. Her long stringy hair flows violently as if in a turbulent breeze as the shadows spread out more violently than before, street lights and people begin sinking down into the blackness.

"You're right... we should get far... far away," she says in a strained voice, her legs feeling weak.
