Creator: deleted32
Roleplay: The Grand Arena
Nickname:
Name: Calytrix Aclhys
Age: 16
Pronouns: Shae/umbre/tenebris, lux/lumen
Appearance: Calytrix makes a rather non-threatening figure, barely standing above four feet and ten inches.
Umbre’s choice of attire is a robe that’s light purple with golden comet shapes on one side, and dark purple with golden star shapes on the other. In the middle of the clothing is a crescent moon.
When shae’s not wearing that, lux dons an iridescent galaxy colored tuxedo.
You’ll always find Calytrix accessorized with a gold or silver necklace adorned with dark blue sapphires or purple amethysts, and a gold or silver bracelet with carnelian, galaxy opal, and dark blue diamonds.
Lux’s most unusual features however, are lumens pale lavender skin, and spikey mop of hair that’s a mesh of silver and gold combined into a pale dusty brown.
Personality: Calytrix comes across as a well-mannered, and sweet with a certain air of innocence about lumen. Lux is inexorably curious, and loves figuring out how the world works. However, if one spends enough time around Calytrix they’ll discover that all the light shae projects is a facade. In reality there’s a deep running shadow within lumen, some much darker, hidden drive.
Brief History:
The circumstances of Calytrix’s birth is a mystery. Some say lux was born in the heart of a supernova. Other theories say shae is an immortal being, who lived on an astroid by lumenself.
What is known was that one day Mr and Mrs Aclhys discovered a purple skinned child on their doorstep and decided to raise lumen as their own.
However, one day, a horrible accident in lumens mother’s labratory took umbraes life. Lumens father promptly demanded that his wife stop her research, believing it to be of the devil.
He prayed none-stop for Calytrix’s resurrection but to no avial. Then he caught whisperers that said if the lord couldn’t give you what you wanted then there’s an evil, a ‘Great Attractor’ as they called it, among the stars who could. For a price of course.
He got his daughter back, only lumen had changed.
Shae had a newfound new command over photons and other subatomic particles and energy fields.
The revival completely altered umbraes behavior as well. Lux retained that child-like air of curiosity and innocence. But now, shae didn’t just seem hungry to know about the world. Lux seemed to have developed a new found desire to destroy it.
Fighting Style: Calytrix is definitely a long range specialist, with an affinity for using trickery and deceit. With lumen, the first move is always some sort of deception. Shae never engages with combat directly, preferring to use minions for umbraes dirty work.
Weapon: Calytrix’s many gemstones aren’t just for show-shae uses them to summon Tenebre, and Lucerna. Tenebre represents lumens negative emotions and is a silver winged cat with dark purple star-like markings that seem to form a night sky pattern, Lucerna represents her positive emotions and is golden winged cat with the same markings, only in a lighter shade of purple.
Lux always fights using them.
Abilities:
Calytrix’s can use shadows around umbraes environment to possess someone, then control them, or poison them. Additionally, lux can use umbraes shadow to incinerate obstacles.
In contrast to the destructive capabilities of umbraes shadow manipulation, lux can change the structure of light to create anything shae desires. This power doesn’t just apply to photons, it extends to any particle.
Lux’s preferred use of this skill is usually to create hallucinations, or visions, but lux can create projectiles such as solar flares, gamma radiation, lightning, and various elements.
Calytrix does have one ‘ultimate’ ability lux uses when shae has no other option-‘Devine Quartet.’
Essentially, shae fuses with Tenebre or Lucerna to create an unstoppable force.
When lux fuses with Tenebre shae can create a singularity or black-hole.
When shae fuses with Lucerna lux can compress matter into strange form.
Strengths: Calytrix has excellent long range capabilities, coupled with adaptability. Shae keeps in open minds and enjoys figuring out how to escape tough spots. Lux also does well against smaller light-weight projectiles.
Weaknesses:
There’s a reason Calytrix always makes Tenebre or Lucerna fight for lumen-shae is horrible at close range combat, and not to mention dwarf-sized. Lux has next to no physical strength. If anything shae gets out of breath quickly when forced to move for too long.
Additionally, lumens shadow abilities only work within a medium-to close range to umbraes target.
Tangentially to that, Lux has a propensity for getting overconfident in battle and lacks self-awareness. Calytrix’s most terminal weakness however, is lumen’s one great strength-the Devine Quartet. Using that move takes out all of shae’s energy, and pushes lumen into a near death state, if it doesn’t completely destroy lumen. Even if shae does land a hit, umbrae won’t be able to summon Lucerna or Tenebris 24 hours after using the attack, forcing lumen to engage in hand to hand combat. If Calytrix’s opponent survives it’s over for umbrae.
This ties into another weakness-a lack of emotional regulation. Despite lux’s outwardly composed demeanor, it's easy to get Calytrix riled up. And the more enraged umbrae is, the more lux loses control.
What’s interesting about that is lumens trump card move requires intense focus, otherwise the attack will turn on umbrae,
Finally, while smaller light-weight projectiles are no problem for umbrae, heavier, close range ones can present a difficulty.
An environment you struggle in: Terrain with dense, heavy weight elements that take more energy to manipulate and areas with either, completely in shadows or without shadows.
An environment you excel in: An environment filled with light, easier to manipulate elements and an equal balance of darkness and light
