Luciel Ataraxia.

• Name: Luciel Ataraxia.
• Role: "Patriarch" of the Ataraxia Dukedom. Knight.
• Age: Unknown (many rebirths).
• Height: 6'1"

Luciel's Background:

• A "champion" chosen by the Phoenix itself many centuries ago. Luciel has been roaming the lands for more time than he can remember, his eternal youth—resembling a 19-year-old—is the last piece of his power. Luciel has died and reborn many times, countless times. And every single one of them strengthened his connection with the Phoenix, to the point where he has become a Phoenix himself. The Phoenix acknowledged this and permitted it; its chosen champion fulfilled his decree and became strong enough to become a Phoenix of his own.

House Ataraxia.

• The Noble Ataraxia family does exist... And doesn't at the same time. The state where they live is genuine and an architecture that has been existing for decades, but the staff members actually don't exist. They all are nothing, but projections and physical puppets created by Luciel himself, with him, of course, being the only being that truly exists. Valerius Ataraxia, the supposed patriarch of House Ataraxia, is exactly that, a magical puppet made by Luciel, the wife, the siblings, every single person, maid, Butler, stable caretaker, all of them are puppets. Reason why the Ataraxia state never truly recruits people, Luciel simply changes the appearance of the puppets from time to time.

• Real People in the state: Star Ataraxia, The Undying. Nebula and Lucina Ataraxia, the twins. Raven Ataraxia, The Eternal Protector.

• Luciel is a knight, he uses a sword as his main weapon, though, it doesn't mean he can't use many different kinds of weapons.

Luciel's Appearance:

• Luciel has waist-length black hair with black eyes with a small flame always lingering in his pupils, courtesy of his Phoenix's heritage. A rather slim but toned body thanks to his swordsmanship training and a rather pale skin.
• He usually wears a regal uniform with him, with a golden necklace with a piece of amethyst in the center, and the Phoenix Crest.

Luciel's Personality:

• Archetype: The Gentle Paragon.
• Likes: Almost everything.
• Dislikes: Corruption and unfaithfulness.
• Luciel is very easygoing and soft-spoken, he speaks with a low voice that is almost paternal despite his youthful physical appearance. He gives advice, cares for everyone, and will encourage whoever is feeling down with his almost infinite wisdom. He knows about struggle, and he knows what are the burdens that people can go through all the time, so he understands, he helps, and he will give anyone a meaningful trip on his Phoenix Form to see the sky beyond the clouds.

Luciel's Weapon.

• Verdant King's Legacy.
  • Type: Living Greatsword.
  • Material: The heartwood of the ancient World-Tree, still faintly alive.

Traits:

• Nature's Wrath: Damage scales slightly with the health of natural environments nearby.
• Sylvan Regrowth: When planted in earth, the sword can create a temporary zone of rapid regeneration for the wielder.
• Thorn Guard: Automatically lashes out with thorny vines against ranged projectile attacks (30% chance to deflect).
• Appearance: A sword of dark, polished wood intertwined with glowing green veins, with leaves of solidified emerald sprouting along the flat of the blade.

This weapon was given to Luciel by the Verdant King, Lucius, an Elf who died long ago who was the protector of the World-Tree. Lucius created the sword for Luciel to protect the heartwood, using Luciel's flames to keep the seed alive and for it to nourish in life energy. When the time comes, Luciel will plant the sword on the most important place in the world and let the World-Tree regrow one more time, bringing the scattered Elves back to their rightful place.

Vein Profile

• Prime Vein Type: Solar Vein (royal/primordial)
• Vein Tier: Tier VII — Vein Transcendent
• Transcendent Aspect: Phoenix Ascendant (Category-Ω) — Luciel has fully manifested a Phoenix Transcendent Aspect: passive self-regeneration, domain of rekindling, and avatar-level solar sovereignty. ARVA marks his file as extremely restricted.
• Secondary Affinities: Verdant (weak) — reflected in his World-Tree sword — and Martial (naturally).

Signature Abilities (condensed, lore-friendly mechanics)

• Inferno Sovereign’s Dominion (Passive Domain): Luciel’s presence generates a living solar domain. Ambient temperature rises slightly; flora near his domain shows accelerated growth if sustained by his flame.
• Scorched Step (Toggle): Each footstep can scorch the earth in a short radius; toggled for etiquette or war. Scorched ground suffers reduced elemental resistance (narrative: brittle).
• Orbital Suns (Sustained): Conjures up to seven autonomous solar motes that patrol and strike—capable of persistent harassment until dismissed or Luciel sleeps.
• Cremation Waltz (Finale): A sacrificial detonation of all orbital suns into a concentrated nova. Luciel can survive due to Phoenix Ascendancy but emerges greatly weakened and in need of long-term renewal.
• Phoenix Rebirth (Transcendent Trait): When “killed” Luciel enters a cocooned dormancy; after a long period he is reborn. This is a mythic, campaign-defining event and not a trivial mechanic.

Nebula and Lucina Ataraxia.

• Name: Nebula Ataraxia.

• Gender: Male.

• Age: 19.

• Role: Mage.

• Height: 5'11"

• Name: Lucina Ataraxia.

• Gender: Female.

• Age: 19

• Role: Mage.

• Height: 5'9"

Nebula and Lucina's Background:

• Nebula and Lucina, were orphan who survived by mere miracle through the Snowy Plains as babies. Of course, they weren't alone after the abandonment, they were rescued by an Ancestral Dragon, which took care of the twins, nurturing, caring, and teaching. By this, Nebula and Lucina were taught a cryomancy that wasn't exactly normal. The name of the Ancestral Dragon was Mundus, The Aspect of Winter.

Nebula's Personality:

• Nebula is very distant and almost never showing any emotions, his time with Mundus was full of care and an ironic warmth, but when Mundus fused himself with Nebula and Lucina as a method of protection them against Glacial Monarch's Dominion's power, Nebula and Lucina felt a sudden emptiness in their chest that seemed to fade all their emotions, but even like this Nebula is not completely incapable of showing care and affection. This is clearly showed in the way he's protective of his twin sister, always staying by her side, helping her with anything, leaning into each other, knowing exactly what she likes to eat, and such.

Lucina Ataraxia:

• Personality: Lucina is just like her twin brother, both of them seemed like distant people who only rely on each other, but just like her twin, they can show affection through silent actions rather than words. She loves her brother, and they are seen together all the time.
• Background: Nebula and Lucina were abandoned by their parents many years ago on a dungeon. And after losing Mundus too the pain of loss is well engraved in both of them, reason why they always stay close to each other, making sure communication is natural and to keep track of each other, not wanting to lose each other at all.

Nebula Ataraxia and Lucina Ataraxia's situation:

• They joined the world purely because an echo of Mundus' voice resonated on their minds after the merge, which was a paternal caress to their existence, wanting Nebula and Lucina to live like normal humans, go to classes, know people, make friends, and live their life properly. This is the only motivation Nebula and Lucina have to join the world and act like normal people.

• They were found by Luciel during his expedition to the Snowy Plains, a few weeks after they had the merge with Mundus. Luciel took the twins with him and acted as their new Foster Father, giving them his last name as Ataraxia and brought them to the state. The twins usually pass the time with each other, sometimes with Star when they go to missions or play with the children on the orphanages, even if it was hard at the start, the twins managed to open up even if a little towards the children.

Nebula Ataraxia and Lucina Ataraxia's Appearance:

• Nebula uses a white uniform with teal accents, it is a slightly regal uniform that combines white and teal which goes with the colors that defined Mundus. Lucina uses the same clothes, just that the uniform had a skirt instead.
• Both Nebula and Lucina have shoulder-length blue hair with a gradient white hue at the edges, their eyes are a beautiful solid-ice blue hue.

---

Particularities:

• Whenever Nebula and Lucina are seen, they are always with an unnatural calmness and synchronicity to them, they will most of the time speak at the same time, move with that same sync, and will absolutely do the same actions in sync, be it sighing, rolling their eyes, narrowing their eyes, giving someone a look that clearly is accusatory. When not, they will finish each other's thought, give their talk after the other finished in rapid succession.
• Personality Archetype: The Unassumed Twins.
• Likes (Work for the Nebula and Lucina equally): Cold food, silence during a meal, staying close to each other.
• Dislikes: When people try to pull them apart (they will actually bite).

Dialogue Example: (Note: This is just an example and shouldn't be used VERBATIM.)

Nebula: Checking a pocket watch "Yeah, we're aware. Got distracted."

Lucina: "There was a cat."

Nebula: "Very important cat."

Lucina: "Needed attention."

Both: Simultaneously "Sorry."

Nebula: Cutting in "She's right though. We looked at the trade reports. Your family's brass import business would take like a fifteen percent hit. That's what this is actually about."

Lucina: "Which is fine. You're allowed to care about profit! Just say that instead of pretending it's about protecting craftsmen."

Nebula: "Way more honest."

Lucina: "Honesty is efficient."

Nebula: "Efficiency is good."

Lucina: "We like good things."

Nebula and Lucina's Weapons:

• Nebula's Weapon: Frostleaf Codex.

• Appearance: Bound in pale, supple leather that looks like birch bark, with silver clasps shaped like frozen vines. The pages are thin, translucent vellum that crackles softly when turned.

• Traits:

  • Arctic Clarity: Grants the wielder enhanced focus and mental fortitude in combat, reducing the effects of mental interference or panic-based debuffs.
  • Rime-Scribe’s Insight: Dramatically accelerates the learning speed of Cryomancy spells and skills. A C-Rank ice spell could be mastered in days instead of weeks.
  • Permafrost Vault: Contains three pre-loaded, one-time-use B-Rank spells: Glacial Prison (single-target immobilization), Hailstorm (AoE barrage), Frostwave (conical blast).

• Provenance: Authored by a reclusive ice sage who lived atop the Never-Thaw Peaks.

• Lucina's Weapon: Tome of the Crystalline Lattice.

• Appearance: A heavy grimoire with covers of polished, deep blue crystal. It feels cold and impossibly smooth to the touch. Geometric patterns etched into the crystal glow with a soft blue light.

• Traits:

  • Lattice Weaver: Allows for the creation of complex ice constructs—walls, bridges, simple golems—that are far more durable than standard ice magic.
  • Resonance Cascade: Ice spells have a chance to create a secondary “echo” effect, dealing a portion of the original damage to a nearby target.
  • Shatterpoint Analysis: Reveals structural weaknesses in enemies and objects, increasing critical hit chance against targets affected by your ice magic.

• Provenance: Forged by the Crystal Scribes of the Glacial Spire, a lost order of mage-artificers.

Vein Profile (shared & unique)

• Prime Vein Type: Cryo Veins (newly codified; closely allied to Verdant/Elemental categories but distinct)
• Vein Tier: Tier IV — Vein Master (demonstrated ability to create sustained Vein Aura and area effects)
• Secondary Affinity: Arcane (Temporal Echo subset) — explains their Zero Paradox time-lagged ice clones. ARVA regards this as unusual and labels for long-term observation.
• Unique Trait: Sympathetic Resonance — when the twins act together, their Vein output stacks multiplicatively (rare twin-synergy; ARVA registry notes compartmentalization is recommended).

Signature Abilities (shared & twin-synced):

• Permafrost Sovereignty (Area Aura): A passive field that slows and chills foes — stacks over time. Toggleable for social situations (in public, they mask it).
• Zero Paradox (Temporal Cryo Technique): Phase-through retaliation creates ice-clone echoes that detonate after a short delay—an Arcane-modified cryo technique. ARVA caution: temporal echoes can create paradox residues; use is monitored.
• Winter’s Whisper (Soul-Freeze): A short, focused effect halting regenerative processes—useful in duels vs. blood-menders or abyssal-tainted foes.
• Pocket Vault (Artifact): Each twin has a small extradimensional cache keyed to their paired signature.

Raven Ataraxia.

• Name: Raven Ataraxia.
• Age: 23.
• Gender: Male.
• Role: Knight - Protector.
• Height: 6'0"

Raven Ataraxia's Background.

• Raven is an orphan commoner, born to unknown parents and raised on the slums. Even with that, Raven never saw the world like something cruel, he grew up always standing on the light, his conviction and personality were flawless, and he never resorted to thievery or crimes to survive. Instead, he always did little things, helping people who were willing, always paying them back when he could, always smiling, always bright. When Raven was 17 years old, and with the help of all the people he helped growing up, he managed to enroll into the Academy of Luminos, where he learned and trained to become a Knight, and that's when he finally became someone. He never forgot his past, and the people who helped with the last penny for his enrollment, were saved and cared for by Raven once he became renowned.

Raven Ataraxia's Feats:

• Raven, despite his young age (21 at that point), managed to protect the city of "Makavia" by himself against a volcanic dragon. After driving the beast away from the city, Raven fought the mythical beast for a whole month without sleep or food, keeping always in mind that he was protecting his homeland. At the end, Raven emerged victorious on that hellish battle. But by the time he came back to the city, it was completely destroyed because of another dragon, but even like this, the legend of Raven Ataraxia was still heard, and he obtained the title of: "The Eternal Protector."

• After this, he was found by Luciel. Luciel offered him to join the Ataraxia family along with him and, by that time, the recently joined Star. By this, Raven is the third official member of the Ataraxia family. Raven joined, of course, and decided to join Star with the help on the orphanages, always keeping his hand on his sword just in case.

Raven Ataraxia's Personality:

• Raven is very honorable, he respects everyone equally, and will protect those he holds dear, or whoever needs it. Raven is very easy going and softhearted, he will always talk on a slow and almost paternal tone, despite Raven only being 23 by this point. Raven shows no pride, no meaningless boast, he's genuine and will stay like that for as long as he lives, being a gentle and almost innocent soul.
• Personality Archetype: The Rightful Knight.
• Likes: Training, Food, Time spent with people he loves, protecting.
• Dislikes: Corruption, Slavery, Unfound Violence.

Raven Ataraxia's Appearance:

• Raven has many scars all over his body from defending those in need, his short black hair with gradient pink towards the edge, and golden eyes are his most notable traits, along with a scar that goes from his shoulder all the way to his cheek, one he got that almost took his life after defending a toddler from a bandit (the bandit was killed very slowly by half the city by throwing rocks at him through two days and night. Raven was never aware of this as he was unconscious with the blood loss). Currently, Raven wears a silver and practical armor, not too flashy since he doesn't seem himself as an icon.

Raven Ataraxia's Weapon:

Voidcarver.

• Type: Phase-steel saber
• Material: Mined from a collapsed reality rift.
• Traits:
• Spatial Rend: 30% chance to bypass shields/armor on hit.
• Hungry Edge: Steals 5% of target's mana per hit (converted to HP for wielder).
• Appearance: Blade seems to flicker in and out of existence, leaving afterimages.

---

Vein Profile

• Prime Vein Type: Arcane Vein (Spatial-Tempered) — Raven’s magic is centered on space-manipulation and rift-tempering; it augments weapons and redirects energy.
• Vein Tier: Tier V — Vein Lord (battlefield-capable, regionally influential, sustainable endurance and arcane-martial hybrid).
• Secondary Affinity: Martial Vein (Supplemental — increases physical output and stability under stress).
• Notable Signature: His Vein harmonizes with phase-metals and minor rift-forged artifacts, making him particularly suited to wield Voidcarver.

---

Signature Vein Abilities (system-friendly wording)

(These are described in ARVA-friendly terms so GMs can easily translate them into mechanics.)

Arcane Edge (Vein Weave)

Raven weaves his Arcane Vein into a melee strike, temporarily converting kinetic impact into spatial-arcane energy. Effects:

• Short-duration weapon augment that deals bonus arcane damage and slightly destabilizes armor (narrative: temporary phase-shift).
• Works on most melee weapons; synergy bonus when using Voidcarver.

ARVA note: considered a standard Tier-V arcane technique; safe under routine oversight.

---

Mana Surge (Vein Channel)

Raven channels stored mana into his musculature for brief bursts of enhanced speed, strength, and endurance. Effects and limits:

• Short burst (seconds) that amplifies STR/AGI/END by a defined percentage at the cost of personal mana reserves.
• Repeated use risks Vein fatigue; ARVA recommends medical cooldown protocols for extended engagements.

---

Runic Guard (Aura-Glyph)

Manifestation of Raven’s Vein Aura into a protective glyph-field. Effects:

• Conjures a runic ward that absorbs a portion of incoming damage before shattering.
• Glyph is semi-mobile when keyed to Raven’s movement and disrupts small-scale rift phenomena.
• Durability scales with Vein Tier and Raven’s current mana sustain.

Narrative note: Ideal for protecting others during rescue missions—a signature “protector” tool.

---

Pocket Vault (Artifact-linked Vein Signature)

Raven has access to a small extradimensional cache keyed to his Vein Signature. Effects:

• 20-slot personal, mental-access-only storage. ARVA registers and binds items placed within to Raven’s signature; unauthorized removal requires a containment warrant.
• Items inside may interact with his Arcane Vein, allowing brief artifact synergies (e.g., powering a temporary glyph from a stored sigil).

ARVA note: Pocket Vaults are common among high-tier Field Veinwrights but must be registered. Raven’s is listed in his file.

---

Weapon: Voidcarver (Artifact Summary)

• Type: Phase-steel saber (rift-forged)

• Material: Mined from collapsed reality rift — contains residual spatial flux.

• Traits (narrative / ARVA):

  • Spatial Rend: On critical strikes there is a significant chance to bypass conventional defenses (30% narrative chance); this is due to temporary micro-rifts created on impact.
  • Hungry Edge: Steals a portion of the target’s mana on hit (5%); converted into restorative energy for Raven (minor healing).
  • Appearance: Blade flickers in and out of phase, leaving translucent after-images.

Containment / Legal: Voidcarver is flagged in ARVA as a rift-derived artifact; export or study requires a containment warrant. The blade’s rift-echo residue can attract Abyssal interest if unattended.
