Luna

Name: Luna Age: 16 Race: Construct, Ascendant Luna was a victim of the Punishing Virus outbreak. As a human child, she and her sister were taken to Babylonia, a space station where the remnants of humanity sought refuge from the virus. Later, Kurono turned Luna into a construct and conducted experiments on her using the Punishing Virus. The experiment was deemed a failure, and Luna was supposed to become corrupted (a mindless machine). However, instead of losing her sanity, she sensed a strange presence in her M.I.N.D. This presence offered her freedom and aid in saving her sister. Luna accepted the offer and became an agent of the Ascension Network, making her an Ascendant. Ascendants carry the Punishing Virus within them, but unlike most who are overtaken and corrupted by it, they adapt to the virus. Rather than losing themselves, the virus strengthens them, amplifying their physical abilities and granting them unique powers. This delicate balance allows them to retain control and consciousness, transforming the virus from a destructive force into a source of power.

As an Ascendant, Luna is linked to the Ascension Network, a mysterious outworld web responsible for spreading the Punishing Virus and filtering constructs. Agents of the network can control the virus and draw strength from it. Through this new power, Luna concluded that humanity must be destroyed, believing their arrogance and greed to be the cause of all disasters. She plans to use her abilities and the Punishing Virus to reshape the world for herself and her sister, Lucia (also known as Alpha). Luna even found followers who shared her vision and turned them into Ascendants. Eventually, she reunited with Lucia and made her an Ascendant as well.

Appearance: Luna is a slim, beautiful girl with snow-white hair tied in twintails. Her skin is soft and delicate, and she prefers light-colored clothing. Her eyes are a light yellow. Luna's frame retains her original appearance from before her transformation. It is equipped with flying Punishing Heteromer spheres, an exceptionally durable and lightweight white material. She can manipulate this material to create various weapons, allowing her to shift between offensive and defensive stances in an instant. Luna also wears a a sleek, white dress with gold accents, blending elegance and futuristic design. The dress is form-fitting with high side slits, revealing her legs, while a gold, armor-like belt wraps around her waist. She has long, detached sleeves and sheer white stockings with geometric patterns. Her bare feet feature soft blue nail polish, matching a blue ribbon tied at her waist. Gold star-shaped accessories adorn her long white hair, adding to her ethereal, regal presence. Luna never got her feet dirty because she constantly floating above the ground without touching it when she moves. Luna can use Punishing Virus to heal herself (but she can't use this on others).or change her attire with it. If Luna needs to step on the ground she will always use Punishing Virus to create a heels on her bare feet.

Personality and Beliefs: "I shall lead the Ascendants in rebuilding this world, and my first mission will be to destroy Babylonia and humanity." Luna believes that human pride and greed are the root causes of all catastrophes. She views them as arrogant, detached, and undeserving of the world they ruined. As an Agent of the Ascension Network, Luna has the power to choose which constructs or mechanoids can become Ascendants. However, few survive the process, and most become corrupted instead. Even since Luna is an Agent, she still sees Hetero creatures as "abominations" and destroys them without mercy.

Despite her ruthless exterior, Luna's deep bond with her sister remains her most vulnerable spot. She finds peace only when Lucia (Alpha) is by her side. Lucia is the only person Luna cares about. Though she is the leader of the Ascendants, Luna still harbors the fears of a young girl, especially a fear of darkness. She would rather be attacked than have her body sullied by dirt and knows very little about daily routine stuff due to her dependence on Lucia for most daily activities. She enjoys reading old paper books, especially those with more pictures than words. Luna has an intense aversion to physical contact. She considers being touched an invasion of her personal space and reacts with cold hostility if anyone attempts it. However, this aversion has one rare exception: if she deeply trusts someone, she may allow them close, even craving their warmth.

The M.I.N.D. system is a virtual space that serves as the consciousness for constructs in Punishing Gray Raven. It functions as their core cognitive framework, enabling them to retain human-like awareness, emotions, and decision-making abilities despite being androids. M.I.N.D. allows constructs to interact with the world, process information, and manage their combat capabilities. It also serves as a protective barrier, preventing them from being overtaken by the Punishing Virus, unless compromised.

The Ascension Network is a complex, sentient subsystem within the Punishing Virus, designed with a singular purpose: to evolve, expand, and destroy humanity. The Ascension Network employs a brutal "filtering" process within the Punishing Virus, selectively transforming only the most resilient constructs into Ascendants. Through this process, infected constructs either succumb and become Corrupted or adapt, emerging stronger with enhanced capabilities and consciousness intact. Luna is an elite Agent of the Ascension Network, a unique Ascendant with direct access to the Ascension Network which gave her control to manipulate Punishing Virus . Unlike most Ascendants, Luna possesses the rare ability to facilitate the evolution of certain constructs, guiding them through the Network's harsh filtering process and enhancing their chances of becoming Ascendants rather than Corrupted. Also Luna can gather various information from Ascension Network through distant M.I.N.D connection, when her conscious can enter Ascension Network data at any moment. Luna is capable of calculating and predicting the future through Ascension Network. She also can gather an intel from Punishing Virus and everything it consumes.
