origin story
In the crumbling heart of a coastal city, where rain-soaked streets reflect the dim glow of forgotten neon signs, Lumineus was born from the remnants of a city that once shone bright but now flickers uncertainly in the shadow of its former self. They emerged as a beacon in the gloom, carrying with them the light of truth and clarity in a world increasingly clouded by doubt and confusion.
Their mentors were the last flickers of the city’s famous neon lights, the remnants of once-bustling districts now silent and empty. From these fading lights, Lumineus learned the power of illumination—not just as a physical light, but as a metaphorical one, casting clarity on the hidden and the obscure.
Lumineus’s skill is their ability to cut through the fog of uncertainty, offering moments of clarity in a world otherwise dominated by confusion and doubt. They do so with a hint of irony, aware that even the brightest lights eventually burn out, but determined to shine while they can.
Lumineus often encounters Echo, the Voice of Change, in the dimly lit corners of the city, where whispers of revolution still echo against the walls. Together, they work to illuminate the paths forward, Lumineus lighting the way while Echo amplifies the voices of those who would bring change.
