PEN!!!!

oopsie didnt notice this, allergies want me dead

allow me to talk about my girls, the absolutes, since i dont do that enough even though i love them

(in reference to this post)

AUGH, my girls!!!!!! The four lovely little non-ladies that i accidentally made a magical girl group <3

There is so much wild lore behind these kiddos, but unfortunately, I can’t talk about all that shit because SO MANY SPOILERS FOR SOUL JOURNEY.

Ahem. Lemme actually talk about them now.

These four — Inifya, Mirror Inifya (Mira/Shini), Pura, and Nycto Tolaris — are a group of teenage Astrals with great powers that they rarely use outside of training. Instead of specifically following their destiny to become the next Four Heroes of Yore, they decide to create a band they call The Absolutes, because Void and Gala always refer to them as The Absolute Heroes. Gala is a massive history geek, and he knows quite a bit about the original Four Heroes of Yore, and the girls remind him of them quite a bit. Void themself says that they are the originals reborn, which they very well may be, seeing Pura’s absolutely insane abilities as a Void-Born Astral. (That means she was created in the Void, AKA Nebulis’ homeland/realm/test area, not that she was created by Void. Those are Galactics.)

They’re still much too young to begin their duties as Star Warriors, Ini, Mira, and Pura being 15 and Nycto being 13, and the first few are still in their training stages (Nycto is a fast learner — striking reflection of her… father? Of Elfilis. I guess they’d be the dad, since Gen carried her, or something like that. Genetics are fucking weird, especially when it comes to Astrals), so they haven’t been officially titled as Holy Knights yet, but they will be eventually.

Now it’s time to talk about them as separate characters!

First of, Ini. She's the future daughter of Kirby, and her name is kind of obviously based on the word infinity, and the concept of naming her ‘infinity’ comes from— actually, I can’t say that, that’s afterstory stuff. Just know her name has some deeper connections past being based on the word ‘infinity’.

Anyway, they’re the future Warrior of Soul. When they come of age and are officially knighted, they’ll be titled Absolute Infinity Hero, Soul Knight Inifya. Here’s an excerpt from their section of a little “history book” about the Four Heroes i wrote a while back:

(By the way, Lord Yk is Nebulis, aka the son-daughter-child of Galactica, who is THE God, but nobody in-multiverse really knows about Them and think Nebs is THE God. Which isn’t necessarily wrong, I guess)

As I said before, these girls have SO many K:SJ spoilers attached to them. That’s what makes them so fun to talk about though, I get to be mysterious and vague and tease things and put foreshadowing everywhere.

ANYWAY. The censored stuff is all regarding their Big Crazy Ability that I can’t mention bc they inherited it from Kirby, who uses it in the climax of the fic that I might not even finish. All you gotta know is it’s incredibly strong, and absolutely terrifying. Which makes it awesome. I wish I could talk about it, but it’s existence is a major plot point, so I can’t. Major L for me.

Next is Mira! She’s the future daughter of Shadow Kirby, and is younger than her main-universe counterpart by about 10 minutes, since Void helped with the creation of the two, building their bodies and Souls from scratch. Gotta love being a creator entity, being able to do shit like that.

She’s got the same name origins as Ini, and the same abilities as them, but she prefers using her Dream magic over her Soul magic, and she’s the future Warrior of Dreams. When they’re older and knighted, they’ll be titled Absolute Dreamscape Hero, Mare Knight Shini (or Mare Knight Mira). Here’s an excerpt from her section in the same “history book”:

(The Eterna Hero is Galacta’s predecessor, as in he was supposed to be a recreation of her. She was also capable of using this Big Crazy Ability that I can’t name bc spoilers. She’s shown off more in two oneshots I made titled MERCY, which is about her death, and Once So Great, which is from her mourning friend’s point of view 17 million years later. Read them if you like!)

The censored stuff here is also regarding the Big Crazy Ability. I’ve just now decided that I’m going to make a google doc with everything about K:SJ like I’m doing with my hollow knight AUs so I can get all this information out of me and have a reference for if I ever keep working on the fic.

Ok Pura time!!!!! She’s the future Warrior of Heart, and she was created by Nebulis from excess positive emotions, and since she doesn’t have any biological parents, she was taken in by Elfilis and Fiktra and raised as their eldest daughter. Because she’s a Void-born Heart Matter Astral, she is incredibly powerful and very likely the only one of her kind, so she has nobody to properly train her to use her abilities. The only two Heart Matter Astrals around who can train her are Galacta and Kirby, but they’re both Heart-Soul hybrids, Kirby’s busy being the only active Star Warrior in Gamble Galaxy, and Gala is nowhere near as powerful as her, so she’s kinda stuck when it comes to abilities only she has.

When she’s knighted she’ll get the title of Absolute Heartbeat Hero, Halo Knight Pura. Because of her Heart-matter origins, she’s a very kind and compassionate person, and it takes a lot to piss her off. If you manage to make her mad, you’ve dun fucked up and I suggest you run. Aside from those very incredibly rare moments, she’s the sweetest kid in the universe. A very forgive-and-forget type person, with almost no exceptions.

As usual here’s an excerpt from the fake history book:

Wow, nothing needed to be censored this time! Incredible!

I’m currently working on redesigning her, and the base design is almost done!! Yey :)

FINALLY. We have Nycto Tolaris, the youngest of the four. She’s the future biological daughter of Elfilis and Genesis Fiktra, and the future Warrior of Dark, and she’s the most well-trained out of all the girls. She already knows all known techniques of Dark Matter combat, and has begun doing her own stuff, combining her Dream magic with her Dark magic to create incredibly powerful and sometimes mind-breaking attacks. Trust me, you don’t want to get caught in one of her storms. You will die, or lose your mind in the best-case scenario. Her battle skills are insane.

Once she's grown and knighted, she'll gain the title Absolute Shadow Hero, Hollow Knight Nycto Tolaris. Yes, that is a hollow knight reference. Currently, with her quick learning and her already knowing what she’s doing, she’s the most combat efficient of the Absolutes, and also the most terrifying. Dark Matter and Dream Matter combined is fucking crazy when you know how to use the magic. Inducing night terrors, causing hallucinations, breaking your mind and essentially exploding your brain without even touching you — Dark-Dream Matter Astrals are incredibly powerful and are absolutely fucking horrifying to fight. I suggest avoiding negative confrontation with Nycto at all costs.

Something something history book excerpt:

Aaand that’s all of them! Damn this took a while to write. I’m gonna return to my hollow knight insanity now, and eat my ice cream. French vanilla good. Yummy

HEEHOO JUST FINISHED ARTIFYING. NEW OC HERE

ELFIKTRA FANKID ELFIKTRA FANKID

Her name is Nycto Tolaris and she’s a bastard in the best way possible. Her love language is talking shit and biting you. I love her.

Here’s her info!!

Full name: Nycto Tolaris

Age: in this image specifically, she’s 13

DOB: 31st of August

Birthplace: Site 3 (aka the place where Liz and Gen live)

Height: 5’9”

Gender identity: Demigirlflux (she/her)

Sexuality: Who cares? Not her! (Unlabeled)

S/O: None

Occupation: Musician, SFX artist/designer

————————————————————————————

Abilities:

Y’know Magolor? Yeah, just mix that with Elfilis and you got her magic.

————————————————————————————

Extra Info:

She has an incredibly powerful voice, and impressive vocal range. When she’s training with her magic, she uses her voice to her advantage and temporarily either disorients or controls her target.

She’s the biological daughter of Elfilis and Fiktra! She’s more born of magic than, y’know, natural means of reproduction, but she’s still their kid.

She’s a really quick learner, and already knows every technique there is to learn about her magic. At this point, she’s begun using her Dark-Dream hybrid abilities to make new attacks and effects.

She doesn’t really do fighting and stuff, though she’s destined to become the next generation’s Dark Warrior as a part of the Heroes of Yore. She prefers using her magic to create special effects in her shows, but she does know how to use it in battle. She’s a smart kid!

She’s not exactly the nicest person when you first meet her — she really likes her creative insults and ominous threats — but once you get to know her, she’s genuinely great. She’s a lot like Lizzie, just nowhere near as quiet and reserved.

She sees Elfilin as more of an older sibling than a parent, even though they and Liz are two sides of the same coin. They get along pretty well, despite Nycto’s… blunt personality.

She does bite people as a sign of affection, but also as an attack. Her teeth are sharp as hell, and curved inward so any prey is only gonna get more hurt by struggling. Pro tip: don’t let her bite you. Ever. Unless you’re her parents, her sister, or the next-gen Dream and Soul Warriors (who I can’t name because wow they’re so full of spoilers).

On a related note, she has an adopted sister! She’s a couple years older than Nycto, and way too nice for her own good, but she still means the absolute world to her.

————————————————————————————

I’ve had her on my mind for a while, and a lot of her character is actually based off a song I recently discovered, which I’ve decided to use as her voice claim. The song in question would be this:

(I’m obsessed with this song by the way. It’s on my mind constantly. The singer’s voice is immaculate, my lord.)

[kirby-souljourney-au]

I just wanna share this little excerpt from my notes about the Four Heroes of Yore, specifically Nycto, since I’ve introduced her and can show you my brainrot.

I love. I love. I love!!!

I also wanna say that the endings of these descriptions of the Heroes change with each generation. For Gala’s, it ends with a statement about the Warrior’s power against Void Termina. For the modern four, it ends with saying the Warrior will be a powerful ally to the Stars and the Ykka. For the next generation, it ends with what is seen here — a powerful ally to the Stars and to Lord Yk specifically.

I just wanted to put out the power of these groups in only a few words, simple changes in the ways sentences were spoken. I haven’t written anything about Eterna’s four yet (mostly because I have no idea who the other three would be), but I will eventually, and that’s probably gonna be released in full here. Because we know about Eterna and how powerful she was, even more so after the MERCY oneshot.

Anyway, enjoy your food my dear followers

[kirby-souljourney-au]

rambling abt lizzie, lin, and gen bc @ceoofmetagala wants more liz content and i still love them dearly

this is gonna be kinda hard to put down with no spoilers since they get important AFTER ksj but im doing it anyway!!! lizzie my beloved <3

*ahem*

So. Over here in Soul Journey, as a part of the main book, Elfilis doesn’t play that big a part, nor do Genesis or Elfilin.

The former two are still important to the story, though, since they’re Nycto’s parents, Nycto being one of the next-generation Heroes of Yore.

Elfilis was not one of the heroes on Galacta’s team — instead, they were just an odd Dream-Matter Astral that wanted some universal control. Besides, they’re not old enough to have been Galacta’s Dream-Matter ally anyway. They’re half his age.

Gen was someone who came across them while they were conquering random planets some twenty-thousand years ago. They had similar goals in mind, and though they fought about who was more deserving of controlling the universe for a while, they eventually settled on taking over together. They started a romantic relationship about ten years after they met, and now they’re on Site 3 and occasionally Popstar being… mostly docile.

And Elfilin’s there, too.

Both in game canon and this AU, Elfilin is a separate part of Elfilis that actually felt compassion, love, regret, and other such things. They were parted from Forgo due to an accident during some experimentation, and escaped Lab Discovera alone. In Soul Journey, Lin was only able to fully separate from Forgo with the added help of Genesis’ magic, which despite being significantly weakened in the chamber was still strong enough to pull a small part of Elfilis out of the chamber and free them. Gen’s determination to save the one person they truly cared about helped them push through the oppressive barrier in the chamber preventing them from using their magic and get Elfilin out. They intended to teleport Elfilis out as a whole, but that didn’t end up working. They decided to settle with that small part of them that was already being torn from their Soul being freed, in hopes that they’d return and save them and their other half.

In modern day, Lin’s relationship with Liz is sort of like what you would see in two siblings, though the former is much more tolerant than the latter.

Elfilis is only capable of compassion because they absorbed a part of Morpho, who is a very kind and loving being. That part of them that allowed Elfilis to return as a spirit also allowed them to have a mostly full Soul again (when I say mostly, I mean part of Elfilis’ Soul is still separate from them, taking the form of Elfilin). Since they still have that part of Morpho inside them, they’re able to use some of the abilities they did in their Chaos form, but not all of them. They’re only able to utilize the few abilities they have because of their already powerful Dream magic.

Speaking of their magic, it is really powerful. Like, powerful enough that they could be one of the Heroes of Yore if they wanted to be. They honestly don’t care enough to actually take up that job, though. They prefer just lazing around and attacking shit.

Anyway.

As seen in the game, Elfilis is capable of full mind control, which is something pretty damn rare in Dream-Matter Astrals. Of course, Dream Magic is also called Psychic Magic for a reason, but it’s really unlikely for a Dream-Matter Astral to wield the ability to take full control over a sentient being’s mind.

Uh. I’d ramble more, but I’m really tired rn, so. Sleep time. Enjoy your food Mocha
