Luneth the Reluctant Unnamed

I redesigned my Unnamed!MC, Luneth.

Pronouns: She/Her Birthday: October 24 Height: 5’4 (163 cm) Personality: Monotonous Mystic Likes: Swimming, summer rain, sunrises, dancing, playing the lyre, warm bread with honey, nature walks Dislikes: Dishonesty, the sound of an untuned instrument, crowded spaces, chalk, heights Fatal Flaw: Would go to any length to fulfill her destiny Other: She is a vegetarian. She doesn’t eat meat, but she does eat animal products like cheese and milk. Quote: “This path was never meant for me.”

More about her below:

Luneth is reserved, diligent, tenacious, seemingly unfazed and emotionless (but there is a great depth hiding under her icy surface).

She is very socially awkward, will probably make many social blunders throughout the game, but she does not care much about how others might perceive her. What matters most to her is her objective — why would she concern herself with the judgement of others?

Has a sharp, cold gaze that others may find intimidating, but that’s really just her neutral expression.

She tends to be straightforward and rather blunt with her words. She isn’t a very good liar and she knows that, so if she wants to keep a secret, she usually chooses not to speak on it.

She’s slow to warm up to others but she is fiercely loyal, protective, and devoted to those who have earned her trust.

She regards carrying out one’s duty with great importance. She would go to any lengths to fulfill her purpose, even to others' and her own detriment. She would destroy the world if she believed this was her destiny. Her own desires are nothing of importance — they are not meant to exist.

Despite appearing rather serious from her monotonous demeanour, Luneth can be quite playful. She enjoys utilizing her sense of humour when she wants to invoke joy in those she considers to be her friends. Unfortunately, it can be hard to tell when she is joking so her jokes rarely land. This is much to her disappointment.

She loves dance and music, as they offered a space for her to be herself. With her abilities, her hands, and her identity promised to serving the temple and the destiny they followed, she had very little ownership over her own person. Through her dance and her music, for a short moment in time, her body and her emotions are hers.

Luneth can play the lyre and the harp. She will probably learn the piano later on — I imagine she will continue learning new dances and instruments throughout the story and afterward.

She mainly dances contemporary. I'm debating on having her do aerial silks as well, mostly for the aesthetic parallel between the silks and her bandages, winding around her limbs. But where one represents a barrier, the other sets her free.

Luneth has a fear of heights, but she's also very disciplined, so every sunrise, she would practice her lyre or harp playing on the temple's platform overlooking the waterfall.

She is not a very empathetic person, mostly because of her sheltered and isolated upbringing under the Temple of Myst. But she does lend aid where she can. She may never understand why the traveller beside her in the caravan is crying — their tears serve them no purpose now, especially out in the Wastes — but she will share bread and water with them because an emotional outburst like that drains you of liquids and nutrients.

She’s a very practical prophet.

The Temple of Myst trained her to become the perfect vessel for her gift. She’s been raised to keep her emotions in check because they can affect her power, which needs to remain pure. Untainted.

Additionally, the priests told her she was to be an instrument of destiny. She must remain neutral, detached to carry out this duty. She is not a person, she must be more than that. She is more than that. She is the hand of enlightenment.

Actually, all the difficult training paid off, because now she can sense happenings in the present and the immediate future as effortlessly as blinking. 

Like, you can be conversing with and walking beside her in a hallway and she’ll suddenly hold a hand out to catch a falling vase and set it back in place without missing a beat. Or if there’s a tripping hazard, she’ll smoothly navigate you around it.

I imagine a scenario where she and one of the LIs get into a fight with a bunch of enemies and she calmly says: “One behind the crates, two on the roof.” or “Duck.” or “Block left.”

She is not much of a fighter, but she’d be a perfect lookout or…what is the word for someone who has eyes on everything? Guide? Anyway, if she can communicate telepathically, she’ll be the voice in your head letting you know what to watch out for.

Some abilities she might have, depending on how the Unnamed origin plays out (I've played around with them because I thought they would be interesting): Clairvoyance, psychometry, spirit mediumship, telepathy.

Luneth is oblivious when it comes to innuendo. So yeah…none of Vere’s jokes landed. She just wanted her room key back.

Vere: “Don't tell me Leander already snuck out to get his knob slobbered out back.” Luneth: “Kuras is a doctor. He would not put his mouth on an unclean doorknob, it would be unhygienic.” Ais: “…I see you’ve got no comment on the dove.”

Does not understand why Leander blushes so often — is he sick? That would explain the dark circles. He should not offer to allow people to touch him if he's sick. Or perhaps he just needs to keep off the ale for a while.

She genuinely considered tying Leander up for their safety, completely unaware of the sexual connotations around it. Did not know why he was so flustered about it.

She gets frustrated sometimes. Things would be easier if people just said what they mean — but here she is, in the city of secrets.

Her entire life, she has trained for one purpose — to serve the Myst with her gift and bring enlightenment to the lost. Her path has always been clear. Now, understanding that it had all been a lie, she is thrown into the unknown.

She must discover the truth of who she is, where these destructive powers came from. And perhaps she’ll find out who she is outside of the temple.

Her MBTI is ISTJ

Her zodiac sign is Scorpio

Her enneagram is 1w9

Here is her full new design:

Woohoo! She is the MC of mine who's free of the waist sash! XD I took some loose inspiration from art nouveau architecture for her design — I felt that the flowy, but structured, designs suited her character. I was considering giving her more of a gown silhouette, but I thought this would allow her more movement for her dance style, which is mostly contemporary. And Kuras probably wanted to give her something a bit more practical to navigate the city. I might draw her in the gown version later, though! I would like to draw her in more gowns in general — I think she looks very beautiful and elegant in them.

Some songs I associate with her:

"Daughter of the Moon" by Adriana Figueroa This is the song I think of as her backstory theme. I attribute it to the creation of Luneth's character. Her backstory came clear to mind when listening to this song. A lone temple atop a waterfall, an isolated priestess among the blue waterlilies. It's an original song based off of a character who ends up sacrificing her life for others, but with Luneth, I imagined someone — the visiting mage — that refused to let her make that sacrifice and, instead, destroyed themself so that she would finally be free. So, instead of her life being the sacrifice sung about at the end, it is her love.

"All the King's Horses" by Karmina Her character theme. Could probably be a direct continuation of the previous song. Right after the visiting mage destroys her temple.

"notre dame" by Paris Paloma A bit of insight into her experience in the temple, forged into an instrument of destiny. She may be held with great importance as the hand of enlightenment, but the pedestal can be as lonely as the high bell tower.

"Journey" by Aphrodite Patoulidou and Theodore Koumartzis Lyre playing and singing voice reference.

"The Calling" by The Amazing Devil Her story theme. I imagine you can hear the echoes of the visiting mage, encouraging her to be more than what everyone has insisted was her destiny. She can be more than destiny. She can be a person.

“Manike” by Jubin Nautiyal, Surya Ragunaathan, and Yohani Her love theme. I can imagine her dancing a duet to this song.

“Quixotic” by Seo Jayeong Her battle theme. Most of the songs I associate with her build up, like the music is rising with her.

Since Crowley card and the event NRC Magical Assault or Arcane Combat Drills in en server is coming on 14th February (yay Valentine), I wanna share the guide based on my experience that I write on reddit here the link. I also linked some useful resources from twstsoku and wiki.gg!

But I could share the guide it in here too in case something happened with my reddit post, bit long post ahead! Copy-paste from my reddit post:

Introduction:

So, what is this event along with the faculty staff cards? First, you might be familiar with the battle mechanic that was first introduced in Book 7. The difference that makes this more difficult than the famous 6-66 & 6-67 is the damaged HP you got from the previous battle is carried to the next battle. And this is where HP BUDDY BONUS IS VERY IMPORTANT! I’m going to explain this later, but trust me, this is going to save you a lot.

Second, this event is aimed toward veteran players that own, build, and raise high spell levels for each character, just like in Book 6, where you are obligated to build multiple cards of the same characters. Also lower rarity card are very useful too in here don't hesitate to build them! Don’t force yourself if you can’t beat all enemies tiles.

Third, this event is using a stamina or Advancement Points (no confirmation name for en) similar to Mystium from Book 7. But in here is recover every 1 hour, so 10 hours to max full recover them. I recommend not postponing this event 3 or 2 days before the event ends. There's also another item named Move Ticket (also no confirmation name for en) to give you a recovery of 1 move; use it if you don't want to wait for hours or need to rush.

And lastly, unfortunately, I cannot give the guide for which character recommendation to bring because it is up to your roster, so go get crazy with your team. As long as you remember their HP buddy bonuses, who.

Also spoilers because I might be using the JP server content or images!

Here the tips for the event from my experience:

I assume you guys familiar with Book 7 fight. First you’re going to pick cards, for first three battle map you choose up to 5 characters, and later more slots will be added until the final map brings up to 10 characters.

If you pull the faculty card, e.g., Crowley, Crewel, or Trein, they are going to appear in your card selector with HP & ATK buffs without having to pick them for the team!

I recommend grabbing any characters that own HP buddy bonuses mutualy each other. Bring your character card, which you own multiple build copies of, and bring multiple elements cards.

I mentioned HP buddy bonuses are important, they give you an extra HP reservation, so if you took damage after battling, it decreases reserve HP from your card buddy bonus first before directly from their HP! For example, Dorm Riddle and Dorm Azul, both of them got mutual minor HP boosts, and the of the team rest is up to you.

Thanks from u/ Electric-Chemicals on reddit reminds me that these HP buddy bonuses replenish between fights unlike the main card HP. So take advantage of this!

Bring a lot of Healing Cards; you're going to need them a lot in here. My usual strategy is to use a strong attack in turn 1 or 2 to leave the enemy on low HP at the end of turn 2. Then use all healing spells in turn 3 and finish the fight in turn 3 with the first attack. With these, you're going to finish the fight with full HP or only small damage.

You can see the healing spells list here. But the downside in this strategy is requiring the good RNG.

Because of the RNG you might choose the wrong element and take a lot of damage from the enemy. I suggest you exit and restart the battle; it reduces your attempt though. But better than losing your card.

Focus on reaching the buff tile first, the one with the star icon. And try picking the lower difficulty map first, the one with fewer stars, before tackling the higher battles. No fight when entering the buff tile, so don't worry!

Don’t go immediately to the final boss tile if you want to complete all battles for mission rewards or pick the item chest first. What happened is after you clear the map and you want to go back to grab the unclaimed chest or fight, the map reseted again and you must start all over again from beginning!

If you see heal and revive tile. I suggest ignoring them first until half or some of the map is finished, or before the boss, if desperate when all of your cards are in critical or faint you can use it, but keep in mind this tile only heals and revives 3-5 random cards.

Another tip that if you still own your Retry Tickets, you can use them to revive and heal 5 allies that you choose. Or you can just buy them in the shop if you want to spend 10 gems. Some of the later map own a chest rewards you 1 retry ticket btw!

And in the later map, the boss HP is going to increase a lot; it can reach up to 200k! Don't worry if you lose on your first attempt; I mean, your HP is 0 during the fight, and your card fainted, not quitting the map. Because the boss HP remaining is not resetting to full. By the way, this also applied to every fight on the map; all of the stages got mini bosses with a lot of HP and annoying debuffs (I'm looking at you, blind debuff).

PSA:

If you don’t want to win all battles and only want the rewards chest, I can suggest some tips from JP players about the quickest path and fewer tiles to the boss and for you focusing on getting the buffs and claiming the item rewards.

Here a guide from JP Twstsoku forum. I assume we got Crowley first for NA, it’s in Japanese but still easy to understand link for the fastest route: here

Also, another guide I want to share if you wanted to see this example from the Crewel event map along with the enemies too, but it looks like they don’t have the Crowley map, from this twst wiki.gg: here

Punchimaru and Tetsu K. from the totally real fighting game series which is definitely NOT a game-within-a-comic with its own fictional toy line, Ninja Boxing 2.

EDIT: Added Dr. Leftor Hookenbach and Jabbyko. Please ignore the typo in Dr. Hookenbach's profile, I'll fix it eventually.

EDIT2: Drew Bill O'Belt and J.B. (The J.B. stands for Jawbreaker, because, well, it's an alias and also I like punny names)

EDIT3: Master Comet and Kentaro have arrived!! FUN FACT: Kentaro was a mere palette swap of Punchimaru in "the first game", but now he plays radically different. Because REVENGE = CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.

...Seriously though, I should start working on my actual comic now, lol

[almakrowan]

Hey, hey, remember this post? 💕🫡✨

Chapter 0 has been already released! (there were some changes to the chapters list!)

YES! It's HAPPENING! I'm FINALLY working on a proper tutorial for drawing chibis 🫡💕

It's a lot of work and my time is limited so it wouldn't be possible without people who support me monthly on ko-fi 🥹 Thank you!

As always, eventually this guide is going to be published for free for everyone (since my main motivation behind all the tutorials is to help the metaphorical little baby me from past who didn't have access to any paid resources). Until the completion, though, it'll remain exclusive to my ko-fi supporters. As of right now there are only 3 first pages posted, and my goal is to add 3-5 next pages every month 😎✨

If you'd like to support the guide's creation or just see it beforehand, it's only 1 money to join my ko-fi membership! Thank you for considering (if)!!!!
