⌑ ⁀ ¦ 𝐔ᴍʙʀᴀ.

I'm perfectly happy where I'm at.

[ is that honest, or is that the necessity to say? ]

I don't need anyone else to tell me how it should be, or what it will be. It'll be the same : we're dogs of war. And I'm proud to serve what I believe in.

Last I checked, YOU aren't my commander. So buzz off! Or I'll make you!

⠀
⠀/ /⠀same Reploid ends up becoming a villain later on in their story but i dropped that storyline so long ago. it'll be brought back sometime
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀btw Lunus was also directly responsible for killing a comrade who went Maverick in a battle and in her last moments, begged her for help.

⠀⠀it was the first time Lunus ever killed someone.

⠀⠀they have never gotten over it. Ever.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀SNIFFLES?? THANK YOU. it took me a few months to make a cohesive backstory for them and i feared it may have been Too much.

⠀⠀there's a lot of horrible factors in it but it's the case of : follow your heart, or follow your orders.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀this is why present lunus's memories can get so fucked btw. it's not only because human scientists poked around them so much that it fucked up their memorybank, but also a metaphor for how the trauma of PTSD can develop into repressed memories.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀the logs when this was a memory recovery event.

⠀⠀theyre long so i don't anticipate anyone reading these all the way through, but they are a very real glimpse into the traumatic instances they had to go through.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀They were operated on constantly. Made to be stripped of their free will. Only made to resort to being a soldier.

⠀⠀In short, quite literally groomed into being a weapon for this military, that wanted to stamp out the softness of the Maverick Hunters. Lunus would be no exception.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀this paired with experiencing gruesome deaths in missions, being forced to hone their skills to kill, and swayed into the propaganda of Repliforce's main goal as Reploid - centered messed with them so much, they had their memories constantly taken apart.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀they messed with their programming so much that Lunus became snippy, scared, and completely disregarding of humans. The conflict being : they were originally made to ensure the humans were their primary protection.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀without creators to overlook their growth and check their creation for themselves, Repliforce scientists were left to guess how to develop Lunus further on top of military esque training. and once they realized that Lunus was not made to be a weapon at all,
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀lunus was made to be a mediator before the last project was fully complete ( and this last project being Andromeda ; aka, Solis. )

⠀⠀however, to cover their tracks, they had to make their purpose vague and their origins vaguer.

⠀⠀Lunus was sent to Repliforce as a blank state.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀in short, they were made by a group of scientists rebelling against their own company, astrus labs. AL had been attempting to produce a reploid who would stop the war, and failed on multiple occasions — this is an issue because they might as well be terrors to society as a whole.
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀im gonna type up a proper bio later and i completely forgot to give abrief rundown when i first made them. so ill link some logs exploring the memories of what makes lunus like...this.
⠀

[ they give a hard stare for a while longer. then the spear backs off, twirled back to their side to stand with them. ]

Don't.

[ the order is harshly barked through gritted teeth. was that a tinge of fear flashing in their eyes? ]

The last thing I need to see is what the future has coerced me towards. You wouldn't like it if you were provided the glimpse into a future of the unknown, would you?

⠀
⠀/ /⠀most repliforce members are anyways. as far as i know
⠀

⠀
⠀/ /⠀im so sorry pearl this lunus is lowley humanphonic
⠀

[ a ferocious gaze glares up at her. there's no gentleness nor warmth in their eyes ; nothing like the Lunus they knew. ]

Likely story.

That IS my name, yes.

[ scowling, stepping backward. in their other hand clutches a long spear, pointing it at Pearl to put distance between them. ]

How do you know my name?

[ their initial fit of rage ends up morphing into a look of horror. ]

I - I . . .

[ shaken. by that prospect, conflicting, and it looks as though it tugs their mind back and forth. ]

I ddon't want that.

I wish many things — extinction ISN'T one.

[ they're so calm. why are they so calm? are they mocking them?

their eyes blaze with reignited fury. ]

OF COURSE IT IS! THAT'S WHY WE EXIST!

[ they take a pace backwards. ]

Tto clean up the MESS HUMANS LEFT BEHIND! Gghhg —

[ shaking their head, looking distressed by their own words. ]

⠀
⠀/ /⠀goikg to this lunus after writing regular lunus for so long is like a fucking whiplash bro
⠀

SCREW OFF, HUNTER!

[ brows twitch, struggling not to furrow and give away their growing frustration. ]

Better than YOU? No. No, I am VERY well aware of my place with humans.

I. Fight. The wars. You create.

And unlike what these stupid kids are doing? I despise the carnage it leaves behind.

. . . You're no better than Mavericks.

You would go as far as to kill each other over it?

[ ???!!?!!!????

their eyes widen, pushing their hands away and rubbing their face. ]

Do not touch me while I'm on duty! 💢💢

And what are you yammering about, human?!

. . . What pitiful humans, fighting over petty squabbles.

[ scoffing. ]

. . . ?
