Lux Dawnbringer

You Ever

• Never Judge A Book...

  First of all, I'd like to make a few OOC notes.
  
  I would like to point out that Lux Dawnbringer's ancestors are the ones who had ties with the Light Primes, not Lux. However, it was so far back that none of them know of this fact, let alone whom or why. All her family knows is that they are Equines, and although they do hold some reverence to Aristaya (who created Unicorn Furres) and Patrilius (who created Equine Furres), they do not actively worship the Prime of Dreams or the Prime of Equines.
  
  Secondly, Lux is a cruel mistress, but she is not and never will be a mindless "ALL SLAVES NEED FLOGGING" type of character. She's not a bitch-breaker. She is stern. She shows consideration. Slaves behaving under her ownership are given a list of rules they are expected to follow, and are allowed one slip up. Any other slip ups are punished depending on the severity of the offense. She will start off with light punishments (again, pending on the offense) and progress to more harsher punishments. Repeated offense can and will lead to injuries and mutilation, but only if agreed upon by both players. IC actions lead to IC consequences, but consent is also just as important.
  
  Thirdly, while she is a Trade Princess, she does not control an army large enough to attack the Tether, and they will not be involved in any conflicts on the island, as Lux is a strongly neutral-aligned woman who does not actively seek warfare. The private army serves to protect her business and her shipments to and from other places in the world of Furcadia.
  
  Fourthly, the homeland from which Lux hails from is Sidona. It is an island with a landmass about the size of Texas. As such, while it decent in size, it is not large enough to be a continent, though the homeland has its own politics and armies. Simply put, it is there to give Lux more character background, and it will not be involved in any events that would leave dire impacts on Guildereim.
  
  Finally, I do not intend for Lux to be an overpowered character. She is a Trade Princess, and is a ruler of her own homeland of Sidona, but I wanted to make sure that she is not a Mary Sue, so to speak. To make sure she could fit within Guildereim's continuity, I ran Lux's background past Muunokhoi - the Rah of the Golden Tether - to confirm that Lux is someone who is not too overpowered or would break immersion. Thankfully, she is fine and I am happy that she does in fact fit with the continuity. Thank you all for your understanding.
  
  That said, read on for Lux's backstory!
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  Lux Dawnbringer has something of a mixed past. Born to a noble family, she was the younger of a set of non-identical twins. While her older sister, Tenebris, was born fully female and accepted readily, Lux was born as an intersex individual. While Furres born with different gender sexual characteristics were not unheard of, her family saw such Furres as imperfect. As such, while they did raise Lux, she was not treated as well as other members of the family.
  
  Lux's parents made every effort to keep Lux out of business affairs, opting instead to take her older twin. As such, Lux was often left to her own devices, and used this time to either study in the library or help the workers in their day to day chores; more specifically, physical labor. Ultimately, she developed something of a tomboyish personality, coming to being a hands-on individual who was not only physically strong but book smart as well. As she grew older, due to this, she became something of a bodybuilder, and began to help train new hires in their tasks while also taking on another role: bookkeeping.
  
  While Lux eventually came into her own, she still had a poor upbringing. In fact, abuse became common towards her, and oftentimes she was blamed for being the reason that her older sister could not have nicer things. This led to her developing a cruel nature, in which she would often find herself torturing animals, reveling in her sadism as it became an outlet for all of her stress.
  
  By the time Lux was fully mature, her desires to torture others manifested. Why bother with helpless animals? There was no challenge in it. Why not torture an actual person? Unfortunately for Lux's older sister, Tenebris was the target for Lux's cruel devices. She decided to go enjoy dinner one evening with her while the parents were out so they could discuss potential suitors, but Lux secretly had Tenebris' food drugged while the chef was not watching, to incapacitate her older sibling. Feeling tired and ill, Tenebris retired, and Lux followed suite. When her sister was passed out, she dragged her off to the barn, and blindfolded her. The night was met with torturing her in any way she could without leaving long-lasting damage or scars, but made damn sure that by the time she was done, that she was relieved of stress.
  
  Leaving her sister tied in the barn, she returned to the house, took as much coin as she could, and hightailed out of the manor. No one knows to this day who hurt Tenebris, not even the tortured mare. But because of the events, the chef was put to death, and Lux managed to get off scot-free.
  
  Years later, Lux had opened her own business, far from home. This business worked much like that of her parents', but with a twist. Lux was not ashamed to work the other side of the fence, and dealt in legal and illegal goods. Eventually, she earned enough coin to purchase their business as well, though not in person. They never did find out that the woman that they humiliated as a child had come to surpass them. After all, they could retire easily with as much coin as they were given.
  
  And they did.
  
  Today, many years later, Lux Dawnbringer has secured a coveted position of Trade Princess in her homeland of Sidona, a large island between the shores of Guildereim and Kasuria and ran under its own flag as a neutral kingdom. While she is not involved with politics, she is one of the richest people in her homeland and holds a powerful sway in many things involving business there.

  L U X Trade Princess of Sidona ________________ Hailing from the city state of Rah'stahn, Trade Princess Lux Dawnbringer is a Shire mare, her horn and wings giving away her heritage as a Unicorn, an equine Furre whose ancestors had some kind of connection to the Light Prime Aristaya. She stands at 10' tall and weighs in at 441 pounds (3 meters, 200 kilograms). Her coat is a soft tawny with dark chocolate markings. A flowing, fiery strawberry blonde makes up the color of her mane, tail, and equine feathers, complimenting her coat and soft, hazel-green eyes. Her wings are large, and like her coat, are dual-colored a soft tawny and dark chocolate. Her clothing consists of lovely red silks trimmed with gold that leave nothing to the imagination, covering only her breasts and crotch. Her jewelry consists of gold bracelets adorning her wrists with strands of red ribbons leading off of them, and gold anklets resting on her lower legs. Fire opal gemstones are embedded in her bracelets, anklets, loincloth, and silken halter top to finish the look.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  A R I S T A Y A Lady of Imagination, Prime of Dreams ________________ Aristaya is a unicorn, known as the creator of Imagination. She often appears in dreams, giving the dreamer a sense of peace, therefore she is frequently called the Granter of Restful Sleep. Descendants of her Half-Prime progeny are still devoted to destroying devotees of her arch-enemy, the Dark Prime Taglinn Tigh. She is responsible for the creation of the Unicorns, equine Furres who either had some kind of connection with her or their ancestors did, causing them to grow wings and sprout a horn. As a result, some Unicorns also have had a connection to Primes in their ancestry, which is then sometimes manifested in future generations. Her object form and symbol are both represented as a paintbrush. You can find out more about the other Primes here.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  T R A D E · P R I N C E S S Inspired by Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV ________________ Trade princes (trade princesses if female) are the four rulers of Sidona, each of whom run their own private army (or armies), hold lands around the world, and collectively control a Trade Coalition. While most are men, it is not unheard of for women to gain such a coveted position. Similar to the Goblins in the Warcraft RPG, the island of Sidona certainly doesn't elect its trade princes, nor are their positions hereditary; the trade princes killed, blackmailed and schemed their way to the top. Due to the nature of politics across the seas, each trade prince will have a private army on contract and most have no qualms about using it to gain money in less than legitimate ways. While Lux is a Trade Princess, she does not control a large force; it is only big enough to protect her own lands and ships. She deals primarily in slaves and goods obtained from ships, be it from wreckage or raids. She is also cunning, intelligent, and not above getting her hands dirty. It is for these reasons that she has earned a spot as a trade princess.
