NAMEUnknownALIASEuphoria
The Invisible Hand
The Prince of ProsperityCOLORDark OrangeALIGNMENTVillainIDENTITYSecretPERSONALITYA great human author once referred to the 'banality of evil', an idea which many other sapient species understood on an essential level, but lacked the vocabulary to put into words. They did not, however, lack for illustrative examples, and in recent cosmic history one name became the most repeated one among radical thinkers.
If evil is banal, then very few beings could embody this axiom better than Euphoria. Here is a being whose response to deep existential angst and alienation in his youth was to embark on an centuries-long pursuit of his own happiness through great material growth. Upon seeing the universe he lived in as an uncaring and purposeless place, he chose to uncaringly exploit the riches of that universe to craft a purpose for himself. A committed egotist and hedonist, his endless accumulation of wealth is not a mere expression of blind greed, but rather a 'rational' pathway to an equally endless consumption. As much an ideologue as he is an entrepeneur, his flaws are not born from some mental defect, but from his wholehearted devotion to a 'rational' philosophy which places each individual as a heroic creature, looking out solely for his own selfish interests and nobody else's. Humans might describe him as a 'libertine' or an 'objectivist', though he would reject any labels that were not his own.
Euphoria is adamantly jovial, friendly, playful and witty. As a public figure, he is attracting, bewitching even. Those lucky enough to be in his good graces might even find him likeable. However, his personal relationships are shaped by his philosophy as much they are by his business interests: the well-being of others is always secondary to the economy and the bliss he derives from it. Thus, he is uncaring or self-exculpatory towards those he exploits, and has betrayed many so-called 'friends' over the centuries for the sake of his individual journey. There are, in fact, few things he would not do to protect the system which helped him become the person he is today and to further expand his riches. To him, the value of life is wholly dependent on its necessity within the structure and his plans, and all life but his own can suddenly become expendable.
The spiritual leader and unofficial CEO of the League for a Bright Future exists in a state of near-perpetual revelry. Music and light follow him wherever he goes, and he dances and sings to its beats constantly. Aesthetics are a major concern of his, sometimes equal in importance to raw practicality. His semi-nomadic economic empire is a neon-colored behemoth of audiovisual entertainment as well as production and trade, bringing his message of cheerful nihilism and eternal capitalism to all worlds it comes across.
Euphoria's ultimate goal is in the name he has chosen for himself: to someday possess so many material riches that he finds a true, transcendental kind of happiness, which he can experience for all eternity. His utopia is a universe without governments, without any social structures or hierarchies other than the many corporations that comprise the League for a Bright Future. For reasons unknown to all but himself, this long path towards paradise recently came to include one small blue world in the Milky Way, a world which had long evaded his ravenous attention...ORIGINAlthough his birthname and family have been lost in time, some fairly reliable facts about Euphoria's beginnings are either a matter of public knowledge or easily inferred.
We know, for instance, that he was born on a beautiful planet called Lamuella, located in an inner arm of the Triangulum galaxy. Despite his many changes over time, it is undeniable that he was once just like most native inhabitants of Lamuella: a tall, pale-skinned, colorful-haired humanoid. What his childhood was like remains a mystery, but he would later claim that he was a mostly happy, lively boy with a head full of big questions and equally big ambitions. He was also, by his own admission, a cosmic dualist, though he never revealed the nature of his paradox.
When his paradox finally revealed itself, however, its effect was dramatic. Faced with the inner workings of the Universe laid bare before him, Euphoria experienced a terrible existential crisis. Where cosmomancers found a positive, beautiful purpose in their discovery, Euphoria found the opposite: a complete and utter purposelessness, a feeling of emptiness and loneliness. To him, the Universe no longer had any mysteries or meaning, and all he had to look forward to was the end of his cosmically brief life.
It is clear that he eventually found an answer to this anguish, in the form of adopting a philosophy of egotism and hedonism, with his goals being a vast material wealth, absolute pleasure and, ultimately, immortality. With this aim in mind, he claimed the Lamuellan word for 'euphoria' as his name and departed his homeworld, determined to become a great interplanetary magnate. He enjoyed a precocious but massive success in his endeavor, founding his own megacorporation while he was still a young man and then becoming one of the leading members of the League for a Bright Future.
A millennia-old coalition of merchants, industrialists and media moguls, the League had long been one of the dominant economic forces in its own region of Triangulum, its influence transcending mere supply and demand, and often surpassing the power of planetary and interplanetary governments. Yet with Euphoria's arrival the League found its true calling, unshackling itself from its ancient restraints as a mere corporate alliance to become an almighty nomadic empire, one which held in its hands the destiny of billions upon billions of workers and consumers. In its new form, the League took it upon itself to not only create wealth for its own members, but to also reshape the ideals of all peoples it encountered, to purposefully create and cultivate its very own cultural hegemony on a galactic or even intergalactic scale.
Euphoria became the League's de facto leader, due to his rising media popularity as the living embodiment of the League's 'dream' for all sapient consumers. His everyday life of fun and glamour glossed over the everyday actions of the League as a whole. While billions watched enraptured his many wild adventures and even wilder parties, the League participated in the galactic slave trade, genocided entire native populations to claim their planets' natural resources, and undermined the various interplanetary workers' syndicates. When a few member corporations of the League rebelled against his leadership, the public themselves boycotted them unprompted, out of loyalty to Euphoria and the League's brand. Legendary and powerful objects were recovered, only to be immediately bought and hoarded by the League, before any governments could get a hold of them. During this time, Euphoria enjoyed the company of countless highly publicized lovers, involved himself in great heroic exploits (or what League-owned media depicted as great heroic exploits), and allegedly engaged in philantropy while advocating for his own individualistic philosophy.
By the end of his first century in the League, Euphoria had already achieved immortality through his technological enhancements and become one of the wealthiest beings in Triangulum. But he was not even close to satisfied yet, and so he pushed to take the League across dark space, to new galaxies, at a great expense and with varying success.
Today, over five hundred years after his birth, Euphoria remains an inspiring (and intimidating) figure in Triangulum. And with the League's newfound footholds in the outer reaches of Andromeda and the Milky Way, his fame has began to spread into new worlds. He continues his journey to reach ever greater joy through growth and consumption, all the while maintaining a deceptively gentle control on the League.
Euphoria's recent, sudden interest in the Milky Way (and, more specifically, to an inhabited planet in the Orion-Cygnus Arm of the galaxy) has gone largely unexplained, even to his peers in the League. Only vague words about great opportunities and success have come from the generally talkative man when asked about the matter. All that is known for sure is that the League's ship have begun to land on various planets closer to the galactic center, bringing with them the League's many material wonders and offers of investment and trade.HERO TYPEMystic / Other
Much like other cosmic dualists, he is a very unique sort of magician, whose powers derive not from supernatural forces per se, but from the rare but natural paradoxes and singularities that take places in the Cosmos.POWER LEVELCosmicPOWERSMATERIAL MAGIC
As far as anybody knows, Euphoria was never a cosmomancer, yet he somehow wields the same sort of power that cosmomancers do. Matter itself bends to his will, albeit in a limited form compared to other cosmic dualists. He can force matter to rearrange or disintegrate itself, though not create it from nothing, and at a moderate scale for now. Rather than rely on the crude tools of the cosmomancers, their anchors and beacons, Euphoria has commissioned his own refined and durable tools for the job, now integrated into his physiology. This means that his power, though relatively diminished, is more stable and reliable than it is for cosmomancers.
BIONIC PHYSIOLOGY
Robotic prosthetics, neural implants, and genetically engineered organs are all a part of Euphoria now, added and replaced over the decades as he leg go of his innate biological limitations and amassed an ever larger fortune with which he could finance it all. The end result is a body that's faster, stronger, more resilient and smarter than that of many organic beings. Thanks to his most recent additions, he is now able to transfer at least parts of his consciousness to new vessels, should the need arise, and communicate with the artificial intelligence in his service with ease. He can even survive, if only for short periods of time, in the vacuum of space.ATTRIBUTESHEIGHT 2,32 m

ENDURANCE 5 hours
AGILITY 15X Human level

FIGHTING SKILL Untrained
RESOURCES ExtremeWEAKNESSESPowerful though he may be, Euphoria is not a warrior. He has never faced off against a foe in single combat, mostly relying instead on his allies and employees when necessary. He has some experience in using his powers for destruction, but lacks proper training and technique.
His body is not invulnerable to damage either, despite its enhancements. Electricity and radiation specially pose a threat to him.SUPPORTING CHARACTERSTHE ASSEMBLY OF TOMORROW, The totality of the League's members meet regularly, in person or remotely, in the form of this assembly. As of these days, the assembly has over one hundred and thirteen member corporations, each with its own representative. Technically speaking, Euphoria's opinion only weighs as much as that of the other members.
THE BRIGHT ENVOYS, Euphoria's explorers, ambassadors and occasional vanguard. Kidnapped from their home planets and bionically enhanced, they number in the hundreds, although he has several favorites who he dotes on.
Currently on the road, so I’ll take a look at this when I’m back from my day trip. Unless Ded or Hound wanted to take a crack before I’m able

Let me know if anything's wrong with her or something needs to be changed.
Character you have created: Arista Joy
Alias: Altair
Speech Color: Apricot
Character Alignment: Walking the Line
Identity: Secret, thos she does tell Caelum once she becomes more comfortable with her 'job'.
Character Personality: Arista is a perfectionist at heart, a trait that bleeds into both of her personas. She's an idealist who wishes for things to be a certain way, and easily gets distressed when they are not. She holds herself and others to unrealistically high standards, and gets distressed when these standards are not met as well. This leads to her being self-deprecating - because she doesn't meet her own standards - and critical of others - because those others do not meet her standards. Arista wishes to learn and to understand, to know the details of every little thing, because to be ignorant is to stray from perfection. She isn't content to just accept things the way that they are. This leads to her being an over-analytical, neurotic worrier. Very stubborn, because she tries very hard to stick to her own carefully considered views and standards of perfection, and is not easily shifted from this path.
She can be pretty pessimistic and assumes the worst due to these unrealistic standards. She thinks and plans before she acts; she isn't the type who will resort to rash, impulsive behavior, and will panic if she can't plan in advance. When it comes to intimacy, it's easier for her to reject and hate things than it is for her to love and embrace them. Her interests and tastes are picked carefully, and she gives a lot of attention to each one, and holds them close to her heart, rather than having many fleeting interests that change quickly and often. She argues using reason, evidence, logic, and explanations, delivered analytically or with pleading. She only argues to set wrongs right, rather than to assert dominance.
Arista responds poorly to compliments, often 'rebutting' them by saying that she's not so great after all. She's an idealist, who imagines perfect fantasies and feels upset when things don't live up to these fantasies. She's extremely introverted that comes from her perfectionism. Once she has someone to talk to in a quiet and relaxed environment, she can talk a lot and will enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas. Prefers having a few close friends to many acquaintances and is moved deeply by beauty, and by distress. She is very easily hurt, because of her perfectionist tendencies, responding to things that she dislikes with misery and with tears rather than with rage. Very slow to 'snap', but will hold onto emotions for a very long time. She's not exactly aggressive, but more wishes to flee from things that cause them distress but doesn't stray from what she wants.
Uniform/costume: See picture. As well as her normal clothing, from pjs to a revamped version of one of her old school uniforms, but tends to stick to solid black colors if she's prepared. With all these outfits, she normally wears a black cap of sorts with a diamond emblem in the front (it also being what most people know her for), the same design as the tattoo on the nape of her neck.
Origin Info/Details:Arista was born into a rather normal family...well as normal as it could get. Being the middle child of Eun-ji and Samuel Joy, as well as the only girl, Arista definitely had a lot to watch and learn from the Korean-America family she was placed into. She was often pushed to the side by her parents because she was the least out of the three to cause any problems for them. And with that mindset being shoved into her brain for as long as she could remember, Arista striven to keep it that way. She focused on her studies, how she was looked at within the general public, and did her best to remain out of trouble for the sake of her parents being too busy with Eun and Adam.
Because of her upbringing, Arista was always seen as the one on the top of the food chain at school. The most popular, pretty, and smartest queen bee everyone was looking at. This didn't come without some attitude from the girl due to her perfectionist tendencies, but also didn't keep her from having friends. Her first was Caelum, someone of similar 'status' as her. They hit it off quite quickly and became best friends in a matter of days meeting up in high school. Second was Sage, who was a part of the student council at her school, starting out as a feud and ending with them becoming pretty good friends upon seeing where their interests lie.
It would also be these friends who eventually tell her that she might be a little too perfect for her own good, something that of course made Arista confused as to how she could make herself better by being less perfect. The three try to come up with ways to bring Arista closer to Earth, even getting Eun and Adam to help out, but it seemed to mostly be in vain...until one day she stops upon a fancy looking tattoo parlor on her way home.
She had never seen the place before, even on her walks to and from school, so it was definitely a large sight for her to behold. Curiosity getting the better of her, the girl steps in, only to see a young man behind one of the tattoo chairs, like she's waiting for her. He asked her if she would like a tattoo free of charge, and Arista was about to decline before her mind went back to 'bringing herself closer to Earth'. A tattoo would be cool right? And technically it was an imperfection on her skin, so that count?
Taking the risk, Arista chose to get a tattoo, the shape of a bold black diamond on the nape of her neck, something simple that she could hide with her hair. At first she thought nothing really of it, but once she woke up the next morning, things were definitely weird. She had more tattoos on her body, but they were different pictures of other things in her room. In order to get down to the bottom of it, Arista returned back to the tattoo parlor and confronted the man in hopes he could explain what was going on, and that he did, introducing himself as Dee and that they would working together from now on. With no real say on the situation, Arista was pulled into the supernatural world with Dee and his unknown motives...
Who would've thought a impromptu trip to the tattoo parlor would lead to this?
Hero Type: Shapeshifter
Power Level: City
Powers: Arista has the power to store objects of any shape or kind inside of her body, so long as they aren't bigger than her body. For example, if she were to store a knife, she'd push the weapon into her forearm and allow it to sink into her body. Once she's done so, a tattoo of said item will appear where she placed it, in this case her forearm. She can store as many things as she wants inside of her so long as there's space on her skin; no overlapping of tattoos.
Another ability of her's is digesting the DNA of a specific person or animal to be able to shift into them for 20 minutes, so long as they aren't bigger than herself. She can even store parts of her own body inside of her to add on traits from other animals and people. For example, she can store her ears in favor of cat ears.
Attributes:
Weaknesses:Arista only has so much space on her body that she can use to store items and can easily be stopped by metal detectors and the sort if she has anything like that on her. Shrinking herself self down to smaller sizes doesn't shrinks the items on her body. This could lead to intense pain if she isn't paying attention to it. Not to mention she's only human...

Bzzt...Bzzt...Bzzt...
A sleepy sigh escaped the dark beige haired teen's mouth as she rolled over in bed, reaching a hand out from under the covers to grab the vibrating phone on her dresser. Once she slid the device under the blankets to get a view of who was calling, as well as what time it was, Arista honestly thought it was a joke. Making a quick attempt to roll her squinted eyes, the young girl answered her phone as painfully slow as she could.
"How the fuck did you get my phone number...and how did I get yours..." She slurred, the comment coming out more as a statements then questions.
"I thought you would be glad to hear from me~" It really did irk her that the man sounded wide awake...just what was he doing at a time like this exactly?
"It's like 4:00am, and a school night...morning...you know what I mean. What...what do you want..." She groaned in response, letting out a yawn in the process. And what followed was silence...for quite a while too. At first she thought it was because the other was trying to be petty and keep her up all night, but what he said next made the girl almost fall out of bed.
"You know, you sound pretty cute when you're tired."
"I'm 16 you pedo!" The girl instantly retaliated, finally sitting up in bed now that she was fully away. One of her birds, Licht, and also the closest to her best out of the five, looked over with wide eyes at her little outburst.
"I'd keep it down if I were you. You're suppose to keep our conversations as private as possible. I didn't make this private line just for you to screw it up." Dee hummed, much too cheerily for Arista's liking. "..." Thankfully, her family either ignored or failed to hear her yelling, which was both a good and bad thing in her eyes, but she chose not to dwell on it as her attention was focused back on the phone call.
"Anyways, I need you to come to the parlor, I got a job for you that needs to be completed tonight and you're the only one on my list that can take care of it." Arista squinted at this as she slowly stepped out of bed, the wooden floor underneath her creeking slightly as she walked over to her closet.
"Why do I feel like you're just saying that--"
"Come on now, enough talk, you time is my money. We can just talk once you get here." Ans with that, he hung up.
Frowning deeply at the turn of events, the bird hoarder quickly put together some black clothes from her things and swiftly put it on. She couldn't exactly say she was use to doing this type of thing, but she definitely knew for sure that she'd be a zombie come the next few hours when she had to get ready for school... Once she felt as if she was ready to head out into the dark city surrounding her both symbolically and literally, Arista glanced back at the closet and retrieved the hat Dee had given her to help mask her face. Not really finding it that helpful but knowing that the deranged tattoo artist would be expecting her to wear it, the long haired girl grabbed it, but didn't put it on just yet. That was for when she was fully outside.
After ensuring her phone was somewhere tattooed on her body, Arista then pulled out some used rope that started from her shin, and ended at her hip bone. The actual feeling of pulling things out of her skin like so was definitely on the more uncomfortable side, but this whole situation was uncomfortable so could she really complain? Once she got the rope completely off of her, the girl proceeded to wrap one end on the bedroom frame and the other hang out the window after she opened it. And being one of the many things she was pretty good at, Arista hopped out the window and onto the ground, using the rope for support. She didn't want to just leave the rope hanging, so she instead hooked the other end to the top of one of the higher windows, that way no normal person could get it without using other tools; not her best fix, but she'd get better at it with time...wait, was he planning to make this a regular thing?
Furrowing her brows at the thought of coming up with a way to get out the house more discretely, Arista hurried down the street, placing her black cap squarely on her head. Goodbye for now Arista, and hello Altair...

"Anyways, I need you to come to the parlor, I got a job for you that needs to be completed tonight and you're the only one on my list that can take care of it." Arista squinted at this as she slowly stepped out of bed, the wooden floor underneath her creeking slightly as she walked over to her closet.
"Why do I feel like you're just saying that--"
"Come on now, enough talk, you time is my money. We can just talk once you get here." Ans with that, he hung up.
Frowning deeply at the turn of events, the bird hoarder quickly put together some black clothes from her things and swiftly put it on. She couldn't exactly say she was use to doing this type of thing, but she definitely knew for sure that she'd be a zombie come the next few hours when she had to get ready for school... Once she felt as if she was ready to head out into the dark city surrounding her both symbolically and literally, Arista glanced back at the closet and retrieved the hat Dee had given her to help mask her face. Not really finding it that helpful but knowing that the deranged tattoo artist would be expecting her to wear it, the long haired girl grabbed it, but didn't put it on just yet. That was for when she was fully outside.
After ensuring her phone was somewhere tattooed on her body, Arista then pulled out some used rope that started from her shin, and ended at her hip bone. The actual feeling of pulling things out of her skin like so was definitely on the more uncomfortable side, but this whole situation was uncomfortable so could she really complain? Once she got the rope completely off of her, the girl proceeded to wrap one end on the bedroom frame and the other hang out the window after she opened it. And being one of the many things she was pretty good at, Arista hopped out the window and onto the ground, using the rope for support. She didn't want to just leave the rope hanging, so she instead hooked the other end to the top of one of the higher windows, that way no normal person could get it without using other tools; not her best fix, but she'd get better at it with time...wait, was he planning to make this a regular thing?
Furrowing her brows at the thought of coming up with a way to get out the house more discretely, Arista hurried down the street, placing her black cap squarely on her head. Goodbye for now Arista, and hello Altair...

"I suppose I kind of deserved it when you pushed me into that rift. I had almost killed innocent people."
"I don't think you're a bad person, Claudia..." Said Gabriel. "But you think, say and do terrible things a bit too often."
"Maybe you should consider the possibility that we're looking at things through different lenses?" She said, grabbing the 'gift' from Gabriel's hand. "You spend your time either doing the smallest things or protecting the galaxies alongside the others in far away worlds. I'm the only one of the two who actually picks the big battles taking place right on Earth."
"The moment you pick a side in those battles, though, you're making a political decision."
"Of course I'm making a political decision," she said. "But so are you, you dumbfuck. The only difference is that your political decisions when it comes to Earth boil down to doing the bare minimum because you're scared of your own convictions."
"Claudia, I'm a bisexual Christian socialist who joined a libertarian commune of space wizards. If I start making major decisions on Earth, I'm definitely going to alienate a lot of people."
He sighed.
"You don't have that problem, because you're always on the 'right' side. You're on the side of the people who just want things to be 'normal' and comfortable. But what if what's 'normal' is actually awful in its own right?"
She said nothing.
He said nothing.
They let a couple minutes pass, gazed at the auroras some more, then simultaneously decided that it was time to do what they had come here to do.
Tour de Force!
I didn't know whether to like it, laugh with it or give thanks for it, so I did all three. Fantastic post!

Thank you! You guys all seem really nice already! I'll join the Discord once I'm on my laptop ^^. Just as a warning though, I'm not much of a talker on there (I'm actually really shy and nervous to, sorry \(>///<)/ ) so if I'm really quiet on there, that's why.
Also, where would be a good place to jump in, or should I just make an introductory post and go from there?

Yo, I'm back but the Wi-Fi is out right now so I can't upload pics of my trip. posts will resume in about a week when school starts. pheonix's character sheet is coming Tuesday since school doesn't start till Wednesday, so I may have some free time.
Note:(not in purple because it's important)be aware I have ap English, so in stereo is gonna have a lot of hiatuses. Because of this, the posts are gonna come out a bit longer as the year goes on, meaning right now shorter posts, but later on like probably in November, expect longer posts that will come out two weeks at a time. If I need to take break I will let you guys know, and by break I mean spending the next update time doing research papers and shit. But other than that, everything else is kind of planned out story wise, so don't worry about that lol.

No problem. School comes first.

Finally managed to get my head out from my bum in order to write an actual, proper post, and I have to say, I'm all kinds of grateful that I've been able to move into this at my own pace.
Speaking of being grateful, a massive thanks to @nitemare shapefor making me an awesome banner for Noir, as well as for being so laid back and supportive whilst I got my %$@! together, to @Dedonus for having the patience to withstand all my lore questions (and those yet to come =P) and to @DearTricksterfor helping me get over my writer's block and turn David into so much more than he initially was, as well as being a bloody good editor and just an all around rockstar.
Now... let's do this.
