#daccapri

Fig 1. Sage Attire: Pictured from Left to Right: Balder, Daccapri ( @tacticaldivine ), Cordelia and Serenity ( @umbran-rose ) and Llewelyn ( @orbiicat ).

Fig 2. Pious Plumage: This is more like a passive ability than an active one(?) Just wanted to highlight feather usage as a summoning medium and spell conduit.

Fig 3. Heavenly Body and Celestial Body: Used Aesir cause it helps sell the whole star theming. Originally intended to be a feature unique to Daccapri, Heavenly Body is a technique to mirror the Wicked Weaves of the Witches. In-Game we know all of Balder's kicks are replaced with spell casting but I do like the idea of Sage's being able to go toe-to-toe with a witch without the use of the Laguna. Even at the sacrifice of a unique moveset.

Fig 4. Supercharge. The Lumen's answer to Serious Mode. Granting them access to a seemingly endless supply of feathers and the ability to fly; increasing their attack and movement speed. Balder has both Supercharge and Serious Mode but, the way in which I built Daccapri's moveset does not require the difference so it’s not here, sorry.

Fig 5: Divine Intervention. Lumen ver. of Demon Slave. Because Lumens are intended to not rely on the Angels the same way Umbra do their Demons; I imagine this is a very rare occurrence for them. At the same time, those angels are mouthy as hell so calling them to mildly inconvenience them to fight is too fun.

Fig 6. Heavenly Virtue: These coins represent a user's lifeforce and the more coins are added the more stress it puts on the Sage. The stronger the angel, the more coins are required. The simple concept of having to bribe them to show up is sillay. Visually coins would appear like the score medallions at the end of each chapter.

Fig 7. Heavenly Virtue pt 2: Daccapri is half angle half demon half human, get over it. Having been born to a Witch and her pact demon, and then blood bonded to Argosax; yeah its safe to say she has more than enough qualifications to summon a demon without explicit training in doing so. Daccapri would pride herself in her inherent ability to harm angels, so I don't believe she'd be upset that she can't do the ritual.

Genoveva is a powerful human born witch. Her most important feat is that she was one of the witches present for the construction of the Golems. She helps equip trainee witches with the proper weapon to defeat angels. From her time working alongside them, Genoveva is an expert of Lumen Sage practices, powers and methods.

She's old af don't ask me specifics but I think she's pushing 2000 yrs. After losing control of a Golem, and her close association with the Lumen gets her labelled a traitor during the Clan Wars and she's handed over to the Sages as a peace offering.

Genoveva being tied to a demon of luck makes it easier for the Lumen to bind Argosax to her. Using her own probability manipulation against her. But it kind of shatters her mind a bit, and fucks up her physical form.

The idea is that they’re anointing her in a sense. Binding a being of supposed light to this witch who’s dedicated herself to darkness. And then with whatever’s left they’re like “Hey girlie! Wake up we have a war to win!” And Daccapri’s like “okayyy yayyyy” cause she got no memory and she’s really got no choice in the matter. Does she regret it? Probably but it’s one of those things that kind of goads her into becoming a better person. And as she begins to remember more, why she goes out of her way to document any occult stuff later down the line. It’s like, can’t go back and fix it. So use it to let her become a better person

A lot of the way Genoveva/Daccapri/Abernathy operate is that there's In Universe rumors about who they are but most of the accurate history is obscured on purpose. So if you're confused yeah I can't fix that I be changing it on every whim ngl.

gun to my head approximate time periods for each one to be "alive":

Genoveva: 419 - 1413 Daccapri: 1413 - 1984 Abernathy: 1984(?) - Present

On a separate note; also slowly picking away at remaking her combat suit. Obvious aside, I wanted her to be wielding pieces of the Umbran Armor. She's stupid tall I think its fun for her to be wielding a comically large weapon. Leaning more into Roman vibes for it cause gladiators on the brain
