#outdated lore

But when one day Jinx began to show she had a high engineering intelligence by making functional machinery out of discarded inventions pieces, especially from Hextech gear, Viktor discovered the little star he had saved. Although, he had a hard time explaining the others why she was creating weapons, due the line of thinking from Undercity she still had.

"There's many people there that don't care if you're a kid or an adult, you have to know how to defend yourself." Viktor to Jayce and Heimerdinger.

Viktor approved and followed Heimerdinger's idea of incentive Jinx to create toys instead of weapons.

Time passed and Jinx became more used to the crystals' light and Viktor slowly began inviting her to watch the experiments closer. She ended up becoming their official "little assistant" by Jayce's suggestion (he was more accepting of Jinx by then) much to Viktor's surprise and relief.

Much later, during the construction of the Hexgates, a severe accident happened; a huge energy explosion killed 18 people and injured more than 100 that were in the building. Jinx unfortunately was one of those severely injured victims.

Viktor freaked out when he found out that Jinx had lost part of her right arm and the mobility of her legs. But when he discovered that the accident happened because of a snowball of miscalculations he went into a blind rage, destroying equipment and items in the main hextech lab in front of the entire team. If it wasn't for Jayce restraining him, Viktor would have destroyed everything.

That was when he snapped and realized he saw her as a daughter. His little star, hurt, lost her freedom, got her trauma back to day one because of stupid miscalculations.

His unconditional love for Jinx sent him spending sleepless nights dedicated to research of how to replace her arm and recconect her spine, somehow, with technology.

"Humans aren't perfect, we have limits and when we try to cross this border is when the danger starts. The only thing that can help us surpass our own limits is technology." Viktor's line of thought.

Touched by Viktor's parental love, the Counselor Cassandra decided to invest all the money he would need in such hard research, while Heimerdinger mobilized the entire natural sciences and medicine professionals from the Academy to help him out. It didn't take Jayce too long to join him, pausing the Hexgate's construction for the meantime.

In no time, Viktor's determination moved all the professionals from the entire academy to help him as well and after a long year, the mechanisms were ready.

The surgery took 16 hours and it was a completely success! Jinx had not just her legs' mobility back, but also a mechanical arm that perfectly responded to her brain.

His little star was shining again, even more than before.

All the other people that got injured in the accident by losing or damaging a body member also got threated same way.

Viktor's efforts and determination were recognized by the Council and his family name got raised to higher ranks of Topcity's society: The Aquanima Clan**, the first family from Undercity to have the name in Topcity's high ranks. He won a position within the highest rank in the academy, because of his leadership in such revolutionary way to threat member and organs' "irreversible injures". Thus, the Academy created a support program, with Viktor's supervision and funded by Mel, to give acess to the population to such especial medical threatment. Viktor plan one day to take such program to Undercity as well.

The Hexgate's construction continued with him and Jinx a bit after that "scientific miracle".

Nowadays, Viktor proudly watches his little star shining in the academic community and being a pop star among the young citizens. Although, he feels that the condition of his sickness is starting to regress, even with all the help Jinx and the medical professionals does for him to have a more comfortable and bearable life. He's preparing his daughter, mentally and professionally, to take his place if the time comes.

"I don't care what I need to do to help you out, even if I have to travel to the extreme cold of the Freljord, face Bilgewater's dangers or... I don't know... Noxus? If it's for I get answers I don't care at all, I will find a way to save you!" Jinx to Viktor.

**Aquanima = From Latin, Aqua(water) + Anima(soul), hence the water molecule and soul shape references in the emblem.

Relationships:

Jinx, his foster daughter

Jayce, his hextech science partner and best friend.

Heimendinger, respected ex-mentor and academic counselor partner.

Caitlyn, a friend, he's extreme thankful to her for watch and help Jinx during the time she had to use a wheelchair.

Cassandra, they have a mutual respect.

Mel, he's kinda like neutral about her.

so i’m going to get to the point for acnh: i’d say his house probably looks like a miniature aquarium because it’s filled with fish. yeah he’s got a bed and a desk but half of the latter is taken up by a fish tank so...

about the catboy/miqo’te (he/him)

this is dovae lore! i dove headfirst into character creation and the game itself before thinking about anything character-wise, thus the name… which i did eventually manage to work into his backstory (it’s a nonsense name he gave himself that ended up sticking because he liked the way it sounded)

dovae’s an alchemist by trade! he specialises in concoctions that can alter one’s appearance (hair, eye colour and some body parts). most of it is purely cosmetic, but a small handful of his clientele do come to him specifically for gender reaffirming purposes

while he’s not trans himself, he’s gnc and it took him some time to figure that out for himself. he’s here to help others find themselves through the power of alchemy like he did for himself

he absolutely loves to fish! now more for leisure rather than sustenance, though he does end up eating a decent amount of the fish he catches and he can’t deny that some of what he manages to reel in sells for a pretty penny on the markets

i say he’s an alchemist, but that’s before he became the warrior of light and now that’s the thing he’s the most focused on. he does still fish and create things on the side, but now both of them are side jobs

about the carbuncle (he/it)

his name is brick and he’s shaped like that because dovae decided to play around with the geometries that gave it form

it wasn’t the form he intended for it to have, but his roommate said something along the lines of, “why is it shaped like a brick” and it made dovae laugh so hard that he ended up keeping the name and appearance

about the roommate (oh my god they were roommates) (he/him)

… i don’t actually have a residence in the game, they just always stay in the same inn room wherever they go

his name is shiranami yumite (or just shira for short) he’s an au ra…
