The Holy History of Lucián and Longina Mertens-Bonnibel

Late 2016 AD: Lucián and Longina Mertens-Bonnibel in Relic Knight Forme and mounted on their mighty Relics, powered up and ready to kick some bad guy butt!

“Into battle but for the grace of Saint Minato march we.”

- The Mertens-Bonnibel Twins

Lucián Liberátusz and Longina Tsukimiya, Relic Knight Prince and Princess of House Mertens-Bonnibel, are born mighty young heroes, Lawful yet playful both. When it's time to hit the road of adventure with their Cyphers, Luce and Longie/Tsuki are formidable enough in their Adventurer Forme in terms of fighting and Esper power. But extreme times call for extreme measures. And when the going gets tough, the tough go Relic Knight.

Say hello to Lucián's and Longina's Knight Forme.

In case I lost you with all that talk about Esper, Knights, Cyphers and Relics, let me spell it out for you: "Questing Knights are individuals who have only recently bonded with their cypher. They are just beginning to master their powers and hope to prove themselves worthy of gaining a Relic. Relic Knights have proven their worth to their cypher and been gifted with the awesome might of a Relic. These death dealing constructs take the knight’s already formidable powers to undreamed of levels." - Relic Knights Rulebook

Which brings us to the Mertens-Bonnibel Twins’ mortal archenemies, for which their Adventurer and Knight Formes exist to do battle with: Oberkanzler Reinhart of the Letzt Battalion (Created by Magellan - Access Compendium Entry Here) and Dark Lord Apocalypse of his Mutant Empire, representing two Lawful Evil extremes united only by their loathing of the Twins for what they stand and fight for.

Representing human supremacism, a lost army of nightmares ripped straight from the pages of WWII superhero comic books, so fond of supreme human purity are Reinhart and his elite Letzt Batallion übersoldaten, the High Super-Goosestepper is justified to thirst for the blood of Finn Mertens for having contaminated his “blood purity” by marrying a mutant like Princess Bubblegum and especially the tainted blood of Lucián and Longina for the hybrid “abominations” he zealously thinks they are... and only when he sees Lucián and Longina impaled and bleeding their last drop of blood on his Longinuslanze will his Dark Crusade end.

Symbols of mutant supremacism, hailing from the Age of Apocalypse, a dark alternate future wherever the strength of Mutantkind and the weakness of Man was, there was the Eternal One’s face worshipped, where the Dark Lord, his Four Horsemen and his Infinite shock troops rule what once was North America is his mutant-dominant Empire with iron fists, for her marriage to a human like Finn Mertens, Apocalypse has judged Princess Bubblegum and for their very hybrid lives, Lucián and Longina Forgotten... and his Unholy War will only end with the bloodline of House Mertens-Bonnibel extinct by his mighty hands.

Both Supervillains have made a grave mistake.

They face Lucián and Longina Mertens-Bonnibel, Bishop-Prince and Bishop-Princess, Firstborn eldest twin children of Finn and Bubblegum, Relic Knights and True Superheroes of Saint Minato.

And in the name of House Mertens-Bonnibel and by the Supreme Being, they make the complete and ultimate cosmic defeat of both Reinhart and Apocalypse their holy mission.
