Lunar Dusk
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
((Lunar Dusk is another BaronAzala original, he was my second attempt at a kheldian since I didn't like Peacebringers, I made him originally as more of an evil character with thoughts of joining the Villains of Paragon and had him designed him as being older. However I quickly decided I wanted to make him younger and when the Teen Templars gained momentum I decided I wanted to put him in with them. the rest of the knowledge in here is considered OOC))

Bow-Slinger - Lunar feels he owes Dex alot, he let him into the Teen Templars and even let him stay when he found out he was a Nictus!
Diablo Boy - bit of a spastic and he makes Lunar nervous with how he flits about, but as another shapeshifter he kind of identifies with him and wants to be hi friend
Ultrasound - another Templar that Lunar feels forever indebted too! She forced a confession from Lunar as to why he was always so "darn" nervous and after a long talk and some heartfelt tears she stood by him and supported him. He'll always be grateful for that!
Blase' - She's cute, she's super strong, and best of all she's nice. Lunar had a girlfriend when she was having boy trouble, and if he hadn't well.. he still would have been way too nervous to even think about asking her out!

Enemies
Nobody in specific has ever thought Lunar important enough to single him out specifically, but like most Kheldians he doesn't like the Void Hunters or their backers, the Council.

Personality
Lunar Dusk is very nervous and unsure of himself. Having no memory of his past, but knowing that at some point the Nictus part of himself had done some horrible things, make him afraid that people will just judge him as a bad person right off the bad based on his Nictus heritage. He always has a secret fear that someone is just going to go "Hey... you're a Nictus! SCUM!" and just never talk to him again, and that fear is what makes him stutter and stammer his way thru a conversation.
Fear of the Undead
Lunar has a nasty phobia of the undead. Zombies, ghosts, and all forms of unlife sicken him both physically and mentally. As a Nictus he naturally absorbs life energy to stay alive. And althoug he has weened himself off directly feeding on people he does absorb the ambient life energy of people near him as they give it off. Nothing serious as this energy is expended by the act of living and is given off naturally by all living things. However in undead this energy is disturbing and rotten to him. To Lunar, being around the undead is like when you smell something so powerful and bad that you can almost taste it and it tastes awful. For Lunar its like that but for all his senses. He can actually taste the undead, and they taste awful!
Name
When a Kheldian Merges with a human they get three names. They have their human name, their kheldian name and they get a new name for the merged state. the only name Lunar Dusk knows is his merged name. Lunar Dusk. But since joining the Templars he has a new name! Given to him by his former girlfriend, they came up with Vincent. So thats what he calls himself. It was a little awkward at first but now he's gotten used to it and really likes it when people call him it.
Amnesia?
Thats right, Lunar Dusk or Vincent, has High grade Merger Amnesia. Sometimes memory loss and personality changes are common with a Kheldian Human Merger, and even moreso in Nictus mergers. Lunar Dusk's case is not usual though. According to Shadowstar, his mentor and leader of the Warshades, his merger must have been during an unusually stressful time.
History
Lunar Dusk was found on the shores of Talos island one morning, naked and unconscious. He was taken to the hospital and when he awoke his blasted nictus energy thru the ceiling from his eyes! One of the nurses, happened to be a hero indisguise and was able to get in contact with Shadowstar, and tell her about the incident. given some cloths and put in her custody, it was soon apparent Lunar Dusk had no memory of his former life nor his nictus'. In fact he didn't know much of anything, only his merged name. Shadowstar didn't belive in withholding the harsh truth so she laid down the facts, hard and blunt. This is what has shaped Lunar Dusk's personality into what it is now.
Teen Templars
After a few weeks of training with Shadow Star he learned how to form his own costume with his Nictus energy and set off as a new hero. Shadowstar felt bad that she had shoved all the Nictus history on Lunar after she realized how traumatic it was for him and set up a meeting with a newly formed hero group for kids his age. The Teen Templars! He joined the Templars and made some new friends, and even went on a few adventures! He's still a nervous wreck though.
