Lunar Lupun
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
My main character, L.L. started out as an experiment of the often heard of Dark Defender. He evolved from my love of Sentai shows and the concept of a magical version of Iron Man, IE the ability to have highly specialized suits from artifacts. L.L. has a lot of history that has been created over the four years that I have played him. The first being on the Champion server. As such his history is now a combination of both experiences, the Champion Server year being heavily modified into L.L.'s teenage years.

Character History
Personality
A optimist at heart, Zack is known to always see the good in every person he meets. This also tends to get him into more trouble then many think he is worth. He is known to be incredibly shy around women and to get himself mixed up in with unusual male friends. Though outgoing and driven, his most cherished time is actually watching random passer by on any random sidewalk.
As Lunar Lupun he is confident and brave, willing to put his life on the line for people that barely, if at all, deserve it. He has been known to go into what some could call a blood haze where he sees the battle in front of him and nothing else. There is a theory by a Crey Corporation observer assigned to him of why such a haze and accompanying negative energy spike that sometimes appears during battle, but little else has been discovered.
Morality
Zack is guided by a powerful sense of judgment. He feels that there is a celestial balance in what is right and what is wrong. That there is an inherent good and evil in every heart and it is up to the person them self to choose their destiny.
He feels that one must always tell the truth, for your word is your bond.
He feels that one must always keep their promises.
He feels that one must always back their words. If you are to insult someone you must be prepared to defend yourself.
Powers
Lunar Lupun's powers come directly from the artifacts he may wear. The Ring of Fenris gifts him with enhanced metabolism, healing, strength and agility. The Clasp of Hel gifts him with the ability to manipulate the dark energies of the world around him. Both artifacts give him this ability through power suits.
The Suit
Once an artifact is worn and his personal trigger word is spoke, "Henshin", Zack's entire body is wrapped in some unknown substance that takes the form of a power suit. The power and design of the suit varies but both give him a limited invulnerability to basic injury.
The Ring of Fenris
The Ring of Fenris grants Lunar Lupun a wide variety of abilities. Most notably is the ability to quickly regenerate from nearly any wound. On a lesser scale he is also gifted with enhanced strength, faster reflexes and amazing agility.
Strength
Zack's strength while in the suit pushes his physical body to the limit. In terms of sheer strength it has been observed that he can bench press up to close to 600 lbs. The majority of his strength is shown off during his leaping which has been measured up to 50 ft.
Agility
The suits ability to increase Zack's agility is it's greatest ability. It has been shown that he is able to contort and stretch his body in a variety of ways. Together with the increased strength allows Zack to stand toe to toe with even the mightiest of foes.
Martial Arts
Since receiving the artifact, Zack has taken up to self training himself in Martial Arts to match his new abilities. He has named the style "Wolf's Paw" to reflect his low to the ground, quick strike fighting style.
The Clasp of Hel
The Clasp of Hel grants Lunar Lupun a wide variety of spells. The spells manipulate dark and life energies of his foes.
Character History
The Short History of the Michaels Clan
Through the ages of magic and mystery single clans of Irish men have been charged with protecting the mortal realm from magical forces. The Michaels clan, named after the Christian Arch Angel, were handed the legendary Caladbog after the final turn of Irish mythology by The Circle of Ancients.
The Circle is a powerful band of mystics that have gained the power to exist outside the rise and fall of mythology. Their insight into the base power of the magical realm recognized that it’s threads can be pulled to such a point that the entirety of existence may fall as well.
The first charge, Ryan Michaels, protected the realm of Europe, wielding Caladbog against the forces that wished to take all the power onto them and rip the fabric of space. However, it became evident that the power hungry wizards were not the only power that endangered all of existence. Creatures from beyond time and space, beyond recollection began to slip through the tears in reality.
When Ryan passed the sword onto his son, Fechin, he had lost his mind long ago. Through counsel with The Circle Fechin decided to begin his search for other relics of power to aid the ever increasing battle. Over time he gain the insight to see through the veil of hate and darkness the creatures beyond the veil used.
As the days of Fechin drew to a close, another generation of Michaels took up the artifacts of their father. The clan spread, and with it the power to battle against the ever spreading power of magic.
The sword Caladbog served at the side of the clan’s leader until the modern times. While battling one of the chaotic creatures beyond the veil, the mighty sword was shattered while in the hands of Alexander Michaels. The majority of the sword was lost in the battle, leaving the mighty claymore a shadow of its former self.
By the idea born of his son, Leon, Alexander had the sword re forged into a fitting shape that reflects the amount of metal left, a Katana. Aggravated by his own failure Alexander turned away from the Michaels clan’s charge and gave the mantle to his sister, Serina Michaels.
Serina soon married a man name Michael Zen, an Asian American who came from a long line of martial artists. Together they had a child named him Zackary, continuing the line of Christian names.
As Serina and Michael raised their son the mantle of the leader of the Clan was given to Leon. Having trained through High School in Kendo he picked up the re forged sword and began his quest in the new nexus of magical power, Paragon City.
Through many trials and tribulations Leon eventually fell to forces outside of magic, the Alien leaders of the Council. He became the personal guardian of a clown that had started a symbiotic relationship with an alien before being controlled by the Council.
Serina, hearing of the fall of yet another of the clan turned to her now teenage son. She bestowed him with one of the relics of power from the long dead Nordic Gods, the Ring of Fenris. However she did it without his notice and without explanation to the true power it held. She believed that the boy must first endure one of the most corrupt artifacts within the family before being given the mantle and the true scope of his charge.
Over his time in High School, Zack grew into a Hero without any idea of his lineage. He became romantically involved with a woman his age that also showed magical prowess. In the end however, she would fall by the demonic power that gave her strength and Zack would fall to the temptation of the ring. In his feral rage he ripped the demon asunder.
When he came to he became disgusted with himself and vowed to never enter such a state again. He moved to Paragon City soon after and began college, where he faced Leon for the first time. As the two battled, magical relic and blood lineage flared like never before. The control over Leon snapped and was freed from the medaling of the Council.
Together they battled within Paragon City for several months until Leon decided to fade from the fighting scene, finding solace in teaching. Zack, still unaware of his lineage returned to college. His fighting skill grew to new heights and new relationships were created.
His time in College came to an end and he choose to dedicate his life to battling the villains of the city, Serina decided it was time to bestow the full mantle onto her son.
