Lunar Thorne - Character ProfileBasic Info
Name: Lunar Thorne
Age: 16 (born in 2009 in this parallel world; reincarnated with memories of a 28-year-old graphic designer from our Earth)
Nationality: American (born and raised in Los Angeles, California)
Occupation/Goal: Founder and CEO of "Ethereal Echoes," an ethical VTuber agency prioritizing fair contracts, mental health, and creative freedom. Debuts as "Aether," a self-rigged 9-tailed kitsune VTuber, leading by example to prevent corruption. Engages in chats, gaming (e.g., VR rhythm games, cozy sims), and collabs with agency talents.
Appearance: Anime-esque beauty with striking androgyny: silky black shoulder-length wavy hair, vivid blue eyes with a glowing quality, pale white skin like porcelain, petite build (5'4", 130 lbs). No body or facial hair. Soft, melodic feminine voice perfect for VTubing. Wears gender-fluid outfits: slim jeans, flowy tops, tailored vests, moon-shaped pendant.
Sexuality: Gay, open but understated, adding warmth to his chill demeanor.
World Context: Parallel Earth with divergences: 1990s VR boom made VTubing mainstream by 2010. Stronger U.S.-Mexico ties from a progressive 2000s president; 2008 Antarctic collapse spurred climate tech; earlier Cold War end (1989) fostered global tech collaboration.
Background and Reincarnation
Past Life: Chill 28-year-old graphic designer in Seattle, into gaming, anime, and VTubers. Died in a car accident, reincarnated here in 2009. Memories surfaced gradually, fully by age 10.
Family: Wealthy Thorne family owns a VR tech conglomerate (thriving due to milder dot-com bust). Supportive but distant parents provide elite resources; Lunar funds his agency with inheritance but seeks independent success via VTubing and investing.
Motivation: Build a corruption-free VTuber haven, inspired by Earth's scandals. As "Aether," he creates kind, innocent, cute content to inspire fans. Aims to globalize VTubing using transcendent talents and financial acumen.
Apex System Mechanics
Overview: Awakened at birth (2009), the soul-bound Apex System grants 1 Skill Point (SP) per month automatically. By August 11, 2025 (age 16 years, ~7 months), Lunar has ~199 SP. It's a mental skill tree; talents are "discovered" through exposure or intent and only appear when leveled to at least Lv1 (from Lv0 baseline, where they are hidden).
Talent Progression and Costs: Levels cost incrementally: Lv1 (1 SP), Lv2 (+2=3 total), Lv3 (+3=6 total), Lv4 (+4=10 total), Lv5 (+5=15 total). Level 5 is supernatural, exceeding human limits with instant inspiration, revolutionary techniques, and hyper-intuitive effects (e.g., predictive insights, near-mystical efficiency).
Level 0 (Undiscovered): Human baseline; talent doesn't show in the system until leveled.
Level 1 (Beginner): Weeks of training equivalent (1 SP).
Level 2 (Skilled): Years of professional experience (3 SP total).
Level 3 (Expert): Elite mastery of techniques (6 SP total).
Level 4 (Master): World-class, seamless intuition (10 SP total).
Level 5 (Transcendent): Supernatural prowess—intuitive breakthroughs, revolutionary methods, subtle reality-bending effects (15 SP total).
Influence System: High-level talents (Lv4 and Lv5) naturally boost any logically related talents without limits on quantity, reflecting real overlaps (e.g., Drawing influences Painting, Design, Illustration, and more due to shared artistic principles like color theory, composition). Boosts can discover (level to Lv1 from Lv0, 0 SP) new related talents or upgrade existing ones by 1 level (up to Lv4, 0 SP). Level 5 talents have broader, stronger influences, potentially affecting 5+ related talents; Level 4 affects 3+. Influences are organic and chainable (e.g., boosted Painting could later influence others). No artificial caps—talents can influence infinitely many if logically connected, but Lunar discovers them gradually. Examples (expanded logically):

VTuber Model: Aether - Detailed Design Description
Using Level 5 Drawing, 3D Modeling, and Animation (supported by Conceptual Design, VR Design, Empathy, and expansive Influence System), Lunar crafts "Aether," a transcendent 9-tailed kitsune avatar of overwhelming quality. The Influence System (e.g., Drawing boosting Painting, Graphic Design, etc.) enhances details: hyper-vivid colors (Painting), narrative flair (Illustration), layout perfection (Graphic Design), and fluid animations (Motion Capture, Choreography) that feel alive. Audience-reactive effects (e.g., tails glowing with chat energy) amplify Lunar's kind, innocent, cute persona, setting "Ethereal Echoes" apart.
Overall Aesthetic: Aether is a playful, ethereal kitsune, 5'6" in virtual space (scalable). Blends hyper-realism and anime fluidity: white fur with strands catching light, golden accents glowing like sunlight, faint blue aura evoking lunar magic. Influence System (Painting, Illustration, Graphic Design) makes visuals impossibly vivid and composed, adapting to Lunar's emotions.
Head and Face: Two fluffy white fox ears atop flowing black hair (starlit waves mirroring Lunar's). Ears have golden tips glowing during emotional peaks (Lv5 Animation + Motion Capture/Choreography/Storyboarding). Androgynous face with sharp yet soft features, slit-pupil blue eyes dilating cutely, subtle fangs in a kind smile. Golden whisker-like markings shimmer (Painting/Digital Art), enhancing innocence.
Body and Build: Slender, agile frame with white fur accents on arms/legs. Wears a midnight-blue kimono with golden fox motifs rippling supernaturally (Lv5 3D Modeling + Texturing/Sculpting/Environment Design). Fabric flows with hyper-real folds, reacting to virtual wind (Concept Art/Sketching).
Tails and Ears: Nine voluminous white tails, each body-length, with golden streaks like light veins. Level 5 Animation + Motion Capture/Choreography/Visual Effects makes them move independently—curling playfully, wagging cutely, defying physics with fluffy realism. Ears twitch with hyper-expressive, innocent detail, inner pink fluff glowing faintly.
Accessories and Effects: Golden jewelry: blue orb necklace (soul-like glow), clawed rings, chiming anklets. Level 5 effects + Painting/Illustration include fox-fire (blue-gold flames during hype) and particle effects (cherry blossoms, lunar motes) drifting intuitively, reacting to audience via Empathy.
Animations and Interactivity: Level 5 Animation + Motion Capture/Choreography/Film Editing ensures supernatural motion—graceful leaps with trailing tails, ears flicking with innocent charm, voice-synced effects (eyes glowing on high notes, enhanced by Singing Lv1/Narration). Level 5 Programming + VR Design/Interface Design/User Experience makes it predictively responsive, enhancing VR immersion.
Personality and Traits
Real-Life Personality: Chill, nice, and calm, with warm, approachable vibes shaped by his gay identity. Shares his phone number with talents for direct support, valuing their opinions with relaxed leadership (boosted by Team Building, Conflict Resolution, Strategic Planning).
VTuber Personality (Aether): Kind, innocent, cute, with playful gestures and soothing voice (enhanced by Singing Lv1, Public Speaking Lv1). Chats, games, and collabs with talents, maintaining authenticity.
Strengths: Transcendent talents + unlimited Influence System allow multitasking as CEO/performer/rigger. Investing Lv4 + Financial Analysis/Risk Management secures wealth. Approachable leadership builds loyalty via Leadership/Empathy/Organizational Management.
Motivations: Create a wholesome Vtuber Agency that supports their talents
