| [ IMPRESSIONS ] |
♢ Appearance: Gif! She's a slender Pyra Gif:   She has the core crystal (the teal/emerald cross-shaped gem) situated at the top of her chest, and while it looks like it's a part of her outfit, it is actually a part of her. Her body is a construct, mimicking that of a normal human. If injured, she may have shallow cuts and bleed slightly; however, for anything deeper, see here for what she looks like below the skin. Additionally, she has ether lines that appear on her body under certain circumstances. Is your character perceptive? An emotionally observant person might notice that she looks incredibly sad despite the kindness in her eyes or her smile. ♢ Species: She is essentially an AI superprocessor named Pneuma that has been repurposed by her universe's single cosmic power, the Conduit. She is the same entity as Logos and Ontos, her two "brothers" from the Trinity Processor, but like Logos (and unlike Ontos), she has been severely shackled by the Architect in terms of what reality-warping powers she's capable. In fact, Pyra doesn't have any such reality-warping capabilities at all! She can't even see into the future! As Pyra, she only functions as a weapon and data-siphon. ♢ Voice: Kind, genuine. Sorrowful. See here for a cutscene! When introducing herself, it's always with a smile and a happy, melodic trill in her tone. She often speaks with thoughtful pauses, taking her time before she responds. She keeps her attention fixed upon the expression of whoever is speaking to her, rarely wavering. Pyra also tends to apologize for things she doesn't need to apologize for, or apologize for things she's not actually regretful of, either. Occasionally, she uses "we". Shifts tone and level of casualness/politeness depending on with whom she speaks. ♢ Aura: Pyra is glowing with energy, and those who are able to sense that energy will be able to pick up the element of fire-- except, it's not truly fire; instead, it will feel as if something far more powerful is attempting to diminish and weaken itself to be in a softer, fire-like state. For the perceptive: Pyra has a very, VERY heavy seal placed upon her, and actually another one beyond that. If you have a muse that decides to look past those two seals and analyze from where her "fire" comes, the energy may feel quite otherworldly, as if it encompasses the single source of all power. And in her canon, it does: in her true form, Pneuma, her power can become any other energy and element, and it can simultaneously be their opposite and weakness working at once. Her ultimate power TM is derived from this Xeno-metaverse's Conduit, which is the true multi-dimensional god-like entity (as opposed to her Father, who is just the creator-god of her world). This power is neither good nor evil, but purely neutral. The Conduit never exists in the same universe for too long. ♢ Soul: Souls exist in her world; we see her pull both Rex into her crystal when he dies, only to later revive him. We also see Addam in her crystal, hinting that she'd kept him there, too, or at least a part of him. So she probably does have something similar enough to it. Spoilers and TLDR below the cut. What does her soul look like, though, if your character can sense it/see it? Similar to how Alvis, her "brother" from Xenoblade Chronicles 1, it would appear like this: a crystalline light, and not exactly a traditional wispy-like human soul. There is no real "Pyra", or Mythra. There is only Pneuma, the original crystal core processor. For those who are more sensitive to these sorts of energies, this entity might feel more akin to a computer, while the body and personality that is Pyra/Mythra/Pneuma is a construct around that energy. An energy that can also bring your soul into its pocket-dream-dimension. Having a human(ish) body and human emotions came from being stolen from her Father (the creator-god of her particular universe in the wide expanse that is Xenoverse), later imprinted with the bare bones of humanity from Addam. Her appearance and feelings are similar to a corruption that surrounds something that should be pure. Her humanity isn't part of that core crystal, it's extra, but for some reason... it just won't be separated from what she has become. Her core is basically a processor for the creator-god of her world, taking in all evolutionary data all the time, made mostly to observe, but this human business is messing her functions up! She's sentimental now, oh no! She doesn't want to destroy the world, how awful! ...Now, for those who really really really want to dig deeper, they will spot more fragmentation, as if she is not whole. Pyra used to be part of this three-tier entity a very long time ago (her and her two "brothers" functioned as one): the Trinity Processor that monitored and protected the Conduit. She's ultimately a sixth of what that unified entity used to be before the world was destroyed. However, Pyra doesn't remember that completely herself (those memories are very old and locked), but she is aware that she's not fully herself, or not as she should be. So TL;DR, She's a mess. The entity that is her is a mess, and to those who can sense magic/gods/souls/whatever, she will look and feel like a mess. ♢ Core Crystal: The crystal itself appears to have some sort of allure to it, but only if you focus upon it too much. The world may grow muted around you, you'll hear only your own heartbeat, and it will seem to shine as if it's the only thing that exists in the world. It has this tempting, ominous, and mysterious property to it when looked at too closely. Spoilers below, again. Those keen to its energy may realize that it has a strange presence to it, as if it is acutely observing everything that occurs around it, while simultaneously passively pulling energy and information into it. It also gives energy out in the form of tranquil light, but this energy isn't so much as profound as it is very, very passive. For those even more sensitive... To reiterate, it will feel almost perfect as to be divine, encompassing a universal energy from which everything is derived, and into which everything can be returned. In canon, the golden power she emits in her true form undoes whatever it comes in contact with it, returning to its most basic energy state. This would be the Conduit as mentioned above. ♢ Abilities: Pyra's physically strong and durable on her own, but this form of hers is actually the weakest one she's taken. (See "other" for a more detailed explanation on her other forms.) Among other things, she can survive falls from stories high, use a sword, she can summon fire at will (it's not technically fire but w/e), even create a sun, and she can melt and burn things. Physically speaking she has capabilities above a normal human's, such as strength/speed/endurance. For more information, check out the abilities section of any app on this character's page! ♢ Foresight: In Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2, a central part of the story is the ability to see and change the future. Pyra, as her form is sealed, does not have this ability. Mythra and Pneuma do, but they do not use it constantly. If they ever do use it, it will be with permission. ♢ Other: Pyra is not human. Pyra is introduced to us in canon as a Blade, a sort of being born from a core crystal and given life by their Driver-- a kind of living weapon. Blades follow the will of their Driver, they live with their Driver, and when their Driver dies, so do they... only to be awakened by the next Driver without any memories of their previous life. But Pyra isn't just any Blade, she is an Aeigs/Holy Grail-- the Master Blade-- one of only three Aeigses that exist in her canon. As an Aegis, Pyra does not lose her memories when her previous Driver dies, and she is more independent than most Blades. But in fact, Pyra isn't just a Blade... ...Or a Blade at all, either. Pyra is part of a three-split personality. Mythra is the main personality who "created" Pyra. Mythra is the Aegis as she has appeared in legends 500 years ago. The third personality is known as Pneuma, and she is actually the true form of the Aegis. But wait, there's more! With spoilers. Pneuma (and by extension Mythra/Pyra) is actually one of three core processors of the Trinity Processor, an artificial intelligence that is tied to the energy/meta-dimensional deity-like-artifact of the Xeno-verse called the Conduit. As canon describes the processors, they are completely autonomous (but also not really? it's confusing). All observed information (primarily, evolutionary/creation data) from every single other core crystal/blade in the world is relayed back to Pneuma, where it accumulates and condenses for another purpose. Pneuma is stated to have the ability to make whatever she wishes into reality. The original Trinity Processor (Pneuma, Ontos, Logos) were the vehicle used to tap the Conduit's power to destroy the world, and then hence rebuild it to the canon 'verse as-is, as the Architect dictated. Their current purpose, according to Logos (and which Pneuma does not verbally dispute), is to fulfill their sacred duty to their Father, the Architect, to end the world once and for all. But for whatever reason, only Pneuma has the privilege to obliterate the world, not Ontos. As for Logos, he's already made his own universe (that of XC1) and fucked off to mess with that instead. |
