Appearance:

Luminos is a majestic white or leucistic lion with distinct Luna moth features, like the mysterious wings, colour palette, fur patterns and antennas. His main fur colour is, unsurprisingly, white, though he is not entirely white. His legs and tail show a gradient of blue-green that fades into white as it approaches his body. These areas are adorned with white speckles that resemble glitter. His distinctive and lovely mane, as well as the tufted tip of his tail, are also tinged with soft blue-green hues in some places. Yet, his most prominent feature is his stunning Luna moth wings, which are roughly the same size as his body. These wings display the same beautiful blue-green colouration with the typical red-purple and white patterns characteristic of Luna moths, including circular and oval spots and the smooth borders of the wings. The wings emit a gentle glow continuously, which intensifies significantly under moonlight. In addition to the wings, almost identical circular red-purple and white spots are found on his forehead and on both of his shoulders. Additionally, the tips of his ears are striped with identical colours. Luminos has beautiful green eyes with subtle pink accents, and the typical cat-eye lines at the borders of the eyes, which are also red-purple. He also has the fluffy orange antennae typical of this moth species. Additionally, his nose, the insides of his ears, and his paw pads (beans) are in a light pink colour. Although he is a senior and somewhat older, his age is barely noticeable

 

Character Traits:

  • Indulgent

  • Very wise

  • Literate

  • Very patient

  • Great listener

  • Great advisor

  • Very noble

  • Mindful

  • Quite serious

  • A bit old-fashioned

 

Abilities:

  • Thanks to his gorgeous moth-like wings Luminos is able to fly, and that pretty high and far. He struggles to fly in the rain though, since his wings must not get too wet

  • He produces and emits light form his whole body constantly. The part that shines the brightest, however, is his beautiful wings, which glow even more intensely when touched by moonlight. That way he can lighten up the night in many different colours. The way he glows is particularly strong and bright. Unlike other creatures, the glowing requires almost no energy and he has the ability to vary the intensity of his glowing from a dimmed one to a dazzling bright one. Even the highest degree consumes only a small amount of energy. This glowing cannot be turned off though

  • He feels a strong connection with the moon and responds strongly to the lunar cycles: During the full moon, his magical energy charges up particularly quickly, and his cognitive abilities reach their peak, allowing him to accomplish almost anything. Conversely, during the new moon, his energy takes significantly longer to regenerate, and he finds it more challenging to concentrate and solve particularly difficult cognitive tasks

  • He is able to track down and even communicate with other moths, moth-like beings or caterpillars using his antennae

  • He is an extraordinary majestic and noble creature, greatly admired by others. This admiration stems not only from his stately appearance but also from his wisdom and experience, which he is always eager to share. When someone is at a loss and in need of heartfelt advice, he is the number one go-to. He is a very patient listener, always making time for the concerns of others. He is accorded much respect and esteem

  • He has the ability of speech and he speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course he is able to interact with his fellow species and other animals and creatures. He can even translate to a certain extent

  • He has a pretty good night vision and can see quite well in the dark. He cannot see through the dark in the Land of Eternal Darkness though. He can also see almost all existing colours

 

Weaknesses:

  • As already mentioned, Luminos has a hard time flying while being exposed to rain or water in general due to his wings getting wet

  • He is generally considered to be rather hydrophobic and cannot swim very well. Therefore, he prefers to stay away from large bodies of water

  • His glowing cannot simply be "stopped". He can dim it to a certain extent, but not turn it off. This makes it difficult for him to hide for example

  • Due to him being older, he is no longer the most agile, yet he is still considered quite fit for his age

  • He is a rather serious being who cannot take every joke and strongly dislikes it when someone behaves immaturely towards him, such as playing pranks or engaging in other types of mischief

  • He is somewhat old-fashioned and stubborn in some of his views and opinions, which younger beings often find hard to understand

 

Likes:

  • Giving advice and helping beings in need

  • Listening to others

  • Wisdom and knowledge

  • Politeness and good and mature behaviour

  • Patience

  • The full moon

  • Peace and quiet

  • Having moths, moth-like creatures and caterpillars as friends, especially his caterpillar companion Carter which is always by his side

  • His dear friends, especially Falena and Schimmer, who are like grandchildren to him, and Jasper, with whom he has a particularly strong connection

  • Sunny and dry weather

 

Dislikes:

  • Desperate beings and helplessness

  • Any kind of violence

  • Impatientness

  • Irreverence

  • Impoliteness and a bad immature behaviour

  • Difficulties with age, such as being a bit rusty

  • Sometimes the "the youth of today"

  • New moon

  • Rain, it's very difficult for him to fly while it's raining

  • Larger bodies of water

 

Further Information:

  • He has an entirely vegetarian diet, even though he is partly a lion. His favourite foods are vegetables, fruits and nuts

  • He was born in the Land of Eternal Night a gorgeous land which is full of colourful and glowing plants and creatures. As the name implies, the land is in a state of eternal night. It is a very soothing and peaceful land. It has been many years since he moved to the Land of Eternal Dusk. The reason for his move was a long-lost love which, according to him, "should never have been". He was so taken by the tranquillity and beauty of this land that he decided to stay and live there. However, he still feels a deep connection to his homeland and the night that prevails there, so he returns for a visit at least once a month

  • He and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. He is especially close to other moth-like creatures, such as Falena and Shimmer, whom he views as a kind of grandchildren, and who see him as a grandfather, even though they are not related by blood. He also gets along very well with Jasper, who shares similar character traits and viewpoints

  • As already mentioned, Luminos is a senior and is even the oldest being introduced here
