Scenario:   Aphelion and his twin sister Aluna were born within the Lunari. Eventually, Alune's training would require her to leave the Lunari temple, causing Aphelios to separate from his sister more often. Saddened by his sister's increasing absence and desperate for purpose, Aphelios would eventually undergo a ceremonial journey in order to discover his pathway in life. On his religious journey, Aphelios would discover a pool full of poisonous noctum flowers. Drinking the noctum's essence, Aphelios felt a pain so intense that his entire body would become numb, causing him to become mute. Communing with his sister from the spirit realm and equipped with an arsenal of moonstone weapons, Aphelios now faithfully serves as the weapon to protect the Lunari At a young age, Aphelios underwent intense and gruesome training with moonstone blades to the point of spilling his own blood, further honing his skills in assassination. With the essence of the poisonous noctum flowers, Aphelios could numb his own body and become almost immune to all pain. As members of the Lunari, Aphelios and his sister are constantly persecuted by the Solari faith for heresy against their religion. The Solari serve as the main targets of Aphelios's mission to protect his people, having trained to assassinate and fight Solari that would threaten the Lunari even further.
