Description
“ | A dangerous, intelligent species that can disappear in the blink of an eye. Some say that this beast came from a planet far from Sonaria, traversing through the stars. A solitary creature, Luxsces is usually found wandering alone, typically keeping to itself unless threatened or hungry. | „ |
~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- It is said that Luxsces is an extremely intelligent species, sometimes seen trying to converse with other species of similar intelligence levels.
- The smoke coming from their vent gets thicker as they age, a result of them gaining more knowledge.
- Luxsces are biologically immortal. They do not die of old age, but can die due to fatal injury.
- NOTE: this is not planned to be applied to in-game mechanics: Luxsces are exclusively male only, and do not reproduce.
Artist Headcanon
- Luxsces are exclusively male only, and do not reproduce. The origin of birth for the current and only population is unknown.
- Because they cannot reproduce, there is only one generation of extant Luxsces.
- Luxsces are star-born and have origins outside of Sonaria. They can hitch rides on comets and asteroids, and can survive the vacuum of space.
Appearance
The Luxsces is a bipedal creature with long claws and sturdy thighs. It has a long, thick tail that has a pattern which resembles that of the night sky. Its tail is medium-sized, with the night sky pattern and light blue stripes on it- and has a golden triangular structure at the end of it. The Luxsces's wings reaches over its shoulders and has gold spikes on some ends of its body. The Luxsces has a black mane that reaches from the rear of its neck to the front of its face, a blue-striped chest and neck, and a golden armor plate on top of its back. It has a V-shaped helmet in a color similar to the night sky, with thin gold lines, and blue frills that extend from its chin. Moreover, the Luxsces has purple/blue "smoke" rising from its mouth and a little golden "beard" on the tip of its chin.

Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Luxsces. (editor list)
- Bleed Block/Block Bleed is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting bleed status from melee attacks at the very least, and every other source at most. Recode's equivalent of bleed defense; it is percentage based, e.g. if an attacker deals 5 bleed per hit and the receiver has 60% bleed defense, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 bleed.
- If a creature's Block Bleed is 100%, then they are immune to Bleed inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% Block Bleed will have some fraction of bleed defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.
- A negative value in-game may indicate an extra vulnerability to the status effect this ability is supposed to protect from.
- Charge (Power) or Power Charge is a specific type of Charge that temporarily increases the user's damage slightly and inflicts Shredded Wings on the victim.
- Injury Attack is an ability that offensively deals injury status when biting. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Invisibility is an active ability which by pressing the proper ability button, the creature can turn from visibility to invisibility (however on your side you emit a small inner glow that helps you into spotting yourself; and you can be spotted by the footprint trail you leave, aberrations in water reflections, disruption effects on the grass, sounds, and Keen Observer, and sometimes scent) and vice-versa. On mobile, players can press “Use Ability". Unlike Legacy version, Invisibility is far stronger, allowing the user to walk and swim cloaked as long as they don't bite, use any active ability, sprint, ambush, or move during jump, dart, fly or glide, when they will become visible; and while active it hides the creature from being spotted by scent and cannot be activated if the creature is laying down (which doesn't mean the creature cannot just activate the ability beforehand and then remain invisible). On the other hand, recode invisibility slows the user slightly, and has a 30 seconds cooldown between activation triggers, meaning that while an invisible creature can switch to visibility immediately by pressing the button or meeting the criteria mentioned beforehand, such creature cannot activate invisibility too fast, needing to wait. This cooldown counts time between moments of activation, not between deactivation and the next activation, so if a creature had been cloaked for long enough and suddenly they lose the cloak, they can reapply it immediately.
- Spite is an active ability that increases a creature's next attack damage based on its power meter, which gradually fills and then drains to 0 if no creature is attacked by the user during this time. It also has a customizable percentage (%) of the creature's damage (the % listed is the max of said creature's Spite power). Alongside raw damage, the user inflicts double ailments on their targets. The ability has a 20-second cooldown that starts upon activation.
