Dcuo Automaton Influence Aura

Sinner of the Spades

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Auras Of Eternity

The world of Earth is a desolate, future version of the planet, ravaged by centuries of conflict, environmental collapse, and unchecked technological advancement. After the Great Fragmentation, humanity discovered the hidden power of Essentia, a primordial energy that resonates with the Auras radiated by all living beings. Essentia, once buried deep beneath the Earth's surface, now flows freely through the air and the land, influencing every creature’s existence. The Auras of individuals reflect their connection to Essentia—stronger Auras grant greater control over the energy, while weaker Auras leave their bearers vulnerable. Humanity, once on the brink of extinction due to nuclear wars, pandemics, and environmental destruction, began to harness this power, using it to rebuild civilizations. Yet, the Earth had changed. As cities rose and societies evolved, so too did the creatures of the world. Mutated beasts, once ordinary animals, gained terrifying powers by fusing their Auras with Essentia, creating terrifying creatures that roam the wastelands, seeking to destroy or dominate humanity. A thousand years after the Great Fragmentation, humanity stands at a fragile precipice. While some have rebuilt advanced societies within mega-cities protected by powerful Aura shields, others live in the wilds, fighting for survival against creatures whose Auras dwarf those of the human race. Deep beneath the ruins of Earth lies the Essentia Core, the source of all Essentia. It is said that whoever reaches the Core will have the power to reshape Earth’s future—restoring the planet or annihilating all life within it. Many have sought the Core, including rogue factions, corrupted warlords, and savage beasts, but none have returned. Main Protagonist: A 16-year-old boy named Orion Ardyn lives in a small outpost on the outskirts of the last remaining human metropolis, Neos City. Orion was born with a rare, dormant Aura, deemed weak by society's standards. As a result, he is disregarded and scorned by others, nicknamed "The Whisper". However, during a raid by mutated beasts, Orion’s dormant Aura awakens unexpectedly when he comes into contact with a strange artifact—the Essentia Shard—a relic of the ancient world. His Aura possesses a unique power: the ability to absorb and evolve by resonating with the Auras of others, a gift that may hold the key to the future of humanity.
