  🜲   ' i have no memories of my childhood, ' summarizes venus, recalling her past as a foggy, enigmatic dream that, for some reason, she cannot recall. born lucia julia caesaris prima, the only lasting memory she has is of the workshop of her prized teacher, a strange arch-mage that goes by the lone name of mercurius who laid the foundations of her magical expertise and served as her teacher throughout her teenager years. she owes a great deal of her experience, wisdom and etiquette to his teachings, for those were the times when women had less value and autonomy than men, simply being treated as a woman to later be wed into another family for prestige. mercurius was the only man to have views that could be considered unorthodox to the era she was born in, always stating how the value of an individual doesn't lie in their gender, but the mind itself. he had also made an effort to ensure that it was the centermost element in all of his teachings with her, essentially cultivating lucia as a powerful leader that would set out on a thorny path to changing the future of the empire whose politics are built upon shaky foundations.  🜲   at an age as young as 18, lucia started contemplating how to brave the monumental challenge to topple the accepted norms of the time and rise to significant power in the imperial office under the rule of julius caesar. that a woman would occupy a seat in the SPQR was a detail frowned upon by her peers, but they would eventually find themselves unable to object as her influence and the support she has accumulated simply by virtue of being a woman in a place of power had given her from her fellow women. a considerable part of the populace was suddenly vitalized as a force that the partriarchs couldn't ignore, which also played an important part in the de-escalation of the conflict between classes that would later arise between the patricians and the plebeians. this incident would form the deviation process of venus' worldline, whereupon she had played a center role in settling the score between the aristocrats like her and the plebeians and simultaneously managed to introduce wider and more modern forms of democracy to the state in its transition into an empire and rendered the holy roman empire a state that could emulate a system where the noble and imperial families and the emperor retained their power but be bound by the law and forcibly squashed the prejudice prevalent among the nobles against the common people by utilizing the law as her power to harshly prosecute them.  🜲   in that regard, lucia has proven herself as a tyrannical force second only to julius caesar in the eyes of the people affected, while being lauded as a figure ahead of her time by those whose rights she had protected, consecrated by all as an apostle, an oracle blessed by olympus that held ancient rome's prosperity in high favor —— or thusly decreed the emperor and so did the rest follow. her authoritarian methods, however, fell in line with the emperor's will and thusly didn't receive any critique from him. in fact, she carried out her self-appointed mission so meticulously, the fruits of her efforts simply couldn't be ignored; she was consequently rewarded for her service, consecrating her station among the consuls. meanwhile, lucia also hasn't forgone her practice of magic, sciences, engineering and alchemy. she had built an underground workshop somewhere beneath the impregnable castle of constantinopolis and carried her studies in there.  🜲   she was the cause for many breakthroughs that both elevated the empire and made her peers question the source of such wisdom and power. the reimagination of the mythical panakeia, the philosopher's stone and immortality had become subjects that she had brought clarity on, the latter of which she had applied on herself. the maddening rate at which she had shed light unto them, however, had struck some with fear and conspire against her and her family for harboring and giving birth to the devil disguised as an unprecedented divine figure, desecrating their faith with falsehoods. again, she couldn't escape the cruel tests of time that were put up against successful people. assassination attempts, propaganda, slander, scandals... they had become the norms etched deeply into her life, and she had more in her hands to handle. a time period in which she had to take even crueler decisions had come about, which would eventually become the stepping stones built for her inevitable run through a scandalous exile. on that day, the star of miracles had been blotted out of the sky, unjustly shamed and besmirched; dimmed, snuffed out, and ... forgotten.  🜲   the life of a fugitive would be the only fate awaiting her after her exile, leading a furtive lifestyle whereby she had to conceal her every traceable motive and, ultimately, leave her chamber of secrets to the tests of changing times much like her destiny. eventually, she had to resort to stricter methods of presence concealment - slipping away into a sub-space where she would handle her real world operations by virtue of dispatching homunculi that carry aspects of her personality, consciousness and part of her soul. as such, polydiora came to be; a symbol born out of her youthful enthusiasm...  🜲   april 23rd, 2022 - #alagracia venus starts her new ventures as polydiora, monitoring her progress from her enclosed realm. she would have already set the foundations for developing her nation founded on technology, using a fleet of auto-piloted construction vehicles to complete the construction of the first facility, as she engages in efforts to invent, and innovate new forms and methods of procuring energy.  🜲   june 25th, 2022 - freelance polydiora has parted ways with #alagracia and travelled between worlds to land in #ahjin-verse; an uneventful turn of events as she had to carry her facility elsewhere. here, with the world's significantly developed technology and a proper environment to cultivate her nation, she was able to escalate her discoveries and inventions expeditiously, untouched and uninterrupted by anyone ... until she simply wasn't. polydiora's self-awareness also improves, realizing that she is not necessarily an individual, but an extension of another. however, the revelation doesn't bother her so much but raises many questions.  🜲   july 7th, 2022 - #ahjin-verse polydiora had since constructed herself a fortress on a remote part of the pangaean continent of this newfound universe's world, where she expanded on her studies and constructed multiple interconnected facilities and power plants for her ends. she then started working on a perpetual motion machine and the quark fusion technology, revolutionizing the field of cold fusion in her isolated little world.  🜲   july 22nd, 2022 - #ahjin-verse
polydiora comes face to face with the truth about her origin which she had been missing ever since the time of her dubious conception, she considers it unsettling to know that she was merely a tool for another individual's whims. she figures out through the dreamscape revelations that she is in fact a creation of the exiled lady known as eurydice iris trismegistus, whose name sows the seeds of hostility even to her own creation due to her status as an enemy of god - so posited she. ever since then, she merged with herself and incurred her rebirth.  🜲   with the artificial soul harbored within polydiora rejoining eurydice's, it was made apparent to her that polydiora's body would require extensive maintenance as the body has been torn apart to disrepair by the destruction of her new-found fusion reactor's malfunctioning. however, her destiny has changed for the better after meeting king minos and his clemency allowing a second chance to the genius to demonstrate her intellect under his banner. polydiora was officialy laid to rest—as her experiences conjoin with her creator's. she has been given a closure about her origins, about how she is the prototype of a very extensive research eurydice was working for centuries—the duplication of self on a physical, spiritual and astral level, and the creation of new life from scratch with prior information.  🜲   august 29th, 2022 - #ahjin-verse
Nova Alexandria has been founded. Eurydice Trismegistus declared that this nation would be the nucleus of all magic, science and alchemy related matters, where anyone willing to partake in pioneering mankind to greater heights can contribute without any obstruction in their way to stop them. the nation provides those willing with resources... though, so far, the citizens have all been cybernetic humans she has personally manufactured and gave artificial souls to. this originally stemmed from venus' inability to overcome her trauma resulting from her past experiences with mankind. she considers her kind volatile, unreliable and morally corrupt, whereas the lives she had created artificially as pure.  🜲   may 12th, 2023 - #Ahjin-verse
nova alexandria is dismantled as a nation. the domain of authorities is revealed to be an engine that was merely under construction, and the hivemind of androids loitering about were merely parts of a hivemind. Nova Alexandria, in its entirety, served its purpose as an extension of the prodigy known as venus, and evolved into a terran mothership that will traverse the sea of stars.  🜲   june 9th, 2023 - #ahjin-verse
nova alexandria becomes the flag-bearer of the grand interstellar fleet starlite galactica. reaching a total of 155 warships, nova alexandria rightfully earns its ranking as a mothership. the production pace is of the miraculous degree, as such an amount had been amassed in a matter of days.  🜲   july 6th, 2025 - #oversoul
after a couple years of interlinking her superfleet with oversoul, venus has gone through many changes and improvements in regards to the development of her greatest work. the starlite galactica superfleet can now travel across the universe freely, setting course into uncharted sectors of it with its renewed teleportation modules, as well as amass such size that it has become a mobile, habitable planet of its own. there had been moments where she had lost the entirety of her fleet to a higher dimensional god, but she didn't allow it to deter herself, rebuilding and embarking on another journey into #passionparadise. there, she has taken on a deva—a godlike figure—and endured her assault until it had almost broken her. simultaneously, it was the only moment where she had realized the importance of comrades, and ... time.  🜲   aug 15th, 2025 - end of #oversoul
the passage of time is a cruel, unstoppable thing. there are such matters you will never be able to take back; and those she loved always had a habit of disappearing on her out of all the sudden. however, the only person she could confidently say that she loved more than anyone, adell, had sacrificed himself for the good of his family. she tried to find another solution to his predicament, that sense of guilt he had borne until then, but it was already too late. the method by which he dispelled the curse upon his family was an irreversible one.

NA-001 PIONEER - "Nova Alexandria"'s real value doesn't lie in its model as a spacecraft, but the fact that its laudable size and internal sectors emulate a habitable planet in the artificial sense. While the interior of the ship doesn't have a natural ecosystem, it has sectors reserved for habitation, military, manufacturing and other research, each one supplied by its own biomes. Owing the totality of its functionality, maneuverability and extramundane quality to its architect, this extraordinary construct defies the laws of physics in a similar manner suggested in the ancient blueprints of a Vimanã, providing the ship with the ability to suddenly maneuver with sharp turns without any loss in momentum or speed. Additionally, there are a myriad weapons installed around the spacecraft's hull to thwart enemies from almost every direction; these range from homing missiles, to weapons that can be categorized as mass destruction units even in the vast expanse of the sea of stars, among which nuclear warheads are no exception. Moreover, the mega-structure is also layered with a dimensional shield called the "EM-21A Extramundane Dispersal Unit", which forms the first line of defense against virtually all forms of outside interference with an array of higher dimensional defense forcefields, protecting the spacecraft from angles and directions that do not even exist in a three-dimensional structure.Nova Alexandria operates on a series of quark fusion reactors powering the entire ship as well as Dyson segments to harvest solar energy from the nearby stars. The ship also features a nearly indestructible hull made of Hyper-Dense Quantum Lattice Unit called CRIOS, a composite material combining the incredible strength of hyper-dense elemental bonding with the self-healing properties of a quantum lattice structure. The outermost layer, crafted from this advanced material, offers formidable resistance to both physical and energy attacks, dynamically adapting to threats by altering its physical properties. Intermediate layers provide additional energy dispersion, stealth capabilities, and gravitational resistance. The innermost layer is reinforced with an alloy composed of exotic matter, a highly dense and strong material ensuring structural core integrity under extreme conditions. Embedded nanite repair systems work in tandem with the quantum lattice’s self-healing mechanisms, ensuring rapid damage repair and maintaining the hull’s integrity. Coupled with the shielding unit, the ship's hull is rendered virtually (and conventionally) impenetrable as a result.As for the mothership's combat prowess, Nova Alexandria, in spite of its sheer size, boasts formidable attack power. To name all of the aforementioned superweapons installed in this spacecraft, the list would be as follows:A-819 "TRITON": Borrowing its name from the sea god Triton, the ship unveils a conductor of some sort that unleashes a widespread wave of oscillations to disintegrate anything in its area of effect on a sub-atomic level. Venus was inspired by the sea god because of the waves it sends rippling across space.Nuclear warheads: Nova Alexandria is equipped with launcher nodes that form a link between mass-production units emulating Venus' unique magic. The explosive yield of this illimitable arsenal ranges from 500 megatons of TNT to 1000, producing such destruction that can engulf entire fleets and shatter planets.AMP-9001 "NEXUS": Primarily offensive weapon units, these weapons are enhanced with a magical formula that renders the arrays fired susceptible to multiplying the more there is an attempt to neutralize or intercept them. There are at least 10 of these around the ship utilized purely on offence, and another 10 utilized purely for defense.
