Alright /lum/, new compilation thread. Been long enough that we have some info to actually drop. Took way longer than usual since her threads are mostly filled with lolicons and gooners instead of actual reports, but that comes with the territory for new Luminaries I guess... Anyways, found these files on the Undernet after the Pentos server raid last week, and cross referenced it with public sightings on the board. MOST of the info should be accurate, but if you know something post proof and we'll fix it up next thread.

The file is a mess, mostly scattered field reports and the analytics that would bore even the most autistic powerscaler. I've cleaned it up for readability, but you can check the corpo general for the original docs.

Here you go.

IDENTIFIERS / APPEARANCE

Female. Looks young, maybe 14 or 15. Freshman age. Green hair, green eyes. About 5'0". Main outfit is a white/red/black dress, pretty standard frilly magical girl stuff. Has her Soul Gem on a ribbon on her chest, which is pretty bold desu. Been spotted in a simple white sundress too, probably her civvies.

The real tell is her Implement. It’s a wand made of meat and bone. Looks like something out of a Cronenberg movie. It's gnarly as fuck. If you see it, you've found her. Be careful though, her bio-shifting means she can probably look like anyone. That wand is the only constant.

ABILITIES / SCHOOLS

This is where it gets messy. She's got some Dark, like the others, but only one known school. Considering how she uses it though, she may as well have all Dark school, she's way too gruesome fo rmost Luminaries.

Bio-Shifting (DARK - Specialized): Her main gimmick. She just fucking grows monsters. We've seen everything from small, single-eyed scouts she calls 'Gazers' to city-block-sized kaiju she hides inside of. Intel has names for the big ones: 'Hydra', 'Hecatoncheires', depends on what she rolls with. Apparently there was a log on all her monsters in the breach, but the data got fucked unfortunately. She can also turn her own body into a weapon, that's what the second picture is. That battle form is yucky.

Flora (LIGHT - Specialized): Her "good girl" magic. She uses it mostly for support and area control. Creates jungles out of nowhere, makes thorn walls, vine traps, etc. I've seen footage of her impaling a whole squad of Pentos mercs on wooden spears that shot out of the damn concrete. Some of her plants have weird properties too - healing fruits, seeds that explode like frag grenades. Pentos is apparently trying to weaponize some samples they captured. Good luck with that, they've been trying to make what Tech School Luminaries shit out for years and got dick.

Spirit (LIGHT - Master): Standard high-level healing and shields. Her regen is nuts, probably a combo of this and her Bio-Shifting. You can basically blow her to pieces and she'll pull herself back together as long as the Gem is intact. Her forcefields are massive and pretty durable - she mostly uses it and her healing to support her army while hiding inside her big fucking kaiju.

Sonic (LIGHT - Adept): Secondary skill. Mostly uses it for concussive blasts that can flip APCs. The scary theory from the leaked data is that she uses it for echolocation, giving her a perfect 360-degree map of the battlefield at all times. Considering how she got btfo in that last video anon posted that might be bull desu.

QUIRKS

Large Reserves: Has a massive mana pool. Real big. That's it. Kinda boring, but powerscalers here love to wank it so whatever.

Hungry Magic: Can suck up ambient magic to top off her tank. This is the big one, guys. If she gets near a leyline, it's game over. She could probably hold her Ult indefinitely, or at least turn into an endless monster factory.

Shrouded Magic: Her spellcasting is almost impossible to trace back to her. It leaves no magical signature. This is why they have to rely on visual ID of her weird-ass wand. Kind of disapointing that the schizoposter from last thread now has ammo for his plague theory.

ULTIMATE ART: "SIX SEEDS'

It's a Domain type, technically. A slaughterhouse made of meat and bone. Navigating is a nightmare since its constantly flexing and moving, and there are countless pods that slough off the ceiling and walls and birth monsters - most in the vague image of livestock, but horrifically mutated. A path of grass, flowers, and various plant life lead somewhere - not sure if its the exit, Viscera herself, or something else. Whatever the case, its the only place the monsters won't touch, so as long as you stay on it (and keep moving forward with it), you should be safe.

Not too bad, all things considered. Civilians have even survived it. Just make sure not to hurt the animals. Even if they start biting you. If you do, the path becomes more meat - grass turning to cilia, flowers blooming into eyestalks, the works.

The entire Domain, barring the floral path, is an extension of Viscera's flesh which she may manipulate with ease - functioning more like a Second Form. Her Flora school is completely lost while the domain is active, hence her inability to manipulate the Path, but her Bio-Shifting is even more potent to compensate.

Really shitty ult desu. Literally just walk forwards and ignore the flesh nightmare and you're good. And even if she can maintain it for a while with her reserves, it still has to come down eventually so you could just wait it out and beat her ass when she's out of magical energy.

KNOWN PATRONAGE

Confirmed pact with Yharum, the Many-Moulted Queen. Yes, that Yharum, the one whose flesh is in like half the synth-meat products in the City. The fact that McSpanky's synth-burgers haven't shot up in price means this patronage hasn't hurt corporate production, so Yharum is probably just letting her siphon off some power for fun. Again, more fuel for the schizoposter.

THREAT ASSESSMENT / COUNTER-STRATEGIES

Direct confrontation is a death sentence for most squads. She's a walking army with insane defense and battlefield control. Just shits on any group that tries to fuck with her. Gotta go with BFR if you can - teleport into a null containment cell or somewhere she can't use her magic. Or restrain her if you can, but that's hard when she can just go octpous mode and squeeze through nearly any opening.

Nuke should work, but those works on like, everybody except Physicality and Space school. She might nosell if she can pop her Domain first though.

Psychological warfare is an unknown. If you happen to see her in public, don't be a freaking weirdo - just gtfo. Pissing off someone that could give you every STD on touch is not a good idea.

She will literally turn you into a chair made of living tumors. Get help.

Good compilation, OP. The echolocation theory holds water. We've seen her react to Shadow cucks with perfect accuracy. She's not hacking into every camera nearby and sniffing magic like a bloodhound, but she's decent.

You guys are all corporate shills. She's not a real Luminary! "Yharum" patronage? A wand made of flesh? She's a fucking corpo bio-weapon, an attempt by Aurelius or the Caro Zaibatsu to create their own Luminary that went rogue. They're trying to cover it up by branding her as another "tainted" Luminary.

omg she's so cute though ♡ I saw her once from my window, just walking down the street eating a crepe. she looked so normal! and she was humming a song from the idol group "Starlight Serenade". It’s so sad she has to do all this horrible fighting :( she's just a girl who loves cute things like the rest of us!

the contrast between her cute form and that scary flesh form is gap moe. like she's protecting her innocence by becoming a monster. uoooohhh...

Also OP YOU FUCKED UP THE THREAD NAME!!! Her name is Magical ♡ Girl - Viscera!, you got rid of the cute parts.

You might be onto something, but not in the way you think. The extreme dichotomy between her Light school (Flora, life-giving) and her Dark school (Bio-Shifting, corrupting), her innocent civilian persona and her brutal battle tactics, it points to some serious cognitive dissonance. You can map out the schools a Luminary is most in tune with to their background and personality fairly accurately - it wouldn't suprise me if she might not see her actions as "evil" or "monstrous" at all. To her, growing a flesh-behemoth might be as natural as planting a flower. She's not protecting her innocence, she might not even have a concept of it that we would recognize.

Your ban was lifted? You gonna make another thread about how Boomo has mommy issues or something??? Stop writing fanfic about some random psycho kid.

OOC:
Personality:
Youthful, cheery, seemingly unbothered by the horrors around her - both of her own creation and the work of the corpos and Dark Spirits. She treats her minions like faithful pets, despite most of them looking like skinless monstrocities. She will mourn their passing, even going so far as to pray for them at shrines and dig graves for the smallest of their kin. But she has never shed a tear at their loss, and the soft smile on her face has never left no matter what befalls the girl. Even in her short tenure she has had allies who have lost their lives in battle - her lackidasical attitude towards their passing has created a rift that isolated her from many of the newer Luminaries. As a result, she spends most of her time 'in costume' with the older generation.

She enjoys watching films and reading classic literature. She is a particular fan of romances and dramas, the everpresent smile widening ever so slightly when the protagonist finally embraces their love interest. She also enjoys music, particuarly the upbeat pop that has become ubiquitous in idol culture - she has been seen on more than one occasion attending the concerts of her favorite group, the Starlight Serenade.

She mimics others - mimes their speech, their mannerisms. Its a minor thing, and a crude imitation at that. But those close to her will likely grow uncomfortable as she mirrors the thing they just said back at them. Her inexperience and naivete to the world is jarring when compared to her intellect - she is well read on many topics related to the sciences and can give an hour long lecture on higher esoterica, but she is incapable of using a smatphone, and struggles with the concept of money.

She moves through life like a passerby - not invested in the conflict of light and dark, and only acting in favor of the former due to her status as a Luminary. She merely wishes to experience what the City has to offer. To meet with the people, to see the sights, hear the sounds. It is an impulse she cannot shake. An instinct. Like a chick breaking through its eggshell, or a spider building its web.

It doesn't matter if she is loved or hated. It never mattered before. Only one things matters now.

She must know what the world above is like.
