Alrighty, the move is all set! I still need to get the individual sideblogs ready, but the main hub is in working order. The new main is @pandora-hub, though fair warning, I might be a little more selective on who I follow from here on out. I realized part of my issue was that I didn't feel comfortable here, but nothing personal if I don't follow back. I also wasn't able to make sideblogs for every muse, so I went with the four OCs that had the most going on for them right now.
Well, see you all soon! I'm sick so I'm gonna go lie down again, then work on getting things set up some more.
"I believe that is how Miss March described Sir Boothill's speech patterns to me," she answers with a stifled laughter, "If I recall correctly, she said 'He's like a rootin' tootin' cowboy with yeehaw language!' — and it seems that isn't inaccurate."
Seeing as though the danger had passed, she holstered Dawn and Dusk at either side of her person. The blasters were something she adjusted to, but oh, how she missed her blade. That sword which had been with her since the day she set foot in the castle, through every little tribulation she faced. Would she still be able to find it, should she find a cure for the petrification?
Ah, but then the cybernetics came up. Gloved hands hid the true nature of her arms rather well; she still struggled with seeing her own mechanical limbs. Their design allowed for just enough sense of touch that she could tell something was there, but beyond that, the vision of her arms being lost to the Blight of Stone still echoed in her mind.
"'Blue Screen'... I've heard the term myself, but I've yet to see such a phenomena. I'm afraid I know precious little of cybernetics…" Julian asks, "Do you think it would cause his eyes to turn blue, perhaps?"
"This is bad...!" She's currently searching for Aki, the twins, and Bruno. Where the hell could they be...? Leo and Luna had never even been targeted by anyone until now! At this rate, she might have the entire Ark searched in record time — and with no sign of them anywhere.
And now misc headcanons for the HSR verse that I couldn't really fit anywhere else ikujyhtgrfe
Learning to wield a gun was far different from what she was used to (that being a blade), but Julian was quick to pick it up. She's an accurate shot, which in turn allows her to finish off battles fairly quickly.
Julian's fighting style is highly self-endangering. She draws the attention of the enemy (or enemies) using the dazzling effects of her former magic given to her by The Beauty, which in turn can - and at times does - get her into a lot of trouble if there are too many opponents to face. This has lead to her getting scolded occasionally by the others before her world was overtaken by the Stellaron.
She can make blue roses appear out of thin air, given she's a 'magic knight', and often does this as a means of cheering people up. It was a little trick she learned a long time ago from her mentor, but some used to say that "roses followed in her wake".
The fact that Idrila is either deceased or missing is entirely news to her. On her home world, there hadn't been talk of any such thing, as it was fairly isolated much like Belobog. Thus, she cannot say she's on either "side" of the Knights of Beauty, only wishing to find the truth of THEIR absence - no matter how tragic.
Her definition of 'beauty' is very quiet and rather simple. She doesn't have the voice to be as grandiose as some of her fellow Knights of Beauty. It's much like she views it as something that doesn't really even need to be stated — she's far more comfortable writing her actual thoughts on it than speaking them. It feels more tangible to her that way.
She tends to hide her prosthetic arms. In fact, between her gloves and the long sleeves of her coat, very few actually know she even has them!
...And now have gameplay data I wrote up a while ago for her! =w=
General
Rating: Standard Banner ★★★★★
Element: Wind
Path: Preservation
Weapon: Twin plasma blasters, "Dawn" and "Dusk"
Team Role: DPS
Recommended Eidolons: E1
General Strategy: Cause the highest possible damage with her Ultimate to create shields on her team
Desired Stats: Attack % → Speed → Crit % → Energy Recharge → All others
Strategy: Julian's skillset lends to a very DPS-heavy, fast play style that allows her to passively protect her fellow party members. All of her abilities deal some amount of damage, which is how her shields are created, and thus she favors Attack-focused Light Cones, Relics, Ornaments, and teammates that can help to keep up her fast damage. The best are ones that are centered around her, but she can make due with more generic items.
Drawbacks: Outside of her shields and taunt, Julian has a fairly "selfish" kit compared to some other characters. It's better that she act as either a primary DPS with supportive party members or as a secondary DPS to supplement support as needed while aiding the primary DPS, rather than only using her as support. Not having her first Eidolon can also make using her Technique less rewarding, so it'd best to get it as soon as you can.

"Be called Delta due what I been called as, the Delta One. Least from what the Flame Witch and her associates call me. But I don't get it still, plus you're not the only one that been getting a Delta variant. I even sent out some Delta variants to Yugi and others too, help out for the war."
Squeaking when he was having such measures when he been busy. Puzzled of that while shrugging his shoulders.
"I been busy sending such cards off like stars, tiring but we need all we can get. Even having to send Valerie away, again. Ugh... I don't get it why she be crazy of pressuring me, hrm. I felt bad of putting Izare to sleep after his outburst but ahh... only thing could think of at the time."
Looking down when he been through a lot and it be getting worse it seems, even if he been drifting about with his misadventures while being free to wander.
"You will, ooh! Want to try a runner race? I have a fuzzy brain of it but I do know how to handle such a thing. Don't know how but it's fun, even when making the runner fly. Hehe."
"Oh—" Of course, that name these primordial judges kept calling him. Now she just felt silly! She did her best to ignore the headache that Yugi's name brought to her, a reaction from the 'other Julian' somehow, instead trying to focus on him. "I see, that must have been the burst of energy I felt just after I finally woke up..."
It seems she'll have to check on Izare too, then. Something must have happened for him to have an outburst strong enough to cause that. Things were definitely getting bad...
"Ah, w-well I would, but... My duel runner was pretty damaged back when I was nearly electrocuted to death. I tried getting it running, but nothing worked." she explains, "Storm Chaser may be finally done, after it was on its last legs for so long."
"Oh good! Apparently Cid was worried... Or at least, that's what Anti said." Julian answers. But then the card was presented to her — or, well, the glowing form of a card anyway. "Delta...? You don't mean... the Accel Synchro Caelum and Antinomy can use? Are you sure—?"
She'd never been able to achieve even close to Accel Synchro yet, let alone Delta Accel, yet Lazarus was handing it right to her all the same. Did she even deserve to when she didn't yet have the means to summon that form Scrap Dragon, of Hephaistia? She had no idea... But she also couldn't just keep Laz standing there, carefully taking the 'card'.
Once she did, its state changed. The glow almost seemed to peel away to reveal a new version of her Signer Dragon; Atomic Scrap Dragon.
"...I'll do my best to make sure I've earned it, Laz. Thank you."
Checking in when curious while having missed out on seeing a small knight, busy floating behind his friend before lightly tapping at the shoulder yet floating the other direction. Playing around before squeaking on touching his feet to the floor when greeting Julian.
"Hi! Hehe."
Waving his sleeves at her while he has been busy yet sneaking to check in on her, it was strange to see him on his own outside the library but he was enjoying the freedom.
Julian had been looking for the chaotic deity. After what Antinomy mentioned, and the strange energy she felt after she'd finally awoken, she just had to make sure he was okay. If he was hurt, she wanted to at least try to help the best that she could, even if her healing only went so far. Yet when she felt something tap her left shoulder, nothing was there. And then again, but on her right. Ah, so that's what he was up to; she caught him on the third time.
"Well, I see you're okay after all! That's good," she says, "Sorry if I worried you with my absence, Laz. I didn't want you and the others to get sick..."
"Bruno likely says it be from that soul bond with Mal. Which I sort of understand when thinking of it more. Even if Bruno be still teasing me for being a bit hard to lift and move, took him and Calcifer to move me pfft..."
Sheepish when he be flustered of that while sitting there, yet he was happy to see her up and about again.
"Good. Since Cid likely pounce on you if he sees you, he won't admit it but... he was busying himself just to keep from moping around like a lost cat." snickering of that last bit while his wings fluttered slightly, "Still got a small break but... things be likely to roll faster soon. No joke, least what Caelum told us when keeping contacts with Yugi and others. Laz too when busying himself, he did roar earlier so... maybe something happened. Felt like he was really pissed off... ahh." Anti been doing his best to keep busy himself especially at a time like this even he was nervous about things.
"I imagine so... But that's okay. They suit you, at least—!" Though, when Julian tried to help him back to his feet... It wasn't exactly working. Before she could, even if only barely, but not so much this time! "Seems I can't either... Hephaistia probably still could though!"
Still, she made a very important note in her head; to check on Cid so he knew she was alright. She felt a little bad; she knew the androids like he and Antinomy couldn't really get sick in the same sense that she could, but she hated worrying people. Hopefully he didn't think that she was mad at him...
"I felt something after I finally woke up, but... I'm not sure what it was. Maybe I should check on those tw—" She was about to say, but the mention of Yugi caused one of those headaches to shoot through her skull. Julian grabbed her head with her hand, trying to get it to calm. "O-ow... Right, I think there was another me, wasn't there...? If that got triggered by merely mentioning the King of Games, then..."
