是人行邪道 不 不能见如来
一切有为法 如梦幻泡影
如露亦如电 应作如是观
非空非有 亦空亦有
不生法相 无所住
非空非有 亦空亦有
不生法相 无所住

Ch'ang Yue Hua  /  常月華
|   21 > 23 YRS OLD.  SHE/HER.  5'1".   |

Out of our sight, you dreamed a beautiful dream.

(

The younger of a pair of twins. Sick for as long as she could remember; dying as of five months before the world's first FullDive MMO, Sword Art Online, hit the shelves. Ch'ang Yue Hua unknowingly spent her last days in reality aimless, drifting from distraction to distraction between treatments and increasingly long spates of time wherein her condition worsened to near unmanageable. She tried her utmost to be kind and patient with her grieving family, with the exception of her twin sister, whom she hadn't spoken to in years.

She was just passing the time.

On the day Sword Art Online's servers opened, Yue Hua had felt unwell. She argued, uncharacteristically, with her caretakers to let her seize perhaps one of the last moments of excitement she would ever get. She sank not an hour later into FullDive and felt herself at peace as the sense blockers washed away all perception of reality.

The door closed behind her. She did not know if she wanted to come back.

)

Dearest sister. Beloved daughter.

常月華。

V&F

Spoiler

[+ / - Fey]
An outlier. A sympathizer. Unconventional and unwilling to change. Your attitude towards her is defined by your attitude towards things you do not understand. She may from time to time come to call herself a part of one group but there will always remain an unbreachable line before her. Stars are meant to be admired from a distance, are they not?

[+ Open-minded / - Sentimental]
In her head, she fashions herself as some kind of passing witness. In her travels, she has grown to excel in the outward facing side of it. She is remarkably easy to get along with. She is kind, considerate, a good listener, and stoic, and harsher personalities would sooner be blunted by her strange lack of judgment than be answered back in turn. In her own emotional self, she fares less gracefully. She is quick to form attachments despite her efforts otherwise and she passively allows them to strain at her, uncomplaining, like threads.

[+ / - Content]
A lotus-eater. Sword Art Online is her paradise, her island. Though she is naturally curious about this world, she is unconcerned about everyone's progress up the tower. She is perfectly happy with the way that things are and she rarely does anything she doesn't want. She lives a prolonged blue spring and summer, passing most of her days in play and relaxation. When the time moves past its due and nothing but an endless stretch of questions awaits her, what else is there for a lost one to choose but to step off the edge and set things back as they were?

the chinese text in the header translates to:

one who sees me by outward appearance and seeks me in sound,
treads the heterodox path and cannot perceive the tathagata.
all sentient beings are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble and a shadow,
like dew and lightning, one should see it as it is.
not empty, not existent, but also empty and existent.
there is no dharma, no abiding.
not empty, not existent, but also empty and existent.
there is no dharma, no abiding.

the chinese text in the stat block translates to:

tired of your faded love stirring up my mind,
i came by like a surprise after getting lost in light.
i never fantasized about you truly loving me,
crazy memories and fantasies can all go away now.

formatting rules:

  • past tense, proper case.
  • text color: #999900.
  • abbreviation: HUA.

  • i refer to her as 'hua' ooc. i am only referring to her as 'pollux' now to keep things consistent.
  • regarding claims: shu is her default and i also imagine she has the same voice; lumine is her appearance in reality/without the vanity effects.
  • pollux was born and raised in beijing, china. the following are the meanings of the characters in her real name:
    • ch'ang (常) --- lasting forever.
    • yue (月) --- moon.
    • hua (華) --- flower.
  • pollux was receiving treatment in japan for her condition around the time sword art online was released. pollux's nervegear and copy of sword art online was given to her by her twin sister.

"I have always been curious about what was going through Kayaba's head when he made all this. Creation reflects creator. If this game's world was so beautiful anyway, why choose to lock us in? T'would have been praised to high heavens back in reality, rather than reviled both inside and out. If we dig deep enough, there might be -- something."

- Pollux on the game. Cute Little Kitty Cats, #10.
