Description Finally  a new reference for Mars. She desperately needed one, not gonna lie.
I kinda procrastinated on this one but EH.

Minor marking update, she doesn't have the bands on her arms anymore, just one above her wrist.

And now, the lore bomb.

Because Mars isn't a normal LemurDragon.

LemurDragons have a unique kind of magic in their body which is referred to as Adaptability by them. This magic is what allows them to adapt to various universes without suffering from the different laws of the dimensions they jump in, that allows them to use magic even though they have no training in magic skills, that allows them to pretty much do anything that is possible to do in whatever world they’re in, helping them fit in and survive better in worlds they don’t know. 
All these changes, however, are internal  to the LemurDragon, and manifested in various ways, but all remain anatomical, psychological or power-based.

What makes Mars different then?

By Jumping into a Paradox Universe, Mars’ body has taken in the paradox and adapted to the new laws of that universe by making her a paradox as well. A Paradox Universe is akin to a contaminated, corrupted verse in a way, and by jumping in one, Mars’ Adaptability has corrupted her as well to allow her to survive better in the same corrupted environment. Much like a computer virus, the paradox spreads to everything it can touch, and Mars’ Adaptability has absorbed the virus, assimilated it and made it her own.

This has quite obviously caused some differences in Mars’ anatomy and magic, such as:

  • Slit pupils: Normal LemurDragons have round pupils at all times, but Mars’ turn slit like a cat’s when her mind is troubled or she feels guilty, sad or afraid. This is the most direct giveaway of her paradox nature. Her original eye colour, however, is ice blue.

  • Enhanced Adaptability: Normally, a LemurDragon’s Adaptability goes only so far to help them out. In Mars’ case, her Adaptability goes as far as outside of her body, allowing her to create weapons and change her appearance (although only slightly, see Paradox Adaptability) to better fit in and survive. A clear example is her ability to create a fake Keyblade to fight in the Kingdom Hearts dimension.

  • Paradox Adaptability: A special shifting that happens within a locked shapeshifted form, the paradox adaptability allows Mars to change her appearance slightly when in a certain form - this means it’s not an additional shapeshifting at all, but simply shifts parts of her body when in a certain form. For example, Mars can change colour and length of her hair when in human form, and in the FFVII dimension, for instance, she could potentially grow Jenova-based appendages or flesh wings, but she would remain in her locked shifted form.

  • Enhanced Shapeshifting: Mars’ body can memorize as many forms as she wants, far more than the ones she’d normally be allowed to have if she were a normal LemurDragon. This, however, came at the cost of her own feral form, as she cannot go back to her original feral form after entering the Paradox Universe.

  • Locked Shapeshifting: Because of the paradox, Mars’ shapeshifting abilities have been increased, but they are also locked to whatever dimension she’s in. This means that, if she were to shapeshift into a Frieza Race in the dragonball dimension, she wouldn’t be able to carry that form to different dimensions - something other LemurDragons instead could do without a problem. 

  • Paradox Form: Extremely similar to a Heartless in the way it works, her Paradox Form corrupts her physique and turns her into a black mess of darkness and glitches, which is where she took the name from. In Paradox Form her physical strength is enhanced, at the cost of her awareness as only the basic instincts will remain. She works on a “protect, fight, survive” mentality when in this state, and will revert back when all threats have been extinguished or subdued. This form is caused by the paradox mixing with her dark-based powers when in times of danger.

It's good to see my favorite lemurdragon again! Love your concept on the whole paradox stuff and the whole world jumping stuff. I've got some similar concepts myself, if you're ever interested, we should chat it up sometime! Talk about our characters and worlds. I think it'd be fun to learn about the vast expansive universes that you have created within that brilliant mind of yours. ~

I'm glad you enjoy it!
The whole multiverse theory has always fascinated me and I was thrilled to mess with it to give some lore / sense to Mars and her paradox powers. It was a lot of fun to work on.
Hahah, I haven't created THAT much honestly. I usually just make a basic concept for my characters' headworlds so they have somewhere to live in, and sometimes it gets developed afterwards. Mars' and the Aura Shift verses are the two most developed universes I have hah;;;

For me...

I rather enjoy the concept of the multiverse theory. So what I created from

that is... a cosmos? Of which everything exists all at once. Which saying it like

that might make it seem confusing, so allow me to break it down a bit, and

describe it with simple structure to follow. Let's start with Earth! For more

simplicity reasons of course.


You have Earth, orbiting our sun like all the other planets, and within our solar

system. Outside of that you have several solar systems that make up the Milky

Way galaxy! Beyond that you have several galaxies that all make up our universe.

This is where my concept really starts to shine because beyond that you have several

universes that make up a multiverse ring! There are seven rings in total. All orbiting

something called the Core of the Cosmos (think of it like a massive planet). The closer

a multiverse ring is to the Core of the Cosmos, the stronger beings of that ring will be,

and Earth is in the fifth ring! All of these rings together and the Core they surround...

all of this I've named "Vahlaski." After the being that created it.


I use this concept to tie everything together. Unless a parallel timeline or universe is required.

For example, there aren't two Earths, so if my Earth conflicts with the Earth that someone

else has created. Then they are simple "alternate dimensions" or "parallel timelines." However,

if it's a whole world they've created instead, then I can say "it exists within Vahlsaki, and my

[i]'world jumpers'[/i] are capable of going there!"


The world jumpers are also a whole 'nother concept that I'd love to get into, however, I've already

said like a ton here... wouldn't want to flood you with too much information. We all have our

headworlds for our characters. Some of us even have more than that. ;; And it's always plenty of

fun to talk about! I don't know about you, but I could probably go on and on about it all, it's

just hard to find people who'll listen sometimes.
