History Roleplay / TheLightofOurSolus

''The Light of Our Solus'' (previously known as Random Guy Quest) is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' based quest hosted on Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom, though it features a large cast of original characters and plays around with the show's canon while adding in new plotlines. It stars Mordin Solus, a recently born EldritchAbomination who has spent thousands of years sleeping beneath the planet, waiting to be born. Taking the form of a [[LittleBitBeastly wolf/fox faunus]], Mordin lives out his life among the people of Remnant, training to become a hunter for no other reason than [[ItAmusedMe it seemed interesting at the time]].

* NamesTheSame: Blake Solus and Blake Belladonna both share the same first name, which causes a lot of confusion. Doesn’t help that one is a cat while the other is a cat faunus. Gets worse when [[spoiler: both gain the ability to assume a form similar to the other]].

* CoolPet: Blake can turn into a tiger and ''create small suns''!

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler: Mar'Gol]] can do this to anyone in a certain range.

* TheLostWoods: Caldereca's prison is this and a PortalCrossroadWorld.

* ClingyJealousGirl: [[spoiler: Ruby]] is like this with Mordin. She won't actually hurt anyone, but she might try to scare them off. Mordin gets like this after some character development. Flirt with [[spoiler: Ruby]] and he'll causually begin eating [[UptoEleven knives]] in front of you.

->''“Life, it can be such a wonderful and terrible thing. Some would give anything to keep it, yet some feel nothing as they take it away.\\

Who will YOU be?”''

->''“A new being, something not seen before. Will this world accept you? Will you accept it? You are the first to appear and hopefully the last.”''

* ActionPet: Blake. SheÂ’s more than capable of ripping apart giant grimm with her bare paws and yet is still just a five month old kitten.
* AlienAmongUs: Pretty much what MordinÂ’s race does in order to be born. They impregnate their young deep within the earth until the day they are ready to gain a body of their own.

* AncientArtifact: Mordin practically trips over them during his daily walks. One artifact in specific — a sword he calls Moonlight Greatsword — is capable of shooting lasers.

* BackFromTheDead: Mordin — using the power he gained from the semi-sapient soul eating tree — brings everyone in the future research facility back to life. Downplayed with Talitha, who can revive the ''very'' recently deceased if they're mostly in one piece.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Mordin, being an Eldritch Abomination, has this in spades. While still a good person, Mordin does not see anything wrong with causing his enemies large amounts of pain, doesnÂ’t see anything wrong with large amounts of blood and gore, and doesnÂ’t know why losing limbs is that big of a deal.

* BornLucky: Blake. She is the best at gambling and at games of chance. SheÂ’s so lucky that even hanging around her can make MordinÂ’s luck better than before.
* BornWinner: Mordin, by virtue of being a Solus, is a reality warping planet eater. He has command over domains of reality, each of which is more than capable of destroying the universe if practiced hard enough. His soul is large and powerful enough to make the average person almost godlike if flooded with its power. HeÂ’s capable of learning increasingly complicated skills in less than a few weeks if he practices enough. And if he ever dies he can resurrect himself good as new.

* CantHoldHisLiquor: When Mordin removed most of his bodyÂ’s natural resistance to alcohol just to see what it was like to get drunk, he almost immediately became hammered out of his mind. He could barely walk and ended up sleeping in the same bed with Jaune, unknowingly terrifying him in the process.

* CivilizedAnimal: Blake Solus, MordinÂ’s pet cat, starts out as a normal cat. When she was awakened, she gained sapience and became this.

* CombatTentacles: Mordin has these. HeÂ’s fairly proud of them and likes to use then for a lot of things.

* DeadlyUpgrade: MordinÂ’s sacrifice domain allows him to flood the person he cares most with the full power of a Solus soul. This makes them into a nearly godlike entity but has the unfortunate drawback of killing them within a minute afterward.
* DeepSleep: Mordin was put into a sleep that lasted for thousands of years at the beginning of the story. ItÂ’s the Solus equivalent of a fetus going through nine months inside a motherÂ’s womb.
* {{Determinator}}: Mordin privately wonders why humans and faunus continue to fight against the Grimm, when logic states that they have no chance against a never ending enemy. ItÂ’s part of the reason why he wants to live: to figure out why people do the things they do.
* DevourTheDragon: A more heroic version. Mordin has a domain that allows him to kill the people he cares most, in order to gain power. It’s incredibly powerful but — for obvious reasons — he’ll probably never use it.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Mordin is this. ItÂ’s practically his defining trait. There is nothing that he cannot eat and nothing that doesnÂ’t taste good to him. From poison to moldy week old sandwiches, to his own limbs, he is more than willing to eat anything put in front of him. Even Grimm, beings made up of nothing but darkness and hate, are things that he will enthusiastically eat.

* FalseFriend: Mordin honestly thinks Cardin is a friend. Cardin, meanwhile, has made no attempt to hide the fact that he doesnÂ’t like him. Also Roman Torchwick, who "befriends" Mordin strictly for his own benefit. It seems like Mordin might be growing on him, though.

* AFatherToHisMen: Odol. So much that he’s willing to kill Mordin — who looks like a thirteen year old child — from the mere thought that he killed his men.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Cardin, naturally. Most of his racist behavior isnÂ’t accepted, but they all still hang out with him. [[CharacterDevelopment He becomes better later on though,]] and ends up being coming the group's OnlySaneMan along with Ren.

* TheGift: Mordin — as well as anyone he personally awakens — has this.
* HealingFactor: Mordin has one on par with Wolverine. So far heÂ’s been stabbed in the heart, ripped in half, lost multiple limbs, and ''partially melted by lava'', throughout the story.

* HeroicBSOD: Yang goes through a period of this after hitting Mordin and rupturing most of his organs. Despite his blasé attitude towards the incident, it still takes some time before she gets over it. Even then, she had to go to counseling in order to come to terms with what she did.

* ImplacableMan: Mordin has shades of this when fighting against grimm and opponents. His healing factor means that he can take absurd amounts of damage without breaking a sweat, and the fact that he doesnÂ’t have to rely on aura means that the only way to beat him is by physically tiring him out.
* ImprobableAge: Mordin, Blake, and Talitha are all incredibly young to be doing the things that they do. For reference, Blake is the oldest of the three and sheÂ’s only ''five months old''. Mordin has only been alive for three months while Talitha has only been up for a few hours. Justified in that Blake is a cat, Mordin is an EldritchAbomination so normal rules donÂ’t apply, and Talitha is a fully functioning robot who was programmed to know basic information.
* InnocentInnuendo: Mordin and Ruby are working on repairing an ancient sword he found in a bunch of ruins. From the perspective of an outsider, a lot of the terms they say sounds incredibly suggestive. Yang ends up thinking that theyÂ’re actually having sex and fights Mordin. It doesnÂ’t end well for either of them.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Mordin talks about losing limbs and getting ripped in half like how normal people talk about losing their car keys. He doesnÂ’t consider it that big of a deal when it happens to him and is very confused when people freak out over it.

* NamesTheSame: Blake Solus and Blake Belladonna both share the same first name, which causes a lot of confusion. DoesnÂ’t help that one is a cat while the other is a cat faunus. Gets worse when [[spoiler: both gain the ability to assume a form similar to the other]].

* NoSocialSkills: MordinÂ’s five month old kitten has more social skills than him. Some of the most basic forms of social interaction complex escape him, while common sense might as well be another language at times. Whether or not this is due to his Eldritch status or because of how unbelievably young he is, remains to be seen.
* TheNotSoHarmlessPunishment: YangÂ’s punishment for the sparring incident is to answer all of MordinÂ’s questions for a month. It doesnÂ’t seem too bad at first, until Mordin asks what sex and tentacle sex is.
* ObliviouslyEvil: The mutant tree from TalithaÂ’s timeline. ItÂ’s cheerful and has the mind of an over-eager child, yet doesnÂ’t seem to realize that killing people and taking their souls is a bad thing.

* OneWingedAngel: MordinÂ’s true form. So far, he hasnÂ’t used it.

* ThePowerOfTheSun: One of BlakeÂ’s forms allows her to create two small suns that she can hurl at people.

* RealityWarper: A lot of Mordin, Blake, and TalithaÂ’s abilities come off as this. Mordin himself is shown to have accidentally ripped apart a section of space and time when he was just born.

* ScarfOfAsskicking: TalithaÂ’s long Fourth Doctor like scarf is her weapon of choice. It is capable of turning into a gigantic pair of arms as well as two machine guns.

* ShockAndAwe: MordinÂ’s lightning domain.

* TooSmartForStrangers: Subverted. Mordin ends up getting kidnapped by some guy after he eats some drugged food. But Mordin being Mordin, he doesnÂ’t have much to worry about.

* UnskilledButStrong: Mordin. HeÂ’s getting better.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Mordin. Most people, when they hear about his crossdressing, either donÂ’t make a big deal about it or encourage him to do what he likes. It helps that he really seems to pull the girl look off.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Mordin says heÂ’s fifteen, looks thirteen, but is actually only a few months old. That is, unless you count the years he spent sleeping underneath the earth in a pocket dimension, which he doesnÂ’t. Talitha is also younger than she looks, being only less than a day old when Mordin awakened her.
* YourSoulIsMine: Mordin is entirely capable of eating souls to gain power. He just doesnÂ’t, because he thinks that itÂ’s kinda rude to do so. The soul eating tree form the alternate timeline Talitha is from, doesnÂ’t agree with him. He/She/It thinks souls taste delicious. [[spoiler: After obtaining the Throne of Heroes, Raven Branwen can capture the souls of anyone she defeats, and summon them to fight for her.]] There's also [[spoiler: a Grimm in the form of a book that slowly steals peoples souls, then takes control of their [[VoodooZombie bodies]]]]. Salem is also able to steal souls.

Salem is also able to steal souls.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Light Domain's appropriately named Death Beam.

* Expy: In-universe. Blake ends up writing some popular novels that feature characters ''clearly'' modeled after her friends and teammates.

* AndYourRewardIsInfancy: Mordin can do this to people if he kills them under certain circumstances. He eventually does it to a monster that was originally a human.

* AndShowItToYou: Mordin rips out more than one Grimm heart out during the story.

* EvolvingWeapon: Moonlight. It was broken into several different blades, of which Mordin has found two. He's also combined it with the Shard of Perfection, ''significantly'' increasing it's power.

* PowerLimiter: Lux Sum Mundi has no less than ''thirteen'' seals on it. Each one has a very specific requirement to be undone, and it's never been fully unsealed. [[Spoiler: It eventually gets a fourteenth seal.]]

* IHaveYourWife: Or friends, in this case. A cult kidnaps [[spoiler: Roman and Neo]] and tells Mordin to surrender himself or else. [[spoiler: It goes incredibly poorly for the kidnappers.]]

* MagicalGirl: Mordin's Contract domain lets him turn willing individuals into these. Currently Only Xiao Green, Blake, and Ruby have taken the offer.

* PowerLimiter: Lux Sum Mundi has no less than ''thirteen'' seals on it. Each one has a very specific requirement to be undone, and it's never been fully unsealed.

* ReforgedBlade: Moonlight, partially. It was mystically split into several different blades, but Mordin's found two.

* TimeStandsStill: [[spoiler: Ozpin]] is capable of this.

* YourSoulIsMine: Mordin is entirely capable of eating souls to gain power. He just doesn’t, because he thinks that it’s kinda rude to do so. The soul eating tree form the alternate timeline Talitha is from, doesn’t agree with him. He/She/It thinks souls taste delicious.

** The reason why he hates faunus so much is because he feels that they're all ungrateful and terrorists in the making. He talks about how even with all the rights faunus have been given they still try to take more and more, never being grateful for the rights they have been given and always acting like victims. And how faunus like the White Fang are legitimately hurting people, making normal people who didn't so anything wrong scared for their lives.

* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: A rather meta example, the quest features the "Lost Shop", where questers that have earnt "Lost Points" or "LP" can spend them for various meta- or in-game bonuses. One catch - the shop isn't in plain sight, but hidden behind cryptic riddles that hint at it's location. Of course, if that wasn't enough, every time that anyone finds the shop, it moves to a different location, and must be found again.

** CoolPet: She can turn into a tiger and ''create small suns''!
* AFatherToHisMen: Odol. So much that he’s willing to kill Mordin — who looks like a thirteen year old child — from the mere thought that he killed his men.

* [[BackFromtheDead Back From the Dead]]: Mordin — using the power he gained from the semi-sapient soul eating tree — brings everyone in the future research facility back to life. Downplayed with Talitha, who can revive the ''very'' recently deceased if they're mostly in one piece.

* [[BattleintheCenteroftheMind Battle in the Center of the Mind]]: Mordin battles [[spoiler: a fragment of Valtile Arc within the depths of Ruby's soul.]]

* [[BlueandOrangeMorality Blue and Orange Morality]]: Mordin, being an Eldritch Abomination, has this in spades. While still a good person, Mordin does not see anything wrong with causing his enemies large amounts of pain, doesn’t see anything wrong with large amounts of blood and gore, and doesn’t know why losing limbs is that big of a deal.

** CuriosityIsACrapshoot: Sometimes falls into this. Especially when he got kidnapped.

* [[DevourtheDragon Devour The Dragon]]: A more heroic version. Mordin has a domain that allows him to kill the people he cares most, in order to gain power. It’s incredibly powerful but — for obvious reasons — he’ll probably never use it.
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu?: [[spoiler: Ruby asked Mordin out seconds after she found out he was a EldritchAbomination. He said yes, and now they're in a romantic relationship.]]

* [[EatingtheEnemy Eating the Enemy]]: Mordin does this to so many Grimm.

* [[FedoraofAsskicking Fedora of Asskicking]]: Felicia has this.

* [[ForWantofaNail For Want of a Nail]]: Barring a few exceptions, H's semblance allows him an ''enormous'' amount of control over the butterfly effect provided he asks the right questions.

* FusionDance: Mordin can fuse with others to create a temporary composite being.
** He can also fuse similar weapons together.

* [[GettingSmiliesPaintedonYourSoul Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul]]: A very mild case. "Nice Guy", one of H's men, has the ability to make himself supernaturally likable. It isn't terribly powerful though, and he can't turn it off. Nice Guy himself dislikes this ability, and makes it a point to tell his friends about it, since it doesn't affect anyone who knows how it works.

* [[MasterofDisguise Master of Disguise]]: [[TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter Soul mimics]] are this naturally. Justified, since they can copy some of the memories of those they touch.
* [[MasterofYourDomain Master of Your Domain]]: Mordin is capable of manipulating his biology. This gives him hardened skin, super strength, a healing factor, and poison resistance.
* [[TheMindIsaPlaythingoftheBody The Mind is a Plaything of the Body]]: [[spoiler: Blake]] initially has trouble adapting to the instincts of [[spoiler: her]] animal form.

* [[NamestheSame Name's the Same]]: Blake Solus and Blake Belladonna both share the same first name, which causes a lot of confusion. Doesn’t help that one is a cat while the other is a cat faunus. Gets worse when [[spoiler: both gain the ability to assume a form similar to the other]].

* OhCrap: This tends to happen to those who attack Mordin, since they usually underestimate him in some way.
** Of particular note is [[spoiler: Lost Light]]. When attacking Mordin [[spoiler: she]] remains smugly assured... until he pulls out [[WeaponOfXSlaying Lux Sum Mundi]], very quickly shifting from quiet confidence to ''unrestrained panic''.

* [[TempleofDoom Temple of Doom]]: The [[spoiler: Branwen]] temple. It's impossible to enter unless you're a member of the clan [[spoiler: or are a Solus]] and is filled with ancient, powerful items. Subverted in that the challenges to obtain an item are frankly hilarious.

* [[spoiler:[[PoweredbyAForsakenChild Powered by a Forsaken Child]]: A rare heroic example. Mordin is host to the soul of one Nene Lesam, one of the many shattered souls he rescued. When she possesses a Nevermore it becomes ''immensely'' stronger, and loyal to Mordin.]]

* [[ThePoweroftheSun The Power of the Sun]]: One of Blake’s forms allows her to create two small suns that she can hurl at people.
* [[PowerofLove Power of Love]]: [[spoiler: Mordin and Ruby]] seem to use this. When they are near each other they grow stronger.

* [[Really700YearsOld Really 700 Years Old]]: If you count the years in which he spent sleeping deep underneath the earth, Mordin is actually older than the grimm and possibly humanity itself.
* [[RedStringofFate Red String of Fate]]: Nier Axolotl can apparently see these with his semblance.

* [[RobeandWizardHat Robe and Wizard Hat]]: Mordin has these. Surprisingly it looks much more awesome and threatening than [[https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jbzMoxF-NqY/VP28IqhxG4I/AAAAAAAAACQ/degwGNYVUao/w750-h958/black_mage_by_theoriginale-d34yx1w.jpg you would think.]]

* [[ScarfofAsskicking Scarf of Asskicking]]: Talitha’s long Fourth Doctor like scarf is her weapon of choice. It is capable of turning into a gigantic pair of arms as well as two machine guns.

* [[ShockandAwe Shock and Awe]]: Mordin’s lightning domain.

* [[SlippingaMickey Slipping a Mickey]]: Played straight and for laughs at the same time. During the school dance, no less than 20 people spiked the punch with alcohol. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, an unknown agent spiked it with something much stronger, and a large part of the Beacon student body wasn't able to defend themselves from a coming attack.]]

* [[TooSmartforStrangers Too Smart for Strangers]]: Subverted. Mordin ends up getting kidnapped by some guy after he eats some drugged food. But Mordin being Mordin, he doesn’t have much to worry about.

* [[UnskilledbutStrong Unskilled, But Strong]]: Mordin. He’s getting better.

* [[YourSoulisMine Your Soul Is Mine]]: Mordin is entirely capable of eating souls to gain power. He just doesn’t, because he thinks that it’s kinda rude to do so. The soul eating tree form the alternate timeline Talitha is from, doesn’t agree with him. He/She/It thinks souls taste delicious. [[spoiler: After obtaining the Throne of Heroes, Raven Branwen can capture the souls of anyone she defeats, and summon them to fight for her.]] There's also [[spoiler: a Grimm in the form of a book that slowly steals peoples souls, then takes control of their [[VoodooZombie bodies]]]].

''The Light of Our Solus'' (previously known as Random Guy Quest) is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' based quest hosted on [[https://forums.spacebattles.com Spacebattles]], though it features a large cast of original characters and plays around with the show's canon while adding in new plotlines. It stars Mordin Solus, a recently born EldritchAbomination who has spent thousands of years sleeping beneath the planet, waiting to be born. Taking the form of a [[LittleBitBeastly wolf/fox faunus]], Mordin lives out his life among the people of Remnant, training to become a hunter for no other reason than [[ItAmusedMe it seemed interesting at the time]].
