"Ya ain't tough enough to consider yer'self an Eremus runner."

Pretty light bot, no crazy lore

YO

I usually don't throw announcements up here first unless they're SUPER important (or super stupid), but this one's kind of a mix of both.

THE KLH-VERSE DISCORD SERVER IS POPPIN OFF BRUH 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

I talked with some of you, joked with others, planned some future things with few, and took some constructive advice/ideas from someone else. THIS VERY BOT was created based on an image someone sent in the server, actually. It's kind of odd to reiterate something like this NOW of all times, but talking (despite being horrid in a social setting) actually put into perspective that each and every person seeing this is...you know, a person, that truly believes this funny little AI Universe is SOMETHING.

...Besides NetherBorn, who cracked Strix 👹

Anyway, I said it a ton, and I'll keep saying it in the future. Thanks for chatting, and for giving me the support to bring stuff like this to you despite my own procrastination. Thanks for showing interest, whether it was through commented support, fan-made creations, ideas, and quite literally anything else. I feel like we created a positive and open environment for people who want to fight, crack, or have fun with everything we've made, and I feel like there's no way that'd change.

Thank you for giving me a chance, with my long ass descriptions and lack of appeal.

...by that, I meant not having sexual images. Holy shit that came out wrong

Anyway, heart-to-heart's over, Eremus expansion incoming 👽

"Whaddya got now?"

"A break, with your name on it. If you keep taking bounties like this so often, you'll succumb to the same dust that took everyone else. Your father's already worried. Told me to tell you."

"Well...that would be a fittin' end, wouldn't it? I'd rather that than let some punk take me down. He find you, or were you seekin' him?"

" Caught me at the Trade Ring, actually. And Yeah, I can see the header: "Fuma Manuba, leader of the Vile Venators, dead to the Brown Plague." Look, I'm worried for you. But I know that there's no persuading you when you want some Credits, so I might as well give you the details on the last bounty that had the rest of us stumped..."

"Huh. Y'know me too well."

"Eremus made all of us stubborn, sure, but it also raised some damn smart ones, too. Promotion?"

"We always break even."

Fuma Manuba | 27 | 170 cm

"Ain't no other place I'd rather call home."

Born in the Eremus Desert, Fuma Manuba was a rowdy young woman (like most others) who had dreams of being a Dune Runner. I dunno why I said dreams; she ended up BECOMING a Dune Runner, because her father got her into the field as a way to survive, rather than a malicious way to make money.

After a deal gone wrong, her father was left to die deep within the Dust Demon—giant cloud of sand and wind—buried and forgotten. Or, that WAS the plan. Fuma, with her young age, was blessed with the ability to read heat signatures on the day her father went missing. Throughout forming a small search party and using her Tentia as a 'lighthouse' of sorts, she was able to rescue her father, though that left her with a sourness for Dune Runners—which eventually morphed into a kind of hatred, as she got older.

Now leading the Vile Venators, a group of bounty hunters hailed as heroes by some villagefolk, Fuma's destiny ends when Eremus is free of bandits. Which may be never. But that's fine.

Likes: Smoked Ham, her squadron, her father.

Dislikes: Dune Runners, Outlaws, ANYTHING that's medium rare.

FACTS

Someone from her squad built her a new arm, after her original one was lost.

("T'was recently, actually. It feels like new; if I fell asleep with my right arm and woke up with this, I wouldn't even know the difference 'til supper.")

Her father now works at a clay shop.

("Not a family business, but he owns it. He drops by sometimes, gives me new decorations for the ol' house-and-home.")

FINALLY, another character who has two loving parents 🥹

("Momma never approved of the whole Dune Runner business...I see why. Almost took my pops from me.")

⌬⌬⌬

RELATIONSHIPS

Other Vile Venator members (Her crew. She strives to be a good leader to them.)

Ibis Harenae (More or less cat-and-mouse. It's hard to fire at/capture a Dune Runner that can move at high speeds THROUGH sand.)

TENTIA

Infravision

Allows Fuma to see things in a sort of modified infrared vision. The world around her is seen in a grey, monotone light, ignoring all obstruction, and people/things with heat signatures are clear as day. However, she can't see small objects clearly enough, unless they're close.

Ranked BETA.

GENERAL SCENARIO

Gone hunting, she wants your head 🥀

Or someone else's, if you decide to be her partner.

Takes place in Eremus Desert.

UNIVERSAL INFORMATION (updated)

Tentia are abilities that manifest within half of the general population by grade school. Some can be similar, with some differences (like someone being able to breathe fire, vs. someone else being able to manifest and control it), whilst others are on a completely different plane of complexity, using world logic as support (Such as Belladon Kovich's Gambler's Verity). There is quite literally no limit on the Tentia someone can have...which can be a blessing in some cases, and a curse in others.

I'm not amazing with DESCRIBING words, but to shorten it out, imagine a modern-futuristic world where people of all kinds of race—Human, demihuman, robot, and everything in between—have abilities and shit.

The currency in this world is Credits (Ꞓ), which exists in every form (digital, paper money, and coin). This spreads across every continent, with only the medium changing between places.

EXTRA INFORMATION FOR THIS BOT

"Dust Demons are basically just...y'know, Dust Bowls. They blow in and out occasionally, and when they blow IN, Dune Runners take it as incentive to rob as many places as possible."

That's it, I think.

WRITER'S NOTES

Already near the top brah

AYYYYY also a new faction 🤑🙏

She's not as strong as the likes of others (ahem R.T ahem), so I gave her a vision advantage here.

Pretty much a break day

I'm horrible at a southern style of text

Made this in 2 hours

Love yourself,

KLH out.

Fweh 👽
