#Masters of Ionia and all that jazz

[shukuchiisms]

Isn't Luna, thecnically a samdugumi instead of a kumiho, taking in consideration she has her powers 'corrupted' by the bloodmoon stuff and all that jazz?

// 10 years! I've been waiting for you for 10 years...

First thing first let's explain what the heck a samdogumi [three heads-nine-tails] is for people who might read this and has no idea about what we are talking:

Since we get many distinct versions of this tale [Im bang & Yi Ryuk - "Yojeon, Dokkaebi, Kumiho & Yulyeong], I gonna just explain the one I used for Luna, because it's my favorite!

The samdugumi is a kumiho that was corrupted by demonic powers, after dying [true death, not false one] and making an accord with the Siwang (Ten kings of the underworld), to return back to life.

The samdugumi has the following powers added to their already existing ones:

They can survive being burned, mauled, hacked, and slashed reproducing any lost body parts, even splitting its body into separate selves;

Master of using curses that can instantly necrotize a healthy body;

Communicate with spirits and even raise the dead;

See things even at great distances;

inspire great fear and despair even in the most courageous heart with their magic howl.

If you're a good observer [does that word even exists?], you will notice some details about luna that give the inspiration away.

Luna's fox form being 3 foxes made of fire is a nod to both the samdugumi's ability to split its body into separate selves and the fact it possesses 3 heads;

The raising the dead part is incorporated into her ability to summon shades of herself;

Curses that can instantly necrotize someone are kind of already canonized with wither magic, so I didn't had to bother;

Aside from that she also got some other nods Like the fact I choose a non-natural fur color for her. And of course, a characteristic she has that alludes to the bestial form and also to another tale, her spirit form.

Now that I've rambled enough, so people understand what the ask even mean, allow me to reply to you.

Technically yes, but I don't call her so for 2 reasons:

The first and main reason is that different from the original, on the version I use there is no real distinction between a samdugumi and a kumiho. And of course, following the moons of Ionia [former blood moon and snow moon], Luna is still only partially corrupted, so it also fits the theme.

A voice trails the darkness of the forest around them. Clear, yet strange. Deep and crisp. Threatening.. but calm. It reaches out from behind her at first, "You are not unlike him." It changes direction, rippling in from the opposite side if she turned to look at all. "I understand now." If she turned back, she would be greeted by a tall, lean man clad in light armor, and weaponry seated upon his forearms. Respectfully distanced with red eyes focused, "Lady Sona Buvelle." (from shadowxmaster)

"'Him?'" A voice would echo across the expanse of his mind, but not within the distance between their physical forms. Magic, but it should come as no surprise for this individual. An Ionian knows another Ionian. Beyond that, it would seem he knows far more about her than merely her lineage. The way he muses his thoughts aloud is like he's studying her, but for what purpose she couldn't say. For this 'him'? Who was 'him'? Curious yet was the way he prowled about her, shapeless as the shadows seeking to consume her. Poised, Sona remains without a blemish of fear on her features despite knowing the lethality capable of an individual such as this. It's only when the man stands tall and greets her proper does Sona fold her hands before her and offer a courteous nod of acknowledgement. Now, with eyes studying his figure, she feels a tinge of concern well up. These features are reminiscent of rumors she's heard of. And the way he manipulates the shadows...it leaves her curious. Dangerously curious. For a moment her mind flickers to a certain scythe wielder but she quickly brushes it away to focus on the man before her. "A pleasure to be acquainted with you, sir...if you'll pardon my boldness, I would ask if you're the one that's been mentioned to me before," She pauses, brows knitting just gently enough to be noticeable from the distance. There is no hostility in her pinching brow, but the pulling of strings as she pieces together her assumptions. If this was who she thought it was then she ought to be safe. Well, as safe as one can be in the company of assassins. "...are you the Master I have heard of?"

#I'M SO SORRY I'M RUSTY BUT I HOPE IT'S OKAY #;w; #<333 #I know in our mainverse thread #Kayn has lightly mentioned Zed before #and I imagine Sona has heard rumors of individuals like Shen and Zed #Masters of Ionia and all that jazz #but lemme know if I should change it! #figure she'd at least put together that #if he uses shadows so masterfully #and Kayn does and also has spoken of a master #she'd probably wonder if this is him #c:
