Current Status and History

Currently, Luca (that's Megrez's civilian name) works as a bartender for the Golden Egg bar in Celeste City. At 16, she was awoken as a "Cosmonarch" (her universe's local flavor of magical girl/guy) and told that she was to engage in battle with the Chaonites, a faction of powered people powered by a dark force. Looking for something interesting in her life, she dove into the "Cosmo life," attacking Chaonites and the monsters they unleashed on the city.

While she was there, Megrez began to see visions of a previous Cosmonarch of Megrez. This predecessor was kind, gentle, forgiving... and a vigilante enforcer of the law. She personally assassinated a great many enemies, and this trend continued until she discovered that her lover was working as a spy for an enemy faction. She roughed him up, but when all was said and done, she forgave him and offered him a chance to stay with her if he cut ties with his faction. He did, and the story seemed to be a happily ever after. Seeing the predecessor's capacity for redemption inspired Megrez to attempt redemption for herself. In order to repair herself, she was going to have to show some mercy.

When she returned to Earth, she started her road to redemption by apologizing to the people she had blown up at before and taking a more diplomatic stand on Chaonites. Talking first instead of fighting earned her a lot of interesting information and new perspectives, and slowly, her bad reputation faded out of the spotlight.

Time went on. Megrez took a hiatus from the powered life when she went into college, occasionally powering up when word of big events reached her. Things were quiet for her for a while. Once she graduated, however, she felt distinctly aimless. She wasn't sure how to apply her degree, and the powered life couldn't really sustain her. Fortune turned for her when she was invited to work at the Golden Egg, and now she spends her days interacting with clients, mixing drinks, and powering up to patrol on her days off.
