Bio.

     Lysis was a boy born to Meletius Asteria, a man well-known for his exceptional talent in alchemy and archeology, and a man who carried a kind heart, willing to help anyone who got into trouble. So, it was no surprise that his son, who had the same eyes as him, was a curious lad, disappearing from the sight of his father to go play with puzzles or attempt to solve complicated equations.

     But at the end of the day, Meletius was unable to constantly watch his son while he worked at sites that could pose a danger to him. As his fame skyrocketed, he had been invited by the Interastral Peace Corporation to sign on as an independent contractor, able to hire a team and work with them to uncover lost relics of ancient civilizations across the cosmos. This would require him to leave the planet for extended periods of time, but the pay would allow Lysis to live the rest of his life without struggling.     So, he accepted the offer. But to do that, he needed someone to watch over Lysis while he was gone— and there was one person that he could trust, back in his hometown.     Formerly a reknown professor from the School of Belisarios, and a former classmate of Meletius, Iskender left his job to continue his late mother's legacy as a fisherman and shellfish diver. Not too long into the relationship, Iskender very quickly became Lysis' favourite person. While the man had a tall and large build, he was a kind and gentle soul, taking joy in baking, doing things around the house, and occasionally making plush toys for Lysis to play with. He would teach Lysis things he asked, such as diving when he was of age and the types of marine life around Pelagios, which sparked his love for the sea and fishing. Alongside this, Iskender was proficient with music, and was the one that carved the beloved lyre that Lysis would carry around with him later in life, a gift he'd given to him on his fifteenth birthday.     Lysis' favourite memories with Iskender were when they'd go out by the water at night, sing songs together or point out the different stars in the sky. During those nights, they'd video call Meletius together, who looked exhausted, and was exploring a new planet every time, but always happy to see his son, and missed him dearly.

     Of course, that did not mean Meletius was never home. In fact, he tried to be there for the important events in Lysis' life, and would jump at the opportunity to take long vacation days just so he could go home and wake up to his son and Iskender laughing with each other in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for him while trying to be quiet.     When he and Iskender officially sconfirmed their relationship, Lysis was only six years old, barely in his first year of school but still as curious as ever. The boy was ecstatic, finally able to officially call them both his fathers. It was the happiest day of his life.

    However, when Lysis was twelve, Meletius disappeared.

     Actually, it was more accurate to say that the planet Meletius was on had been consumed by a Stellaron— and blocked the travel and communications between the planet and the IPC. The loss of his father hit Lysis and Iskender hard, as his disappearance had happened only a few days after Lysis' birthday. That was the day when Lysis decided that he would one day walk amongst the stars to find him, because he refused to believe his father had died. While Iskender was worried for his safety, and strongly rejected the thought at first, he gradually gave in to his son's whims, only wishing for him to stay safe and come home frequently.     At sixteen, Lysis began the Endymion Project, a Virtual Reality system that was designed to record nemories, with the intention of helping those leave messages behind in small core devices. It was a pod with an advanced program that would read the user's forgotten memories, and was large enough for even an adult foxian to lay within without any obstruction to their ears and tail.

     When Lysis was eighteen, he began to travel the cosmos in a ship that was built together by Iskender and him, covered in the symbols of his hometown and memoirs of what remained of his father. It was a decently large ship, enough for proper leg room and enough space to install the Endymion pod he'd built, right in the center back of the ship. His wish was that he would be able to preserve his memories while searching for his missing father, armed only with his lyre, a red fish toy Iskender had made for him, and his father's necklace.     During his travels, he would explore planets he encountered, recording his journey of their marine animals and interesting things on a social media page. At night, he would send messages to Iskender before bed, call him, and just tell him all about his travels.     He'd only returned home three times.     Lysis once walked into a territorial war between two neighbouring planets by mistake, causing his ship to become damaged and crash landing on the blue planet. Unable to do much, he wandered around trying to salvage correct parts to repair his ship, so he could escape as quickly as possible. It was during this time he met the Astral Express' current Navigator— Bob a former member of Tarantula, and yet a charming and charismatic man that readily handed out a golden ticket for in case Lysis would need help— to which the latter would keep safe in a small compartmet of his lyre.

     With the help of the Nameless, the conflict between the planets ended, entering an era of peace for their galaxy. As for Lysis, he stayed on the Express while his ship was being repaired and joined them for a few adventures on the path of the Trailblaze. He explored even more amazing galaxies, but missed his father back at home, and resolved to go home when the Expressed entered a nearby galaxy that was close enough for him to return by ship. So, he bid farewell to his second family, and departed from the Express preparing to give up his last journey.

     However, during this time, Lysis' ship was accidentally swallowed up by a glowing fragment, thtowing his ship into turbulence. When he opened his eyes again, he realized he was far away from home and the Express, and was staring up at a beautiful, infinity symbol.     Amphoreus. A place off the record of any travel log. A place he couldn't enter physically without potential harm to his ship.

     Curiosity was always his weakness.

     So, he reworked the Endymion pod— ejected a part of his ████ into the world beyond those lights, over and over and over again, until ████ ███████ ████ █████ ███ █████ ███ █████ ██.

     Lysis does not remember what happened to him, only eyes opening to golden hair and jewel-like eyes. For the first few weeks, he didn't even remember his name. In history, he was a beautiful child of God, sleeping within a glass chamber, who was worshipped by the people as a deity of the sea. On Panacea, his sleeping body remained for almost an entire Amber era or even more... as said by a certain Qilin, who was already two-thousand years old. It was hard to determine when he had crashlanded on this planet, but by the time he was discovered, civilization had changed, and his pod, frozen by a strange reflective crystal, preserved his body until he was found.

     He'd been cuddled up with his favourite red plush, head cushioned by a soft pillow. Perhaps he was resting before he'd been found, or perhaps he had determined he would die, and rested within the pod as a last resort? Nobody would know, and the pod did not record those particular memories at all. In fact, the pod's database was empty of memories.

     How peculiar. The only thing that was missing was his lyre.
