belluinemisanthropeMuse of Heart - Wields Axekind - 13 years 'old' (Permanently Dead)
STORY:
Phecda is a strange case in the world of AUs; by all rights and purposes, he could be considered an AU version of Vector himself, but it would be more accurate to call him an 'OC' with his face. This is due to the fact that his AU in question works on the logic and worldbuilding rules that Homestuck does for the most part. To that end, Vector and his past counterpart-as well as the other Barians-are entirely different people, albeit linked genetically through Ectobiology.
In that sense, in the world where the Barians (and Astral, interestingly) successfully 'won' their game only to flee into Yuuma's Universe, Phecda represents those of the 'Beta' version of that universe, the Past Lives who instead existed ahead of time from their Barian Counterparts. Where in the successful world he would become a maddened Prince, driven to destruction, Phecda is himself quite free of that particular trait.
His session of 'Sburb', unfortunately, was not. Phecda's world was one with two moons and two ancient warring 'gods', one which would die and one which would join him in his own session as the world was destroyed. Until that time, from birth to the day he turned 13, Phecda lived alone on an island filled with monsters and a single deadly force trying to kill him-he connected with friends online that he found entirely by 'accident', friends who barely believed his tales of survival, but nonetheless tried to help him in their own way. He came to use Axekind while living this way, gaining proficiency in many crafting skills and learning as much as he could from the temple beneath the waters near his home as well. As rude as he was, he was someone who at the end had fairly good intentions-especially as someone who lives in the shadow of the Barian 'Vector', who in his universe became known as a god of destruction, and war.
Good intentions often fail, however. Phecda would begin the SBurb session and unintentionally bring about the end of the world-worse, it seemed that for every action he made, a negative reaction in the game would come. One of the others would die, another would go mad-it all had to do with 'Don Thousand', the eighth player in their session. In the end, it would come down to Phecda reaching the God Tier as the 'Muse of Heart' to bring things to an end. He would lead his session partners in battle against Don Thousand, sealing him far in the furthest ring while dooming their own run at the game.
It would be for this reason that he, while they reset the universe from the Beat Mesa, would slaughter all of those he knew. It would allow them to exist continuously in the Dream Bubbles, and as such, help Yuuma and the players of his own session when they came through them. His help in turn would move from gathering an army to face the reviving Don Thousand, to losing his life buying time for Yuuma to escape from the Furthest Ring into the Astral World of the Barian's dimension...
...But it would be worth it, he told himself. Even if there would be no one to know whether his death was Heroic, or Justified.
