Luminous is a Hero Magician released during the MapleStory: Tempest[6] Update.
Luminous is one of the six Heroes who sealed away the Black Mage. Long ago, Luminous was created when the Black Mage awakened as the Transcendent of Light by discarding the light within himself. During the final battle, Luminous inadvertently absorbed a trace of the Black Mage's dark power while sealing him away. Centuries later, Luminous awoke and was found by a girl named Lania. After many happy years, however, the darkness inside Luminous now threatens to consume him. Hoping to find a way to destroy his inner darkness, Luminous goes on a journey that leads him to balance the two forces within himself, as well as to learn the truth behind his origins.
Story
- Main article: Luminous/Story
Luminous was one of the six Heroes who united together to face the Black Mage centuries ago. Created from the light cast aside by the White Mage after awakening as the dark Transcendent of Light, Luminous was raised by the mages of Aurora - the organization founded by the White Mage to research and protect the light. During the battle at the Temple of Time, Luminous was responsible for activating the seal on the Black Mage, inadvertently causing him to absorb a trace of the Black Mage's darkness during their battle. Following the Black Mage's sealing, Luminous was cursed and sealed away in ice.
Centuries later, Luminous was the first to awaken from the curse and traveled to Ellinia, where he met a little girl named Lania. After learning that centuries had passed and the world was at peace, Luminous decided to live with Lania and raised her over many happy years. One day, however, the darkness that Luminous had obtained from the Black Mage manifested and destroyed Lania's home, severely injuring her.[7] In order to overcome his darkness, Luminous worked with Grendel the Really Old in order to enter Harmony, the headquarters of Aurora. There, he met with the spirit of his old friend, Vieren, who used his light magic to stabilize Luminous' inner turmoil, giving him the power to use both light and darkness.
Vieren told Luminous that light and darkness were merely two sides of the same coin, and that Luminous should try making the darkness his own in order to conquer it, despite Luminous' dogmatic protests that the darkness was forbidden. In order to master the darkness, Vieren sent Luminous on a mission to obtain the Auguries, powerful artifacts scattered behind by the masters of Aurora. After finding all the Auguries, Vieren began a ritual that caused the light and darkness inside Luminous to meld into a single equilibrium.
Having conquered his darkness, Luminous returned back to Lania, believing that he was no longer a danger to her. Upon returning, however, he found several of Arkarium's snake minions in the area. Realizing that Lania was not safe, Luminous set out to fortify defenses around her home. In order to protect her, Luminous build a Sentrobo - a robotic guardian of Aurora - and made a deal with the agents of Omega Sector to send an operative near her home. He also constructed a Light Barrier and sent Vieren to remain at her side.
With Lania safe, Luminous began to investigate the Black Mage and followed rumors of a crack in time opening in Ludibrium. Through the crack in time, he traveled back centuries ago and arrived in Ellin Forest, where he met with Guwaru of the past. He learned that Guwaru had been lifted of his corruption by the Black Mage after reforming his body, following Magnus defeating him at the Temple of Time. Guwaru also sensed the Black Mage's energy within Luminous, even beyond the darkness inside him, and wondered whether Luminous and the Black Mage were related in some way, though Luminous refused to believe that he had any relation to such an evil being.
During his training, Luminous was sent to recover the Grand Augury by Vieren. From the Grand Augury, he encountered the voice of the Second Light Master of Aurora, who revealed that Luminous was the Starchild. He explained that Luminous was the light cast out by the Black Mage, which had been reincarnated into a human child by the mages of Aurora with their light magic. This revelation stunned Luminous, who was distraught to learn that he was born from the Black Mage, believing that they were one and the same.
He also learned that his best friend, Lucia, had been raised as a false Starchild so that the Black Mage would kill her instead of Luminous, though the mages of Aurora had used their powers to reincarnate her into a better, safer life in the future. While Luminous reeled from the knowledge, Lania began growing curious by the name ‘Lucia', which seemed familiar to her. Soon after, the Black Mage broke free from his seal and traveled to Ellinia, where he destroyed Lania's home before possessing Lania herself. Luminous rushed back home and fought Lania, driving the darkness out of her in the process. The Black Mage then confronted Luminous and claimed that their final battle would happen later in the future.
Soon after, Luminous was invited to join the Maple Alliance in order to fight against the Black Mage and his Commanders. As the Alliance continued to do battle with the Black Mage's forces, Luminous reunited with the other Heroes in order to face off against Damien and his demon army. Together, the Heroes retraced Freud's footsteps in order to locate the Abyss Crystal on Friends World. After Damien stole the crystal and used it to take Alicia's powers, Luminous and the other Heroes fought and defeated him, restoring Maple World's vitality back to the land.

- ↑ There are two paths for Luminous' story - the light path and the dark path - which the player can choose between in order to determine the course of Luminous’ first job storyline. By picking the light path, Luminous spends several months rebuilding Lania’s home before going on a mission to conquer his darkness. By picking the dark path, Luminous leaves Lania to die and sets out to master his powers. Regardless of which path is chosen, the general events are largely the same. Luminous struggles to overcome his inner darkness, which warps his personality into something evil. If the dark path is chosen, Luminous will use his magic to threaten and intimidate others, while the light path will have him struggle harder to avoid hurting people.
