IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Lon’qu Age: unknown, best guess is early 20’s Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening Canon Point: After defeating Gangrel and the several month gap of relative peace, but before any of the kids are met. Species: human Gender: male Orientation:Other than a deep adoration for his mentor Basilio, Lon’qu is 100% straight. That said, he has an aversion to women, born more from trauma than actual dislike. History:here Appearance:here!!
Personality: Lon’qu is a man of few words. While he’s given more to dueling than discussion with anyone, he’s especially withdrawn towards women. This sort of phobia stemmed from a traumatic experience in his childhood that made him afraid of becoming close with another woman because of the death of his close friend Ke’ri when he was unable to protect her. The reasoning seems to be somewhat subconscious, as it manifests as an aversion to physical contact or proximity of any kind with females. While it is lessened somewhat in most of his female supports, generally whichever woman he marries is the exception to the rule. In general, Lon’qu is cold and blunt when spoken to, and oddly nonchalant about his profession, repeatedly referring to what he does as “stabbing people” with a straight face. Likely this is due to him having been familiar with the sword for a long time. From growing up as a scrappy youth in the slums to being Khan Basilio’s champion in the annual contest, Lon’qu has been a warrior almost his whole life. While his nature is generally deadly serious, he can be surprisingly pliant in certain situations. Despite being initially resistant, he agrees to play with Nowi in his support, and in fact continues to play “house” with her despite claiming to not enjoy it. Deep down, he does have a bit of a childish side, likely due to not having much of a normal childhood himself. When he plays with Nowi, he actually seems to get rather into it, not just playing along to make her happy. He also seems to regard Basilio very highly, seeing him as a role model and a goal to strive towards. This is underscored in his support with Gregor, as is the fact that Lon’qu is comparatively quite young and inexperienced. Upon learning that Gregor once matched blades with Basilio, he demands a duel , and when turned down, accuses Gregor of being a coward. Essentially it was the usual child’s counter, “what are you, chicken!?” in fancier words. In times like this, he gets incredibly stubborn and determined. Continuing with Gregor, the mercenary says he won’t fight anyone unless he’s being paid, Lon’qu comes back and pays him to give him the duel he wants. When Gregor exploits a loophole in the rules, Lon’qu gets upset and complains it was unfair. Again, a common argument with children. This isn’t usually particularly overt, though. Lon’qu’s normally serious demeanor usually disguises the fact that he is still a young man, probably still in his early 20s. He isn’t nearly as cold as he tries to make it seem, either. He gets nervous and embarrassed when he likes someone, claiming he doesn’t really know how to handle situations like that. Despite that claim, he can be rather dashing when he tries to be. Once he works up the courage to do something, he’ll see it thought to the end. Abilities: Given that he was Basilio’s champion for quite a long time, it’s plain that he’s a very accomplished swordsman. He is also noted as being the “deftest potato peeler,” so he’s as good with a knife as he is with a sword. Other: Lon’qu seems to be rather fond of bugs! Lissa teases him once about spending an entire afternoon catching butterflies, and affectionately equates stag beetles to “tiny swordsmen with twin blades.”
SAMPLES First Person:sample! Third Person: Without regular battles at hand for him to whet his blade in, Lon’qu felt it was more important than ever to keep up a steady training routine. Despite the seemingly completely peaceful setting he now found himself in, he couldn’t stand the thought of letting himself get rusty. He needed to get better, not worse, after all. He had heights to aspire to, and he certainly wasn’t going to reach them by slacking off. So he persisted, despite not even having a proper blade at hand to use, much to his consternation. Sure, he would use wooden practice swords often back home when he was just working on his form, but there was a difference between using a fake sword and a real one. The weight was off, and swinging around a piece of wood just felt different. It wasn’t a fitting substitute when he wanted to practice fighting seriously.
On top of that, of course, there was the heat. It was the height of summer, and though his homeland had been warm, he’d long since become accustomed to the cold constantly wintery climate of Regna Ferox. It made the summer heat here almost unbearable, even after removing his tunic. But of course, it was just another challenge for him to overcome! That’s what he told himself, anyway. Really, though, it was more and more distracting the longer he persisted with his training. He finally let himself pause for a moment, wiping the sweat from his brow. He glanced at his surroundings, the backyard of his assigned “house.” The greenery and flowers were similarly an odd sight for him. There was some vegetation at home, but none as orderly bright as this. What really caught his attention, though, was a flit of movement and the buzz of wings. Finally he spotted it when it landed on a large rose. A dragonfly, iridescent green with stripes on its wings. It was a lovely specimen. He watched, transfixed, as the creature flitted around the yard, before landing again on the top of his sword. He felt as if it stopped to look up at him before taking off again and zooming out of his view entirely. As if coming out of a trance, Lon’qu realized that he’d spent a good five minutes watching the bug. Well, that’s certainly enough of that! He hastens to return to his training, hoping no one had spotted him being so horribly distracted. OTHER Housing Request?: nope! Did you read the rules and FAQ?:yes!
