INFORMATION Characters Name: Luc Age: 12 Canon: Suikoden Canon Point: Shortly before invading Soniere Prison Species: Human (clone) Gender: Male
History:Wiki Appearance:Picture! Personality: Luc is a reserved, self-contained person, having spent a majority of his life in near-isolation. This isolation in his early years meant that instances of outside influence were few and far between; after being taken in by the seer Leknaat, the only people he ever saw can be assumed to have been mostly officials of the Scarlet Moon Empire, on visits to receive her yearly predictions. His snobbish and arrogant manner was, therefore, acquired from the snobbish and arrogant officials he was occasionally able to meet. The lack of variety or frequency to these visits, though, left him largely lacking in social skills, and as such he is thought of as irritatingly rude by most people who have spoken to him. The boy does have manners, as is evidenced by the way he treats his teacher, but this politeness is rarely exhibited towards anyone that isn't her; when it is, it's likely to be in a sarcastic or begrudging manner.
When at home with Leknaat, Luc was actually quite talkative, saying what he wanted whenever he felt like it. This talkativeness dwindled away over the course of the war, as he was overwhelmed by the strange new environment, the large number of people he was now surrounded by, and the seriousness of the overall situation. So, after having been so cheerfuly rude and wordy when the hero McDohl first met him, he became a withdrawn and quiet person, keeping to himself and speaking up more rarely. His only lines after joining the army are short one-liners like "What do you want?" or "This is my fate."
Despite the cold demeanor he tries to put up, Luc really does care about what goes on around him. In Suikoden 2, he jokes about Nanami's fear of ghosts, he willingly helps Riou run away, he tones down the rudeness after Nanami dies. Years later, after the Dunan war, he takes it upon himself to save a young girl from Harmonia; having himself been mistreated by that country as a child, he empathized with her. During their final moments in the manga, they reminisce over various instances of his having comforted her or taken the blame for her mistakes. This doesn't mean that he wasn't still a little cold, though - when he sees Harmonian troops (led by his brother) in the Dunan war, he single-handedly wipes them all out before immediately leaving the battlefield, a statement of scorn more than an offer to help his own team.
Luc is, finally, a very determined person. One might even say stubborn. When he's given an important task, no matter how much he complains he won't give up until it's finished. This can have its good and bad points, as evidenced by his later plot to destroy his rune (and himself in the process) 'for the sake of humanity.' This plan ultimately falls through, and in fact starts falling apart a good time before the end, but he refuses to give up until he is finally forced to admit defeat through death. Admittedly at the age of 12 none of that plotting has happened yet, but the determination is still there. It's a combination of stubbornness and loyalty, really; not wanting to disappoint Leknaat, trained to follow things like destiny and fate, and maybe also because he grew to care just a little about the other people in the army, he stayed, through thick and thin, until the very end of the war. Abilities: Luc is the bearer of the True Wind Rune, which contains the most powerful wind magic in the Suikoden world. According to mythology, all other wind-related runes are descended from it. Spells include:
- The Shredding: Damages all enemies - Funeral Wind: Stronger damage to one enemy, chance of instant death - Shining Wind: Even stronger damage to all enemies. heals allies a good amount - Eternal Wind: Extreme damage to all enemies
In-game he's always equipped with an average wind rune though, so I'm assuming True Wind is capable of all levels. He prefers to stick to the weaker spells associated with an average wind rune, which are Wind of Sleep (self-explanatory), Healing Wind (completely heals/cures one ally), The Shredding (a little stronger than the True Wind Rune's Funeral Wind), and Storm Warning (single-use 100% effective magic repel). Less power overall, but a lot more useful.
Aside from that he's pretty fast, though this might also be partly wind rune-related. He's also good at housework. Other: N/A
SAMPLES First Person: ...Hello? [Luc frowns at the camera shortly after saying this, then looks around--in case someone caught him talking to an inanimate object, ugh that'd be embarrassing. He doesn't seem to see anyone, though he does look kind of worried. Maybe because he's lost?
After a moment of nervous silence, he turns back to the phone and attempts poking at the buttons some more.]
futch.is an idiot
[....Maybe that wasn't the best thing to write. But how to delete.... What follows is some symbols and blank spaces aaand he frustratedly pockets the thing. You might still be able to catch him muttering to himself though - he didn't turn it off.]
Who needs whatever that stupid thing is anyway, I bet it's not even useful.
Third Person: Luc was used to being in places he didn't want to be. Like that stupid fortress in the middle of the lake, or...or Harmonia, he supposed. Usually he knew how he'd gotten there though, and the pile of papers he'd woken up with wasn't much helping in that regard. He'd read it all very thoroughly - it was a better option than entering a strange house or wandering off aimlessly, he'd thought. Especially when he couldn't sense True Wind, for some reason...he felt strangely empty, in that way people do when something they're used to feeling has disappeared suddenly and without warning. Like something was missing. Which it was. And that feeling made him feel helpless in turn, he'd had it since before he could remember and now it was missing and--
He threw the papers in a sudden fit of frustration, watching as they danced wildly in the air for those scant few second of flight, before getting up and brushing himself off. Okay. Fine. So what if he was in some strange unknown place and his rune was missing and he was being told he lived here? That didn't mean anything. He'd just walk right out of this town, maybe find a map somewhere, and when he got back to Lady Leknaat everything would be right again. Maybe he could even skip out on the rest of the war--no, she'd probably send him back again, with or without True Wind, it was part of his fate.
....Either way, it'd be better than wherever this was. With that thought, and an incredibly put-upon sigh, Luc began his grand adventure, walking down the streets of Holly Heights.
