Strafe Luxalea

Strafe Luxalea, birth name Strafe Theristan, is the central character of Light Strafer. He is a reimagined version of the original character by JesseRoo.
==Appearance==
Strafe is of rather short height with notably pale skin, faded blue hair and gold eyes. He wears a sleeveless brown jacket with a short-sleeved orange shirt beneath and a teal half-jacket over the top, along with purple shorts, with orange colour on the inside of the legs, an orange waistband and a darker purple at the ends of the legs. His footwear consists of teal shoes with orange soles, along with brown socks, while his hands are outfitted with teal gloves with purple bands towards the wrists.
==Personality==
Strafe generally keeps a casual, rebellious persona, often disobeying commands to prove his independence - this mindset mostly stems from his harsh childhood and the challenging life he had led since then. He often acts carefree in order to mask his traumatic past, and is prone to cracking jokes frequently. While Strafe often seems to not show concern for the problems around him, he always shows extremely high commitment and determination when he finds a course he's willing to fight for.
==Abilities==
===Light Manipulation===
An ability inherited from Stemmara, Strafe is capable of creating light around him and manipulating its shape, movement and brightness. His main use for light is as a weapon, as by hardening the light (another offshoot of the ability) he can turn it into a razor-sharp, metal-like golden substance. As such, he has no need for ammunition when wielding firearms, as he can merely shape the light into bullets on the inside of the gun and fire them out straight away.
As the events of Light Strafer go on, Strafe continues experimenting with his light powers in new ways, unlocking new abilities such as sprinting through the air for short distances, teleportation and immobilising threats, as well as new types of light bullets such as homing, explosive and ricocheting shots.
===Firearm Usage===
Strafe has heavy experience in wielding firearms, and with his ability to create bullets out of light he is able to carry infinite ammunition. His initial weapon in Light Strafer is the Desert Eagle, an unspecialised gun that is well-suited for handling his various light attacks. Later on, he has a second Desert Eagle made for him by Jeremy Coarson, allowing him to focus on multiple targets at once.
As the story progresses, Strafe acquires additional weapons that can alter the properties of his light bullets. These include the Winter Eagle that can fire "ice light", the Red Phoenix that can fire "heated light", and the Poseidon Pulser that can blast water.
==Story==
Strafe was born to a human father, Lock Theristan, and mother Micaylie, who was actually the White Goddess Stemmara taking a human form. He lead a standard childhood, though from a very early age he showed the ability to manipulate light, a power that his father showed a distain for, for reasons he never explained. When Strafe was ten years old, he caught Lock murdering Micaylie, and ran from home at that moment.
Strafe soon came across a few members of the Thieves' Guild, who he followed to find their guild. It was there that he met Ida, the leader of the guild, who took him in as her own child. From there, he was raised in the arts of thievery and assassination.
Eleven years later, Strafe is sent on a mission to steal a signet ring from the house of Sear, a rich aristocrat of the city. However, he sees his own father conspiring with Sear, apparently planning to eradicate the Thieves' Guild. Strafe brings the news back to Ida, and following this a series of battles begins between Sear's forces and the thieves.
After a series of sabotage missions, Strafe and Ida manage to break past Sear's defences and take him out. The attack is a success, though towards the end of his escape Strafe is shot down by Lock. Ida tries to defend him but is similarly struck down, although she manages to send an order for backup that forces Lock to escape using his dark arts.
Strafe is secretly brought by the thieves out into the Crescent Sands, where he meets the young mechanic Jeremy Coarson. More TBA
