Lux

**Lux** is the main character of Scarlet Shadow. A lone swordsman at first, trained by the Keruby Irid and interested only in defeating the Ether Animus and obtain his revenge for the death of his best friend, Gelya. During his journey, he meets and becomes friends with many characters, abandoning his initial purpose of revenge, opening up to others and becoming stronger. He's usually quite the nice guy, who only talks when necessary, but often teases Lumi and jokes with her. He's also a very loyal person, as once he makes a commitment he hardly holds back.

## Story

### Before Scarlet Shadow

Lux was born in Hygora 19 years before the beginning of Scarlet Shadow. His father was a swordplay teacher and a member of the Ether Animus, though Lux didn't know at the time. No information is given about his mother.

Before the tragedy of Hygora, he lived there with his father and frequented Hygora Academy. He had a best friend, Gelya, who met for the first time on the Tower of Hygora, and since then they spent a lot of time together. However, everything changed after the Black Keruby Darkrius caused the Tragedy of Hygora. Gelya's house was destroyed. After this event, he was recruited by the Keruby Irid, who promised him he would avenge his friend. With a specific training, Lux managed to strengthen his body and also improved his magic abilities.

## Profile

**SPOILER WARNING: *Spoiler details may follow.***
### Appearance

Lux is a 19-year-old young man with black hair and equally black eyes. He is approximately 1.75 tall, has a toned body and scattered hair. He almost always wears a predominantly black jumpsuit with white parts, along with black boots and gray gloves with holes in the back of his hand.

### Personality

At first, Lux may seem a a detached boy, whose only goal is to finish his mission whatever it takes, and who has no time to think about fun or other distractions. However, despite having often traveled alone, he prefers to have someone close with whom to converse and share experiences: in fact, he is disappointed when Irid's spirits don't answer him, as soon as he enters the first Ether Structure, and willingly accepts Lumi's whims. In fact, in this detached guise, Lux is a person who cares for others, and enjoys other people's company. He doesn't hesitate to help people in need even if it won't bring him any advantage.

### Abilities

Before the tragedy of Hygora, Lux was a student at Hygora Academy. He was an above-average swordsman, but not an excellent one, and his father never encouraged him. Even his magic abilities where considerably low: even though his magical element was light, one of the rarest element among humans, its magic was not strong enough to be used in combat. However, this situation changed after the Hygora tragedy and after starting Irid's training. Training with Irid greatly enhanced Lux's magical abilities, although Lux would not prefer to use magic in combat later on. In fact, Lux prefers to unleash fast and powerful sword attacks, quickly changing targets and adapting to the situation as best she can. Lux's abilities also allow him to use magic from his sword, as shown in the technique Light Beam. At the end of the training, Lux has arguably become one of the best warriors in the world, also being able to stand up to the Kerubies.

An ability of Lux still steeped in mystery is his ability to transform, as shown in the battle against Aghailt. Even the figure who lent him the power still seems to be unknown.

## Gameplay

Lux is a balanced character, with high HP and physical stats. He can use both physical and magic attacks, making him very versatile in battle. He is the only character to have two passive abilities, as all the other character have only one passive ability.

### Techniques

Light Enhancement and Thriple Slice have been added in the 0.5.7 version.
