Lan is one of the three Nomads. He was born in the Empire of the East, but after his father escaped the war traveling to the West, he ended in the Lesser Kingdom.

## Background

Lan's father was a construction worker in the capital of the Empire of the East, he raised Lan by himself as much as he could. When the conflict ignited between the Empire and the Lesser Kingdom, one of the attacks impacted the population so he was forced to escape alongside other refugees. After arriving to the camp, a raid forced him to become a soldier, leaving his son behind. Time passed and after assuming the man died while in service, the camp gave the kid to the Kingdom's Orphanage.

These traumatic experiences made the kid develop a degree of mutism. The tough times product of the war made the kids have to learn to take care of themselves as much as they could, so Lan grew lonely but very independent. As some years went by, the war on the frontier stopped when the White prince ascended to the throne, so the conditions the citizens had to live on started improving.

One day, a girl arrived to the orphanage, and even though this wasn't by any means rare, the fancy clothes and her shyness made her an easy target. Feeling bad for her, Lan started protecting her as he could.

## Personality

As described by Uni, Lan is someone strong and caring. He would say about himself that he's just an observing person, no more, no less. Due to his mutism, he is not someone easily approachable, but by no means he is not easy going once a person earns his trust. He is someone extremely loyal and caring with those considered close to him, going to great lenghts or even risking himself to protect them. He is aware his magic makes him phisically stronger and more resistant than others, so this encourages his protective attitude. Likes simple things and due to being raised in a tough environment, is grateful of the simple pleasures of life.

## Appearance

Lan is a young man, with dirty blonde hair. Has a short messy cut due to the basic caring of the orphanage. Has a well-built figure and medium to tall height. Wears a plain white shirt and a black undershirt, he is almost always carrying his backpack in his right shoulder. His eyes are light brown and has eyebrows of the same tone. Some people have noticed that from his features one could say he doesn't get enough rest. He tends to wear a serious expression, not smiling often or showing many emotions. Due to using his abilities to sort numerous dangers, sometimes Lan can be seen using bandages on his arms and face.

After reaching the age when his magic manifested, his eyes turned slightly lighter and four light brown markings appeared in his knucles, somehow emphasizing the concentration of magic in this part of the body. After starting to use his magic in physical combat, he started wearing fingerless leather gloves.

## Abilities

Before getting his magic, he was already skilled enough to take care of himself, so he was the best fitted to survive on his own after escaping the country orphanage. He is very good at basic tasks like cooking and cleaning due to being basically by himself from a very young age. Is very perceptive of his surroundings, being specially aware of what could be dangerous, and is unknown if these enhanced senses are product of his magic or if it developed on its own.

### Magic

His magic centers on amplifying his phisical skills, making him stronger and with a higher stamina. Also he is more resistant to other magic, no matter if ally or enemy, which makes him more difficult to hurt but also harder to heal or assist through magic methods.

## Trivia

* He isn't too fond of any personal items, except from one, an empty lighter he has from his father.
