Kun Anwyn

**Kun** is the half elf guardian of the party in The Lost Island. He is portrayed by Joshscorcher.

## Appearance

Kun has long black hair and pointed ears. He wears black robes with red and gold trim. He also has white eyes that can turn red at a moment's notice. When he turns on his dark aura, his entire body is encased in a black mist that obscures his opponents' vision of him. The only thing that can be seen in the mist are his red eyes.

## Personality

Kun has a very cold demeanor hiding a caring side. He despises the prejudice against the Red Tigers but can hold it in for a while. He doesn't like drinking before a job, nor does he like to talk about himself much unless absolutely necessary or for professional purposes. He is a little obsessive - more like a lot obsessive - when he has "imprinted" on his charge, in this case Claus. Kun has a tendency to hone in on the one he deems "weakest", and will gladly be nearly shish-kebabed if the weakest one is safe. He's also known to be very honest, especially towards his king.

## Early Life

Kun grew up an orphan and worked as a mercenary for the Blood Stripes. The blood stripes were assimilated into the Red Tiger military and soon disbanded.

## Abilities

Kun wields a spear. He is also able to weaken enemies gradually via bleed damage and perform feints using his experience and instinct to find holes in the enemy defenses.

His signature mode of defense is an aura of darkness, where his body is engulfed in black mist and his eyes glow red. This dark aura often causes enemies to miss due to lack of visibility. He can also heal his own injuries with enough focus as well as provoke enemies into attacking only him.

## Relationships

### Claus

Kun decided to protect Claus upon learning the teifling is a pacifist (also smol). Claus jokingly commented "I forgot what it was like to have a father" once Kun took up a parental role, almost mother henning the tiefling into submission. Although he was at first rather terrified of The Hellhound's stoic demeanor, Claus quickly took liking to the mercenary despite their opposing factions. Now, wherever Claus goes, Kun follows unless directly ordered not to.

### Korim

Korim and Kun have heard of each other, being respected and well-known warriors, and as such have respect for each others talents as fighters. Korim and Kun also have an understanding when it comes to Claus: "protect the smol" is the rough translation. They seem to agree in most cases, and are similar in their loyalties to their rulers.

### Vell Ambrose

Kun was right away on guard with Vell, especially when Claus was willing to help her by allowing her to possess him. Hpwever, as time marched on, Kun seemed to develop an understanding and respect for the ghost, especially for her illusionary powers. Vell has used her abilities several times to enhance his dark aura abilities, making him nearly impossible to hit, and in turn he keeps her "house" (Claus) safe. Their shared affection for the little tiefling seems to be their main bonding point, but Vell will possess Kun even if Claus is nearby if the situation calls for it. He is the second most comfortable for her to inhabit.

### Ria Ambrose

Ria and Kun did not get along at all, both being downright antagonistic at each other due to their opposing factions, and Ria's own trauma relating to the Red Tigers. They managed to put their differences to the side to stop Archer, and have seemed to mellow out now that Vell has admonished them into behaving.

### Whisper

Kun did not trust Whisper after he stole Kun's money, but that mistrust soon grew into the spark of a competitive streak. While the competition seems to be one-sided with only Kun keeping score, their shared Red Tiger heritage has kept them in check.

## Trivia

* Josh Scorcher has stated in writing (read by Dogi in his speedpaint of Kun) that Kun was based on Cŵn Annwn hellhounds from Welsh mythos, which explains the name and the hellhound motif.
* Kun's player and Whisper's player, Jeremy, are real-life brothers. Kind of funny how the two real-life brothers aren't portraying the in-game brothers. It is also humorous that Kun and Whisper have such a (one-sided) heated rivalry while Josh and Jeremy are best friends in real life.
