## Lugh

**Fuujin Tenno Lugh Flugel** (pronounced: *Lú)* is an ambitious man with penchant for swordsmanship and fine arts. He had realized his powers and had accepted what he became of now, though there's still lingering anxieties of what is to be his fate in this eternity. He strives to go as high up as his ambition and motivation will bring him as he carry Yamato and her people on his shoulders as its Tenno without his people knowing who he is. He is the storm that is approaching. Played by Weeb.

## History

Lugh is an ambitious man born to lower nobility of a backwater land somewhere in Myandra. He was taken in as a page by a Catanian Ambassador after Lugh accidentally activated a Waystone in the Ambassador's abode.

Certainly a chance he gladly took as it might elevate his and his family's station. The ambassador certainly trained and exposed him to the Catanian culture. From philosophies to combat arts. But he still managed to retain some of his old ways. This is exemplified by the obsidian split-edged sword he still holds and wields, his family's heirloom.

His apprenticeship has come to an end once the ambassador was recalled back to their homeland. Lugh is now finally given the chance to make a name for himself, for his and his family's prestige sake. And nothing will get in his way to his goal, no matter what, now only with his very own powers. He swears he will gain power to cure his and his sister's curse.

Upon realizing he had hit a dead end and there are no opportunities for him in his homeland any longer, he had left Myandra; and his heritage and inheritance, for good.

His new life as Knight of Catania under Duke Marcus Acturius's wings had led to opportunities to prove himself an asset to the kingdom landed him a position as a Baronet just a few months in working as a Knight. He had also found the cure for his and his sister's curse in the middle of it.

Paying what he owes to now Imperator Marcus Acturius of the Helios Imperium, he served the Imperium as one of its key legates, taking on the charge of enforcing law and order upon its territories, all the while handling his own personal life. His powers fortunately allow him to be in a lot of places in a day.

Eventually, he retired from his Legateship to set off on his own, founding the City-State of Yamato in the island west of Phados. He was backed by the Imperator as reward for his service.

## Appearance

Lugh is a fair skinned gray-haired man with slightly angelic features. His hair had lengthened and is tied back with a ribbon. The red streak on his hair seems to shine like ruby and his eyes are blue as sapphire.

He's built lean and lithe, and at average height.

His choice of clothes fit of those his station with gaudy crimsons and golden linings, contrasting the dark colors he wears.

When under the influence of his bloodline powers, his eyes become as red as ruby. His arms had also started taking on a new form, becoming a bundle of fibrous sinew and flesh bunched up together in a shape on an arm. It unravels and bursts out of his sleeves whenever the bloodline powers take over, making his aberrant nature more apparent.

## Personality

Lugh carry himself with an air of nobility, an obvious carryover from his patrician background. He does have a lot to learn still about the world, but that wouldn't stop him from his goal.

True to his fighting form, he acts swift and resolute once a problem makes itself known to him, sometimes to his peers' chagrin.

He's brave, committed, cunning, and serious. Though he do like doing things over the top and is very vain. He's power-hungry and is easy to manipulate at that front.
