Luins

Luins is a former soldier and now musician from The Isles who plays a zither Acriell. He is a member of the Grand Musical, and is a central leading figure in the artists' protest at Cristoban Theater.

## History

Luins was born in The Isles, and like all others became a member of the army at a young age to fulfill his mandatory service. Despite being a relatively competent soldier, he never enjoyed fighting, and was unprepared to face the horrors of extended warfare.

Sent to the Crucible Stea to help Avalon deal with the North Sea Raiders in the area, the danger and death surrounding him on a daily basis convinced Luins to become a deserter. Escaping by boat, he traveled south and eventually reached Genkov.

With the only skill he had outside of battle being a small amount of experience he had playing the Zither as a child, he became a traveling musician, performing on the streets for coin. Following a rough start, he was able to build up his skill until he became competent enough to catch the attention of.a member of the Krystein Family, who offered him a position as a servant and also taught him the art of using the Acriell for combat.

Though only a servant, his relation with with Krysteins was relatively good, and he even became close friends with a number of individuals, both servants and members of the royal house, one of whom was Anica. Initially intending to serve the family until death, the Priyankian War would see the fall of the Krystein Family, and Luins would be forced to leave Genkov, this time accompanied by Anica. The two eventually decided to travel to Pandeli, where they joined the Grand Musical.

## Personality

### Fashionable

A juggler does not simply juggle, but rather charms the audience through a mix of skill and personality. In the same way, a musician cannot capture the audience with just music alone. His outfit, mannerisms, and grace all contribute to his performance. Luins pays very close attention to his own outfit and mannerisms for this reason.

### Daydreamer

Luins practices a particularly unique variant of the Acriell. Infused with magic, he is able to use the instrument as a medium to turn ideas into physical reality. Doing so often requires a vivid imagination that is able to comprehensively understand the idea being brought forward.

Luins easily gets lost in his own thoughts, and often has no trouble bringing forth his own emotions through his instrument. However, what he can play is often limited directly to his emotional state at that time. If he is angry or excited, he will have a lot of trouble playing a calming piece.

### Noble

The Isles breeds two types of individuals, those born for war and those who escaped it. Luins is part of the latter, and possesses a strong moral compass. Although far from idealistic, he does wish the best for those around him, and will often not hesitate to spend time helping another.

### Resentful

No matter how much he would otherwise wish to forget it, Luins' past was that of a soldier, and he was never quite able to get past his us vs them mentality. Though he is relatively easy to get along with, it is extremely difficult to get back on his good side upon angering him. His decisions are often based heavily on which side he can take such that he will be opposing those he holds grudges against.
