Hong Lu

"Ah.. no way!"*Uh oh! We're missing things in this article. Gregor would be glad if you would help and add the missing information!*

**A sinner who had lived an affluent life before becoming our company's asset. As such, he has a certain admiration for a free life; but occasionally, he may make ignorant and unsavory questions in regards to the food cooked by a certain other sinner or other aspects of the low-lives' lowly culture. This can cause much irritation for the other sinners. However, it is important to note that no sarcastic undertones are contained in his curiosity-driven inquiries, so it is ill-advised to let them get physical over it.**

 「美中不足、 好事多**魔**。」
 *「Jade has its flaws, and life its **vicissitudes**.」[1]*

**Hong Lu** (*Chinese*: 鸿璐, *Hóng Lù*; *Hangul*: 홍루, *Hong Ru*) is **Sinner #6** of the twelve playable Sinners and an employee of the LCB department of Limbus Company.

## **Appearance**

Hong Lu is of average height and build. He has quite the pale complexion that contrasts with his deep purple hair. This hair is very long, and tied into a high ponytail with a cyan hair tie. Notably, he has heterochromia in his eyes: his right eye is a deep shade of purple, almost black, and his left eye is a bright cyan.

His clothing consists of a white long-sleeved dress shirt, mostly covered by a black, low-cut waistcoat tucked into his black belt. Tucked beneath this waistcoat is a red tie. Atop all this, Hong Lu wears a long black coat that reaches just above his ankles. The long sleeves of this coat have accents of red at the end of each sleeve. Inside of this coat, there seems to be a red color. This coat has his Sinner number on his left, and a metal pin inscribed with writing on his right. Finally, he wears long black pants and shoes of the same color.

## **Personality**

Hong Lu, unlike the other Sinners of Limbus Company, exhibits a potent, almost childlike curiosity and wonder with anything regarding the City, its inhabitants and ways of life. From this behavior, it is implied that Hong Lu had once lived a sheltered lifestyle until his employment with Limbus Company. However, this does not imply a difficulty-free life, as Hong Lu's family constantly sought opportunities to betray each other and he was forced to undertake intense physical training by them.

To further this conclusion, Hong Lu seems to lack any sort of inherent social tact when it comes to his questions or comments when introduced to anything while traversing the City. As such, his attitude on most missions heavily clashes with the City-hardened Sinners, but Hong Lu either disregards their words or is too oblivious to be hurt emotionally or mentally, at least outwardly.

However, as of Canto IV: The Unchanging, Hong Lu harbours a unique emotional intelligence not yet seen until the final story events of Canto IV. This is shown through his portrayal of Young-ji, who Yi Sang comments was the most gentle and heartfelt of the League in their heyday, and his observations of Yi Sang's mental state and growth throughout his Dungeon as the Sinners view Yi Sang's life before Limbus Company.

Hong Lu goes as far to state: "I'm thinking that he may have been calling for help all along."

## **Weapon**

Hong Lu wields the long guandao "太虛幻境" (pinyin: tài xū huàn jìng; lit. 'Illusory Land of Great Void'), often one handed, on his right hand. The glaive appears unnatural, with one side having a 3/4 cut circle and rimmed with rings across the portion after the cut hole.

* As Kurokumo Clan Wakashu Hong Lu, he wields a katana.
* As Tingtang Gang Gangleader Hong Lu, he wields a modified karambit, similar to Tingtang Boss.
* As Liu Assoc. South Section 5 Hong Lu, he wears lightly-armored gauntlets that spew fire and specializes in martial arts.
* As K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff Hong Lu, he wields a K Corp. polearm with rectangular blades on each end.
* As W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent Hong Lu, he wields a W Corp.-charged spear.
* As Hook Office Fixer Hong Lu, he uses two bionic arms that end in scythes, similar to Taein from *Library of Ruina*.
