Lusk

Name: Lusk Uwik

Age: 46

Investiture: Atium Ferring (very skilled)

Occupation/Guild Affiliation: Ghostbloods, Council Member

Strengths: Extremely proficient at using Atium Feruchemy (see Walker v. Lusk duel for example). Is skilled at making people feel inadequate and meaningless. His different ages he can switch to have different strengths and weaknesses, which will be listed below.

Weaknesses: Physically weak due to a liver accident he barely survived a year ago. He is now not as quick to getting into fights as he was before. He also cannot walk anywhere without his cane, which is a standard wooden cane (no hidden weapons)

Weapons: A single steel knife, his fists, and if he’s feeling particularly like an old man, he can flail his cane at people. Also, I’m pretty sure his verbal jabs count as weapons  He has a series of Harmonium cubes for Allomancy and one harmonium cube for Atium Feruchemy.

Ages: Lusk can use his Atium Feruchemy to switch to many ages of his life for different strengths and weaknesses, taking the age’s psychology as well. Note, this also counts as his

Backstory:

8: Eight year old Lusk is short and small, can get through tight spaces and is fast due to experience from running from Shades and his father. Weakness is he has the psychology of an eight year old, so can be manipulated with nice words, is pretty dumb, and scared of most adults.

18: Sixteen year old Lusk is intelligent. He can assess most Investitures due to studying for tests and can identify different strategies that are being used and how to combat him. Imagine a kid who’s cramming for his final exam. Weaknesses is that he’s very physically weak, looks terrible with pimples and is pretty much an insecure nerd who got bullied a lot.

22 - 27: ‘Popular Lusk’. It was basically the period where Lusk switched residences and decided to bury everything he liked. Poetry, space travel. He pretended to be someone he wasn’t, and that made him popular. Popular Lusk is skilled in intimidation and socialising. He is exceptionally good at throwing his harmonium cubes, due to beer pong experience. Weakness is that he’s almost always drunk, and has no experience of anything beyond which is mentioned.

28: ‘Fat Lusk’. Lusk’s mother died here, and Lusk was depressed for one year, he had eating problems, and became physically massive (fat). Strengths are how heavy and large he is, weaknesses are how he’s constantly crying, has no skill in *anything,*and bad words can pretty much incapacitate him.

30 - 35: Lusk’s ‘kill zone’. Lusk’s father constantly came to berate Fat Lusk, saying he was worthless, insulting his mother, being abusive, all of that stuff. Lusk finally snapped and knew he wanted to kill his father who’d been bad to Lusk his entire life. From 28 - 30 he stopped being fat, and from 30 - 35 Lusk pushed his body further than he’d ever done, physically becoming the strongest he’d ever been. Strengths are that he has the strength of someone who goes to the gym daily, and is proficient with a knife and sword. Weaknesses is that his mind is literally nothing but combat, nonstop. All he ever thinks about is how to kill his father, which can be problematic when switching to this age because Lusk’s father is dead.

35 - 45: Lusk appeared on a stormy night and had an epic showdown with his dad. His dad underestimated, and even then held his own for a while. Lusk killed him at the age of 35. His father had been a Ghostblood, but instead of killing him, Lusk was offered a place in the Ghostbloods, as his father had been a great warrior and Lusk had beat him. In this age, strengths are Lusk is trained in deception and politics, and is very skilled in Atium Feruchemy. He was a council member. Weaknesses are that nobody likes him, and he has a very large ego and like his father, underestimates people. He has completely stifled his personality, but a little bit of good shines through him when he tried to help Walker in the duel. This ended up in him getting Liver failure and Walker punching him in the face.

46 (current): Lusk is but a husk of who he used to be. After spending the better part of a year in the hospital, Lusk has the strength of worldly wisdom. He knows he’ll never get a second chance, that even when he tried to be good enough failed, that nobody likes him. He doesn’t like himself. Weaknesses are, well, the current weaknesses (at the top of the bio).
