Portrait by bogmood on Twitter
Name: Lucent (epithets: "Storm-Strider," "The Claret Heart")
Race: Veena Viera
Age: He stopped counting (but he is an adult)
Pronouns: He/him, but unattached to gender and won't say no to other pronouns.
Job: A highly skilled red mage with a skew towards white magic due to his background in conjury. Has potent verhealing and strong offensive white magic, but weak black magic. Prefers to fight with his sword - uses elemental strikes (think FFXIII Ravager abilities) instead of pure spells.
Personality: A paradox. On one hand: highly social, compassionate, charismatic, and possessed of a burning passion for justice. Truly the spitting image of a Red Mage. On the other hand, still a little... unadjusted from his long isolation as a Wood-Warder, and still ill at ease in Eorzea as an outsider. He's honest to a fault, and quick to jump to violence as a solution to problems. Doesn't see anything wrong with bloodying, or even murdering a fucker or two if they deserve it. Often found slicing up increasingly large monsters outside the walls of Revenant's Toll to let off steam.
Over the course of his journey, he learns to manage his temper and see the nuance in people and situations. The compassionate side of his personality becomes more pronounced, and he learns how to de-escalate situations, understanding that just because he can beat people up and win doesn't mean he should. That being said, "I could always murder them for you?" continues to be a running joke between him and his friends.
Backstory: Lucent is a (relatively) ordinary adventurer who exists in a continuity where Meteor (default trailer posterboy) is the WoL.
