Name: Lusen Ditrik de Winter
Nicknames/Alias: None
FF: FFX
Age: 16
Height/build: 5’7, slender but not especially delicate or slight
DoB: June 16th
Race: Al Bhed
Occupation: Mechanic and Chemist-in-training
Weapon: Mechanical Daggers
Level: 30
Strength: 90
Physical: 35
Magical: 0
Agility: 55
Special Skill(s):
Alchemical Mix: The ability to rapidly mix available substances into more potent forms, usually on the fly due to the instability and short shelf-lives of many of the compounds. Lusen is most proficient in non-elemental damage compounds such as explosives, but he’s expanding his knowledge in the alchemical fields. Success is not guaranteed, especially when his concentration is compromised.
Dismantler: Having grown up in Home, Lusen is naturally adept at handling machina, and these same skills make him more efficient at combating machina and similar mechanical apparatuses.
Scavenge: If there’s anything the Al Bhed culture is known for, it’s unearthing all kinds of hidden treasure from discarded remnants. Naturally, Lusen has learned how to excavate ruins and salvage useable parts from any mess of scrap and he’s also well-versed in moving through decrepit environments, but more recently he’s been studying how to extract useful components from fallen monsters.
Sticky Fingers: Though thieving has never been Lusen’s primary occupation, during his early travels from Home he’s often had to resort to pilfering goods from unsuspecting shops and unattended property. He’s by no means an accomplished thief and pickpocketing isn’t one of his better skills, but he knows how to slip out of places with a few extra trinkets. He’s also grown adept at catching items thrown at him, particularly rocks…
Quick Initiative: The fleet-footed Al Bhed youth is difficult to catch off guard, especially by fiends, and reacts quickly even when surprised. This allows him to avoid most traps and preemptive strikes -- or at the very least make a quick recovery – unless the attacker possesses considerably higher agility.
Safeguard: It takes a thief to know a thief! Lusen is naturally wary of others to some extent, and because he’s accustomed to pilfering he’s very aware of others pilfering things from him. He’s caught more than one novice trying to make off with his items.
Magic: None
Summon: None
Appearance: Lusen is a young man with a fairly average, lean build, lithe but not frail. His round features and long, golden hair give him a somewhat feminine appearance, but androgyny in the Al Bhed youth isn't incredibly uncommon. He wears the thick mass of gold pulled up into a ponytail, leaving his bangs and a few tresses free to frame his face, and he possesses the typical light but sun-kissed complexion and green spiral irises of his race.
In terms of attire, Lusen's left behind the conspicuous garments of the Al Bhed in favor of a more casual look. He usually dons loose, multi-pocketed pants to store tools and chemistry components and slightly more fitting shirts, as excess material compromises his dexterity. He often wears a long, cream-colored overcoat with maroon designs along the hem and sleeves, which serves to conceal his tools and hide his hands when he wants to whip up substances without alerting his opponent.
Personality: At first, Lusen might seem wary and distrustful of strangers, slightly jaded by the prejudice Spirans had for the Al Bhed even though that prejudice has seen a great decline in recent years. He's not naive, and keeps himself alert for people who may be swindling him or hiding ulterior motives, but he often adopts a guise of innocence to give himself an advantage. Despite this small guile, Lusen is good-natured and philanthropic at heart, and will step in to aid others when they're in need of a hand.
Lusen's attitude towards an individual is largely dependent on how that individual treats him, as he's developed a very versatile personality over the years. He can be laid-back and happy company with someone he trusts, but he can also be terse and sharp when the need arises. Overall, though, he's rational but warm, usually able to maintain a level-head without sacrificing compassion or sentiment.
History: An Al Bhed through and through, Lusen was raised with his people in their desert sanctuary, and he gained every bit of the innovative nature and mechanical prowess of his people. Early years found him tinkering and scavenging alongside his childhood friends, making his mother proud with the junk he dug up and put together. Curious and unafraid of most things, Lusen loved to explore abandoned places and piles of tossed out mechanics, and he was happy in his like-minded community for the duration of his younger years.
