[/CELL][CELL][B][COLOR=EEE8AA]Appearance[/COLOR][/B] [SUB][SUP]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/SUP][/SUB] Short, petite, and slender, Lumen clearly doesn't fit the typical archetype of a warrior. However, such is the way of Fae. Possessing a height of five feet, the lad expresses a scrawny presence, appearing quite unremarkable in response. Above his nose rests two large, inhumanly large eyes, offering a glaring contrast to his chalk white skin with an obsidian black surface. Dressed in a wanderer's attire, Lumen lacks the evident apparel of his standing, something finding its purpose in his pilgrimage among the 'common folk'. [B][COLOR=EEE8AA]Personality[/COLOR][/B] [SUB][SUP]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/SUP][/SUB] A knight belongs on the battlefield, with blade in hand and stalwart resolution in full swing. Lumen might not be a notably experienced cavalier, but he certainly embodies the ideals presented when the subject of knighthood reaches the forefront. Always first to charge in, oftentimes without consideration or a plan in the works, he tends to think with his heart more so than his head. Lumen means well, truly, and his actions reveal this in spades, but there are times where carefully laid out tactics triumph over ambition. He has much to learn, and though the boy raises his blade without a second thought, neigh immune to the effects of fear and anxiety, he would do well to take a breath and stock of the situation. No matter how often he finds himself beaten down and struggling to take his next step, Lumen does not give up. He is stubborn, almost stupidly so, but few could hope to stifle the inferno burning within this young Fae's heart. They say that it’s the thought that counts, and truly, the thoughts are there. Lumen is anything but suave and charming, unless one finds the innocent ramblings of a battle hardened dreamer charming. He doesn’t weave pretty words written in novels, and he doesn’t know how he would go about sweeping a prince off his feet, but a sharp toothed smile and resolute determination has gotten him this far. ‘Hope never fades,’ a powerful statement uttered in earnest, and one Lumen often repeats. ‘Hope continues to live with your every breath. Wield it with your sword, and sharpen it with your spirit.’ It is quite the task to rid Lumen of his warrior’s soul. One might consider him naive, and truly, that isn’t far from the truth. However, it is foolish to believe that once Lumen has set his mind to something, that he will let go of that dream; that mission. Though Lumen is driven by a sense of self-proclaimed duty, it would be a lie to claim that there wasn't another reason behind his constant, ever-lasting pursuit of excitement and heroism; it is fun. Whether it is with sword in hand or fist held high, the rush of battle, the thought of adventure, and the image of supernatural splendor brings to Lumen's face a smile unlike any other. Almost an addiction, everyone has a drive, and rushing headfirst into certain danger is simply in the boy's nature. [B][COLOR=EEE8AA]Arcana[/COLOR][/B] [SUB][SUP]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/SUP][/SUB] [B]Major:[/B] [COLOR=FFFFFF]The Sun[/COLOR] [INDENT] Like his kin, Lumen is linked to the Arcana of the Sun. It is a force displaying itself as a soothingly white energy, a layer which allows for a soft, gentle glow emanating from the boy's skin at all times. At this level of power, Lumen is unable to actively extend his Arcana onto others, but rather, the magic flowing through his nature as a Fae allows for a passive effect of regeneration and agelessness, something shared across the Ivory Court. However, Lumen's age of a recently matured young man renders him currently unable to extend this magic onto others, something that will show itself with practice and time. When hurt, Lumen's blood appears to be golden white, and it is speculated that the blood of an Ivory Fae can afford an aspect of their biology onto those who imbibe, healing any ailment. This has not been proven, however. Despite Lumen's young nature, and inability to actively wield his magic, the boy has proven to be incredibly resilient due to its presence, healing him and keeping him healthy.

[/INDENT][/CELL][/ROW][/TABLE][hr] [CENTER] [COLOR=EEE8AA]Combat[/COLOR]: 7/10 A formally trained Knight, swordsman, and warrior, Lumen has followed the traditions of his people, and adopted a journey towards martial excellence since an early, tender age. [COLOR=EEE8AA]Culture[/COLOR]: 2/10 Having spent his entire life secluded from the outside world, within the embrace of ivory walls, he is left knowing close to nothing about the culture and politics of a world he just now ventured into. [COLOR=EEE8AA]Commerce[/COLOR]: 2/10 Coming from a prestigious Fae bloodline of Ivory Knights, Lumen was never faced by the prospect of economic struggle; until now. Part of his pilgrimage through experience is to survive and manage himself without the aid of his kin. [COLOR=EEE8AA]Magic[/COLOR]: 4/10 Like all of his people, Lumen is tied to the Arcana of the Sun. It is a natural part of his species, and on its way to grow alongside the boy himself. [COLOR=EEE8AA]Survival[/COLOR]: 4/10 As is expected of a Knight, Lumen can, despite his inexperience, manage the essential basics of survival. He knows how to cook, albeit leaving much to be desired, and he knows how to set up a proper, makeshift den to guard him against stormy nights.
