SPELLBIND APP OOC INFO; NAME: daily AGE: 20 CONTACT: IC INFO; CHARACTER NAME: Luxanna Crownguard CANON & HISTORY: linked here! AGE: 19 years old. CANON POINT: post the big league lore re-work! PERSONALITY: From her first breath, it seemed as though everything had been mapped out for her. She was born a Crownguard; one of the most prestigious and honorable family names in Demacia - a long line of protectors for the King. Luxanna and her older brother were, without question, expected to follow in tradition’s footsteps. At first glance, Luxanna is the shining example of what every Demacian should strive to be: well mannered, well read, and well poised. A young woman of immense kindness, bravery, and altruistic ideals - Lux has lived most of her life under the scrutiny of the public eye due to her family name, and because of this, her generous and understanding persona is only one side to a very carefully crafted coin. On one hand, she is Demacia’s ideals turned flesh, a brave, honorable young woman who handles all of her responsibilities with the grace expected of a Crownguard. With every move she makes being linked back to her family and status, she is not afforded the same room for mistakes as everyone else is. Acknowledging this early on sparks the beginnings of a perfectionist streak -- one that she still wrestles with to this day. She doesn’t feel comfortable with others seeing her in any state that’s less than immaculate and pristine - right down to the emotions she displays. Keeping an upbeat, level-headed, and *dependable* front is both her goal and specialty. A common misconception from all of this is that Lux is all sugar and honey, which is not the case. while she has a very strong handle on her temper, and is not quick to lose it, she’s not at all above being passive aggressive when provoked - often delivering backhanded compliments and outright insults with a smile, in that same, candy-sweet way of hers. It’s a skill that you tend to pick up on after so many balls and social functions. She also has a infamously large stubborn streak; one that’s given her various tutors and bodyguards absolute hell over the years. Once she’s set her mind to something, there’s little anyone can do to stop or sway her, for better or worse. Some secrets, however, run even deeper. For every light, there is a shadow, and hers come in the form of magic. She was young, thirteen when she discovered her abilities of light, and with them came the knowledge that no one could know - lest she be exiled from Demacia. It was a secret that she carried for years, until she was found out; and then was given the choice to either be cast out, or join the rank of the Radiant Ones and use her powers to gather intel on enemy movements beyond Demacia’s borders. It was a no brainer. she accepted the job, and her family was left in the dark as to what Lux really was, as was the general public; both a blessing and a curse. They’d all despise her if they knew she was a mage, leaving her to walk this precarious line between truth and fiction; between Lady Luxanna and ‘Lux’. An exhausting battle. At her heart of hearts, she’s very jaded, and somewhat bitter. Being given little choice in life as to what and who to be left her feeling caged at times, and while she has since (somewhat begrudgingly) grown into the role she’s expected to play, she sometimes fantasizes about what it would have been like to grow up *normally*. No expectations, no powers, and just be...Lux. Not Lady Crownguard, not a mage, not a spy, just Luxanna. It’s a fantasy that even in a world of magic, is too far fetched for her thoughts to linger on for long. POWERS: here! (however, for a tl;dr to save some time) > Light Binding: Lux flings forth a sphere of light that upon impact, binds, deals damage, and roots her enemies to the spot for a few seconds. > Prismatic Barrier: she flings her wand, bending light around any friendly ally to create a shield that protects them from incoming enemy damage. > Lucent Singularity: an anomaly of twisted light is thrown into an area, slowing any enemy that passes through it, and when the anomaly is detonated - any enemy standing within it's radius takes damage. > Final Spark: literally one of the biggest middle fingers in the game, after a moment to charge, Lux fires a gigantic beam of light (literally. a laser. ya girl is a laser.) that deals massive amounts of damage to all enemies hit. OTHER: really, it should be mentioned that the above are just her abilities explained in terms of her skill set in the game. lore/story wise, she has been described to be capable of "hiding in plain sight", and "play tricks that made people believe they had seen things that did not actually exist"; all by manipulating light! GAME INFO; MAGIC ABILITY: photon healing. she's capable of healing using light! however, this power is weaker depending on the area (ie; she could heal someone better if outside under the sun vs. inside with little light), or in some cases won't work at all (ie; night time, with the moon hidden by clouds OR isolated in darkness). PRICE: her staff! ACCLIMATION: 6. Lux has never been one to sit and twiddle her thumbs while waiting on someone else to figure out things for her, and while she'll feel uncomfortable in a new setting, what would matter to her more is getting a good feel for where she is, how things work - and then slowly begin forming a game plan for what to do from there.
