A cheerful Baskar maiden, Lan wants more than anything to be of assistance to the people around her. She believes that even mountains may be moved with sincerity and the application of a kind word. Though she seems naive and somewhat flighty, Lan is more than willing to back up her noble sentiments with action - as a shaman, or just as a person. She's awfully confident for someone that doesn't carry a single weapon!

Background

Raised as a daughter of a small Baskar tribe, Lan grew up surrounded by aunts and uncles and cousins, some of whom were actually related to her by blood, most of whom were not. It's considered an important custom in her particular village to go out on a journey when one comes of age, traveling among the people of Filgaia in order to learn and bring back a new skill or discipline to benefit the tribe. Lan certainly left on her pilgrimage at the right time (the night of her seventeenth birthday) but she certainly got something kinda backwards... she took her village's enshrined medium, and went out to benefit the rest of Filgaia.

Hang on, let's back up a little.

Having grown up among tales of the world outside of Little Firelight, stories of the hardships endured by outsiders stirred her sympathy and pity for the poor people who had to live in war zones, in the Badlands, people who starved because their lands grew barren over the years as Filgaia continued to die. There's just too much much suffering out there to do anything about it, her elders said. All you can do is try to alleviate pain when you find it, and to heal those who come to you, but above all you need a strong home and family to support you, for without a place to return to you have nothing.

Little Firelight had a single medium enshrined from the days before her oldest grandmother was a child, a plate that belonged to a Guardian that even the village's shamans knew little about. It was called Rigdobrite, the Star Guardian.

On the night before she was to leave her village, Lan retired from her farewell party to rest up, and for the first time in her life she had a dream that felt important. An enormous glittering star fell from the sky, disappearing over the horizon and calling out for her to follow it. When she woke up in the early pre-dawn, she knew what she had to do. It was a single desire, a clear answer to her problems with the village's gentle 'us first, them second' policy.

So she stole the village's single medium and ran away. She had to, right?? It was a sign from the Guardians! And she was pretty sure the elders wouldn't agree, so it was just easier to take it and go. They probably didn't even notice it was gone for a whole week!!

...She's probably in biiiiiig trouble if she ever goes home again. She WAS in big trouble!! But they let her keep the Medium, at least...

Powers and Abilities

File:Form1.png File:Form2.png

  • Hand-to-Hand - Lan specializes in unarmed combat, using her natural agility to move around the battlefield and avoid incoming attacks. In a real fight her priority is to strike hard and end things quickly.
  • Guardian Magic - Her patron is Rigobrite, the Star Guardian. Accordingly, Lan can summon his power (and to some extent that of the ambient spiritual energy around her) in battle.
  • Spiritual Attunement - As a shaman, Lan's job is to communicate with spirits and help out during spiritual crises. She has a natural affinity with wind spirits and can sometimes ask the friendlier ones simple questions. Example: 'Is there water nearby?'
  • First Aid - While she's still an amateur compared to those who have made it their profession, Lan can perform most of the basic duties of a medic.
  • Black Ribbon - A mysterious force left behind by the subsumation of the Drifter named Ashansi. While using it can make her stronger, relying on it too often or for too long will begin to degrade her sanity.

Relationships

Image Name Unsolicited Opinions
Azoth.png Azoth "Even though I fought him the first time I met him, he turned out to not be a bad person after all. A 'program' seems like mind control for robots... and of course, Solaris is using it on him. And I'm not sure if he can be trusted, but... I want to."
Citan.jpg Citan Uzuki "He's been nothing but kind and polite to everybody I've ever seen him talk to - although I guess if you don't like dad jokes, maybe he'd be a bit too much for people. But Doctor Citan is smart, and calm, and listened to what I had to say, so... I'll take all the dad jokes he cares to tell."
Gwenface.jpeg Gwen Whitlock "A sweet girl, a loyal friend, and a heck of a courier. No matter what we go through, I hope I'll always be always to keep up with her. I want to hold her hand and keep waiting for the dawn."
Leah Sadalbari "I understand why. But..."
Tokens loren.png Loren Voss "I still miss him. Even if we argue, and even if we have to fight each other again, I believe in him. I gave back his brother's sword because I believe in him."
LydiaHibiscancolor2.jpg Lydia Seren "I have so many messed up feelings regarding her. Like how I didn't notice that she was suffering, and how I must've let her down, even if she wasn't depending on me. And now there's maybe nothing I /can/ do for her. I think... I think it's up to people who were better friends to her than I've been."

Seraphita "At first I was sure she was going to try to recapture me, but she didn't. She was even really nice, and lent me her hat to keep warm! We had to fight later but... I don't hate her, even though she's super dedicated to Solaris. I think we could be friends, too."
