Lucian

Physical Summary
Lucian is an six-foot tall male Sirin, a race of humaniods with birdlike characteristics, he has a full coat of feathers, wings, which span up to 10 feet, talons, and a beak. His feathers are a greenish color and are all about 8 inches long, and his eyes shine a bright blue. Many of his feathers are oftentimes covered in blood from his frequent hunts or common avoidance of water. When he does have time, his feathers are impeccable and seem to gleam in the sunlight. His bones are slightly less dense than the average race in order to be able to fly/glide, but due to an incident in his childhood he is unable to fly in his current state. You can see when looking at him that his right wing has many scars, tied to the incident where he lost his ability to fly. His face is always stern, as a man of the hunt he is always on guard, save the few fun times he has with his friends.

Life Prior to Templehelm
Lucian was raised in the homeland of the Sirin, Rushanka, until he reached the age of manhood (20). Growing up he often found himself loving animals and all things nature, as the Sirin were a relatively peaceful race of hunter gatherers. Once he reached the age of 10, and his wings were usable enough to glide with, he received his first bow and went out with his father on his first hunt, till this point he had either been learning the ways of the bow when his father wasn't off on hunts or learning to forage with his mother. On this first hunt he fell in love with the art of hunting and from that day forth set out to be the best hunter of his village. Many years were spent honing his craft, and in the meantime he became very familiar with basic survival skills and navigating through the dense forests of his homeland. Finally once reaching the age of 20 it was time for him to take the right of passage for the Sirin, a gauntlet style competition including a test of courage, a test of bowman-ship, a solo hunt, and finally the test of flight. The only thing that stood in his way was the village's chief, his long time friend who had recently seemed different. Sirian, the chief's son, had always struggled in the past. Many people had looked down on him for being weak, a commonplace in Sirin culture. After having seen his friend for the first time in 5 years, Lucian had realized that there was something very different about his friend. He was strong, fast, and seemed to have an air of confidence around him that before would have been unthinkable. After catching up Lucian found out that Serian had taken himself into seclusion the past 5 years with his older brother, having hated the way the villagers treated and worked on himself to be a son his father could be proud of. They continued to chat for a while and decided to meet up the next day at the pre trial feast. At the feast the chief made an announcement, this year the stakes would be raised on the trial. Any Sirin unable to complete the trial would be banished from the tribe, as he felt the Sirin had grown weaker as of late, and it was effecting their ability to sustain in the harsh wilderness. Upon hearing this Lucian had a thought, maybe leaving the village wouldn't be so bad, he had always been curious about the world beyond the forest, but he could never bring himself to leave on his own. The first 3 tests went by rather quickly with Lucian preforming fantastically in the areas of hunting and bowman-ship, sending Lucian's confidence through the roof, and passing the test of courage. Finally it came to the test of flight, something that Lucian had never been great at, however the test was simple enough. As a 20 year old Sirin, their wings were strong enough to support a glide, but not quite strong enough to actually fly yet. The test was to glide down from the village in the trees through the forest into a landing zone set up a few miles away. At the start of the test Lucian and Serian were doing fine drifting through the trees until suddenly Lucian had slipped up and knocked into Serian heading into a tree. Knowing how important proving himself to the village and his father was to Serian, Lucian in a state of panic, pushed Sirian further hitting the tree himself. He then proceeded to tumble down into the forest floor in a state of dissaray. During his fall he broke 3 rips and his wings were pretty beaten up too. He was torn, as he had helped his lifelong friend fulfill his dreams, but it was at the cost of his place in his beloved home.After collecting himself, Lucian managed to hobble his way back to the village in the trees where he was greeted by the waiting villagers. Before he could say anything, he collapsed on the floor, as the adrenaline that managed to get him home had run through his system. 2 days later he woke up in a bed to see Serian, his parents and the village chief. After a few minuets of catching up at happy reunions the chief spoke up stating that Serian had explained what had happened to him, and even though he did not complete the trial he was willing to let Lucian stay in the village as he had saved his son from failing. Upon hearing this Lucian, who had been undecided until now, decided that this was his chance and he would follow his dreams of being the best hunter and his dream of going to a new land, upon healing up he would set out to find the man that he wanted to be. His plan was to become a legendary hunter making the Sirin known throughout the world, in order to make up for his failures here. Though he was sad to leave his home, which he loved, he was excited for the prospects of the greater unknown world.
