Lucan Artorian

A reformed thief turned wandering minstrel, gifted marksman, Scion of the Seventh Dawn, and Warrior of Light.

Backstory

Abandoned by his father and unwillingly taken as a ward by the pirate crew that killed his mother, Lucan spent his teenage years sailing the high seas while serving as both a cook and a deckhand. During this time he also began training as an archer due to his unnaturally proficient aim, earning him the moniker of Deadeye. After four years in their service, Lucan received a vision of his mother’s death and the associated emotions which prompted him to single handedly kill every member of the crew before throwing himself overboard.Washing ashore near the port city of Limsa Lominsa, Lucan’s new lease on life led him into a life of petty crime and debauchery alongside his first love, Ko’shari, a Miqo’te thief, that eventually resulted in his imprisonment and conscription into the Maelstrom during the Battle of Carteneau.Released on probation for his service during the battle, Lucan chooses to distance himself from the life he’s led following his mother’s death and begins traveling from town to town as both a wandering minstrel and helping hand to those in need under his mother’s old alias “The Fox”.

A Realm Reborn

”You crave attention, you can never say no.
Throw your affections any way the wind blows.”

Arriving in Gridania five years after the battle of Cartenau, Lucan joins the Archers Guild hoping to earn a more stable income as an adventurer. Quickly making a name for himself as the star recruit of the Archer’s Guild as well as his bawdy performances at the Carline Canopy, Lucan is dispatched to the Twelveswood to help investigate suspicious Ixal activity.Paired with Applesauce Betty, a stoic and peculiarly named senior member of the Conjurer’s guild, Lucan proves his worth on the battlefield with his unnaturally proficient aim and unorthodox fighting style, much to Applesauce’s chagrin. In the ensuing conflict with a mysterious masked mage, Lucan’s hubris proves to be his undoing when he is grievously wounded due to a careless mistake. Against the advice of Yda and Papalymo, Applesauce chooses to heal Lucan despite the inherent risk to her own wellbeing with the severity of his injuries and her own exhaustion.Feeling an immense sense of gratitude, Lucan swears himself into Applesauce’s service and offers to be her travel guide when she is chosen as an envoy of Gridania to the other city states of the Eorzean Alliance.

Gaining notoriety throughout their travels for their feats of heroism, Lucan and Applesauce are eventually contacted by members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, an anonymous apolitical peacekeeping organization, about enlisting in their order.While Applesauce’s application is unanimously accepted, several members express disapproval of Lucan’s reputation and criminal record. Upon the request of both Applesauce and Thancred, a member of the Scions who claims to have come from a similar background as Lucan, Lucan is also granted provisional membership to the Scions.

”Make it alright for the last time
Take it slow, I'm numb from the pain
Don't mess around
Come and save me
Medicate me
Tell me baby, am I chasing a high that I won't live down?”

So baby, take my hand, you'll be alright.
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight.
They'll come true in the end”

Fun Facts

• Lucan’s name originally started as a Persona 5 joke (Lucan Cooljoker) since my fiancé’s main character had a ridiculous name, but I eventually decided against it. I liked the name Lucan so I decided to keep it. Little did I know that it’s actually an Italian name that means “light” 🤯• Artorian is a reference to Artorias from the original Dark Souls. A noble hero who is overwhelmed by a dark force he made a covenant with, that’s going to become very relevant in Endwalker 👀

Backstory

Born into a reclusive Miqo’te tribe on the outskirts of Gyr Abania, Ko’shari was known throughout her village for her mischievous nature as well as her uncommon beauty. At the age of 17, Ko’shari was sold into an arranged marriage to her tribe’s leader by her mother. Initially excited by the prospect of being wed to a handsome young man that she had previously admired, Ko’shari’s hopes were dashed by the revelation that she was entering the harem of a vindictive tyrant. Forced to suffer many indignities for over a year, Ko’shari murdered her husband and fled Gyr Abania for Limsa Lominsa.Surviving in Limsa Lominsa as a pickpocket, Ko’shari frequently targeted a young Hyur named Lucan which led into a recurring cat and mouse chase that ended with the two becoming lovers. Upon learning of Lucan’s attempted suicide Ko’shari encouraged Lucan to live like there is no tomorrow and recruited him as her partner.Ranging from simple pickpocketing to more elaborate heists, the two would become infamous in both Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah for their crime spree. Their relationship would often turn sour due to Ko’shari’s frequent infidelity and Lucan’s altruistic tendencies clashing with their high risk lifestyle. Despite this, the two would always find their way back to each other due to a shared belief that they are the only ones who could truly love the other. Their life together came to an end when Ko’shari betrayed Lucan and sold him out to the Maelstrom in exchange for passage to an unknown destination.Lucan & Ko'shari's paths unexpectedly cross eight years later when Lucan travels to Kugane with the Scions where she is revealed to have been living and working as a mercenary.

Fun Facts

• Renadora is named in honor of Lucan’s mother, Rena the Fox.• Her name is also a portmanteau of renard doré (French for Golden Fox) which combines Lucan’s alias “The Fox” and the origin of Applesauce’s birth name Melorabette (golden apple).
