character. CHARACTER NAME: Lu Xun, styled Boyan SERIES: Dynasty Warriors (based heavily on his appearance in Dynasty Warriors 7) CANON POINT: At the end of Wu's storyline, when temporary peace has been achieved. APPEARANCE: Here! He used to have a hat. And feathers. But now, braids are in. DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Adept Rogue; Twin Blade & Macabre Dancer. Lu Xun's base weapon in all his appearances save one are twin sabers, which makes the first class an easy pick. The seventh rendition in the series features a game mechanic where characters can switch weapons mid-battle in the same manner as Adept Rogues in .hack can.
However, Lu Xun is not so much a fighter as a strategist, one who plans; the role of a strategist can be compared to the role of a caster class supporting from the back. The pick of Macabre Dancer over the other caster classes is not simply because of the class' dual wielding capabilities; in a spin-off game, Lu Xun's affinity lies first in Blades, closely followed by Tech -- where fans in that game fall under. Also, there is a running joke in the series and its spin-offs where Lu Xun will either be the one launching a fire attack or end up admiring a successful fire attack; this is a character that will appreciate the ability to light things on fire without oil or matches but won't use it without reason.
PERSONALITY: A self-effacing young officer, he always conducts himself with sincerity … He encapsulates both the liveliness of youth and the wisdom of resourcefulness.
Lu Xun is fire, burning. One of the scions of the Lu family, he is youthful and dynamic. Learning challenges him, challenges excite him. There is no lack of passion or conviction in his words or actions once he has settled on a thought or a belief; Lu Xun has a duty he must accomplish and he will burn everything obstructing him in order to reach it.
Lu Xun is water, adapting. A scholar at heart, he is intelligent and wise, insightful and perceptive. He goes with the flow, watching the momentum on the battlefield and comes up with plans on the fly. When the officers under his command resist his orders, he doesn't despair. Instead, he goes out to fight, earning their respect, and ends the battle with a landslide victory in his favour.
Lu Xun is metal, persisting. Strict with himself and serious in his duty, he stands firm in the path he has chosen, steeling himself against those who would try to sway him. He can be overly stubborn. He can be strong. He is honest and kind and will flatter no one. He will fight and keep fighting for the sake of his dreams and visions of the future.
Lu Xun is earth, standing. Reasonable and practical, while he seeks victory in his strategies, he will not sacrifice others in vain. He is stable, responsible and mature, the foundation of Wu's plans and its newest Supreme Commander. He works hard and trains hard and remains faithful and unwavering.
Lu Xun is wood, expanding. He knows he is young, he knows he is inexperienced, he knows the world is cruel and that people must fight one another in order to survive. Still, he sees a possible future where people live in harmony. Lu Xun subconsciously compares himself to his predecessors and knows that he has a lot more to learn, a lot more to grow. He strives to be the best he can, knowing that he has a part to play in guiding his country.
Lu Xun, though known for his humility and sincerity, is capable of deception. He can be sneaky and devious, ruthless and cunning, baiting and trapping his enemies. The landscape of China is one of bloodshed and one where a warrior must do whatever it takes to protect their home and the people they care for. For his lord, for his country, for his comrades, Lu Xun is willing.
A loyal follower and a thoughtful commander, he addresses others politely and seemingly keeps them at a distance. However, when given the chance, he becomes an admiring subordinate or an encouraging friend.
Though burdened by family name and inexperience, Lu Xun succeeds with talent and willpower. He is potential waiting to fulfil and a shining star of a brighter future.
