Appearance

Height: 168cm

Weight: 140 Ibs

On the surface, one would describe the choice of attire as flamboyant and such a person would not be wrong, with the richness and brilliance of the eye-catching colours. Upon closer inspection, one would notice the gold patterns that are embedded in the outer tunic, which could only come from quality merchants that were afforded in the lands of Wu, that tended to the freedom of expression extended to the populace. Clearly this attire was Lu Xun's expression of his confidence, for bright red to represent his passion, the gold trimmings to represent his heritage of who is, and the following fabric from his arms and the feathers that sat on his shoulders, conveyed a drive to rise to greater heights.

One would then question why such an attire was needed, which would then be answered when considering the appearance of the lean and average built young man that elected his course. Despite now becoming a grown man, one would never support such an assertion with his boy-ish charms and his soft facial features, that were complimented by his short chestnut brown hair and light hazel eyes. Contrary to the way he looked himself, he was confident of his abilities, that allowed him to wear such clothing - - which would only leave others foolish to underestimate his abilities two-fold, to mock his appearance.

Taking into account his shape and build, Lu Xun is more aware of his capabilities, while seeking to do better. His attire allows him the maximum efficiency when it comes to utilising his speed and agility, while ensuring protection underneath. However, where the situation calls for it, Lu Xun is not so foolish to leave himself open, to arm himself where needs, must. Regardless of his studious mind and preparation, he could only put his talents into action if he was recognised, but if he is to be judged by his appearance, then they would see a confident young man.

Personality

"My family will rise again. Whatever it takes, I swear I will do it"

As one would expect from a noble, they are deep-rooted in tradition as a way to establish and maintain order, and they have no end of charisma due to their position in society. While the Lu family were no longer as powerful and influential as they once were, certainly the young Lu held onto the charismatic trait to be a person that someone could turn to. He also embraced the traits of his grandfather to be virtuous and thereby respecting his fellow man regardless of rank and to offer assistance when the need was there. It was the same in the days when the Lu family were prominent in Wu, especially for his father to be counted on and considered dependable.

However, Lu Xun, like his granduncle, would have his own views which he would not be afraid to profess, as it was well within his rights. The question therefore is how does he come across his views that he so defends so steadfastly...the answer resting in the same way as he tackles any issue, whether it be academic or political or military or domestically...which was by analytical analysis of the various factors. It is the same methodology he adopts when considering an action, only that sometimes it can become subjective when he driven and thus, when he puts his mind to a task at hand, he will persevere and give his all to fulfil it.

This does not mean that such a task at hand is correct or his methodology is perfect, as he continues to harness his learning in his adaptive nature, but when he is wrong, he will respectfully accept it. In the same light, he would respect another's methodology if executed well, but this would not change how confident Lu Xun feels in his own abilities.. His attire alone sends a clear enough message of how bold, ready and steadfast he is, regardless of what others may say. However, where wrongs are concerned, they are harder for Lu Xun to bare, which he can either confront directly or confront indirectly - not quite living up to his father's magnanimous nature. In Lu Xun's mind though, he felt even his father would struggle with such a concept, had their roles been reversed.

Nevertheless, while his mind may be focused and certainly calm when it is, he certainly is a soft-spoken young man who tries to see the best in people and grasp their motivations, which tend to come from the heart if such motivations are genuine. However, attack what he stands for and criticise him, Lu Xun certainly will defend himself.

History

"I have a dream I will fulfil. And nothing else will distract me from my path"

Lu Xun was born into the proud and noble Lu family in the summer of 167 AD in the commandery of Wu. His family had not only the reputation in the lands of Jiangdong, but also quite the power and influence to be able to lead by example. His grandfather Lu Yu was a virtuous man, quick in wits and served the Han as a Colonel of the City Gates, while his father Lu Jun served as Chief Commandant of Jiujiang, as a trustworthy and magnanimous man, that was loved and appreciated for the work he did. Both figures of Lu Xun's life were essential building blocks into how they each raised him, to be a respectful noble, to serve the lands of Wu.

There remained however one issue that both his grandfather and father would not be so open about, which was the issue of the Han. However, what they did not voice in words, they voiced in deeds as they gave their lives for the people of Wu. It was one such fateful day when Lu Xun was still young, that pirates had raided the shores of Wu, where his father was slain, in a period of illness that took his grandfather soon after. As a result, it felt a void had now opened up around him, where no-one could fill his father and grandfather's shoes, but his granduncle Lu Kang did take him in, in his position as Grand Administrator of Lujiang. However, it seemed trouble followed him again as rebels attacks Lujiang and true to his duty, Lu Kang prepared a defence and held his lines well, until one Sun Jian relieved the siege.

It seemed that the self-proclaimed 'Tiger of Jiangdong' had become the Saviour of Lujiang, who also was the bearer of further good news for it to be reported that the 'Tiger' was responsible for keeping the pirates at bay. Sun Jian had succeeded where his father had failed, despite all the training his father had undertaken. However, Lu Xun could not resent Sun Jian's achieves, putting on his father's magnanimous nature to respect those who did well. Why, Lu Xun even supported his granduncle's decision to aid Sun Jian, as a new era was to be born to unite the lands of Wu under one power. In this time, Lu Xun was but 11, but he was nonetheless a witness to the new era to be born, as the Lu family combined their power and influence with the Zhu, Gu and Zhang families under Sun Jian.

Lu Kang had no love for the Emperor, but believed that if Wu was united, then Wu would be stronger, with Sun Jian kow-towing to the Emperor and not him. Afterall, his grandfather and father gave their all to do what they could for the people of Wu, so growing up in the new Kingdom of Wu, their memory certainly could live on through Lu Xun. However, his time had not come yet, but was no stranger to the changes....how the families rallied behind Sun Jian, only for Sun Jian to pass rulership to his son. It should of made no difference, especially considering how the Four Families supported their young leader by showing their support -- the question was, as time went on, if the Four Families had their young leader's support.

During such a time, Lu Xun remained with his granduncle, whose attitude towards the Emperor still did not change and disapproving of how the eunuchs had taken over the court. These were sad days for the Han, but even sadder days for Wu's proud and noble families, once Lu Xun came to realise his position, as he compared how things used to be and how things were now. Before, it made little difference, because one; he was too young, two; he had yet to study and three; things appeared unchanged to still engage with royalty. In particular, Princess Ren, After all the Four Families had done to create this unity in the interest of common good, their heritage now meant nothing -- which to Lu Xun, was an insult to his father's and grandfather's memories.

How could he remain in Wu to fight under the Sun family, who bit the hand that fed them? No - he could not label the whole Sun family and he would hope that Sun Quan would see the error of his ways and change, but Lu Xun was no optimist to consider that to be the case. The Kingdom of Wu was built on the Four Families of Wu and now their names meant /nothing/ and there was /nothing/ he could personally do - it was time for Lu Xun to take flight, or he & his family's legacy will not grow.
