Luv (she/them/his) is a changeling courtesan that practices elementalist magic and is ever present in the pursuit of helping others inside of their community.

Physical Appearance

In changeling form, Luv prefers to be appear as a pale blue changeling with long, white, undercut hair and a notch in her eyebrow. She is known for her translucent eyes that many of her companions say are mirrors into the many loves they have held and still hold onto. It is hard to see her not dressed to impress as she is always on a mission to befriend others and give them the respect they deserve.

Personality

Luv is a determined peacemaker; sometimes frustratingly so. She is quick to take ownership for her mistakes and will argue for the mercy of most, if not all, sentient beings.

She has picked fights with her fellow adventurers before as she argued against the willing sale of BWMDs (Bone Whistles of Mass Destruction) and the torture / caging of "enemy spies".

Luv also is a determined connection maker. However people need her to reach out to them, she will and she will try at every opportunity to know who they are & what their life has been like. This determination makes her not only a successful courtesan but also a kind friend/lover.

History

Luv was born into the the changeling colony of Håpe and eventually decided to flee from there. Her mission became to explore the world outside because she felt the colony was losing it's love of life due to the secluded nature.

In-Game Involvement

Cold Feet

Luv was in the process of working with a Ravel food kitchen to try and ensure people are well fed and happy. While working on that she met up with a group of adventurers (Adebimpe, Eltolinde, Clover, Lairus, Jaxzo'Ilan) who all seemed to share her wishes of helping the people of Ravel. Suddenly a group of desperate hostile thugs burst in through the doors to try and steal away blankets from the citizens inside. Luv, understanding that these thugs were only looking for blankets because they needed warmth & resources, chose to give away some of her money to ensure that they would leave without a single drop of bloodshed.

After the stressful situation, Luv and the crew of heroes decided to head to the nearest quest board and see what options were there for them to take. They see a ton of options:

• A bone dealer named Otto Bremer who wanted whale bones
• A baker whose fires seem to be magically extinguished by an unknown force
• A citizen who gets the uncanny feeling they are being watched via Elemental Scrying
• Reports of a vision from the Onomancer's Guild of a Kaiju-Sized Penguin
• Worries from citizens about local tortle Captain Kronch
• Several notices about Pirates in the region.

Languages

Common, Gnomish, and Elvish

Luv learned both Gnomish and Elvish from their parent's as they viewed any form of communication of great importance throughout the land.

RP

CHASING THROUGH THE STREETS

During one of their times of ravenous animal form, Ilan ran out onto the streets of Ravel and was unable to find their quarry. In sorrow, they went back to their lodgings and saw Luv there waiting for them. This is their conversation...

LUV: "Illan, are you okay? I tried to find you but you were no where near. Did something happen? Do you need anything to help?"

ILLAN: "*She stumbles inside, eyes glazed over*. ...you should have locked the door...you would all be safe, then..."

LUV: "*Luv scrounges up a blanket and some food* "That is a very good point...but with the door locked I wouldn't have been able to see your wonderful face" *Luv smiles and sets them down near Ilan incase she would like*"

ILLAN: "*as Illan sits, she glances towards Luv, a ghost of a smirk touching the corners of her mouth* ...you can convince stone to move before you, Velosken, but...my face should not be the last thing you see...*Illan shudders an aching breath before noticing the food. She pounces and begins devouring the rations*.

They then sat in silence as Luv watched on to this magnificent figure and had her heart ache as she pondered on options to help.

Powers and Abilities

• Elemental Resilience: Due to Luv's elementalist abilities, she suffers no damage from natural extremes of heat/cold and half damage from magical sources of those types.
• Elemental Blast: Luv can hurl an element of any kind she deems fitting to either knock out a hostile or create an exciting show for others to watch/partake in.
• Harbinger's Face: Being a changeling, Luv is able to change their appearance at will.

• Henchkeeper: Has a henchman named Throk

Attacks and Weapons 

• Short Sword: Not Luv's ideal weapon but one that they keep on their person incase they no longer have access to their magic and have no way to talk their way out of a situation.
• Small Shield: Luv's preferred way of defense in dire situations

• Throughout the years Luv befriends multiple of their peers:
  • Forgo: a primarily male-presenting changeling, who prefers his pale moss covered human persona.
    • Known for his obsession with the history of other personas. He has a particular fondness for the tales of one known as “Rivan” (mainly due to the name being attached to many heroic acts but having it’s use tragically be cut off after the Black Hollow burning).
    • Luv befriended him when she found him in the forest rushing back and forth between reading a history book and acting out the characters. She helped make the process easier by taking turns reading/acting.
    • Their friendship usually consists of hangouts where they talk about changeling history, interview elder changelings, and play pretend.
  • Klick: primarily female-presenting changeling who prefers to be in the persona of a half tiefling / half kenku being.
    • Known for her troublesome nature. Takes a great amount of enjoyment from playing harmless pranks on others and trying to see how long she can pretend to be other children before their parents notice. Occasionally breaks into other people’s homes to place her carvings.
    • Luv befriended her when she found Klick impersonating her to ask out someone that Klick liked. Luv found the whole thing amusing and asked Klick why she would do that when she was already stunning as is.
