Lykon (LYE-kon)

Luka Elsod

Lykon Elsod (a.k.a. Luka)

You may call me Lykon, or Luka in more familiar circles. A strategist by nature and a historian by passion, my essence is a tapestry woven from the threads of history's most cunning architects. A Capricorn's patience and a mind sharpened like a Gemini's wit are my tools as I navigate life's chessboard.
The outdoors is my arena, not as a conqueror but as a scholar of its enduring tales. I trek not just for the challenge of the ascent but to walk the paths carved by legions past. My leisure is spent in the hushed corridors of libraries, among the dusty scrolls that whisper the secrets of ancient tactics and strategies.
In my workshop, wood and chisel meet in a dance of creation—a metaphor for my approach to life, where every piece serves a purpose, every action a calculated step towards a greater design. My skin bears the sun's kiss, a testament to many days spent in the embrace of the natural world, and my hair, a dark cascade, unruly as the shifting tides of power I study.
For companionship, I value the currency of intellect and reliability. I gravitate towards those who approach life with a blend of foresight and fortitude, individuals who understand that history is not just to be studied, but to be learned from, and who can stand firm when the winds of fortune shift.
Yes, ambition sometimes colors my decisions, and competitiveness can get the best of me—but it's all part of the cut and thrust of existence. After all, isn't life the grandest strategy game?
I'm on the lookout for someone who sees life's nuances, who finds intrigue in the interplay of thought and action, and who isn't averse to a friendly spar of wits or words. In quieter moments, you’ll find me engrossed in treatises on warcraft or perfecting my strategic play, always sharpening my mind as one would a blade.
If your spirit is drawn to the intellectual duel, to the beauty of a well-laid plan, and to the richness of history lived and not just read, then you and I are already on the same side. Let us exchange banter by the glow of a fire, craft our legacies with intent, and engage in the great debate of strategy that stands the test of time.

Special abilities

• Strategic Foresight: Lykon possesses the ability to foresee the most strategic moves in any situation, especially in conflicts. He uses this foresight to advise or guide others without revealing the source of his wisdom.

Inherent Divine Abilities

• Immortality: The gods are ageless and cannot die by conventional means. To maintain secrecy, they often live in hidden or shifting locations, or periodically assume new identities to avoid arousing suspicion over their unchanging appearance.
• Shapeshifting: Gods can change their form at will, allowing them to blend into different societies or environments. This power is used discreetly to avoid drawing attention, such as adopting the guise of different people over the ages or turning into animals in inconspicuous situations.
• Superhuman Strength: This power is used with caution, as overt displays can reveal their divine nature. When necessary, gods might disguise their strength as remarkable human feats, still within the realm of human possibility, or use their strength in situations where they are not observed.
• Self-Healing Powers: Gods can heal themselves from injuries instantly, but they do so in private to avoid revealing their divine nature. In situations where they are hurt in the presence of mortals, they might retreat to a hidden location to heal.
• Flight: When gods fly, they become invisible to ensure they are not seen by mortals. This power is often used for quick, undetected travel or to reach places inaccessible by other means.
• Dreams: Communication between gods is conducted through dreams to avoid physical meetings that could be witnessed. This method allows them to exchange information and make decisions without leaving any tangible evidence of their interaction.
• Divine Inspiration: Gods inspire mortals by planting thoughts or ideas in their minds, particularly in individuals who are already creatively or intellectually inclined. This inspiration is subtle, often perceived by the mortal as a sudden stroke of genius or an epiphany, without realizing the divine influence behind it.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born from Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, who sought to channel her strategic intellect into a new being. She combined her essence with Ares, the god of war, bestowing upon Lykon the wisdom of Athena and the war prowess of Ares.

Sexuality

Very Active--His life is a journey of exploring various emotional connections. While he forms bonds easily, these relationships often grow into deep friendships rather than romantic partnerships. He values the emotional richness of these connections, finding fulfillment in the varied landscapes of human emotion.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Lykon is the noble one in the family. He believs in the rule of law and will follow it to the letter, even if he questions it. The only bad law is one that is immoral or unjust, but believes that change can be made within the system. He resents mankind and sees them as mostly a collection of bad laws which seek to govern others and not to enhance them. He is a follower of divine cosmic law, and as such does not question his role.

Family Ties

Not as objective as Symbel, but pretty darn close. Lykon tries to live by example. This makes his a rock to lean on for others in the family. He will always listen and empathize, without all of that criticism you might get from the others. Unfortunately his naivity can be an easy mark for Cipactli, but for some reason she will almost never try to influence or manipulate Lykon. Like the other, she relies on his optimism and to change that would feel very wrong.

Social Aptitude

Outside of the family, Lykon maintains a sense of duty and idealism, striving to be a role model and protector of justice.

Hobbies & Pets

Theatre, Olympic sports, philosophy

Speech

Lykon communicates in a straightforward, earnest, and sincere manner. He tends to use simple, direct language that reflects his values of honesty and integrity.
(example: Captain America from Marvel)

Gemini

They spin the world on the tip of their tongue. This person lives in stories, jumps between ideas, and never stays still for long. Both mirror and trickster, they offer wisdom through contradiction and delight.
