Lorrin

Physical Description –

A tall, broad-shouldered Leonin with golden fur brushed back like a windswept mane, that is just begining to show streaks of silver. His armor is well-polished but practical, inscribed with symbols representing different military formations. His polished longsword hums faintly with arcane energy—a prototype weapon he commissioned himself. His intense gaze and perfect posture project an air of command, even when he fumbles the execution.

Personality and Motivation –

Confident, articulate, and a bit theatrical, Lorrin views every battle as a living strategy board. He’s always trying to test new formations or maneuvers, sometimes getting a bit too clever for his own good. Though his sword swings may falter, his mind rarely does. He’s determined to prove that planning and skill wins battles, and that thee is still a place on the modern battlefield for the art of the sword.

• Flaw- However, despite his skills in duels and controlled environments, Lorrin is prone to becoming overwhelmed or discombobulated in the heat of battle or when making decisions under pressure, especially if his own life is in danger.

Fighting Strategy –

Lorrin is not a frontline bruiser. He supports allies with precision strikes, maneuvers, and tactical superiority. He predicts enemy movement, shouts encouragement and strategy to allies, and manipulates the flow of combat. He shines brightest when coordinating the party’s positioning or punishing tactical errors from foes.
