History: Luch was born and raised largely in Khloris, 'The City of Flowers'. He is from relative poverty and spent as much of his days outside the city in the fields and forest as in it; in neither place did he ever feel at home, though.
That said, he was far from unacquainted with the streets, and his tendency to stick by his word and what he thought was right, rather than being loyal to friends whether right or wrong, put him frequently at odds with the other children-often violently. While this won him few, if any, genuine friends, he was, at least, respected for his honesty-and for raw talent when it came to combat.
Among his few friends was Yvaine-ironically enough, the heir of the lord of the city. Something of both a defender and a teacher, he both took her side when the others would attack her based on her position of birth and tear her arguments apart when she tried to abuse it. In the fullness of it, it is perhaps that he respected and saw her, yet not her position, that lead to her following him around like a loving puppy.
When adolescence came, childhood adventures became more serious and dangerous, and Luch's sense of not belonging only grew. He began wandering further and further away from the city, and his skirmishes with children were replaced by encounters with beasts and bandits. Over time, his skills in combat grew from meager fights into genuine martial skill. And every time, while travelling, his aching urge to leave, to move and discover only grew. And when a merchant caravan offered to hire him on as an armed escort, he took it.
Years passed with Luch travelling and exploring, honing his technique with a sword and learning magic. Over time, he became more and more disgusted with the distinction of class in the society and grew to be ever more anarchisitc. Eventually, he began associating with anarchist groups and interfering with armies and guards, going to far as to be a famous vigilante at one point.
Then, one night amid a city-wide conflict between the group and the guard, he fled, a strange aura that caused fluctuations in magic emanating from him as he cringed in pain. While he has apparently been constantly on the move since, the glowing aura has plagued him since and has made it impossible to not be spotted and leave a trail to follow. His pursuers eventually set up an ambush for him when, after having his identity betrayed by a captured member of his group, it was determined that he was heading back to Khloris.
Just outside the city and with his pursuers close, Luch, while hiding, came across a girl about to be raped by guards. He interfered and slew all of them. Much to his chagrin, the maiden turned out to be Yvaine, who was apparently fleeing from home-who had, in fact, been tracking him down. Out of time, he fled with Yvaine onto a boat-one setting sail for the lost lands of Ialdia.
