A blazing heart within the Night Court, Saang Lusce is as loved as he is misunderstood. Winning the affections and endearing others to himself is his game, but what goal he's playing toward no one can really say. He is oddly placed among his fae brethren in the Night Court, yet somehow he has yet to allow his light to be smothered by it.

Though his full name is Saang-Lusce ("sang loo-shay"), he prefers to be called just Saang. Those familiar with him have come to call him any number of nicknames and pet names, including but not limited to: Lulu, Sashay, Sing-Saang, Lucy, and General Smoochay.

Saang has yet to get offended.

Though not as tall as many of the high Lords of the noble Duanann families, Saang Lusce commands a noteworthy presence and garners the attention of others with little effort no matter where he goes. Heralded by the blaze of his bright scarlet hair, Saang presents himself as the embodiment of the flame. His eyes maintain a brilliant flame-kissed golden hue that readily conveys every emotion stirring beneath the surface - both malignant and benign. Though sporting a warriors physique, there is something curiously feminine and regal about the man. The lines of his silhouette are refined and his taste in fashion beyond his armor is always on the forefront of new fads and styles.

Emotion.

A curiously powerful Affinity to have, it grants Saang Lusce a mastery of empathy. He can sense emotion in others as easily as he can read a book, which allows him to play ball in the Court quite easily. As if taking a test and already knowing all the answers. He can also instill and inject emotion into others. The intensity of said emotion, and the breadth of targets determine the amount of energy and concentration required.

But one-on-one with another? It's rather easy. Only those who are intimately familiar with and in control of their own psyche and emotions are able to block his efforts. Or those who have mastered control of their minds.

His Prince readily uses Saang on the battlefront to command the Kelpies - Saang Lusce is one of the only fae they will readily listen to beyond the Prince himself. He is also useful to keep close for diplomatic sessions, negotiations, and extracting information from others. Saang can use his power as a form of lie detection - though it is possible to fool even him if one is well enough in control of their own emotions.

Sustained efforts of his Affinity power will drain mental, physical, and emotional energy from Saang Lusce to the point that he becomes an ill husk of himself. This state is quite debilitating and can take days, if not weeks, to recover from. The process of recovery can be bolstered by siphoning emotional energy off others, but only those who willingly give it.

It is said that because Saang Lusce feels so strongly and deeply (he has been known to be quite melodramatic about things), it's impossible for him to commit. Mostly this is just said by angry exes, of which there are many.

While not often spoken of in public, Saang Lusce was not particularly well aligned for any celestial body on the day of his birth. Born during a full lunar eclipse of the sun, with both moons hiding in the shadow of the inferno in the sky, he enjoys draws a boon in his power when all three bodies (both moons and the sun) are in the sky above. Unfortunately, this is not a hugely common thing.

One of those rare instances of dual-affinities, Saang Lusce's is rarer yet given the opposing nature of the powers he commands. Both Fire and Water fashion themselves to him in equal balance, allowing him to grow masterful in neither. Given the nature of this duality, Saang Lusce cannot be burned nor can he drown - but where other duanann who might claim full affinity to Fire and find extreme weakness against water, Saang Lusce does not.

His main weakness is the cold and the dry - as such, living in the Tundra has not been kind on him

A social butterfly, Saang Lusce is happiest when he is in the hum of the hive. Thriving off the complicated energies one finds while in a life at Court, Saang can swim the currents of society with practiced ease. Most everyone he comes across adores him, and no one (that knows him) is quite sure if that's due to his charming, open nature and ability to carry a conversation on just about any subject, or if he's simply playing everyone for a fool with his Affinity power.

A rare thing within the Night Court, Saang Lusce has no distaste for any kind of fae and will readily engage with all types regardless of station. This allows him to move among the ranks generally unhindered. His reputation is not one of violence or strength, but of equal opportunity. Though Saang is exceptionally trained with a sword and a skilled warrior, it's not his deeds on the battlefield that has won him his affections from others.

He adores animals and keeps a large variety as pets. Though most of them are feral and wild, Saang's ability to engender trust and affection within them towards him allows him to call most any animal he meets his pet.
