Spring 2010 "Tribe Awards"-----LUKE

The KTDA Council of Tribes "Tribe Awards," honoring our game-characters who parallel the original "Tribe" characters we all know and love.

The Chosen gave us a lot of over-the-top characters. What was surprising was how NOT over the top the character of Luke was portrayed. He was almost...normal?

Luke was one of the Guardian's most trusted lieutenants, and I think I know why. The guy was straight. He was a less crazy face for the Guardian to the public. Kind of like, with the Technos, Jay was a more normal public face for Ram.

But this IS a post-Virus world, and normal is debatable. Luke was a sad figure. That was probably why girls were attracted to him. Salene certainly was. Luke was the one man Ellie chose over Jack and THAT was a total shocker.

A striking man with a troubled past, who carried his distress and sadness with him like an open wound...

That describes Luke, and it very much describes KTDA's Llysander.

Llysander (or Llys) is pretty much normal, as normal goes in our post-Virus game world. He's striking and friendly and courteous. He wants to work and pay his way, not just taking from others. The girls certainly seem drawn to him too.

Mostly he's carrying a lot of sadness and determination...sadness at the state of the world around him, determination to find the missing sister that this crazy, dysfunctional world separated him from.

We hope he finds what he's looking for. We hope he finds all the things he's looking for.
