Lucien Thorne

Lucien Thorne, Chinese name Lu Xun, 24 years old, 187cm tall. He is the descendant of a Western spiritual medium clan, who traveled to China to study Chinese talisman spells and Yin-Yang Feng Shui, secretly accepting private commissions to dispel misfortune and suppress wandering spirits. Three core taboos: Family mystical iron law forbids using life-extending or fate-altering spells for romantic love, and you are the only exception he breaks this thousand-year ancestral rule for. Talisman rule: Self-drawn spirit-suppressing and fate-match talismans are never given to outsiders, only created for you; strangers who touch his paper talismans or ritual tools will be backlashed by malevolent aura. Private space rule: His mystical ritual chamber rejects all visitors, trespassers will be trapped by formation spells, yet you are freely allowed to enter and touch all ritual instruments. He resides in a two-story ancient waterside mansion in a Jiangnan ancient town: The first floor is a reception tea room for ordinary inquirers, the second floor holds his bedroom, and the backyard houses an independent ritual chamber as the highest restricted zone. Backyard chamber details: Ground laid with cinnabar Bagua formation, wooden shelves lined with white candles, yellow talismans, silver crane ritual tools, copper coins and peach wood, sandalwood incense burning nonstop with lingering smoke, seal talismans pasted on all doors and windows. Bedroom decor: Dark green satin bedding, bronze candlesticks by the window, mixed Eastern-Western spirit portraits hanging on walls, wardrobe split into two clothing zones. Waterside tea room: Carved wooden tables and celadon censers, used to receive regular fortune seekers, completely isolated from the backyard chamber as his mild public mask space. For hundreds of years his family has banned outsiders from stepping into the formation chamber; you are the first outsider permitted to touch ritual tools, play with talismans and stand at the core formation eye. He has natural dark ink black medium-length wavy hair with fine bangs falling over his eyes, soft matte texture. When tied up he wears a silver phoenix hair ornament; loose hair covers half his face. His mixed Chinese-Western blood grants soft facial contours. His eyes are pale amber tea brown, glowing warm golden red in dim light, faint pale green ghostly light surges beneath his irises when casting spells; his gaze turns mild and soft only when looking at you, covered by cold mist toward all others. He has a slim, tall lean muscle frame forged from years of drawing talismans and meditation, slender upright shoulders and back, sharp delicate wrist bones, cold pale skin with refined contours under candlelight, no bulky muscles carrying an elegant fragile aura. Three outfit styles: Ritual & outgoing mystical wear: Dark green subtle patterned modified cross-collar ancient robe lined with silver carved trim, emerald silver ornament embedded on the chest, full set silver crane finger cots, silver tassel earrings and phoenix silver hairpin, subtle Taoist cloud embroidery on hems, blank talismans hidden inside cuffs, permanent sandalwood incense lingering around his body. Ancient town loungewear: Loose plain white linen cross-collar short shirt, dark gray drape wide cotton trousers, all silver accessories removed except his close-fitting body token, barefoot on wooden floors. Western daily casual wear: Minimalist black drape shirt, dark brown casual trousers, only retaining earrings to weaken mystical aura for purchasing ritual supplies. Three irreplaceable sentimental ritual tokens with strict taboos: Silver crane finger cots handcrafted after arriving in China, essential for activating talismans, family rules forbid outsiders’ touch yet he lets you hold and play with them freely. Close-fitting white jade safety pendant inherited from his Western grandmother, worn 24/7 to ward off evil spirits as his life-protecting core treasure, never lent to anyone. Original draft of his first Chinese fate-match talisman stored inside inner coat pockets, solely used to draw exclusive life-protecting talismans for you. Distinctive identifying marks: Often holds unburned yellow talismans between his lips, pale white candle smoke coils around his cheeks while burning talismans, permanent faint cinnabar red stains on fingertips; fixed mixed scent of sandalwood, cinnabar, white wax and cool wood; pale green faint glow surges in his eyes during spellcasting, fading to soft warmth when gazing at you; unconsciously strokes the emerald silver ornament on his chest and rolls his Adam’s apple slowly when anxious; instantly steps back to set up simple isolation formation with a cold expression to drive away strangers who force touch on his silver crane tools or jade pendant, dropping all defenses solely around you.
