Profile
Luso is a good kid at heart. Upbeat, energetic, willing to lend a hand to any in need. But he can also be a prankster and a joker, which has gotten him into more than his fair share of trouble in his own world, in Ivalice, and now in this new amalgamation of worlds.
But at the end of the day, he knows what he wants to do and he will keep his sight straight and his purpose true, working together with his new found family to find out the truth of this world, and all of the others as well!
Background
Luso Clemens was just like any other kid his age. More worried about playing with his friends rather than studying. Prone to pranks and acting out. All in good nature of course. After all, he wasn't a bad kid. Not by a long shot. But this would be downfall eventually. On the last day of school, he landed himself in.......detention. On the LAST day of school! What sort of evil being does that!?
Alas, he was sentenced to the gravest of punishments; helping Mr. Randell clean the school library! Are you serious? That place is a mess! It's impossible! But no one was going to hear him out, so there was only one thing to do; get to work! The faster he got this over with, the sooner he'd be out and living out the springtime of his youth!
As the boy set about his task, he eventually came upon a rather curious object. A strangely designed book of all things. It looked like it didn't belong anywhere near this place. Of course his curiosity was piqued. Momentarily forgetting his initial task, Luso sat down and opened the book to have a look. What he found was....a whole lot of nothing. The only text in the entire book was a simple inscription.
"Ye, Whose eyes pass over the text before ye. I entreat ye, provide for me the name of the one who will finish this tome."
Being the genius he was, Luso wrote his own name down into the book. He was rewarded with a burst of energy, sucking him in and then transporting the hapless boy to the world of Ivalice. ...Right in the middle of a heated battle with a Mark courtesy of Clan Gully. Cid, the leader of Clan Gully, realizing the danger Luso was in, immediately had him join the clan, summoning a judge to help the process along. Luso, being the clueless boy from another world that he was, found himself predictably awed at this display of magic. But there was no time to waste!
And with that, Luso's adventure in the land of Ivalice would begin.
Over time, he would gain experience, traveling across the land, meeting new people, taking down marks, and building the clan's reputation while also trying to find out the truth of the grimoire and find a way back home.
Things seemed to be sailing smoothly for a time until the creatures of the dark began to slip into the world. More and more Marks were for taking down these strange creatures; the heartless. Little does anyone know that this is the work of Illua, the Nightshade. She summons these creatures into Ivalice from the realm of darkness, jealous of Luso's own Grimoire and seeking the power to be gained from within the darkness.
It soon spirals out of control, flooding the world and then...finally Ivalice falls.
Luso eventually finds himself awakening in Fluorgis, alone and his key clanmates scattered across the worlds. Now he must work to find his friends, combat the darkness, maintain Clan Gully, and find a way home. All while doing many a good deed along the way.
It's going to be a wild ride.

Grimoire Pages Filled
As major events happen, The Grimoire of The Rift will magically fill it's own empty pages with the tales of Luso's deeds, providing a detailed account of his adventures thus far. With the merging of the worlds, the grimoire will no doubt have plenty of material to record in the coming days...
Luso personally does not know the true extent of what the filling of these pages means. But according to Lezaford, if he continues on in this manner, he will eventually gather enough power to send himself back home. However with the worlds as out of joint as they are now, one wonders if that power still holds true...
There's only one way to find out!
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| The Battle of Manhattan | "Fought valiantly alongside many heroes in order to defend Manhattan from the forces of darkness. In the end, they were unsuccessful, but they managed to allow many civilians to escape through the portal through their efforts still. They can be proud of that at least." |
| Soul Eating Sword | "Defeated the Soul Devourer Heartless and discovered the Sword of Engulfing Shadow; Apocalypse. Though tremendously powerful, Luso forewent adding the blade to his collection and allowed Faruja to take it into church custody." |

| Persistent Chocobo | "With the help of the others, finally took down the Black Chocobo, ending it's warpath across the western continent. The people can breath easier now." |
| A Gathering of Heroes | "Met with Merlin beneath Traverse town to discuss the state of Manhatten as a 'protected world', as well as the nature of the world shards, the method to restore lost worlds, locking the world heart, and finally; the Keyblade itself. There is a lot to think about from this point on..." |
| Liberation of The Dead | "Took down yet another Soul Devourer in the Phantom Forest. It was a trial, but it was all for the greater good of allowing the souls of those who passed away in Manhattan to go to their resting places." |
| The Judge's Test | "Faced off against the fabled Judge of Nocturne. Luso managed to defeat him with the held of his friends, and obtained Luabreaker for his efforts." |

| In Defense of Fluorgis | "Expelled the dark cloud gathering over Fluorgis, liberating the city from the shadows that would have consumed it." |

Inventory
| Item | Acquired | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kotetsu | Start | Luso's favored weapon for quick strikes. It's easy to draw and slash in the same motion with. Making clear use of Luso's experience with the Paravir Discipline |
| Ogun Blade | Start | A sword with a bright orange blade. Luso tends to favor this blade for solo use, bearing down with quick, violent strikes. Showing evidence of his experience with the Pugilist Discipline. |
| Kwigon Blade | Start | Luso's most used weapon. It is balanced for either quick or heavy attacks. It is also one of the first good weapons that Luso ever obtained on his own, so it holds some sentimental value to him. |
| Flametongue | Start | A long sword that emits a blazing flame from the blade. Luso tends to favor this sword when using debilitating strikes. He also favors dual wielding Kotetsu in combination with this sword. |
| Luabreaker | Obtained from Judge of Nocturne | A long, wide sword that Luso obtained from the Judge of Nocturne after his defeat. It is on the heavy side though, so dual wielding attacks will be lopsided between quick, light strikes, and then a single heavy blow from this blade. |
| Matamune Fishing Rod | Obtained from Gilgamesh | A supremely, unmatched, legendary, all powerful....fishing rod? Um... |
| Apocalypse | Destroyed | A sword of terrible darkness. Just holding it feels like some evil force is threatening to seep into your body and corrupt you. Fortunately, the presence of Excalibur keeps Apocalypse's power at bay. Currently in the hands of the Church of Glabados. Confirmed to have been destroyed by the hands of the Inquisitors. |
| Excalibur | Start | Luso's most powerful weapon. It is unknown how exactly he got his hands on this legendary weapon, but he rarely uses it. When Excalibur is drawn, you can be sure that Luso is going for a big attack. Another interesting note is that Luso forms 'The Blade of The Rift' out of the energy that Excalibur emits. Truly a legendary weapon. |
| Seemingly endless pile of potions. | Start | No matter where he is or what he's doing, Luso always seems to have a handful of potions handy. A good thing too as he cannot use healing spells. He passed on learning magic, allowing his clanmates to take that up in his stead. |
| Grimoire of The Rift | Start | A mysterious tome that is always slung at Luso's waist. It does not seem to have a whole lot of actual value at first glance, but Luso treats it like an irreplaceable object. He will never allow himself to lose this book. As it is his only way back to his own world. |
Combat
Luso's fighting style consists of him utilizing the many swords he has on his person in various combinations. He has experience with many Hume related classes such as Soldier, Paladin, Paravir, Ninja, Pugilist, and Archer. He does not stick to just one single discipline of combat when in a fight, but rather, he combines everything he knows into one unique style of battle.
Some may call it over the top, but his skill cannot be denied. Even with the way he carries himself, his speed is top notch and his strength is much the same. As evidenced by his ability to dual wield most of his weapons in combination with each other with relative ease. His strikes can range anywhere from swift and light, to forceful and deadly in the blink of an eye.
But despite his skill, Luso still has much to learn in the ways of the warrior. His unorthodox style has carried him this far, but surely, there is a limit to what he himself can do alone...
Relations
Allies
| Name | Thoughts |
|---|---|
| Cid | He's the one who took me into Clan Gully to begin with! I owe him a lot! And I won't soon forget it! |
| Adelle | A good friend and ally. Can be kind of a jerk, and a money grubber, and she's got a foul mouth sometimes, and she stole all our money that one time, and I don't even know how she escaped that one Mark that time, and did I mention she's a jerk? ...But she's still okay. I hope we can all meet up soon and get back to taking down Marks and completing quests like usual...Where the heck are you guys? |
| Hurdy | Hurdy's got some great tunes! I kinda miss just sitting back and listening to him play now... |
| Frimelda | She's been through a lot, being betrayed by her former ally, becoming a zombie, and then wandering Jylland lost. We managed to help cure her! She's a phenomenal swordsman and I'm glad she's on our side! |
| Lezaford | Old Man Lezaford. He knows almost anything there is to know about everything! It's crazy! His advice has been instrumental in our journeys so far! They also say he created the laws that the judges uphold. ...How old IS he? |
| Ezel Berbier | A shifty looking Nu Mou who always seems like he's up to no good. ...Well okay, maybe he IS up to no good, but I don't have any proof! And he's helped us out before, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt! |
| Witch of The Fens | She's a great help, but...I get a weird vibe from her. And it's not because she's a witch! |
| Ramza Beoulve | There was this one time I managed to get surrounded by a bunch of behemoths. Luckily Ramza appeared and we showed them what's what! Couldn't have made it out even half as easily if you weren't there. Thanks for that! And if you need any help in the future, I'm there! |
| Faruja Senra | He helped me take down the Mark in the Petrified Forest. He's really strong and he's got some good skills! Kinda an ear sore on all the church stuff though. But still, if there was anyone that I'd trust with my back, it'd be him! |
| Minerva | I met her in Manhattan when we teamed up to face that weirdo guy in the suit. She's an awesome fighter! Thanks for the help! |
| Leida | She seems to have settled into the Shard Seekers pretty well. I'm happy for her. |
| Reize Seatlan | Perpetual girl magnet, and someone who I'm proud to call one of my good friends. Dude, you've gotta do something about all those girls around you though! And you've gotta stop letting Lily and Lenn protect you, ahahaha! |
| Lily | She may be a kid, but she's got the magic power of a full blown magus! ...And she's almost perpetually stuck to Reize. Where does he find all these girls? Is he kidnapping them? |
| Lenn | Reize's.....fiancee!? Seriously? Dude, you're like my age! Why the heck are you engaged!? But despite that, Lenn's kind and she seems to care a lot about Reize and the other Shard Seekers. Her magic skills with those gems are pretty impressive too. Having her supporting in the back certainly makes any combat situation easier. |
| Kaydin | Man, I haven't seen him in a while. I know he left Baron, but that doesn't mean he should have just dropped off the face of the earth now! |
Adversary
| Name | Thoughts |
|---|---|
| Ewen | We'll make you pay for hurting Cid, sneaking around, and causing all sorts of ridiculous trouble! |
| LEXUS | Some weirdo that was up to no good at all in Manhattan! I couldn't beat him...His powers weren't like anything I've seen before. Sorry guys. |
| Captain Hook | Some ridiculous pirate captain. He showed up, trying to destroy the portal to Manhattan! Gah, just thinking about him annoys me! |
| Scarmiglione | You can try again and again and again! You'll never get the Fire Crystal! ...Also he needs a bath. |
| Emperor Mateus | There's always going to be someone like me around to stop someone like you from doing whatever you please! |
| Seith | Strange elf dude who blindsided me after I took down Mister Golden Fairy. That was a cheap move! I demand a rematch! |
Acquaintances
| Name | Thoughts |
|---|---|
| Cirra Constantine | An Archadian Judge. She seems pretty skilled in the way of combat and she knows a lot about the way things work. Maybe I should find her if I need advice sometime! |
| Evja | Whatever happened to you, don't worry about it! Just keep your head up and work towards a better tomorrow! I'll do what I can to help. |
| Gilgamesh | Some weirdo I ran into in Rabanastre. I think his dog might be smarter than him. But more than that...He's got a TON legendary weapons! I won our duel and I got left...a fishing rod. |
| Aerith Gainsborough | It seems like every time I meet her, she's going through some training. You sure are working hard, aren't you? Well, I'm not gonna get left behind either! |
| Kamon Lionward | You've got guts! I saw the way you took down your heartless in the mirror world! Never stop looking forward! |
| Riku | This guy just rejected the Heartless like it was nothing at all! Who the heck ARE you? |
| Raiya Fujihara | We teamed up along with Minerva to fight the evil guys! Another amazing fighter! I never did get her name, but we'll definitely meet again! I can get it then, right? |
| Pixi | She's really, REALLY tall. Man, it's kinda embarrassing standing next to her... |
| Skoll Ulfang | I won't rest until my life's goal is finally complete. Getting a hookshot from you! |
| Shadow | A ninja(?) I met with Reize and the others. Looks suspicious at first glance, but he's not so bad when you actually talk to him. His dog, Interceptor's pretty cool too. They seem like a powerful team! |
| Tifa Lockhart | Ran into her at the Chocobo Ranch after one of them stole my hat! She's a nice person. Really helpful too. I feel kinda bad for her though. It seems like she's really tried to help people, but got let down... |
| Katyna Redsvaren | She's funny, and she's a member of that VALKRYI group. I've heard about them. I'm looking forward to working with you! |
| Shiki Misaki | She's got a good head on her shoulders. Seems a bit exasperated whenever I see her though. Maybe she should loosen up? I dunno. |
| Yurita | A girl who seems to be enamored with Reize, unsurprisingly enough. Dude's gotta learn to say no. Anyway, not much else I know about her though, sadly. She doesn't seem like a bad person though, I guess. |
