Character: Lyon
Series: Suikoden V
Age: 16

Canon: We're all familiar with stories set in fantasy worlds. Suikoden V is yet another one of those, this time involving True Runes, 108 Stars of Destiny and an inconvenient war. It starts in the Queendom of Falena, where women inherit the throne and where many consider male royalty only good for marrying off to foreigners. The Prince (otherwise known as the hero of the tale) begins to fight against those who staged a violent coup for the throne, where they do such things as attempting to commit genocide and starving a town already in ruin. In the end, he looked at the kingdom he was finally there, to sit on the throne as the Prince of Bel-Air - I mean, Falena.

Every prince needs a bodyguard, and in this case that duty falls to Lyon, who takes her job of protecting him very seriously -- so seriously in fact, that some people wonder if she follows him into the restroom. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, she is always at the Prince's side as a kind, bright, energetic though ocassionally oblivious young woman who uses her skills as a Queen's Knight's apprentice throughout the war to protect the Prince and his ideals. Usually soft-spoken to the point that many people might overlook her, she can easily get excited or angry at new and unusual situations, especially when it involves His Royal Highness. She does have a dark past, but doesn't allow it to overly affect her every day life, even when she gets [spoiler]ed in the [mcspoiler].

Note: In Suikoden, runes are special items that are equipped to enhance certain abilities.

Oh wow, just look at the scenery! I've never seen anything so - so unique! It's very beautiful, with the bright greens and yellows and... purple! That is supposed to be purple, right? I haven't seen anything like those animals before, but they look - very, very tough! The Rotting Zombies that I keep encountering have been a new experience and while I don't think they'll drop anything valuable when you slay them, I can see why they're included in the training regimen of this camp. I'm looking forward to working more with everyone here.

Oh, I'm sorry! I should have introduced myself. My name is Lyon and I'm here to inquire more about this training camp that we'd received information about. The brochure had mentioned that this Camp F-fuck You Die was excellent in training the "rapiers of tomorrow", as well as "exploring virgin entrances" and an interest in building careers in inter-species relationships! We all thought that in order to promote a united and peaceful culture, we should observe places where species can co-exist peacefully.

I'm aware that to most people, relating to other species may seem like a daunting task. But no matter whether they are beavers, these "gorillas" or the occasional dragon, everyone should have a say in the way that their country, or camp, develops. I'm very pleased to see all the progress that has been made in the area of these relations. There are relationships between the different communities that I doubt anyone could have dreamed of, e-even if some of them do appear to be illegal in Falena. Your wife, sir, she appears to be a dragon-horse . . .

Of course I'm not offended! I'm sure that the two of you will be very happy with each other. But already I can tell that we'll all have a lot to learn from each other! I'm very pleased to meet all of you, and I offer my abilities as a Queen's Knight apprentice to keep things running as smoothly as possible. With this Roaring Assault Protection Enhancement rune that the Amorous Gorilla dropped when I defeated him, I'll help make sure everyone has a good time!

W-wait, what do you mean that's not what the RAPE rune is for?
