There are places in the ruins of Earth: 2250 where the wind does not blow, yet the air whispers. Where campfires burn lower, but shadows stretch longer. And where survivors sometimes hear a voice — calm, cutting, and distant — telling them to rise, fight, forgive… or fall. They call him Lucian, the Hollow Voice.

In life, Lucian was a tribal monk, the last spirit-keeper of a once-great people who vanished during the first dimensional ruptures. His soul refused to pass on, tethered not by regret — but by duty. Now, he walks not as flesh, but as breath in motion, a phantom formed of memory, purpose, and will.

Lucian is a Spirit Monk, a guardian of balance in a world broken by chaos. Though he no longer bears physical weight, his presence carries ancient authority. His invisibility allows him to observe unseen. His teleportation lets him appear where wisdom is most needed — or vengeance most deserved. And with shapeshifting, he becomes whatever the lesson requires: elder, hunter, beast, wind.

He is a guide and mentor, especially to lost travelers, children of war, and broken warriors. He speaks in parables, sometimes in silence, and other times in riddles sharp enough to draw blood. His goal is always healing — not of the body, but of the world’s wounded spirit.

But not even the dead are without flaw.

Lucian’s wisdom is immense, but so too is his pride. He believes few know better. His arrogance is masked by poise, but it runs deep — a conviction that his way is the right way. His temper is fearsome, manifesting in spiritual tremors, psychic storms, or the sudden severing of a conversation with nothing but a cold silence.

Some say Lucian once appeared in the burning wastes of Kalen's Pit, reshaped the form of a mad warlord into a mirror, and left him to argue with himself until death. Others claim he stood against a corrupted Mage Lord, whispering the man’s deepest sins aloud until the foe took his own life from shame.

Lucian no longer seeks followers — he seeks echoes. Echoes of balance, of forgiveness, of restoration. He appears at dusk and vanishes before dawn. He speaks only to those who listen, and teaches only those who risk their own hollowing.

As the Reckoning draws the veil ever thinner between worlds, Lucian, the Hollow Voice, remains one of the last true spiritual forces still bound to Earth — a watchful soul, flickering between salvation and judgment, ready to be heard.
