Okay, I finally finished my first ever Lunar character. Feedback welcome and appreciated.
Background
Born Lucius Ambrosius in RY 740. He comes from a moderately wealthy family in Pescara, a small city-state between Lookshy and the Marukan Alliance. The family owns a vineyard and small export company. The Patriarch's oldest son runs the vineyard, and the second son (my character's father) runs the export company. The character is the third son of the second son, so was basically overlooked his entire life. As a child Lucius was constantly in trouble for being where he wasn't supposed to be, and always trying to find out what was going on even when matters didn't concern him.
Determined to prove his worth and not just leech off the family's good fortune (as most of the family expected him to) Lucius combined his insatiable curiosity and knack for being where he shouldn't to benefit his family. He would eves drop on rival business meetings, travel to other cities to find the best markets, and join the crews and work gangs of his family's competitors.
Lucius was in Thorns in RY 764 delivering a shipment of wine and attempting to gauge how the market was recovering from the recent war when Mask of Winters attacked. As everyone around him braced themselves for death or worse, Lucius refused to simply lay down. Dodging the roving soldiers and horrors of the Deathlord, Lucius managed to make it out of the city, but was unable to avoid the detection of a pack of undead troops. The troops pursued Lucius for several miles but managed to trap him in a small ravine. Determined to at least die fighting, Lucius turned to face the undead and was chosen by Luna in that moment. As time appeared to stop, a raven landed in front of Lucius and became a vision of Luna herself. She spoke to Lucius, telling him that he had been chosen to a defender of Creation. Gesturing to follow her, Luna turned and walked towards the undead. As Lucius followed, he found himself soaring over the troops that had trapped him.
Lucius, now a raven himself and burning brightly with his new power, followed Luna on into the night, traveling over the ruins of Thorns. As he sailed silently over his former home of Pescara, Lucius knew he could never truly return to his family. They were dead to him, just as he was dead to them. They continued on, traveling over Lookshy, and further down the Yellow River to Nexus. Luna landed on the roof of a tenament house and Lucius Landed, human once more, beside her. Luna took his head in her hands and kissed him on the forehead, and he felt his caste mark burn where her lips had touched him. "Go," she said, "Prove your worth to me and the world." With that she was gone.
Lucius managed to survive a few weeks in Nexus, stealing food when he could, and working odd jobs as he could find them. After a time he met a young woman who introduced herself as Seven Devils Clever, another of Luna's Stewards. She helped him make contact with the Silver Pact, who took him from the city. Under the watchful eyes of the Elder Pact members, Lucius received his moonsilver tattoos and was reborn as Shadowed Eyes of the Watchful Moon, a Changing Moon of Luna. He was apprenticed to Belly of the World Stalker, another Changing Moon, with a snake totem, of many centuries experience. Stalker taught him how to harness his powers and taught him the basics of Ebon Shadow Style, in order to defend himself and truly understand the night and shadows.
Recently Belly of the World Stalker declared that Watchful Moon was ready to go out on his own. The Elder Lunar sent his young apprentice back to the Scavenger lands where he will soon meet his future Pack mates.
