Lugia

Lugia is a legendary Elemental from New Johto.

Appearance
Lugia is a normal sized, very skinny man with big dark red eyes and a healthy, tan skintone. His white hair reaches up to his shoulders with his bangs usually covering his right eye. He has two very long streaks of hair as well, sometimes styled in a bun.

Personality
Lugia, despite being timid, shy and weakwilled has a big heart. He's highly empathetic and sensitive, always putting others before his own good. Due to this being mistreated and exploited is something he got used to since an early age. He depends on someone to protect him.

Surprisingly his self-esteem is pretty low- mostly because of the way his mother and his first boyfriend treated him. Working as a model makes him happy since he gets to feel pretty during it. He's very defensive when someone questions his career choices.

Story
Lugia was born in New Johto far away from Enjushi. Due to his upcoming responsibility to pray for the country's safety his parent's had to move to Enjushi's wealthy district and close to the Bell and Brass Towers shortly after his birth. He grew up relatively normal under his strict parents and even went to a private school.

At age ten both he and Ho-Oh received special lessons by New Johto's priests, preparing them for their prayings. Unlike Ho-Oh, Lugia enjoyed his responsibility and turned out to be the more reliable of the two in the following years. He and Ho-Oh even talked sometimes, developing a relationship similiar to classmates who happen to get along.

A turning point in his life was 6 years later, the day Ho-Oh burned one of the towers. Lugia, as the older and more relieable one was supposed to watch him and make sure he fulfills his role as one of Johto's deities. Having to watch Ho-Oh's punishment, his back being whipped by an old lash, he quickly agreed to marry him as an adult, making sure he always has an eye on him then. Feeling guilty he visited Ho-Oh a lot and tried to get closer to him to make the arrangement the other boy didn't know about yet easier for both of them. At one point, they even shared their awkward first kiss. All seemed to go along well until Ho-Oh was told about his future with Lugia. Feeling lied to by him, Ho-Oh yelled at Lugia and told him to leave him alone and never come back again.

Lugia's mother, who already was disgusted by her son seeing a poor boy reacted to Lugia's heartbreak by arranging him a boyfriend and possible future husband, a senior from Lugia's school and the son of a co-worker of hers. Not wanting to be with him but being unable to say no to his mother Lugia stayed with him for three years in a toxic relationship. During this time he always did his best to get closer to Ho-Oh again, sticking to the promise he made to the priests. Stressed by the relationship and the situation with Ho-Oh Lugia grew more and more silent, something even Ho-Oh realised. After being told about the way his boyfriend treated him Ho-Oh beat Lugia's boyfriend up - who ended his relationship with him the same day.

Since then things have been getting better. Lugia started modeling after an agent contacted him and even got another, nicer boyfriend chosen by his mother. Despite this, at age 26, he followed the priests plan and moved together with Ho-Oh and ended the relationship with his current boyfriend.

Ho-Oh
Ho-Oh and Lugia have known each other for 16 years and have been engaged for 10 of it. Lugia always liked Ho for being free to do whatever he likes and having many friends his age. As a young teenager he crushed a bit on him.

After they moved together the relationship of the two has been tense. Ho-Oh felt anger towards everything and everyone and Lugia was being too clingy and needy, making the situation for both of them worse. After many weeks of conflicts both learned to understand and respect the other one and live together peacefully most of the time. Ho-Oh seems eager to protect Lugia from unfair treatment and considers him a good friend while Lugia enjoys playing the role of a traditional housewife for him, trying to make Ho-Oh feel more comfortable with the direction his life took. Their marriage is set to be in a few months.

His Mother
While Lugia's mother has been his role model for his whole life she didn't treat him well. Even at a young age she forced clothes and beauty treatments on him to make him as pretty as possible, crushing his self-esteem in the process. Even today she makes sure he doesn't gain any weight, despite him being quite underweight.

Ho-Oh's Mother
Ho-Oh's mother and Lugia get along well. Having 5 sons she enjoys havibg someone more feminine around from time to time. She makes sure Ho-Oh treats him well, even if it means scolding her own son.

Ho-Oh's Father
After finding out that his son is engaged to a rich model, Ho-Oh's father has been bothering both from time to time. Wishing for him to leave Ho-Oh alone Lugia gives him money every time he needs it, only asking for it to stay a secret. He's quite scared of his fiance's father.
