Dogma of Kossuth: Those fit to succeed will do so. Kossuth's faith is innately superior to all other faiths, particularly that of Istishia. Fire and purity are the same. Smoke is produced by air in its jealousy. The reward of successful ambition is power. Reaching a higher state is inevitably accomplished by difficulty and personal pain of some sort. Kossuth sends his pure fire to cleanse us all and temper our souls so that we can achieve a pure state. Expect to be tested, and rise to the challenge, no matter what difficulty and pain it brings. Those above you have proven their worth and deserve your service. Guide others to Kossuth's pure light so that he may reforge all life into its essential form.
** Renewal Domain **
If you fall below 0 hit points, you regain a number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your Charisma modifier. This supernatural ability functions once per day. If an attack brings you to -10 or fewer hit points, you die before this power takes effect.
1st - Charm Person: Makes on person your friend.
** Suffering Domain **
You may use pain touch as a spell-like ability once per day. To deliver a pain touch, you must succeed on a melee touch attack against a living creature (using the rules for touch spells). If you hit, your touch bestows a -2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity on the target for 1 minute. Creatures that are immune to critical hits are also immune to this effect.
1st - Bane: Enemies take -1 on attack rolls and saves against fear.[/sblock]

PERSONALITY: Lucan tends to be on the quiet side. Perhaps a result of his upbringing in the Goruka fighting pits, he prefers to let his actions do the talking. The pit fighters of Goruka, in general, and Lucan in particular, have long been drawn to the simple self determinism of Kossuth. There is a saying among them; "Those that put themselves in the hands of Fate soon find themselves passed on into the hands of the gravedigger."
BACKGROUND: Born in Oludan, a formerly independent kingdom since conquered by Goruka... taken as a slave at age 7, along with his sister Taisa... Master Rogolka made him a house servant, served for 7 years until Rogolka got into the gladiator business... Rogolka trained Lucan in combat and sent him to the arena to fight for money... though Rogolka bet against the boy early on, eventually Lucan became a winner and made the slaver lots of cash... escaped arena pens and made it all the way across the wilds to the outskirts of Shillen. At Carodan Keep he was hired on as a scout for Warden Ricsten.
There are many faiths worshipped in the fighting pits of Goruka, and many schools of fighting. The Way of the Flame is both a school and faith born out of the dogma of Kossuth. Self reliance is common among the pit fighters, but for the followers of Kossuth, it is a central tenent. The practitioners of the way of the Flame seek to free themselves from the need for any weapons, armour or equipment.
One of Lucan's first mentors was a bugbear follower of the Flame. The bugbear saw in Lucan the combination of strength, dexterity and strength of mind needed to succeed as a Flame warrior. The bugbear began Lucan's training, the first of several masters Lucan was to have in his time in the fighting pits of Goruka. Through dedication, skill and luck, Lucan survived those first few years that are often fatal for those following the Way of the Flame. For the skills and disciples of the Way do not come quickly, and followers can easily find themselves outmatched by fighters favouring the more conventional styles of fighting.
