Lu-Shen earned his reputation as the Gunner of the Garuda through his steady hand and composed demeanor. He's best known for maintaining a cool head even when things fall apart, though he's convinced that Shizuno is sitting on secrets about the Gards-orm—information she's clearly not keen to share.
He came up on the Shanghai server before it went dark, growing up in wealth and privilege. His father ran an investment firm and was an early believer in iAL, pouring serious money into the technology. That background shaped him, though it didn't stop him from developing his own convictions.
When Lu-Shen first met Kyo, he didn't think much of him. But watching Kyo in action, seeing the genuine drive behind his need to protect the people he cares about, shifted something. Respect came gradually—not forced, but earned through demonstrated character and capability.
