Trimmed in gold with a jade green sash around waist and symbol printed around left side of shirt. Loose white pants over white joggers with jade green laces.
 * Background: Born the only child of a police officer and a cleaner at a hotel. Lin’s father was killed in a hostage situation gone wrong when Lin was 3, and his mother moved the two of them into his grandfather, Dian’s house so she wouldn’t have to worry about Lin while she worked. Dian had been a Huntsman when he was younger, though after he lost an arm a few years before Lin was born he retired to be closer to his family.
 * They lived fairly comfortably off Dian’s pension, with his mother providing a little bit of extra spending money on the side with her work. Lin was a bright and eager child, always eager to learn new things. He grew up on tales of Dian’s experiences as a Huntsman and his father’s deeds as a police officer, and when he declared he was going to be a Huntsman just like his grandfather, Dian fully supported the idea. His mother was unsure about the choice in career, but after whining on Lin’s part and prodding from Dian she relented, and Dian started teaching Lin basic sword techniques and exercises meant to help him grow use to his body and how it moved but not stunt his growth.
 * When he entered a combat academy Dian gifted him with his old weapon Canlan, telling Lin it was his now. Lin was awed by the weapon that had been so central in a lot of his grandfather’s tales, and has taken good care of it since, becoming very reluctant to even modify it despite various teachers actively encouraging him to either do so or create his own weapon. His grandfather occasionally makes suggestions, but Lin has yet to actually implement any.
 * Personality: Bright and eager to learn, he is a hands on learner and very much a team player. Cheerful and good humoured, he doesn’t get riled up easily and prefers to let things slide rather than be confrontational. Doesn’t dwell on the past, preferring to live in the present and plan for the future.
 * Likes: Old Huntsmen stories, running
 * Dislikes: Being told to upgrade his weapon, being cooped up for too long, darkness with no light source
 * Notable relationships:
 * Qing Dian: Grandfather, role model and the leading male figure in his life. Greatly respects him and emulates him as much as possible.
 * Mother: loves her, though gets annoyed whenever she mentions being uncertain about his career choice.
 * Father: Knows about him, loves the image he has built up in his head of what his father was like but doesn’t really miss him.
 * Spinel Brandir: Team leader, respects her strength and thinks she does a good job of pushing them all to get better, and is glad she lets him be about his weapon. Thinks she can get a bit too aggressive when it comes to confrontations or competitions though.
 * Character Basis: Venusaur

I) Weapons II) Semblance III) Combat Info IV) Statistics
 * Name: Canlan 灿烂
 * Type: Dust Enhanced Scissor Blades (DESB)
 * Short Description: A pair of swords which can clip together to become scissor blades. Both are stored in the same sheath, one is infused with ice dust and the other with fire dust.
 * Name: Effulgence
 * Short Description: User absorbs light, and is able to convert it into strength or speed
 * Activation cue: User’s hair glows, steadily growing whiter as they absorb more light
 * Class/Position: Swordsman
 * Landing strategy: Use his swords together to create focused blasts of steam to slow his fall
 * Fighting Style: Fast paced and very agile, absorbing as much light as he can from his surroundings and the dust in the blade to give him speed boosts wherever possible. When using both blades florentine style, focuses on fast slashes and quick attacks, never staying in one place very long. When using both blades together or as scissors, uses heavy slashes to make use of the extra weight in the blade, or uses scissor motions to either catch an opponent between the blades and crush them, or stab an opponent and force the blades to open.
