Lire Prototype

• Lire’s name is occasionally mispronounced as “Lyre”, as in the musical instrument. The correct pronunciation of her name is similar to “Leer”; her Katakana name is written as リール (Ree-ru).
• In Elsword, another game designed by KoG Studios which has a very similar synopsis to Grand Chase, the character Rena was based on Lire. However the story is different: Rena and her tribe’s existence in the mortal world is fading out due to the weakening of the El power shards which connects the mortal world and her home world. Her tribe sends her on a journey to locate more El power shards in hopes to restore her place and the elven plane.
  • During early development of the game, Rena was originally named Lire. However this was scrapped due to copyright reasons as both games were hosted by different companies.
• Lire is the only character that does not have a ‘true’ backstory, as her description only refers to what her race and tribe had done in the past. This is also shared with Rena.
• Lire is a Jack Of All Trades, with the ability to use a ranged weapon, physical kicks (Crossbowman‘s Trampoline Kick and Nova‘s overall playstyle), wind, nature, fire, ice, light, and dark magic (Archer Skill Tree), traps, a melee weapon (Archer‘s Attack Swing and Arch Ranger‘s melee attacks with her bow/arrows), and machinery (Demi Shock and Magic Missile). She also has considerable combo ability, attack power and range, agility (including teleportation), buffs and debuffs, and mana regeneration, all with little-to-no delay. Most of these traits are also shared with Rena.
• Lisnar, one of Aernas’s Creators long ago, bears a striking resemblance to Lire in both name and appearance; whether or not if this is a coincidence is unknown.
• Lire’s old prototype artwork displays her last name being “Eruel”, the foreign name for Eryuell.
• Ironically, most of Lire’s quotes are mockingly, contradicting her gentle personality.
• Although Elves generally age slower (and live longer) than Humans, there is no concrete evidence of this in Grand Chase. Her teenage-like appearance suggests that Lire, along with Ryan, are accounted as a 15 year-old in human terms.
• Lire is the only character that uses archery; a bow and arrows. Noticeably, Lire does not have a quiver. Instead, the arrows come from Hammerspace.
• Lire can fire numerous arrows/bolts without delay (most noticeably the Crossbowman and the Archer‘sBarrage). In real-life, this is illogical as it is nearly impossible to fire multiple arrows in a fraction of a second.
• In her basic combo, Lire can bend back in a 45 degree angle position. This in real-life is also illogical as bending too far would damage and/or break one’s spine.
• Lire is one of three characters that specializes in machinery, the other being Mari and Rufus. In Lire’s case, her special skill Magic Missile takes the form of a missile with no notable magic properties.
• Several pieces of artwork of Lire depicted her eyes as yellow in color. However, all her present character images and some other artwork present it being green.
• According to a Bingo question, the names of Elesis, Lire, and Arme originally came from the real-world continent of Europe. However, with the exception of Arme’s, this is incorrect as the names are not actually real names and are modified versions of real-world names, such as Elise and Lir.
