PERSONALITY
≫Lucian is an actor, a dramatic one at that, and the whole world is his stage. He's a bit over the top at times and definitely all over the place, which leads to a lot of people getting annoyed with him. ≫First impressions with him are always rough, because he's actually kind of an asshole when you first meet him, but once he gets to know you he becomes a lot nicer.
≫And when I mean nicer I mean he becomes a puppy, like actually adorable little kid that just wants his friends to have fun and be happy.
≫One thing to know about Lucian is that he absolutely loves any kind of attention, so just don't give him any reactions and he'd usually leave you alone.
≫Everyone that has met him thought he was this cool guy who's a bit intimidating at times when really he's a pouty little brat that throws tantrums when he don't get what he wants.
≫He's very possessive, especially of Everett, and has to mentally tell himself to back off, scared that he would cause Everett to run away.
≫Lucian isn't very honest with himself at all. His outer personality never matching with his inward one. Being around Everett makes him unable to pretend, and that makes him flustered beyond belief which is an amazing sight to behold.
≫basically he's a train wreck of a person and even I can't read him and he's my oc.
FACE CLAIM
≫Lucas Bin

(I'm throwing a fit if anyone tells me they've used him as a face claim cuz I have a rule that I don't use face claims my friends use)

INTERESTS
≫Attention; he loves any kind of praise and craves attention from people that he likes/respects.
≫People's reactions; he finds them entertaining, especially when he's the one manipulating their emotions as mean as that sounds. At the same time he hates it whenever people gouge his reactions.
≫Anything cold; weather, drinks, food, he just likes cold stuff.
≫Getting his way; again, he's a spoiled brat and acts like he's the king of everything.
≫Music; he loves singing, though he's only ever sang for Everett before.
≫The Wheel of Fortune; he thinks that they're the coolest person ever. It's cute.
≫Everett; obviously.
DISLIKES
≫Bright anything; he hates bright colors and lights; but bright people are awesome.
≫His Powers; he doesn't like to hurt people, not even bad people, not even when he's throwing one of his stupid tantrums.
≫Failure; of others and himself. He grew up with very high expectations and can get extremely upset if he doesn't meet the high expectations he now places on himself.
≫Heat; and anything hot in general. Except hot people ;3
STRENGTHS
≫Stamina; Lucian has shitty stamina, and by shitty I mean do you ever get tired you monster.
≫Acting; he's a splendid actor, to the point that it's quite surprising to see him switch from one role to another with ease.
≫Charisma; naturally gifted in charisma much like Everett and the Emperor.
≫His abilities; his powers are what you call devastating, and depend very largely on his emotions.
WEAKNESSES
≫Strength; what he lacks in physical power he makes up for in endurance and outlasting his opponents.
≫His left wrist; he had fractured it when he was younger and it's his weak point.
≫His dark emotions; due to his ability as a negative empath, it is much easier for him to succumb to these emotions, as they often overwhelm him.
≫temperament; this is pretty self explanatory.
FEARS
≫Failure; he has an irrational fear that something bad will happen to his loved ones or himself if he messes up.
≫Loud noises; he freezes up because of them, and sometimes can even have a breakdown if they rattle him enough.
≫Fire; after an accident when he was young, he's been deathly afraid of large fires.
≫Being abandoned; he's also afraid that if he fails then everyone won't like him anymore and leave him behind.
≫Being annoying; he knows he can be over the top at times, so whenever people even playfully roll their eyes at him he gets scared he's secretly hated.
WEAPON
≫Eskrima sticks, which is always fun.
BACKSTORY
≫His earliest memories were of a bright (too bright) room, with tear stained books spread across his desk as a stranger yells at him-louder and louder and louder till their voice was all he could hear when he struggled to fall asleep that same night.
≫The Grays were aristocrats; influential, powerful, cunning. His mother was an esteemed physicist, his father more focused on the medical field. When he was born with charisma and beauty instead of intelligence, they were disappointed, but instead of making use of the abilities he had already been gifted with, they chose to force their ideas on him instead.
≫Everyday felt like a reminder of how stupid he was, with each problem that he struggled on. But, as years passed, and with the barely concealed threat of being cast away by his parents in the back of his mind, he finally managed to become the son they wanted.
≫And then everything was perfect, or so he'd like to trick himself to believe to this very day. They loved him now, they were proud of him, they wanted him there. But he knew in the back of his mind if he didn't meet their high expectations they wouldn't hesitate to kick him out and try again.
≫Which is what almost happened, that one faithful night. He stormed out, on the verge of tears, the disappointed faces of his parents blurring as the chilly night air forced his tears to flow. He had been doing so good, trying to keep the illusion from fading. He doesn't regret it, coming out to them that day, because then he would have never met Everett.
≫Everett, who was so kind to him, who never based his worth on how high his test scores were or how good he did during his practice, who was nothing but pure and good. The only real thing in his life of lies.
≫So when he realized that they were both part of the Arcana, he was the one that suggested they run away.
OTHER
≫The backstory was lowkey cringe tbh.
≫Actually kind of a horrible person compared to his angel of a boyfriend.
≫Sarcastically calls everyone by their role. Aka Nesryn would be "Empress" though he doesn't call Everett "the first half" obviously lmao.
≫Actually really easily flustered it's cute.
≫Learned French and sign language so he could talk to Everett what a dork.
≫A remake of Hex if you like squint really hard at him.
≫Though kinda based off Burr and Todoroki a bit not gonna lie.
