Personality
Lucian seems extremely cold and indifferent; however in close quarters with an individual he is really quite friendly. Lucian is very prideful and having to approach someone first to strike up a conversation is damaging to his sense of pride
History
Lucian was born a very normal child to the chieftain of a small village nestled away in the northern foothills of Romania. Lucian displayed excellent physical and athletic prowess for his age and was often seen as the leader of the local village boys. This coupled with the fact that he was the village chieftain's son gave him an inflated sense of pride and importance. However as he grew older he began to realize, with dread, that in the grand scheme of the world he was nothing but an insignificant speck.
Although Lucian's childhood seemed normal his family was not, they descended from a long line of ancient Romanian rune mages. The family ritual of maturity involved the tattooing of symbolic runes on the arm of the initiate using ink made from a rare but incredibly magically potent plant. When Lucian reached the age of maturity and learned of his ancestral heritage, his hunger for power and importance kicked in. He demanded that he receive two sets of the rune tattoos so that he might be more powerful than any in his family. His father, knowing the boy's ambitions were high, quietly refused him and proceeded with the ceremony. After two days of tattooing and chanting the spell was complete and Lucian had become a man. Not satisfied however Lucian fled to the woods where he made a copy of the runes on a piece of cloth.
Lucian had heard tales that spoke of a warlock who lived in the forests near the village. He traveled for four days to find this warlock and when he found him demanded that he bond the rune cloth to his other arm, convinced that it would work the same way as his original set of tattoos. However due to the boy's lack of knowledge of the chants required to complete the spell the tattoos were tainted. He quickly realized that the copy runes on his left arm did not work the same as the original set on his right. Despite this he still gained more power than anyone in his ancestral line and he used this power to punish his family for ever even thinking of denying him what he thought should have been his to begin with.
Style
Lucian is a rune mage. He does not have any innate magical abilities of his own; instead his family has an ancestral tradition of tattooing the male of the family when he reaches a certain age. The tattoos themselves are inherently magical as they are made with ink from a rare but potently magical plant. However for the user to fully be able to tap into their power certain chants must be repeated as the tattooing takes place.
Strengths
Lucian is very physically fit and quite strong. He makes good use of his athletic prowess in battle by combining it in creative ways with his magical abilities. Mostly all of his magical abilities are incorporated into his hand-to-hand fighting.
Weaknesses
As Lucian ran away shortly after his tattooing ritual was completed he was not thoroughly trained in the use of the runes. While he learned much from the journals his father had written he still does not quite have an expertise in the use of the rune magic. Also since the tattoos on his left arm are corrupted due to the incomplete ritual used to bind them to his arm they do not function adequately. This includes simply not responding to his commands at all or even producing a spell opposite to the one he intended to be cast.
Spell List
Arm Of The Golem Lucian touches the earth and flesh runes on the desired arm and the arm is turned into a stone arm which can be used offensively to deal extra damage in devastating punches or defensively as a shield.
Jolt Lucian touches the lightning and flesh runes on the desired arm and the hand on the arm is electrified. Used offensively this spell gives the opponent quite a nasty shock on impact. It can be used defensively to negate the effects of an opponent's lightning-based spell.
Debilitating Touch Lucian touches the wither rune on the desired arm and a touch from the effected arm will make the opponent feel dazed and dizzy.
Aether Blast Lucian touches the sky and mystery runes on the desired arm and is able to project a ball of unknown energy which can do a fair amount of damage to the victim. His family has yet to figure out what sort of energy this spell uses and can only theorize that it is aether, the quintessence that makes up the heavens.
Skeletal Blades Lucian touches the flesh and sword runes on both arms. Then, in a painful but quick process, two curved blades made of bone protrude from his wrists. Lucian usually performs this spell on both arms but it can be limited to just one arm.
Shriek Lucian touches the howl and explosion rune on the desired arm this allows it to resonate and project a forceful high-pitched sound blast at the target. If it does not cause them physical harm it most certainly will leave them dazed.
Dragon's Breath Lucian touches the fire and dragon runes on the desired arm and is able to either launch a constant stream of fire or several small fireballs depending on how he wills it.
Rehabilitating Touch Lucian touches the invigorate rune on the desired arm and by touching an ally or himself he is able to heal them somewhat and restore their energy.
Lupine Claw Lucian touches the wolf and flesh runes on the desired arm and the arm is transformed into a claw similar to that of a werewolf's.
Strengthening Touch Lucian touches the strength rune on the desired arm and the recipient of his touch from the affected arm enhances the physical their strength temporarily.
Knight's Armor Lucian touches the metal and flesh runes on the desired arm and touching anywhere on his body with the affected arm will result in his flesh temporarily being turned to metal. He is still able to move as if it were his own skin but it has the properties and durability of metal.
Vampiric Touch Lucian touches the drain rune on the desired arm and a touch from the affected arm will transfer some energy from the recipient of the touch to Lucian.
Lightning Step Lucian touches the lightning and speed runes on one of his arms and he is able to move quite fast. It appears as if he is warping from one place to another but really he is moving at extreme speed. At this level he can only take about 10 Lightning 'steps' before he exhausts himself.
Weapons/Gear
Lucian carries no weapons as his body is his weapon
The only item he carries with him is his father's journal which is a compendium of all the family knowledge of their rune magic.
