Name: Theo Lucis
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: April 12th
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: Theo can speak numerous languages, as well as adjust his accent fluidly. He particularly excels in Pergrandian Common and Minstrel languages and accents courtesy of his heritage and his lifestyle.
Personality:
Being the bastard son of a noble is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand you are shunned by the majority of those that hold similar status, you're expected to uphold some level of tradition and decorum, and the lessons - oh dear gods the lessons - are absolutely killer. On the other hand there are low expectations of you as you're a bastard child and thus anything you do warrants some level of surprise at your ability. These are all true for one Theo Lucis who, being the result of a Pergrandian nobleman's now not-so-secret tryst with his housemaid from Minstrel (oh the cliche), initially had a very difficult upbringing. Nonetheless he has grown up to be mentally strong and determined and - much to the chagrin of his peers and mentors alike - has far surpassed all expectations placed upon him. He is both confident yet gentle, firm but fair and despite his tender years and all the turbulence surrounding his very existence, he is ironically the purest noble in Pergrande's recent history (or at least he would be were he not raised in Minstrel, but that's another story).
Both a keen student and an avid teacher, Theo is incredibly studious and it is not uncommon to find him reading, writing and training at any and all hours of the day. He has great understanding of what his existence has cost his father and is humble to the fact that the man whom would now be in the House of Lords in Pergrande, but instead chose to accept and embrace his 'mistakes'. This decision has forever left an impression on the young man, perhaps being one of the driving forces behind his never-ending thirst for his own success, as well as the key aspect for his protective spirit.
Having grown up in Minstrel and courtesy of his father managing to keep most of his assets, Theo has been fortunate enough to have received some of the best educational studies in the country - particularly in fencing, a battle style of which he has been named a 'prodigy'. This combined with his magics makes him a formidable foe in combat. Unfortunately he knows this, and can sometimes come across as brazen and overconfident. This has caused him to clash with many of his peers of the fencing world, although his natural charisma and his friendly demeanour away from combat usually turns them into rivals rather than into enemies.
While he can accept and will follow through with orders given to him, he can easily become distracted by a powerful opponent to test his skills on. Furthermore, while he is an incredible combatant and a great commander, his abilities and knowledge do not transition across to strategy. Short-term moves can be crafted in an instant even in mid-combat, but Theo cannot formulate a strong strategy for long-term combat. As such he is best used as a commander, relaying his part of the strategy to his unit and improvising where necessary to ensure that units success.
Likes:
- Routine; Theo has been raised to live by a strict daily routine. While this has become progressively more lenient as he's gotten older, he still prefers to have somewhat of a routine throughout his days.
- Rivalry; Being a fencer of a high-calibre, Theo loves a good sparring partner. A sparring partner whom knows him as well as he knows them is the perfect opponent, pushing both to their limits and training themselves to learn new abilities and manoeuvres.
- Hot beverages; Namely tea courtesy of his Pergrandian heritage, Theo will often indulge in a variety of other hot beverages including coffee (Mocha being his preference), hot chocolate and even mulled fruits.
Dislikes:
- Excuses; If you don't want to do something, that's fine. Just say so. Don't try to cover it up, just be honest.
- Cowardice; Backing down from a fight you can't win is acceptable. But not fighting for what you believe in or for something you care strongly for is despicable and punishable by death...or at least a punch in the jaw.
- Water; Sure it brings life, but it also bring destruction and death. And rain sucks.
Motivations:
- To achieve greatness; He wants to repay his father for the man's kindness and acceptance where other Pergrandian nobles would (and have) turned a blind eye.
- Teacher; While this isn't on the agenda just yet, Theo wishes to one day become a fencing teacher, passing his knowledge on to future generations.
- To learn how to swim; A small motivation, but something important to him given his current inability to do so.
Fears:
- Failure; Theo can accept defeat, but to fail to achieve his goals would be catastrophic.
- Drowning; Despite all of his knowledge and his numerous abilities, swimming is not one of them. As such, he is incredibly uncomfortable around water that rises above his waist.
- Snakes; Due to an unfortunate incident involving a travelling circus and their pet python, Theo is completely terrified of snakes. Even his eagerness for combat is completely drained should a snake appear.
General Appearance
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 157lbs
Hair: Theo has long, somewhat messy jet black hair that reaches down to his waist at the back and his fringe is kept swept to the right, away from his face.
Eyes: Turquoise-green
Skin Tone: Pale skinned bar summertime when he becomes lightly tanned.
Appearance:
Theo's build is fairly average, not sporting any particularly spectacular features. However, this suits him just fine due to his combat style requiring a balance of speed and strength. His clothing usually consists of a long blue coat with black and gold adornments and his family crest emblazoned over the front, long black fencing tights that allow for free manoeuvrability and removing chance of snagging, and a pair of knee-high black boots that are designed for solid grip on the ground, thus allowing for quick movement.
