Name: Lucan Issod of Maloren
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Occupation: Lucan is a an orphan. He runs around the streets of Maloren as a misfit, and a troublemaker. Stealing food and water to live, he is a quick agile boy. Smart, can even read and write. He is often found running around the streets, getting into fights with the local bullies and well, doing what he does best, disappear. When there is no excitement he is at the docks, watching the ships dock and watches the water.
Status & Rank: Lucan is an orphan. He has no status, and has no rank. The only people that care he exists are the traders and merchants that he steals from to stay alive. Other than that, he is a nobody, and always will be a nobody, for that is what he is.
Roots & Origin: Lucan being born in Maloren was not exactly what his parents had hoped. His father had grown up the son of a pauper. He had gone into the city militia to do justice. Although nowadays that is non existant in Maloren. His father had a chance at being Captain of the guard, but was beaten senseless by an angry mob at a large riot. He died within minutes. His mother had been a mother of a spintress. His mother had become a singer and dancer. She was always a fragile lady, and died giving birth to her son. His foster mother had been an old widow down by the docks. Her dead husband had been a sailor and his ship had been wrecked at sea. She took Lucan in and treated him right. She taught him to read and to write, and honor. For being young he did not fully understand that concept, and before she could teach him more of it, she died. Leaving him at age ten, on the street.
Appearance: His father had been a fair looking man, and his mother being a talented singer and dancer, was absolutley stunning. He inherited his mother's grey eyes, but his father's cold look. His thick hair came from his mother, but the black was his fathers. His pale skin was his mothers. But his sharp facial features he had inherited from his father. His slim build was once more his mothers, but his lean muscle was from his father. As A boy, he was cute, as a young man he was good looking. If not for the fact he was dirty and ragged and worn looking, many would think so.
His right arm has a tatoo running up all the way to the shoulder. The tatoo is a knotwork design in the shape of a snake. It starts at his shoulder and spirals down his arm to his wrist. His back is covered in scars, as are his chest and arms. His legs too have them. They are from knives and other sharp objects from the many fights he has been in. Although his lean muscled body has scars, his face, is untouched.
His eyes, ever watchful have a grey cold yet intriguing look to them. His eyes seem like grey crystals during the night, and grey orbs during the day. His hair is a rugged thick look to it. His mouth is in perfect proportion to the rest of his face. His facial features are sharp and defined if closely looked at. Otherwise it looks smooth. His features defined, all thanks to his parents.
Strengths:
- His lean muscled body allows him his quick reflexes and agile movements. He is quite the acrobat and quite the fighter in his own way.
- His rough life on the streets has taught him to stay weary and observe everything around you. He can walk into a room of nobles and by the time he comes out can name how many pearls was on the lady's necklace who was seated three seats away from the head of the table, and more.
- Having to get out of sticky situations, Lucan posseses a talent for a smooth tounge. He is a good talker and swooner when needs to be. Otherwise he usually prefers to keep his mouth shut.
- Being a thief has granted him the talents of stealth. He can dissapear and reappear into or from shadows. He is also agile and stealthy, all good aspects of a theif. But when he needs to go, he is a fast runner with plenty of endurance.
Weaknesses:
- He trusts nobody since nobody trusts him. Although this may change when he and if he sees the rest of the world. But at the moment he does not trust anyone, and because of that is hard to make friends or even aquiantences.
- His smooth talking sometimes ends him into trouble. He says the right thing and a person wants to keep him in their eyes forever. Lucan being a solitary person sometimes gets in over his head, all because of his smooth talking.
- Because he is such a good thief, many want what he gets. Even though its usually food, many in Maloren need food. So who do they find? Lucan. They jump him, and attack him. So far he has been in countless fights and has narrowly escaped with his life.
- Being alone all his life, and because of his thief like manner, he is shunned out from the world. He thinks people keep him out, and that he does not belong anywhere. He wonders if he'll every be recognized, ever really be seen.
- Since he trusts no one person, and thinks the world shuns him out, he has developed a very hot temper. When his temper is triggered, he is a very violent and insultive person. At times it has gotten him into very big trouble, and others out of it. Although more into then out of.
- Sometimes Lucan goes days without food. He is heavily undernourished, and the only thing that keeps him going is the will to prove himself to the world.
Magic: Since he is so alone, he wants it to exist, but has seen nothing to convince him that it really does. Sometimes he wants it so bad that he actually thinks he has it. But knows deep inside that he might not even have that capacity to use it.
Personality: Lucan when alone, is a very pensive person. He thinks about what his life has been, and has become. He thinks about what it might become. While he is going through the city, his mind is on one thing, survival. Usually a calm, level headed young man, he has developed a nasty temper. When it is triggered, he is very violent, and very insultive. He cares only for his own survival.
He hasn't met anyone wanting to help him since his foster mother died. He thinks the world shuns him out. Thus making me even more seculded and shut out from the rest of the world. He hates the world for this reason, even though he does not fully understand it himself. He wants a couple things. To be recognized by people, and in doing so become somebody. He would do anything, for a chance to do so.
History:
(Roots & Origins is the Beginning. I will start with his life on the streets at age ten.)
Living life on the streets is anything but easy. In the beginning Lucan was given food and water from the homeless. Even some traders and merchants took pity. But that soon changed when he was first attacked for having food. He had been attacked by three boys alittle older then himself. He did not know how to fight at the time, and was nearly beaten to a pulp. He had curled up into a ball and the older boys took his food and left. This ended the time of a nice boy named Lucan.
Now there was a survival instinct. Lucan quickly changed his lifestyle. He found somebody who taught him to sneaky, to steal, to do everything he would need to survive. He not only learned those things, but mastered them and expanded them. He could steal anything he wanted and became increasingly a big target by the local gangs for food and sport. He didnt know how to fight, and didnt know where to learn to. He looked forever and ever. The militia was no good, they didnt have many expeirenced fighters.
But then in a bar, he found a man passing through who knew how to fight with knives. Their builds were almost exactly. The man having a similar past understood that Lucan needed the skills to survive. He taught Lucan to use knives as a offensive, defensive and even as a tool. When Lucan finished learning the man left, and he has not yet seen him ever again. Lucan two days later, had his first real fight. He didnt lose, and didnt go hungry that night.
Soon Lucan was even better a stealing and keeping hidden. Not to mention defending himself. Soon he became a no man's target. He proved to dangerous and was not worth the heavy price he could pay. Lucan lives for one thing, to survive and prove himself worthy of being somebody. At eighteen he finally wanted to enter the world as a person. But he didnt know how. So for a year he thought of how to. He came up with one thing. To find some sort of work.
Although he had a very violent childhood and teenage years, Lucan had his times of peace and found his solitary. He would go down to the docks and watch the boats, the water, the business of it all. Yet it seemed so routine, so calm and soothing. Lucan soon found there was something to live for. Hope that he could be somebody and truly enter the world.
So now Lucan tries to find that balance. But where he will find it, he does not know.
