Common Shapeshifting Forms
-
This is Lucien's actual appearance, used when hiding his self is not as important as hiding his identity. It's most notable characteristis appear on his face: white hair, heterochromatic eyes and scars that have disfigured his face enough to not be useful to determine any of the other faces. It is a testament to his experiments and his cruel life. -
Lucien's public face, as it is known on many places other than Regalia. It poses as an alchemist, wine enjoyer and an artist which intellect serves of good use for others or himself. The Phantom's characteristics are gone, replaced with a dark brown hair, purple eyes and a clean face. It's as normal as it can get on the face of the people. -
The second face, also known as Kiros Vaalrioc, used to persuade others into thinking Lucien is a man of high regard among others. He took inspiration on an elven friend he had, sculpting his face as their own before an accident took their life. It's the image of an elf with a physical appearance of 25 years, with a voice that sounds like an arrogant being. He wears red robes and a long hair covers his back. It was design to be used on emergencies or when an subtle intimidation is needed. -
Known as Aquilarr Mourdirrn, plays a similar role as Kiros, but with the difference that he plays the full role of a servant while having charisma and empathy towards others. It is shaped after an evolist Lucien met while on the countryside, making it the youngest shape for now, the original Kathar died from an illness, though it is unclear of which. Aquilarr tends to wear dark clothes and an golden bandana on his head, appearing and sounding as a 30 year old.
>Personality
In public, Lucien is a charismatic man, presenting himself as an artist and alchemist, with an amazing sense of justice and a charming semblance, educated and cult in many subjects. In crime, he is the opposite of the other: an enigmatic character, whose motives and methods are incomprehensible for others.
When he is in this state of mind, he reveals his pseudo-psychotic nature, changing his manners to match this, he also adopts little to no regard over the life of others. The only thing his alter egos have in common is their code of honor, though this code is as enigmatic as Lucien's origins.

Plot hooks
─═"Autre temps, autres mœurs"═─
- Lucien is willing to go to the absolute limit to take his revenge againts someone
- Lefant will do erratic, inmoral or illegal things just for the sake of it.
- Lucien has always had an affinity for ravens, being one of the only creatures he takes care of.
-
Earliest record of Lucien's life date to the 280 a.C., some papers describing how a small orphanage outside of Havenreach accepted a young boy in the ruins of a recently burned village along side some other children. His time on the orphanage was miserable, specially after some noblemen cut the funding for it out of pettiness; he escaped at age 5 and began to roam the streets around Havenreach's waterfall where he was adopted by a small group of criminals who continued to raise him
-
The criminal group quickly found out the skills Lucien had and so they trained him in many combat techniques such as the rapier and the body combat, but he quickly found out his skills with the daggers. At the age of 14, after a plan failing and starting a fire in the city, many of the members of the group died at the hands of justice, and the remaining ones fled from Havenreach to unknown regions, but Lucien didn't have anywhere to go. He gathered what money he could and established his new identity: Victor Malveau, which he used to get accepted into an university to begin his studies in alchemy, as well as learning many useful languages.
At his 20's, Victor established a romantic relationship with an aldurist criminal he met named Ithrelle, the two were deep in love and had planned to go far away from the city and its troubles to live in peace. But fate had other things planned as on the day of their wedding, Lothar organized and executed a raid towards them, caughting many of the guests, and while running away, a Lothar knight killed Ithrelle with an arrow through her heart. Lucien cried as he took the life out of the knight's body, having lost his wife, future and family in a single night.
Time passed and Lucien's hate and despair grew until, on a cold winter night, Catheron called out for him and granted him a mission: to expand his worship far and wide across the lands and people as he desired; the god had felt compassion for his actions and saw this as a sign of mercy towards Lucien's empty life. The ithanian accepted.
-
During the period after the vision, Lucien began to make a name for himself as a ruthless man, The Ithanian Ghost was born, as well as many other faces. He organized a criminal group like the one he had, using it to work in the shadows and get everyday closer to his objective. Said organization was relatively sucessful at his objective both in the shadows and in the court, promoting small but necessary changes for the people living in Havenreach's slums and underworld by political or phisical assasination and control, all towards the worship of Catheron's purpose.
But this was short lived as on the 308 a.C., while Lucien was on a mission far off town, Havenreach was attacked by a dragon, completely burning down the city and destroying all of the efford he had put into its people and their well-being. This broke the last strands of sanity left in his mind and created a huge hate towards the dragons in his heart. He escaped to the country side, hoping for any sign of his gods, one which he did not recived until some time after.
-
At his 40, again, in the lowest point, he finally got a signal, instructining him to go to Regalia and restart his work again. This is a summary of the plot arcs he has been through:
--=The Hollow=--After a quick detour as a servant for the House Norinn, Lucien joined the Serpent's Hollow, a criminal guild runned by Vaëla Aetris as a way to accumulate some power within the underworld's life. Not soon after he claimed the life of the Lothar Dame Engel Blume as a way to pay his debt with Catheron, letting her soul free from the Malefica's hands. This caused a domino's effect which lead to him leaving the organization, but joining the Black Market runned by The Enigmatic Asmita.
--=Amontaar's hand=--As the city's inhabitants left for Amontaar, Lucien learned that his love's ring was in the hands of a powerful mage. He managed to get there and kill the mage, thus obtaining what he felt was his: a blood ring which gave him a clearer connection with the void and its power. But soon after, the Justice Arken, Mosheng Ren, saw through his sins and tricked him, almost killing the ithanian. He took refuge within the Hollow's base for a while before returning to the city of Regalia.
--=His final bow=--At his return, Lucien managed to capture Mosheng Ren and almost kill him, but a miscalculation from his part left him at the hands of the Arken's allies, the Serpent's Hollow. Vaëla exiled him from the underworld and he retreated to the Lion's Repose in the Gloomrot Forest. After the events of Morgenweed's murders and the subsequent reencounter with Aoife Kialoraal, Lucien accepted the forgiveness offer from her and moved to the city as part of their deal. Now having a house for himself, he spends his days working in different experiments, occasionally going out as Lucien to work on a city's laboratory or to sell his products as Kiros to who might be interested.

While Lucien was studying in Ithania's capital he grew curious of the properties of crystaltech, specifically the materials it was made off; this curiosity grew into an almost full control of the material, but not the tech, in which he did not put any effort decoding or learning. The ithanian managed to understand how the vibrations of the crystals reacted with one another and the body, discovering that combining them with other materials like Omnaleya, a material capable of producing high frequency pitches when moved, could result in the alteration of the body.
The body changes could be manipulated using other various compounds and techniques which Lucien mastered with his studies.
Instead of crystaltech, Lucien mastered the clockwork technology, mixing it with his alchemical knowledge and creating a sort of Chemical Clockwork technology, although this equipment has never escaped his hands.
-
- Two dagger set: a set of two, well ornamented, daggers, one made from a gold alloy, the other with silver and steel; originaly crafted in the 210's A.C. for a noble ithanian house now forgoten, Lucien acquiered them from a museum destroyed during the dragon's raid at Havenreach.
- Golden pocket watch: a small, clockwork, golden watch given to him by his lover some days before their death. Said watch is ornamented with carved patters and has two inscriptions: on the outside, it reads "H.F." as if they were the inicials of someone else; on the inside part of the lid, it reads "To my beloved, may the gods make out love eternal and our lifes happy".
- Small bottle of wine: a bottle containing half a normal portion of fine red ithanian wine, with the lid serving as a small glass for it. Lucien bought it on the ithanian harbor to a merchant selling glass things. It's surprisingly durable.
- Small alchemical kit: a small inside pocket in his coat contains some vials and useful materials in case he needs to make a quick transformation, needs some energy or has to make a certain move in combat.
- Silver ring with a red crystal: a small, rather simple, silver ring with a rough, shiny, red crystal inlaid on it's top. It was once from a friend but it ended up in the Allorn Empire when he left, Lucien obtained it in Amontaar after a rough battle. This blood crystal serves as a catalyst for his magic, making it stronger and easier to control.
- Phantom´s tome: a small black notebook containing the memories of a renowned alchemist, it describes pieces of the alchemist's works and knowledge. Lucien bought it from a shade on the black market, it has empowered him through time.

· Lucien is an orphan with no previous records of his existence before Regalia or Ithania. As it's said previously, Lucien might not be his name at all.
· Adding to the above, Lucien is vastly uninterested in his skyborn heritage, often disregarding it and focusing more on his ithanian culture.
· Even if his manners might seem that of a lunatic, he is concern with the well being of his "people".
· Scp-035 reference.
