Name: Lucius Wainwright Age: 30 Gender: Male Species: Human/Warlock
Looks: - Height: Approx. 6ft - Build: Rather skinny but well toned. - Hair: Dark brown, short but with a slight fringe at the front. - Eyes: Dark brown. - General appearance: Devilishly handsome, oozing with sex appeal
Personality: Lucius Wainwright is confident, clever, calculating, cold, rather suave at times, and extremely manipulative. He has a charming air about him upon first impression, but don’t be fooled… for what lies beneath is a very unpleasant dark heart.
Lucius hates betrayal, and is furious to the point of insanity when things don't go his way. He has a nervous twitch that becomes more evident when he is under stress.
Powers: Being a warlock, Lucius’s powers relate to heavy magic and witchcraft. He can do virtually anything; telepathy, telekinesis, creating magical energy bolts, potions making – the whole bit.
Strengths: Magic
Weaknesses: His loveless temperament – he might think that such an emotion is the true weakness, but in reality love only acts as a strength – he just has no idea how much of a strength it really is…
He’s also quite weak physically, and has to rely on his magic or potions as a booster, which can be something of a failing at times.
Class: n/a
Background: Lucius was born in Scotland, and was a warlock at birth, gaining his powers from his parents – his father was also a warlock, and his mother a witch. Sadly, they gave him up for adoption after he was born. His mother was quite young at the time, and just didn’t feel she was responsible enough to raise him.
Instead, he was brought up by foster parents, who found his “unique abilities” rather peculiar, therefore became quite strict with him. At the time Lucius had no idea of his true powers, nor did he know who his parents really were. He could never stand the way his foster family treated him, and as soon as he was old enough, he moved out and away from his old home town, eventually finding himself alone in the heart of London.
At only 18, he was rather inexperienced in the “real world”, but managed to find a job and a small flat to stay in nearby. His unstable and untrained powers took their toll, however, and he was forced to quit the job after a short time.
Struggling to pay his rent, he desperately tried to find money anywhere he could. A neighbour in the block of flats he was a part of seemed to hold the answer to his problems – drug dealing.
Lucius wasn’t so sure at first, but his powers seemed to aide him in evading law enforcers, and he was able to deliver drugs to people without hassle. He received quite a large cut of the profits, and soon the money came rolling in. He discovered he had a taste for it, and became deeper involved.
With the money came the chance for him to find out who his real parents were, and around the age of 20, he discovered the truth about his powers. He developed them more and more, reading up on witchcraft and spells, even voodoo, and anything magical he could lay his hands on.
While he never touched the drugs he dealt, the magic became his addiction, and he soon found he couldn’t get enough of it.
Lucius’s upbringing was partly to blame for his “off the rails” lifestyle. He had abandonment issues after finding out why his birth parents had “dumped” him, and was always held at arm’s length by other people in his life. He fell into a bad crowd with his drug dealing friends, the first people to ever accept him, however they were simply using him, and he knew that.
He felt that he had been treated unfairly and therefore had no reason to really care about anyone other than himself. All that mattered to him was money and the drug running. He became quite renown for his abilities in the business, eventually attracting the attention of a different kind of drug ring – one that was run by vampires, demons and all sorts of nasty creatures.
Misc. Info: Love isn’t particularly high on Lucius’s list of priorities. Money and magic take on the top roles. However he isn’t without lust and passion. In fact he has had many torrid affairs, with both men and women. He doesn’t seem overly picky. There just wasn’t any real love involved.
He’s never felt any need or want to “love”. It possibly stems back to the lack of compassion and empathy he had in life; he’s never experienced it from others, therefore hasn’t felt it for anyone else.
