Physical Description: Devilishly handsome, gorgeous, beautiful, a true masterpiece crafted by the gods themselves. These are the thoughts that would march through your mind as you gazed upon Lucien for the first time. He is both tall and slender with perfectly sculpted muscles that ripple beneath his flesh. His long, platinum blonde hair is always straight and well managed, with a the exception of a few strands that hang lazily over his face. One of Lucien's more unique features is his mesmerizing eye, which is a mixture of dark blue and deep silver. Sadly, there is one blemish upon this once perfect being. A missing right eye, plucked out ages ago, though the details of this scarring event for Lucien have been suppressed and forgotten. He now covers the hollow socket with a plain, yet stylish white eye patch. His uniform consists of a white, sleeveless long coat with a short collar and slim fitting black pants. His forearms are wrapped in white cloth and thin leather cords. Lucien's hollow center is set in the very center of his chest. His mask fragment is a jaw bone that loosely hangs around the base of his neck. The fragment is large and thick, with a row of razor sharp teeth running along the upper rim.
Personality: Lucien is a fairly charming individual who usually possesses a happy and upbeat demeanor. Though he is incredibly intelligent, he appears to most to be absentminded and clumsy. As a man full of curiosity, Lucien enjoys learning about new and exciting things, though his attention rarely remains focused on one thing for too long. Some would consider him to be vain and even he would have to admit this is true, to an extent. He is fairly self-conscious about his missing eye and tends to overreact if someone dares to stare at or even mention his most obvious flaw. As a being of incredible awesomeness and genuine good looks, Lucien believes it is his duty to share himself with the world. This leads him to regularly try to flirt and seduce anyone who may catch his attention. Even during battle, he may try to hit on his opponent. He also has kleptomaniacal tendencies that drive to him to steal anything he believes won't be missed. And finally, there is his guilty pleasure, his pipe. It is a beautiful, thin silver kiseru pipe with small intricate and elegant designs carved into its sides. The blend Lucien usually smokes is created by himself. The smoke that flows playfully from the pipe smells sweet and rather heavenly.
Zanpakuto Name: Agonia
Release Phrase: Conquer, Agonia
Sealed Description: In its sealed form, Agonia takes the shape of a elegant Chokuto sword. The blade itself is razor thin yet incredibly strong, allowing it to cut through most materials with ease. The hilt of the sword is fairly rectangular in shape. Its design consists of a black base color with golden lines outlining its smoothed edges, along with intricate regal designs set in the center of each side. The scabbard shares the same royal design as the hilt, each flowing seamlessly together when the blade is sheathed. The sword is also accompanied by a thick leather holster that shares the same golden design that is set in the center of the hilt and scabbard.
Resurrección: Upon uttering the release phrase, Lucien's reiatsu begins to steadily rise until he is enveloped within a veil of black, surging energy. Though most of his body's flesh still possesses his former form's paleness, his hands and feet are now obsidian, both boasting razor sharp claws. His fingers are encased in an incredibly strong exoskeletal armor, fortifying them well for use as his main weapons in combat. The only clothing present upon him is the tattered remains of his uniform, which are now wrapped around his waist. His once well managed hair now flows down the full length of his spine in a disheveled mess. A vertebrae of bone-like metal covers his spine and continues down to form a long, thin tail composed of razor sharp links. Lucien's mask fragment tightens around his jaw as an upper row of teeth form, completing the set of menacing, razor sharp fangs that cover the bottom half of his face. Though this material appears to be bone-like in substance, it is as strong as soulsteel and serves him well in battle. Upon his resurreción's release, Lucien's pain receptors are neutralized, making him numb to any form of pain. With each hit an opponent successfully lands on his body, the amount of pain an enemy feels when hit by an attack dealt by Lucien is multiplied by the number of hits he has taken. However, his zanpakuto is limited to increasing the amount of pain it causes by five fold. Apart from these abilities, Lucien's speed and strength are drastically improved while in this form.
Resurrección Abilities:
- One Thousand Dancing Blades - With a wave of his hand, Lucien can unleash a wave of thin razor sharp blades at his opponent. The blades are elongated, thin and double edged, allowing them to slice or pierce whatever they strike. After thirty seconds, the blades turn to dust. This attack possess the same pain multiplier as his zanpakuto.
Seismic Claw - Lucien charges reiatsu into his fingertips and attacks a target. Once his attack successfully hits its mark, he releases a powerful pulse of energy that expands in a wave of explosive force that can shatter bones or break stone.
Skills:
- Speed - Lucien is quick in both mind and body, allowing him to maneuver easily during battle and respond quickly to attacks. He is incredibly skilled in sonido and is able to use the technique with minimal effort. This attribute is both useful in both offensive and defensive tactics.
Acrobatic - Allows Lucien to outmaneuver his opponents with a combination of agility and flexibility.
Hand-to-Hand Combat/Swordsmanship - Over the years in Hueco Mundo, Lucien has had to fight for survival. In this time his combat skills have been honed allowing him to fight skillfully with both his body and his sword. His fighting style is something he created solely on his own.
Abilities:
- Cero - High-powered energy blasts that can be fired from different body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Cero typically appear as a red blast of energy for most Hollow, but depending on the Arrancar, they can be different colors.
Bala - An Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure (Reiatsu) and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate, but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.
Garganta - A technique used by Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Garganta literally tears open the dimensional fabric between the worlds, to a tunnel of black and white energies that have to be focused by the traveler into a solid path.
Hierro - The hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutou bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar generally have proportionally stronger skin than usual.
Pesquisa - The Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure (Reiatsu). It functions very similarly to sonar.
Sonído - The Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps (Shunpo) and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances.
Regeneration - The ability to regenerate lost limbs and wounded flesh in a short amount of time. However, organs are unaffected by this ability.
Biography: As a human, Lucien was a well known master thief. The rush he would get from stealing money, jewels and priceless works of art protected by dozens of guards was amazing and thrilling. After only a few years of thieving and scamming, he had worked his way from picking pockets to skillfully emptying bank vaults. After finally reaching the top of burglary, Lucien was living like a king. If he ever wanted something, he would simply take it. However, such luxury and bliss never lasts. During a museum job, everything that could go wrong sadly did. One thing lead to another and in the end, one tiny, unimportant security guard may have died in a freak accident that possibly involved a bullet from a gun that definitely wasn't being wielded by Lucien. Sadly, he was captured and convicted for murder. Lucien, being an incredibly ambitious and sexy beast, soon tried to escape. He got fairly close, but to his despair a bullet caught up with him, bringing both his escape attempt and life to an end.
Unable to accept his death, Lucien wandered aimlessly. He felt himself slowly being crushed by the despair of a life cut short. He obsessed about all the things he would never get to steal, never get to taste, and never get to love. Before long, Lucien had become a hollow and found himself among hordes of other bloodthirsty hollows. For years he fought to survive, gradually growing stronger and evolving with time. He found that he rather enjoyed hunting and slaughtering those weaker than himself. After nearly a century, Lucien had learned to control the torrent of souls within him and, though he had most definitely been changed by the process of evolution, had managed to keep most of his psyche intact. At the level of Adjuchas, Lucien was welcomed into the ranks of the Arrancars. Not only did his new found power please him greatly, but his new handsome form made him exceptionally happy. Nowadays, Lucien spends his time lazing about Hueco Mundo, occasionally taking time out of this schedule to harass or seduce the random acquaintance.
