xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RESERVED Lucian wouldn’t consider himself shy by any means, but he does hold himself back in social environments. It’s important to him to keep his emotions in check if he doesn’t want any unexpected shifts in his appearance, and he manages this well, but his calm exterior can sometimes make him seem aloof and insincere to others.
INDEPENDENT Luci grew up in an environment where if he needed something done, it was easiest to learn to do it himself. That way if the outcome is disappointing, he has no one to blame but himself. He gets himself up for school, he cleans, and can even make simple meals. There’s something satisfying about completing a task all on his own, and the smile and pride in his mom’s voice as she sings his praises even better.
GENTLE Wynne has often said Lucian has the kindest heart in Cardiff. He is a calm, caring soul that looks out for others and wishes the best for everyone. He’s patient and a good listener. He will offer a shoulder to cry on and try to help lift others up when they’re down, but he won’t fix anyone’s problems for them. To Luci, it’s best to provide gentle guidance to help them on their way.
SHREWD Every child has their rebellious streak, and Luci is no exception. While he would obviously prefer a stable house with parents that ask where he’s going, he has to admit being an only latchkey child has its perks. He’s a cunning boy that knows his dodgy neighborhood like the back of his hand—who to talk to, who to avoid, and that the local book shop around the corner will let him hide out for hours on end so long as he helps shelve some books while he’s there. Still, he’s always sure to be back in time for curfew… Even if he was the one to set it in the first place.
LEVEL-HEADED It takes a lot more than a dirty look or mean name to wound Luci or even get on his nerves. Words, and even some actions roll off of him like water on a duck’s back. Lucian notices and appreciates habits, and those who keep the everyday promises. Safety comes first, and being home when you say you will be is more important than making some grand statement or gesture once in a blue moon. Lucian does has a fierce side, but it’s deep down–way deep down– and all that anger and resentment is buried beneath his entire life. Whether those skeletons will rise or be put to rest has yet to be seen.
DECISIVE There’s no sense in being wishy-washy about things. If you’re going to do it, then go do it. Sure, sometimes Luci gets stuck and might try to find an easier way around, but he doesn’t waste time with “should I/ shouldn’t I?”. Worst comes to worst, he’ll make a mess and a mistake and have to clean things up after. Similarly, in social settings, Luci has a “live and let live” mentality where he’ll stay out of other people’s business and let them make their own decisions. If people are hurt, he’ll be there afterwards to help pick up the pieces.
LIKES
► Sweets. He’s always been fascinated by the cutely decorated cakes in the neighborhood bakery’s window. He’d love to try one, if he could ever afford it.
► Reading
► Drawing
► The strange food concoctions his mum comes up with after a late shift at the lounge
► Spicy foods, but especially if it’s a sweet/spicy combination
DISLIKES
► When adults behave like children.
► The smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke, particularly on someone's breath.
► Mum’s “special” brownies. He tried one once. It smelled weird, tasted vaguely like grass and made him feel sick. Never again.
► Geese. They chase him at the park. They yap. They're scary.
► Anything that feels sticky/slimy.
STRENGTHS
► Self-sufficient and proactive.
► Wise beyond his years thanks to raising his mum.
WEAKNESSES
► Can be stubborn when it comes to asking for help.
► Has a hard time opening up.
DESIRES
► A nice, safe, boring household where his parents are home when they say they will be, and dinner never gets cold.
► To blend in with the crowd.
FEARS
► Dementors. He's heard stories from his dad.
► His meta abilities turning him into something that he can't change back from.
xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Lucian was born as the only child of Griffin Burke and Wynne Valentine. Griffin was always off at work as a guard of Azkaban, while his mom sang in a jazz lounge in Cardiff. Their relationship, much like themselves, seemed complicated and messy. Griffin came and went as he pleased. He would always return home with promises to spend time with Lucian, only to go back on his word the next day after a night of drinking and wooing Wynne. Then they would argue over the topic of the week, and Griffin would go back to wherever he’s been. Wynne acted more like a sister than a mother: She only cared about having fun. She had tantrums that only her bottle of booze would soothe. She was always late picking him up from daycare. She would bring strange men into their flat weekly–sometimes the same man, but she would be a totally different woman. Wynne explained once that she and Lucian were something called Metamorphmagi and could change their appearance at will. That was why Lucian’s hair changed color depending how he felt, and why he had to carry cans of hair dye spray in his backpack to explain any unexpected changes. She said it was a gift to be used and enjoyed. Personally? Lucian hated it. Luckily growing up with his mother granted him some emotional control, and the incidents became less frequent with each passing year. Though he was good at repressing changes, he hasn’t gotten a firm handle on transforming. Wynne said that would come with age, and when he finally received his Hogwarts letter, Lucian wondered what the future may look like moving forward–not to mention, who was going to look after his mum?
