Lucian is tall, standing at a towering 6'1" height. He is taller than most men in his family, except for his grandfather, from where he got the tall genes. His eyes are a striking green-blue color, which he inherited from his mother. His body type is average; thin, but not sickly so, with the normal amount of muscles for a boy of his age and height. He isn't too well defined, with smooth, tanned skin and dirty blonde hair. He's one of those boys that has the body built for cuddling; no sharp edges, and he fits so nicely against you when you hug him.
In general, outside of his school uniform (which looks dashingly good on him, by the way), he prefers to dress in nicer clothes. A nice shirt, a polo, with a crisp pair of jeans or slacks. He knows exactly what looks good on him, and what doesn't. But, to the few privileged girls who are in Slytherin House, they get to see him in a more relaxed setting, which usually means sweatpants, wifebeaters, and t-shirts on occasion. He also likes to be barefoot, though he always wears shoes outside of the commonroom.
Lucian does have a demon form, but he rarely uses it, because he doesn't like it. It makes him feel like a monster. In his demon form, his eyes are a sharp golden yellow; his hair lengthens and becomes the color of charcoal. Curved horns like those of a ram appear just above and behind his ears, and he grows a foot taller, setting him at a total height of 7 feet. His eyes become more narrow, more hawklike, and his skin glows a faint, pale gold color. Short, unusable black wings like those of a bat sprout from his spine in a very painful transformation, which is another reason he tends to avoid his demonic form. Also, black markings appear all over his body, much like full body tattoos.

personality.[/size]
In general, people would describe Lucian as the all-around good guy. He's charming, sweet, has a great sense of humor, and is always up for an adventure. He knows exactly how to charm people and how to get them to follow his every movement, his every command. He can melt your heart with a smile and a glance, make you feel like you're the only person in the world, and be extremely sweet. He'll hold the door open for you, smile shyly, flutter is long dark lashes, and you're gone. Chivalrous and kind on the surface, he seems to be every woman's dream, and every man's best friend.[/blockquote]
But, this is part of his greatest deception.
In truth, Lucian despizes most people. He finds them idiotic and unable to comprehend the reasons why he does things. Especially teenagers. Teenagers are the worst, as are adults who are stuck in their ways. He finds emotional drama and teenage angst to be tiresome and boring, and will avoid it at all costs. He respects only those who can prove to him that they are above the idiocy of their generation, otherwise he will simply lie to your face about liking you, or being your friend. Mature even for his young age, only his body is 18 years old; his mind is that of someone who has lived and understood the complexities of how people work, and knows what he can do to manipulate them.
With this arrogance comes a desire to stop the tomfoolery of pointless wars. For instance, the fight between his clan and the local gypsies. That's why he came up with a solution to the problem: an arranged marriage. The two would have to stop fighting if they were one, and maybe they'd see that they weren't that different after all, and that would put an end to the battle that killed Lucian's one and only friend.
When he wants something Lucian is ruthless in his attempts to get it. He does anything he can to achieve his goal, and will go as far as he can to do so, even if that means something illegal. Because of this, he can be quite persuasive; very few have found themselves unable to resist his charm and his words. He understands the needs that people have for feeling wanted, for feeling desired, and he uses that to his full advantage, even though it may be a dirty, deceptive way to do it. As long as he gets what he wants, that's fine.
Lucian also has a rather nasty temper. He can put up with idiocy for only so long before he snaps, and his kind exterior will vanish into a rather nasty young man, with vindictive words and no remorse. Lucian feels no guilt, so he will use his words and his knowledge to tell you off right then and there, regardless of consequences. Very rarely will he resort to physical violence, because he finds it petty and childish, but beware if he starts throwing punches. Usually, if he ends up swinging at you, you have made him far angrier than you might have thought, and he won't hesitate to use his full demonic strength against you.
However, on the other side of that, if you manage to somehow befriend him, Lucian can be your greatest ally. He's someone who is loyal to the end for someone he cares deeply about, someone he considers a friend. He will open up to you, show you his heart, and will trust you to do the same for him. He will do anything for those he cares about (such as his mother, brother, and cousin), and become sort of like a guard dog type. He will not allow any sort of harm, emotional or physical, to come to you. For instance, should you be a girl, and you two have a strong friendship, he will become your protector, your older brother. If someone makes you cry, chances are Lucian will go talk to that person, but won't necessarily use his mouth for talking. He cannot stand the abuse of other people, so he will especially not tolerate it when it's being done to someone he cares about.
Beware, though, if you manage to sway his heart and mind: if you betray him, he will forever hold a grudge, and you will never see that warm, caring, and fiercely loyal side of him ever again. This is something he inherited from his family, mostly his grandfather. He will never forgive you if you betray his trust, for he considers it the greatest sin. He will do everything in his power to make your life miserable, whether it is destroying your relationships, destroying your reputation, or destroying your status. Thankfully, no one has yet felt the full strength of his vengeance.
Overall, Lucian is a good guy, only his views are twisted. He loves to go out and be in nature, because that is where he lived most of his life, so anything he can do to be outside is the best thing for him. He loves to go hiking, swimming, rock climbing, jogging, and has even learned taekwondo from a demon that came to live with his clan from China. Often, if Lucian is not able to be found in his room, or in class, he's probably outside, climbing a tree, swimming in the lake, or taking some time in a secluded spot to practice his taekwondo.
family.Grandfather: Mihail LazaroviciMihail is the leader of a Demon Clan--under direct rule of the demon king of Romania; he is a Shadow Demon himself, and has been living for the last seven centuries. His wife, Miriam Istovich, was murdered by a tribe of gypsies two centuries back, and he's held a racial grudge against them ever since. The man despises gypsies. For a man so consumed by his hate for another race, Mihail is very much loyal to his family. He would do anything for them, and he adores his three sons, though he often shows his affection in strange ways.
Uncle: Petre LazaroviciPetre is the oldest son of Mihail and his wife Miriam. He has never married, and, like his father, has held a grudge against any and all gypsies since the murder of his mother. He is a water demon, like his mother. He is very quiet and angry, and has also been known to be a rather nasty drunk. He is somewhere around 550 years of age, and has shown little interest in continuing his bloodline. There is a rumor that he rather prefers the company of men, but no one would dare bring it up to his face.
Uncle: Stefan LazaroviciThe middle son of Mihail and Miriam, at 469 years of age, Stefan is probably the most easy-going of the brothers. He has no interest in bitter feuds, as he wasn't close to his mother, and simply shows disinterest in what his father does. Unless his own wife and son are attacked, physically or verbally, Stefan is rather indifferent about the workings of the clan. A water demon as well, he is as peaceful as a trickling stream. He is married to Mariana Evachev, and has one son, Dominik. Mariana is currently pregnant.
Aunt: Mariana (Evachev) LazaroviciMariana is the youngest daughter of her family, and is 457 years old. She's an earth demoness, and her personality just about mirrors her husbands. She takes little interest in the activities of her father-in-law, but she does care if her husband or son end up involved in any kind of conflict. She is currently pregnant with her second child, and is the wife of Stefan and mother of Dominik.
Cousin: Dominik LazaroviciDominik is the oldest son of Stefan and Mariana, and is an Earth demon like his mother. He's a rather ADD child, with relentless energy and an attention span smaller than that of a goldfish. He is the oldest grandchild of Mihail, thus his favorite, though Dominik is rather oblivious to the inner workings of the clan and their ancient feuds. He is 298 years old, and still acts like a child, which Constantin and Lucian constantly pick on him for.
Father: Nicholae LazaroviciNicholae is the youngest son of Mihail and Miriam, and is only a mere 319 years old. He was 127 when his mother was killed by the gypsies, and was probably the one most affected by her death, as he was witness to it. He became quiet and withdrawn at first, but soon he instead turned his attention to revenge. His anger is as hot and fiery as his father's and older brother's, but it is far more contained. He knows when to act out and when to keep it to himself. He married his wife, Catalina Jibrune, a French Demoness, when he was 215, and they had their first son not three years later, and named him Constantin. Four years after Constantin was born, Lucian was born as well. Nicholae is a Shadow Demon.
Mother: Catalina (Jibrune) LazaroviciCatalina, a fire demoness, is the oldest daughter of her family, a prominent French demon clan in France, and she is 306 years of age. She doesn't talk about her past with anyone, even her son, as she suffered great trauma in France during her life. She escaped to Romania when she was 158, and lived a nomadic lifestyle until she met Nicholae Lazarovici at the age of 202. They were married the same year that they met, and Catalina bore him his first son, Constantin, three years later. Four years after Constantin was born, she produced a second son, Lucian.
Brother: Constantin LazaroviciConstantin is a fire demon, age 101. He is a fiery spirit, and very powerful. He is the second oldest grandson of Mihail, whom looks to Constantin as his prized fighter. Constantin was born, seemingly, to fight, to battle. He and Lucian constantly bickered when they were children, but Constantin was always the first to take it to the physical level, and he always won. Constantin is very close with his father, and looks to him the most for guidance. He is currently dating a young demon woman from the clan, but no announcement of marriage has been made yet.
history.Lucian was born as the second son of Nicholae and Catalina Lazarovici, younger than his brother Constantin by only four years. He grew up constantly fighting his brother for their father's attention, but with all the love of their mother. He grew quickly, and chose to stop his ageing process at the age of 18, because he liked his body like that. So, for the next 79 years, he remained forever 18. He grew into his powers a little late, but now has mastered his gifts, with only a few things just out of reach.
When he turned 78, his mother gave him a trained peregrine falcon egg as his birthday present, which he nursed until it hatched, and then began training heras his companion. For the next 14 years, they were together, Lucian and Michi. However, after her eggs had been laid, Michi died protecting her eggs, and ended up losing three of the four. Lucian, crushed over the loss of his companion, took it upon himself to raise that last little egg, who hatched later and he named Dragos. They have been together for the last 6 years.
Over the last 100 years at least, longer than Lucian has been alive, his clan and a local gypsy clan have been fighting over their land ownership. There's been sporadic fights and disagreements over the years, some resulting in the death of demons and gypsies alike, but nothing like what is occurring now. For the last four years or so, the two groups have been at each other's throats in a full out battle for dominance over the land. Numbers have dwindled on both sides, and one particular death spurned Lucian into action.
Now, Lucian was never one to make friends easily. He always saw himself as more mature than anyone else, thus, most people didn't really care to be around him. His only friend for the majority of his life was his mother, though he does care deeply for his cousin and his brother. However, when he was in his early 50s, he made his first real friend, a young man that had been sent from the Royal Court to help try and bring the tension between the gypsies and demons down. His name was Alexandr, and Lucian and he became friends instantly. Lucian would even go as far as to say that he loved Alex.
Their relationship was close, closer than most normal people, and they did everything together. However, one particular day would change Lucian's life forever.
He didn't know who ordered the fight. Probably his grandfather or his father. Someone with enough power to do that. But Alex had gone along to try and be a peacemaker, to try and calm down the fighting and the tensions. And, in the process of him trying to stop the battle, Alex was killed. Lucian never found out who did it, but when Alex's body was brought back to camp, Lucian was beside himself. He snapped, losing complete control over his emotions and words, and ended up killing two of the people who had lead the attack. He took Alex's body far away, where he mourned him, set up a pyre, and burned the body. Some of the ashes he put into a small vial, which he wears around his neck as a necklace, and the rest he scattered to the wind over the ground which the gypsies and demons fought over.
He returned to the clan five months later, after his mourning was over, and immediately approached his grandfather and father about an idea he had to bring peace to this stupid, idiotic war that had claimed the life of the one person he truly loved. He managed to persuade his grandfather and his father that an arranged marriage was the best course of action to bring this war to a tentative peace. He offered himself as the suitor, because Dominik was too wild to be anyone's husband, and Constantin was too violent to actually keep hold of a wife. He also knew that the leaders of the gypsies had a daughter, thought she was not currently with them.
Because Mihail and Nicholae both loved Lucian, they were swayed by his words, and agreed to the marriage, provided the gypsies also agreed.
Lucian went to the gypsy camp, bearing with him a peace offering that couldn't be denied, and spoke with the leader of the gypsies. He told the man of his proposal, how it would benefit both sides and end this useless war. The man saw his reasoning, and told him that he would discuss it with his advisors and family, on one condition. The man simply wanted his daughter to be protected, to be safe from all harm. Lucian swore to him that no matter what, if he agreed to this marriage, Lucian would protect his daughter for as long as she lived.
A few days later, Lucian got a letter of confirmation from the gypsy leader, and they began making arrangements for the wedding. The ceremony itself would not be held until the daughter had reached 18 years of age, and Lucian was to attend the school where she was until she came of age and graduated, at which time they would be married and the treaty between the demons and gypsies would be sealed. However, until the day of the wedding, both sides were to remain off of the land over which they were fighting, and no fights would be allowed or encouraged. Anyone who instigated a fight between the two nations would be punished by their own clan.
Once everything had been set in stone, Lucian left for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to meet his wife. He had only a name: Tierney Harper. The boy had, by this point, closed his heart off to everyone and anyone, so he knew already that he was not going to be happy in this marriage.... but the least he could hope for would be that the girl had a good head on her shoulders, and he wasn't marrying some halfwit blonde who's idea of a good time was painting her nails.
And that, my friends, is how Lucian found himself at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the 2008 school year.
