The Divine Paradox - Lucius B.

Name: Lucius Blackthorn
Age: 16
Guild: The Underworld
Nation: None
First Seen: Later Nightmare

Appearance: Short dark straight hair, with pale skin. His eyes alternate between pale yellow and blood red, depending on his mood at the time. Lucius feels the need to wear formal, flow-y clothing at all times, such as long dress coats and whatnot. They also typically have a red or black hue to them.

Personality: A silent type, Lucius tends to lay back behind the crowd. However, Lucius has always been extremely loyal to his superiors, when he has them anyway. Always helpful to underlings asking for it, Lucius carries a strong, if not exaggerated, sense of justice. He wouldn't hesitate to end the life of one who does harm to society, or is simply in the moral wrong in his eyes. In short, Lucius is kind, yet incredibly judgmental.

History: Lucius was raised in a tiny village ridden with poverty. His mother was barely ever around, yet he and his father developed a close bond when he was little. When the village's leaders arrested his father for high treason, he left Lucius the blade Umbra, which he'd kept ever since. The following day his father was executed. Lucius took to the streets shortly after, training with his new blade and taking "odd jobs" for money, usually involving thievery or assassination. Eventually he began to discover his abilities in Chakra manipulation, forming signatures in both Light and Darkness. He left the village and all human habitation after a while, in an effort to hone his powers.

He made his way eventually to the Nightmare, where he quickly became fond of the Sannin Zeik Hellgate. Zeik took Lucius in as his apprentice after long, and Lucius's progress and skill only grew. It wasn't long before he was offered one of the only Anbu positions in Zeik's new village, the Kingdom of Chaos. There his skills only grew, though Lucius never attained a rank into the Elite group of Zeik's, the accalaimed Sannin of the Chaos. When the villages merged into the Vescrutian alliance, Lucius assumed an unofficial position as mediator between the four villages, who almost never met eye to eye on matters.

Lucius was caught in the scuffle between Skye and Rozalyn right before the black hole emerged that consumed many people, and was among the first to be taken to Escellsia against his will, and knowledge. Now harboring an undying grudge against Skye for his foolish actions, Lucius found solace in the Underworld guild, in which he is very active. He never did choose to serve a Nation however, preferring to retain loyalto to the long-gone Kingdom of Chaos.
