Lucian Gold

"Exile? More like freedom! Only rule one should follow is to go for what they love, and I'm a man of many interests waiting to be pursued."-Lucian Gold

Lucian Gold is a rattlesnake faunus and the second member of Team GLDN alongside his twin brother, Gabriel Gold and his two newest friends, Darika "Dari" Hachi and Noir Holmes. A reckless and charismatic individual, Lucian is often looking for the most recent novelties to enjoy, all while making sure others won't ruin such pleasures for those who seek them.

Appearance
Lucian is his brother's spitting image in most details, same blonde hair, bright yellow eyes(though his are vaguely serpentine), a fair build and a charming disposition. However, whereas Gabriel tries to keep himself with the addornements of Paradise, Lucian has long since shunned them in favor of a dark purple hoodie with golden details, a white polo and long formal black pants and shoes. His weapons, Means Rea and Actus Reus, have their wrists hidden underneath his sleeves, though the purple pentagram marked white gloves are always exposed. His emblem can be found on his left shoulder.

Personality
Lucian is a charismatic and outspoken individual who's often described as the "life of the party". While he has his momments of wisdom, they're greatly obscured by his crude humor and his view of the world.

Due to his semblance, he's grown to find people to be fun, entertraining puzzles, and simply loves to talk and listen to them, specially those who are not bound by rules.

He's always interested in new stories or insights from those around him, though he more often than not distorts things, reflecting everything around him, even missions, on himself. Which is usually what leads him to conclusions.

Lucian is quite childish, following his desires without much thought behind it. Be it flirting with the first new girl that comes along or simply taunting someone who stood against him, inclining them to try attacking him and igniting a fight.

Yet, he finds failure to be something to be laughed at, deciding that it not only reveals flaws to be fixed at the next try, but keep the journey going.

Lucian's pride is perhaps his greatest weakness, he's convinced that he can pull it off no matter the challenge, though he's smart enough to avoid possible traps. Lucian never lies, yet he does not mind using facts to convince others to be misled. After all, it was their own conclusion.

Weapon: Means Rea and Actus Reus
Lucian's gloves, Guilty Mind and Guilty Act, are Multi-Dust Megavolt Dischargers(M.D.M.D.)s. The MDMD have revolver-like cilinders with ice, fire, lightning and gravity dust charges, which can be interchanged but clicking the hammer(Which due to it's positioning, gives the illusion Lucian is merely adjusting his glove underneath his sleeves).

Rather than outright fire dust charges, the MDMD conduct the dust to trigger the dustwoven glove, lighting up the pentagram on the back in the dust's respective color(Red for fire, light blue for ice, yellow for lightning and purple for gravity). Each type of dust unlcoking different abilities.

Fire Dust: The MDMD releases bursts of flame when the user snaps their fingers, the flames being guided by the pointer finger.

Ice Dust: A cold mist shimmers from the user's fingertips, as they make contact with surfaces, a thin slippery sheet of ice begins to take shape.

Gravity Dust: The MDMD become highly reactive to contact, first attracting objects towards it and increasing the force of punches, yet upon contact, they reverse the attraction flow, repelling objects instead.

Lightning Dust: The gloves become electrified, letting the user stun enemies by shocking them on contact. Stunning them with short punches or frying them with long term contact.

Semblance: Desire
Lucian's semblance is a simple one, when triggered, his pupils shrink into serpentine slits and possibly as a subconcious reflex, his tail begins to rattle. Those that look into his eyes begin to feel an urge to speak their thoughts aloud, specially when Lucian asks them or urges them with soft spoken phrases. This usually leads peoeple to reveal critical information and innermost desires without even realizing.

Fighting Style
Lucian primarily uses the MDMD's lightning dust with a swarmer boxing style. First taunting the enemy, using his semblance to confuse them or make them reveal strategies, and once he has an opening, he jumps in with a flurry of electrying blows to overpower them. However, he's not above utility, using ice to make the enemy slip, fire to burn them from midrange and stop grimm in their tracks or, more commonly, gravity to add an extra kick to his blows.

Faunus Trait

Like most faunus, Lucian's posseses powerful night vision, in his case, allowing him to see heat much like snakes' thermal vision. However, his manifested trait is his long rattlesnake tail, which can be used to trip foes and tends to be rattle when his semblance is active.

Backstory
(TO BE EDITED)

Growing up alongside his brother Gabriel, Lucian never felt a calling to any type of dust in particular, his failure leading him to be looked down on by others in the tribe. Alas, Lucian was ambitious, and often got in trouble to prove his skills, sadly, most of these stunts backfired on his reputation further. Regardless, the rebel was too proud to show the need for aid, even when his twin offered it. Lucian soon broke the tribe's taboo and began experimenting with multiple dust rather than wait for a callig he never heard. Results were... pleasing, at least to him. Lucian managed to master the dust he came in contact with in dangerous extends, growing so powerful that he soloed a deathstalker that threatened his tribe. Alas, for wielding multiple types of dust, Lucian was exiled. While he did feel torn, he also felt the weight of the chains of responsability fall off. At least until he discovered his twin would follow him in exile. Arriving in Vacuo, Lucian sought out how to best live his life freely, and began to learn more about huntsmen. Not long after, he applied to Shade alongside Gabriel. He'd live his life freely or not at all.
