[color=256F5C]◾[/color] Personality: 
[indent]Lucan has always held a decent relationship with those in his family, but he has also retained the ire of some, including his father, over his lack of ambition. At no point in his life has Lucan showered any remote interest in the titles which are his by birth, and he has actively worked to ensure he does not need to take on such titles and lordships in the event of his father's death. Some in his family believe this lack of ambition to be a bad thing, and they view him as being against the cause of the Gully family. Others however view it positively, it makes Lucan less of an obstacle for their own ambitions, and humble a generally quite proud man.

Lucan is more than aware of his own skills and accomplishments, and he has no quarrel with touting it. He always has his head held high, and despite his lack of ambition or even major contribution to its efforts, he is incredibly proud of the Gully name. He makes it well known how his work in the kingsguard serves his family more than anything, he claims that often his position retains a great deal of pride and respect for the Gully's in the eyes of the king. He is most proud however, of his skill with a blade. A champion fighter, Lucan will flaunt his ability whenever given the opportunity.

It is not uncommon for Lucan to have that ability put to use in work other than protecting the king. From time to time, the king sends Lucan on particular missions of a nature which he can only entrust to those close to him in his court. In a trail-by-combat, Lucan is usually the go-to champion of the crown considering his skill, and to this day he has never lost a duel. Lucan is quite happy to take these missions and assignments, no matter how dangerous, he feels an immense thrill in the danger, and is considered by many to be quite brave.

Lucan fancies himself rather amusing and witty, and a friendly conversation with him is likely to result in a number of sarcastic or sly comments from the knight. This can be particularly irritating in certain cases, as sometimes it can be quite difficult to tell when Lucan is being sarcastic. This attitude also can make some believe he is unserious, or that he cares little about a situation or serious conversation should he be making such comments.[/indent]

[color=256F5C]◾[/color] Biography: 
[indent]From a young age, Lucan knew quite well what lay before him as the first-born son of Lord Gully. It was explained to him at a very young age the incredible weight of responsibility, and the power which he would one day have. While others in his family, and around Lhivoria would have likely killed to be in his position, Lucan found he had no desire for such a life. He did not vocalize such desire for a great deal of time however. For much of his young life, he simply followed the training that was given to him, both as a lord and a warrior. He was squired to a knight in the Gully court, and served faithfully alongside him for many years, learning the ways of the blade.

As he was trained, Lucan saw as his younger siblings were born, saw how they took to the noble life in a far better manner than he did. Reaching the age of seventeen, Lucan was knighted properly, but did not immediately return to his home in the Quell Sea. Lucan spent some time in the Capital speaking with the king, eventually agreeing to take the vows to join the Kingsguard. He briefly returned home to explain his decision to his father. Considering the fact he'd kept his lack of ambition relatively secret from his parents, Lucan's father was quite displeased initially, but Lucan would not be convinced otherwise.

Leaving his home in the Quell Sea at the age of twenty, Lucan traveled to Corevial Castle and began his servitude in the Kingsguard. He served loyally for many years, and during his time there grew close with many members of the royal family, including the young princess. The king often assigned Lucan as his daughter's personal guard, should she have gone away, and there were more than a few instances in which Lucan actively defended the princess or other members of the royal family from bandits, assassins and others. He rose through the ranks relatively quickly, and came quite strongly into the King's graces as he became second-in-command of the Kingsguard.

It was at this point Lucan began his personal assignments for the king, unintentionally becoming more involved in the politics of the kingdom as a result. When the king wished to make a threat, or a 'suggestion' to a lord or family which had ideas against the king's interests, Lucan was often sent to deliver such a message. It was not uncommon for these threats to escalate, in which case Lucan had to put down one or two noblemen who took particular offence to the message of the king. 

On one particular mission, Lucan was sent along with the lord-commander of the kingsguard to deliver such a message to a Vaernin noble family. The lords took great offense to the king's threat, and attacked both Lucan and the lord-commander. During the fight, the nobles who attacked them were killed, but so was the lord commander, stabbed through the back by one of the noble boys of the family. Lucan returned to the capital with the body of his superior so he could be properly buried, and afterward he was appointed as the new Lord-Commander, taking on his duties without question and continuing his work for the crown.[/indent][/hider]
