[hider=My Hider] [b]Full Name: Lucius Cassel[/b] Nickname: Sir Lucius, The King’s Champion Age: 25 Gender: Male Occupation: Knight Kingdom of Origin: Yulia Description: Lucius stands tall at 6'3 while years of training have shaped his body into a formidable and muscular frame. While possessing no significant or eye popping features Lucius is considered considerably handsome often earning shouts of praise from the common folk. This same appearance however comes with a presence of a man whose not fought in war, but has excelled and conquered in it. Equipment: Griffin’s Fire: A gold plated longsword that has been magically attuned with fire. When needed, Lucius can call upon the blade to ignite as it swings thus increasing the potential to slice through even the strongest of plate armor. Yulian Knights Armor: (Will Fill in later… still thinking of how I wanna approach this) War horse: Glory, a powerful white steed adored with armor and Yulian colors. While being deceptively fast, Glory main strength is in its size and power as it has to be strong enough to support the weight of its rider while also capable of riding through enemy lines in combat. No sane warrior would willingly stand in the way of this duo who have fought numerous battles together less they desire to be cut down or run over. Personality: It’s easy to be bold and daring after emerging from war victorious. Lucius, given the honor of being the “King’s Champion” has taken his ego into new heights. His family had always produced great warriors but his innate talent blossomed during the wars against Aressa and Miriand. Lucius fears little and only holds respect for his King and the veteran battle mages that have aided him in his conquests. If you ask him personally he may hold other knights in high self esteem but in his most private thoughts, Lucius considers himself better than all others who hold the Yulian banner. His desire for greatness is absolute. Skills: A truly talented Knight of Yulia, Lucius is noted throughout the kingdom for his exceptional skill. While he performed admirably in the war against Mirand, Lucius truly came into his own when he was said to have struck down at least a dozen notable Aressa Wolf Knights in single combat during the campaign. Combined with his horsemanship, Lucius is often seen riding in the front and being among the first to enter combat. Because of these accomplishments, Lucius has been named the "King's Champion" thus solidifying his status as one of the King's greatest warriors. Weakness: While possessing great skills Lucius is still only a man protected mainly by his abilities and his own armor. Over confidence in his abilities and reliance on his armor has made Lucius at times sloppy, especially considering that extended conflicts can wear him out and expose him. Fatal Flaw: Lucius by all accounts has the right to be proud and bold considering all that he has accomplished in his young age. Not one to be humbled Lucius often exposed himself to danger if it meant being able to cross swords with notable enemy warriors.Should an enemy learn of Lucius’s tendencies to glorify himself in combat or seek out personal challenges, the young Knight may find himself in a situation that even he can’t fight out of. Brief History: The Cassel family has long served Yulia and their loyalty has earned its rewards. By producing some of the finest soldiers, particularly knights, the Cassel family remains a leading memeber in Yulian war machine. With success comes tradition and with tradition breeds a certain kind of soldier. Lucius Cassel, oldest son of the Cassel patriach has been groomed to take on the mantle of the Cassel family name. When the wars of conquest were under taken it was the young Lucius who eagerly awaited the day he would be called upon to serve his country. At the young age of 18 Lucius earned his chance to show his skills on the battlefield against the neighbor nation in Miriand. Admit tingly there was nothing worthy of praise against this particular country. Still Lucius spilled his fair share of blood and preformed well enough to earn notice from his superiors. It was however against the war against Aressa that Lucius earned his reputation. Because of his previous success, Lucius was allowed to wield the family's legendary sword "Griffin's Fire" and finally come into his own. Battle after battle against the Aressa's forces was a learning experience that accelerated the young knight's growth. But with growth and experience came confidence and with a culmination of skill and will, Lucius became a notable war hero. Time after time Lucius led heavy cavalry into the heart of the enemy while seeking out the fabled Aressa Wolf Knights that were known throughout the entire continent. Lucius claims to not have kept count but rumors of at least a dozen single combat duels had more or less been confirmed with Lucius emerging victorious every time.. [/hider]
