The combination of his thick brows and scruffy beard give him a gruff appearance—and he likes it that way. He is a hulking brute of a man, although he is not the tallest, with the thick figure of a wrestler. His hair is copper colored with light brown eyes to match. Clothing-wise, McConaughan prefers muted and dark colors that allow him to blend into his surroundings easier for hunting purposes. He can often be seen wearing military-style long jackets, steel-toed boots, and a crossbow slung across his back. [center][color=gray][h2]Personality[/h2][/color][/center] [color=indianred][b]Alignment:[/b][/color] Lawful Neutral McConaughan is an extremely stern individual who views himself as a soldier for the people. He feels very protective of those who cannot defend themselves, such as children or the elderly, and sees the supernatural as a threat to humanity. Though it is his goal to cull the supernatural population, he takes no pleasure killing them, seeing it as a necessary evil; a duty thrust upon him by God. [center][color=gray][h2]Origin[/h2][/color][/center] Raised in Northern Ireland by his hunter father, McConaughan has been slaying supernatural creatures his entire life. He trained with a slayer group affiliated with the Guard of the Holy Spirit from the time he was six until age eighteen and then set his sights on climbing the ranks within the organization. When it was discovered, however, that he had been consuming vampire blood in order to enhance his abilities, he was shunned from the Guard of the Holy Spirit and driven to emigrate to the United States. Now, he is working as a lone slayer across the United States, trying to build up his reputation enough to be accepted back into the Guard of the Holy Spirit. But his habit of enhancing his hunting abilities using vampire blood has turned into an addiction that's proving difficult to kick.

His green eyes are prominent in nature, protruding slightly in a way that creates shadowy lower lids common in Middle Eastern ethnic groups. His nose is also quite noticeable from a profile view and has a gentle downward slope. Something about his eyes and smile often convey to strangers that he is in a perpetual state of contentment. [center][color=gray][h2]Personality[/h2][/color][/center] [color=indianred][b]Alignment:[/b][/color] Lawful Good Lucian considers himself a "gentle vampire." He is fond of humans and views them not as mere food, but as givers of life for vampires. After all, without them, vampires would not exist. [center][color=gray][h2]Origin[/h2][/color][/center] Lucian came into existence in ancient Israel, around 7,000 years ago. It is not pretension that the phrase "came into existence" is used rather than "turned" because he was never human. Indeed, if he was, he cannot remember it. Nor was he born. Out of divine magic Lucian was created and, as such, he is a progenitor—the very first vampire of a line. [/hider]
