Having gotten a little taller and bulked up a lot more, even his almost perpetually nervous expression has been replaced by a normally bored frown or bloodthirsty smirk in the heat of battle along with some light stubble on his chin and neck. Lucas even no longer wears the fighting outfits that were several sizes too large for him, instead wearing a pair of jeans, white sneakers and a form fitting white T-shirt. Over it he wears a olive green jacket with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows, on the back of the jacket displays a tiger clawing towards the viewer. He still wears his old handwraps but also dons a forehead covering red bandanna, a memento from his time in Japan.[/indent][/indent] [indent][h3][b][colour=Yellow]PERSONALITY TRAITS[/colour][/b][/h3] [i][colour=Yellow]"I'm in it to win it, baby!

Unless it's someone he knows quite well he is very often crass and disrespectful. Sometimes it is to goad people into a fight for his own entertainment, others it is just simply because he seems to lack a filter, not mincing words to even the most threatening of opponent. [b][colour=Yellow]Bloodthirsty:[/colour][/b] Another obvious shift in Lucas' personality is his increased blood knight tenancies. While not to the level of attacking people at random and outright disgusted at the prospect of picking a fight with those who can't defend themselves, he relishes facing strong opponents. Regardless on whether he wins or loses he will eagerly agree to a fight if the challenger interests him, however due to his increase in skill, most regular opponents do not. [b][colour=Yellow]Laid back:[/colour][/b] In spite of what the above two traits may have you believe, Lucas is usually pretty low key, if somewhat bored during normal everyday existence. No matter his mood he usually adopts a "go with the flow" mentality on most things and doesn't see the point in pontificating on the mysteries of life and philosophical debates. What you see with Lucas is usually what you get.[/indent][/indent] [indent][h3][b][colour=Yellow]BACKSTORY[/colour][/b][/h3] [i][colour=Yellow]"Quote here."[/colour][/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent]The why of your character.

In contrast to his trainer, Lucas prefers to use his fists and feet instead of a weapon, usually flipping his offence between Krav Maga, Sambo and even adopting some American pro wrestling in his grapples. As evidenced by his choice in styles, Lucas strikes are often brutal yet quick, either to debilitate foes outright or drop them on their head. Years of being a joke and punching bag has also honed Lucas' tolerance for pain, he always had extraordinary toughness as one thing going for him even when he wasn't a very skilled fighter but now that he has combined it with strong offensive capabilities he makes for an incredibly deadly foe. Being the bastard son of a demon has enabled him to even tap into more mystical and demonic strength beyond his ki but it is not a skill he likes to use or even cultivate, meaning it only sees slight use in his style.[/indent][/indent] [indent][h3][b][colour=Yellow]SIGNATURE MOVES[/colour][/b][/h3] [i][colour=Yellow]"You're a joke!"[/colour][/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Written In Blue[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Go!"[/i] A much stronger version of Lucas' previously pathetic fireball. Lucas holds a palm up into the air, summoning a crackling ball of blue ki, before clenching his fist and throwing it forward. The ki ball will then quickly home towards the target even if they move. Holding his hand up for longer can summon up to four ki balls to launch. Even when firing one ball however the start up is a few seconds longer than a regular projectile so its use lies more in drawing targets back in or keeping up pressure from a distance.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Dragon Drop[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Bang!"[/i] A powerful but precise counter elbow strike. Right before an opponent attacks, Lucas can parry or hit through their attack with a bone shattering elbow assault to send them flying, if their attack still lands then damage on Lucas is halved. The timing on this move is strict however so Lucas must be in a relatively calm state of mind to reliably pull it off and naturally the opponent must be in striking distance.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Brutal Tiger[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"All yours!"[/i] A flying kick that hurtles Lucas forward a decent distance which, while also quite damaging, can enable him to close the gap more easily in a fight.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Duncan Style Super Piledriver[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Lets get airborne!"[/i] Lucas grabs an opponent by their legs and yanks them to the floor then uses his strength to pick them up by the waist, finally jumping into the air and dropping the opponent headfirst onto the floor.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Million Crack Fist[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA! BREAKDOWN!"[/i] Lucas kicks an opponent's legs out from under them and then knocks them upwards before delivering a series of extremely rapid fire punches at the falling opponent. Lucas claims he actually throws one million strikes in this move but despite its impressive speed it's more likely somewhere in the three hundred range.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Ki Chest Caving One Inch Strike[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"SCUM!"[/i] With a jumping knee to the head, Lucas sends the opponent staggering back and exposing their chest, he then places the fingertips of his open hand against the centre of their chest as his hand shakes and glows a pale blue. Lucas then strikes with a devastating one inch punch that explodes in a wave of blue ki and sends the opponent hurling backwards. If the distance is close enough it can send enemies through walls for extra damage.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Essence Of Dash Step[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Woosh~"[/i] A basic but extremely useful move that allows Lucas to do up to four short range dashes in any direction, allowing Lucas to reposition, dodge attacks or projectiles or even get behind opponents depending on their posistion.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ ARMageddon[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Start takin' notes, Junior!"[/i] A throw reversal where Lucas delivers a vicious headbutt to the opponent to stun their grip before hooking their arms above their head and delivering a double underhook suplex. While still holding on to one arm after dropping them to the floor Lucas transitions into an armbar for extra damage until voluntarily released or broken out of by the opponent.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Psycho Killer[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Give me a FIGHT!"[/i] Delivering two strikes to his own face, Lucas lets the thrill of battle spike his adrenaline as his fists glow a fiery blue, his speed and attack is increased for a short duration.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Meteor Face Breaking Kick[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Lock and load!"[/i] Lucas leaps into the air and hones in on a target on the ground delivering a brutal vertical stomp, Lucas does this three times but can cancel out of it with a backflip if need be.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Sex Pistols Suplexes[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"You can't escape!"[/i] Dashing behind his opponent and wrapping his arms around their waist, Lucas lifts up an opponent regardless of size and drops them on their head with a german suplex, rolling through and delivering three additional suplexes.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Unknown Pleasures[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Arm's on fire..."[/i] Tapping into his demonic blood, Lucas specials glow purple instead of blue and do increased damage, this action also gives his ki time to recharge while its in use. After use it takes a bit of time before Lucas can use it again.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Yellow]■ Spirit Aura Crash Technique[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"Boom!"[/i] A special that can be used during any normal combo or certain special attacks, Lucas body glows a pale blue and his final attack pauses for a second before striking with increased damage and a blast of ki for extra concussive force. While charging Lucas can shrug off most normal attacks but the slight charge time means the move is better used to end combos.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][h3][b][colour=Yellow]SUPER MOVES[/colour][/b][/h3] [i][colour=Yellow]"Jackpot!"[/colour][/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][indent][u][colour=Gold][b]■ Face Off[/b][/colour][/u] [indent] [i]"COME OUT, TIGER!"[/i] No more pussy shit. A white and blue tiger charges out from Lucas' chest and begins to sprint around him and the opponent at an incredible speed, creating an impromptu arena ring around the combatants. Opponents attempting to leave the ring will be clawed back into it for massive damage. This also applies to opponents attempting to leave vertically as the tiger will pause its speed to leap incredible distances and drag the opponent back onto the floor, forcing a one on one confrontation. The opponent must already be close enough for it to be counted as part of the arena however, and the above dangers technically also apply to Lucas. Though given... How he is, he's unlikely to try and bail unless knocked into the ring.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Gold]■ Devil Tiger[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"I'm the one... With [b]power[/b]"[/i] An ability with great potential, but even its current state isn't to be scoffed at. Lucas, somewhat, embraces the demonic power residing with him. Providing a sharp increase to his speed, range and attack power. While he loses access to most of his ki centred moves he gains a few new ones, including the ability to use his demonic arm for incredible feats of strength which ups the danger of his grabs and throws, as well as faster moving and more volatile purple orbs of energy to fire from his hands. This mode will also slowly heal Lucas over time. In this mode Lucas, due to still rejecting and refusing to hone his power, has an 'incomplete' look to him. Only his right arm bares much resemblance to the shadowy demonic looks seen by Rosier and Isabella. Beyond this, Lucas eyes glow a deep purple and his hair turns snow white, making him slightly more resemble his biological father and half-brother.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u][b][colour=Gold]■ Byakko[/colour][/b][/u] [indent] [i]"[Tiger Roar]"[/i] An ultra that can only be utilised while Lucas has DT'd, Lucas forgoes his incomplete devil form to merge his untapped demonic power with his massive amounts of ki, becoming Byakko, a giant white Bengal tiger wreathed in blue flames. In spite of its size, Byakko is deadly fast, able to swipe with its claws and use its teeth almost as fast as a regular opponent can strike. Its size allows it to leap great distances as well as access to a roar ability that can stun most humanoid enemies for a moment if they are close enough.[/indent][/indent] [/indent][/indent] [indent][h3][b][colour=Yellow]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS[/colour][/b][/h3] [i][colour=Yellow]"Shit, man, legs gonna cramp up."[/colour][/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent]Lucas has grown beyond considerably in comparison to how he used to be as a fighter. He is an absolute beast in close combat and his always impressive durability has improved to enable him to take massive amounts of punishments. While he is a, self described, fighting machine, he is by no means flawless. Lucas really struggles against enemies with great mobility, particularly ones who can get airborne, while he has some options to help him out against mostly ground based enemies, he's much more lacking against flying opponents, only able to really use Written In Blue which has a chance for him to be attacked before it can fly, or Face Off which as a special, takes a lot out of him and requires the opponent be close enough for it to entrap them. Lucas also has issues against ranged opponents. He can tank most of their offence and is fast enough to be on the move and get close but again, he doesn't have too many options to return fire short of catching them. Lastly on the psychological side, Lucas has access to devastating abilities and has many answers for close range fighters, but some abilities, such as his parries, require a degree of focus and preciseness to pull off reliably, others actively play into his blood knight tendencies and make him even more chaotic in a fight. While this can be good to keep an enemy on their toes it can also trip up Lucas if his eyes are bigger than his stomach and he overshoots, locking himself off from useful techniques until he gets his head back in the game.[/indent][/indent] [h1][b][colour=Yellow]OTHER[/colour][/b][/h1] [i][colour=Yellow]"Alright, Junior, move along."[/colour][/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][indent]- Since returning from Japan, Lucas has been banned from Neogaf a further two times -In spite of his closeness with the Breicen household and his love of Shonen schlocky fighting based anime and shows, Lucas dark secret is that he's not really into the Justice Rider show all that much. But, at this point, he's pretended to be into it for so long that he's too afraid to come clean.[/indent][/indent][/hider]
