Luke Schwarz -- Brewing Storm

In the space of a half second, Lucas's instincts went from "calm yet cautious" to "DEFCON 1", a bloodcurdlingly saccharine giggle rippling through the halls, into his eardrums, and smashing themselves against every alarm in his head that millions of years of evolution had hardwired, before even conscious thought arose. 

Conscious thought, as it was, continued with the theme and was hot on it's heels, allowing him to make an executive order: Guard up, Gauntlets on.

He had more than half a mind to go all the way to drills, but shoved it back as far as he could for now. 

That would cripple Amy's senses, the high-pitched whirring all but literally driving nails through her eardrums.

Which we need right now, in light this low!

Feeling his own pulse pound within his skull, he prayed his eyes would adjust soon, because he had no doubt in his mind that these... things were bad news.

Name: Jason Alexander

Age: 22

Birthday: February 16th

Magic: Illusory Magic, with a focus upon Stealth. Fairly small-scale, a change in uniform here, a muffled sound there, a suggestion to the senses that nothing is out of the ordinary about things, and that they should just ignore them, or Lux. Uses learnt and codified by those who fly under the radar, and end up making an art of it.

Magic Level: C

History: We all know the story. It's a timeless classic. Out of a generation of young children within some small, backwater village, there is the one kid who simply doesn't mesh. For whatever reason, he doesn't fit in. Childish cruelty? Distasteful nature? Unfortunate victim of social workings? It's tough to say, but likely is a combination of all three. With a pair of constantly-working parents and a precociously canny little sister to his name, Jason otherwise grew up alone. The pariah. The weird kid who you'd rather just be friends with, and tell that coldly to. A veteran of mostly solitary existence, he gained a negative, but surprisingly self-aware worldview. Knowing all the ways he had been hurt by others and how he'd caused him gave him a strange, highly cynical sort of savvy, and he'd learned how to effectively keep himself at arm's length. The type of guy who would be picked last after the fat kid in team games, if he was picked at all. The type of guy who would suffer in silence as you talked about him behind his back, much less quietly than you thought you were. The guy who learned to tune it out and, eventually, tune others out. The guy who learned to affirm and even take a strange sort of pride in his solitary existence, in that he did things his own, unburdened way, solely at his own behest.

Things changed, however, when he decided to go on a journey at the same point as one Lux Harken, hero-in-the-making. They couldn't be less alike if they had tried. Lux was an optimist, Jason a pessimist. Lux was easily liked, heroic, and charismatic, Jason was off-putting and prone to social suicide, and easily played the "villain". Lux's hair was white, Jason's was black. Lux smiled, Jason scowled. You get the picture. It must have been through some miracle that, after Jason's reluctant agreement to Lux's proposal and open hand, they didn't tear eachother's throats out. Lux sooned learned why, no, he didn't have friends, but bless his heart, soldiered on through it time and again over the years to form a sense of... mutual comprehension. They didn't entirely understand one another, and doubtlessly never will, but they have learned that despite their multitude of differences, disagreements, and general oppositeness to eachother, that the other is a man who can be relied on in spite of them. Something which is invaluable as adventurers. Is it complicated? More than you could ever imagine.

But it works.

Personality: Dark, gloomy, and mistrustful, he is a natural loner. Prone to cutting remarks in inner monologue and outer dialogue, he has learned to try and be observant, but sees things through a rather cynical lens (which he would tell you is "realistic"). Decent guy beneath that, though, and is far from lacking in self-awareness.

Guild and guild mark location: None

Team Members: Lux Harken (Somehow.)

Three Strengths: 
1. Passably skilled swordsman. All those years stuck in chuuni-land were good for something after all, it seems, and have left him able to use a katana better than the average idiot who picked one up.
2. Pragmatically-oriented. Or at least likes to think he is.
3. Considers actions carefully. Gloomy and negative attitude aside, it actually takes a lot to get him mad.

Three Weaknesses: (Make them Applicable)
1. Pragmatism is to a fault--willing to be absolutely selfless if it gets things done. (RIP Social Standing)
2. Not strong. Acceptably athletic, especially given his demeanor, but by no means exemplary in combat.
3. Fucking Asshole. Cynical to a fault, nearly unreasonably so. A hearty dose of self-awareness tempers it, but it's not going anywhere.

Greatest Love: Genuineness and Little Sister (P R O T E C T)

Motivation: To understand things a little better. People, the world, you get the picture.
