A Hollow Life
Life Lucks
Life sucks. That's what Lucius believes. Born to rich and self absorbed parents, he has no drama in his past, no abuse or tragic event. He was simply born in a family without joy or love, born to be a drone which will inherit his rapidly aging father's company, the multi-national medical corporation that his father and grandfather built before him.
Some would rebel, fight for a better life, but he was born hollow, devoid of strength or motivation or even any hope of anything worth standing up for. Instead, he simply engaged in what passive form of rebellion he could. Goth regalia and hanging out with all the wrong persons were what he found.
Eventually even that started losing its meaning and power to irritate his family, and so he fell deeper. Spending his time diving into any occult books and information he could to find, he eventually unearthed something even better in the most mundane of playing cards.
He who had longed for a fate greater than the mundane found not only it, but a way to see and even control that fate. What once was luck was now his playground...
Taking his backpack filled with books, playing cards and a few hundred dollars stolen from his father's safe, he left the house in the middle of the night without a trace. From then on, he was Lucius Kane the Street mage
A Better Life?
Life on the street was hard, but he learned fast. In a few weeks, he'd learned how to survive and even make decent amount of money. All that was required was some slack ethics.
However using his new found power openly to con people out of their extra money gathered the attention of several similar individuals. They called themselves the Hollow Ones and offered him to join them, claiming they would teach him more occult secrets.
Two years flew by. Living with the other faux-vampires and Gothic mages taught him many tricks, and a good number of them could rival a circle of thorn's magus. After learning al lthey had to teach, however, he'd had his fill of their nihilism and passive revolution...
He was like this in order to find his own identity, not to complain without taking action...And so it was once again time to move on to the next step.
Same shit, Different Asshole, or Maybe not.
Once more, he spent a few more months living on the street making money via gambling. However this time he was carefully dodging cults and cliques just to be safe. In time, fate smiled upon him once more with the arrival of a silver haired lady.
At first she was only another mark, fortune telling, girls 'LOVE' that shit. However, this one offered for him to follow her somewhere. Before he knew it, he had joined another group. This one was different than the others. No competition or cultism going on, and people there seemed to just work because that was their purpose.
This group, was The Novus ordo arcanium.
The in and out of the Hollow One
From the Inside
Deep inside, Lucius is a broken man, one that never found a place for himself in the world, continuously drifting and seeking answers that were never what he wanted. It's no surprise that at 23 he has become a melancholic person avid of something better or at least something to forget himself in. Rather than show this outwardly, however, he interacts with the world around him through a cold, amoral demeanor. He'd rather people see him as a dark trickster than simply a lost soul.
Nothing but a shell
On the outside, he would look like your typical goth. Dressed head to toe in dark leather, harboring a ebony ponytail, a full beard, and skin so pale one could mistake him for a vampire. His cold gray eyes don't do anything to often his image, either. All in all, Lucius could be best described as crow-like.

OOC Notes
- Lucius Kane is a character strongly inspired by the Mage: the Ascension pen and paper RPGs. The player however is not going to enforce it on others and is only using it for a clear metaphysics of magic.
- Aura is Dark brownish yellow: "A student, or one who is straining at studying; overly analytical to the point of feeling fatigued or stressed; trying to make up for "lost time" by learning everything all at once."
- Mind is unprotected and willpower is relatively weak
- Often wears a silver skull pin on his trench coat
- Appearance is due to to a very high entropic ressonance
