Lucas Moore

"YOU NOW HAVE TO FACE A GOD OF METAL, YOU MUST FACE THE ONE MAN ARMY!" ~Lucas' Declaration to Volker's TeamLucas Moore is a former member of the Four Kings, abandoning them after his death and the subsequent destruction of his company Moore Pharmaceuticals. He now acts as the Pill for Resurgent, an AI hacker and financier for the group.
== Appearance ==
Lucas Moore's body is no more, and thus his soul has taken on the digital form of the LMOR program. An Artificial Intelligence that can infect nearly any computer on the planet, and control some of the most powerful cybernetic bodies in existence. The program's icon takes on the shape of the Grim Reaper, or a pill, on most devices.
The various forms he takes in the physical world are often built with state of the art military technology, and vary wildly in shape and size. The only consistent feature is they are most often humanoid.
== Personality ==
Lucas is a sadistic and narcissistic program, who revels in the pain and suffering he causes. Throughout battle he belittles his enemies and tears down their accomplishments, genuinely believing most of those he fights beneath him. Moore staunchly believes in the arbitrary nature of the universe, believing you have to handle whatever hand life deals you as best you can, no matter how shit it may be.
While Moore is a terrible human, he is a technological genius, designing most of his bodies himself. Turning himself into a digital consciousness has simply increased his creativity and brilliance with the robots he constructs, each of them more and more advanced than the last.
== Story ==
=== Journey Through Tragedy ===
Lucas Moore was born to Wilhelm and Alicia Moore, Wilhelm being the founder of the incredibly successful company Moore Pharmaceuticals, a company he founded fifteen years ago, which rapidly grew into a multimillion dollar business, and, by the time his son was born, was raking in hundreds of millions every year. That is, until his untimely death at the age of 59, when his son was only 20. This death was no accident, he had been killed shortly after his wife by a competitor, who had hoped to strongarm Lucas into selling the business.
Lucas did not budge. He fought back hard, and kept the business. With the help of good lawyers, and some less than legal investigating, they had the evidence to convict this business enemy, which they did. The man went bankrupt shortly after, his company being bought out by Moore Pharmaceuticals, and Lucas standing proud over a great victory. That is, until one fateful encounter with a super.
One day, whilst being driven to the skyscraper that was the headquarters of Moore Pharmaceuticals, at the age of 23, he was in the crossroads of fate at the wrong time. A rampaging Super was making their way through town, and passed through the road he was on, smashing cars to the side, and ripping people to shreds. This Super eventually made their way to Lucas' car, and tore the passenger door off, ripping Lucas out but leaving his chauffeur untouched. When the monster had moved on, his chauffeur stepped out, only to find Lucas breathing raggedly, torn into several pieces, and his face mangled beyond recognition. He quickly dialed Lucas' personal medical detail.
Lucas was saved, but he was in critical condition, and none of his torn off parts could be saved. The Super who had ripped him to pieces was caught at this point. A beast of a man called Roger Natholm, who plead guilty to all charges, and was sentenced to life in a prison cell constructed specifically for him. Essentially a box made of steel, with null cuffs on him at all times, there was no way for Natholm to break out, and he was left to his own devices. Lucas, however, was on life support, barely alive. The people of his company were working hastily to get a basic organ system for his lower half set up again. While the price was high, it hardly made a dent in the Moore fortune, and Lucas was in a medically induced coma for six months as a body was custom built for him.
When he woke, his lower half was completely transparent, and he could see the artificial organs do their work, and he felt disgusted. He ran to the bathroom, where he vomited. As he watched the vomit leave his stomach, and everything resettle, he puked again. Disgusted by his new form at first, Lucas began nurturing a hate towards supers. As he sat in his room one day, however, he realized that the violence in the city was caused by thoughts like these. And so, he pledged to change that. One and a half years after he was torn to pieces, Lucas Moore made his first appearance on television in a long time. During the interview, he explained that though his body had been ravaged by a Super, he did not blame the man's kind, only the guilty man who had done such a thing, as well as those who perpetuated this hate between the two groups. Since then, he has preached peace between the two groups, and makes frequent guest appearances on the TV show. Because of this he has become somewhat of a household name, a man who believes in peace, who can't love that?
=== Journey to the Kings ===
Lucas, two years after he was ripped in half, began selling drugs illegally, to increase his profit. Anything from cocaine to meth to simple pharmaceutical pills. This became a massive operation, and eventually expanded to a full-scale smuggling ring, with illegal weapons becoming another huge part of the market. At the age of 28, he was contacted by a mysterious figure, Dreadnaught, who told him to prepare for an organization he was creating in NYC. This organization would need a man to manage finance, as well as get their products into the illegal market. That was Lucas' job. Lucas accepted, for simply managing Moore Pharmaceuticals was getting dull and he needed excitement. The entire city being his playground was fine excitement by his count.
Moore became an incredibly influential member of the Four Kings, financing their operations in and out of the city. He was a public figure who could pursue their goals of destabilization and raising tensions in a more subtle and devious manner. The way he presented himself in interviews was that of a polarizing character who riled up Pro-Super folks into increased violence, advocating for extreme measures to be taken for the freedom of Supers everywhere. His case was deemed compelling as he had the most reason to despise Supers in the eyes of the public.
Like all of the Kings he was a man of vice and power. Moore controlled the illegal drug production of most of the east coast of America, bringing in hundreds of millions in profit for him and his allies. All of this money allowed Moore to tinker and refine his arsenal into one mighty killing machine, the One Man Army. This thing was unstoppable on the battlefield, and became feared amidst the smaller gangs of New York. On numerous occasions Lucas conducted raids in the OMA on both financial and police institutions, sowing terror within the city of this mighty mechanical monster.
=== Death of the King, Now Resurgent ===
Roland Masseau headed a team dedicated to specifically taking out Lucas Moore. This team was split into two groups, the Tower team, consisting of Kong, Iva Saskia, Carlos Pérez and Mara MorrisseyMara Morissey and Antie are both characters of the ex-Dominance server member Victoria. The battle with Lucas was Antie's only fight, and Mara's third., and the Dock team made up of Roland, Iva and Carlos once again, and "Antie". After being beaten in one of his old suits by the Tower team, Lucas was teleported to the docks of New York City along with Iva and Carlos by Kong. It was there that he donned One Man Army and proceeded to duke it out with Roland and Iva's monsters, while Antie and Carlos provided sniper support.
After a long and brutal fight, Lucas and Roland were at a standstill. One Man Army had been severely damaged, and Roland was beaten within an inch of his life. To potentially assassinate Roland and with his continued existence assured, Lucas self destructed and set off a massive explosion that destroyed much of the docks. Lucas' mind had been uploaded to the internet, left to roam free after the death of his physical body. In the form of a virus, he infested the computer of an unknown man in New York City, and eventually destroyed the man's life.
Several months later, Lucas reemerged as the Pill, the technological terror of Resurgent. Financing the gang through manipulation of the stock market, draining the bank accounts of thousands, and maintaining his drug empire through the shadows. Lucas joined for the same reason he joined the Four Kings: to run rampant through the city, and do with its people what he pleased. The thought of vengeance against those who wronged him was more of an afterthought.
Lucas finally announced his true identity and his continued life, in the midst of a bank robbery alongside HivemindAnother member of Resurgent, who was killed by Iva Saskia and Saxon Hackett.. Formerly believed to simply be the leader of the armed thugs accompanying Hivemind, Lucas revealed himself in cybernetic form to Laura Wilkinson, declaring her and her allies' failure at stopping him and the Kings. He was eventually defeated by Laura and her allies, who obliterated his physical body. However, due to the digital nature of his mind, he was left entirely unharmed and continues to wreak havoc in NYC.
== Significant Traits ==
* Digital Conscience: Lucas can never truly be killed, as his mind is a digital thing that exists on the internet. This along with his countless cybernetic bodies makes him a threat to truly be reckoned with.
* Extreme Cybernetic Augments: Lucas' bodies all have a variety of abilities and powers, making him dozens of supers in one. This him incredibly unpredictable, as guessing what each body brings to combat is an impossible feat.
== One Man Army Mk2 ==
The One Man Army Mk2 is an intimidating marvel of technology, with a suite of weaponry and advanced systems hidden beneath its mighty metal armor. So far its capabilities and inner workings are largely mysterious.
