## About

Lucid is a dragonoid character in Season 2 of the Dystopian SMP Lore. He was added on November 16th, 2022. He's portrayed by Lu\_cids (she/he/they)

Lucid was not in Season 1 and has no prior knowledge other than what others have told him.

## Personality & Appearance

Lucid is a stoic dragon who resides in the temple below the great dragon statue in the NW portion of the City of a Hundred Souls. He keeps to himself for the most part, only really venturing out for supplies or mercenary work for those within the city. He's not much of a talker but will politely engage with others if they initiate conversation as to not be rude. He likes staying busy and having tasks to do, so if he doesn't assign himself something he'll go around and see if anyone could use some help.

Lucid is 8'1, has fair skin with splashes of scales/purple pigment covering most of his body, black sclera with white pupils, and pure white hair kept in a ponytail to show off his full undercut. He has a very large pair of black scaled wings and a matching tail, as well as large curling horns (the left is broken). His ears are purple and the color fades to his cheeks, where he has scales dotted by his eyes. His right arm is clawed and covered in very tough scales up to his clavicle. He wears a mask that he's never seen without.

## Abilities & Skills

Lucid is an extremely skilled fighter, able to use whatever he can get his hands on as a weapon- though his usual weapon is a very large great-sword. He also uses a mix of his tail, wings and very strong legs in his fight style.

As a dragon, he's very skilled when he takes to the skies. He can reach incredible speeds as well as pull off daring moves with little time to prepare. He feels at home when flying so he can often be seen just gliding around above the City.

Coming from a long line of ancient dragons, Lucid has the special gift of tampering with dreams at the cost of him never dreaming himself. He's able to put vivid dreams of his choosing into people's minds and control the emotions it makes them feel. Sometimes it's a blessing, being able to cure those he loves from horrible nightmares. But other times, he's the one giving them.

## Character Relationships

**Cedar** was the first person Lucid met when he woke up from his hundred-year sleep. After learning a bit about the bat, he saw a bit of himself in the younger creature and they were quick to form a tight bond, Lucid even offering to let Cedar live in his cave until their own home was finished being built. The pair connected most over their similar pasts and appreciate how neither presses the other to delve deeper into what they experienced, giving them both a common sense of security which helped them bond as they did. The two get along extremely well and are very playful, often playing games or flying around the city for hours at a time instead of getting anything done. While silly, they are still both extremely protective of each other, and seldom did Lucid ever let them wander off and explore on their own. Lucid is often dragging the little bat out of trouble while Cedar is the one getting them both into it- it's never a dull moment with them around.

Together the two run the Dispensary in the mall, which was Cedar's idea and Lucid was just happy to help out.

**Dwynn** is the second closest person to Lucid at the current moment. The two met at the mall while he was buying flowers, and having come up short on cash Dwynn blessed him with a sudden act of kindness he would never forget. It wasn't long before he was trying to pay her back and then some, and over time it evolved into little gifts and favors for the other, and soon enough they were close friends before they even knew it. The pair love to spar and go on flights together and can often be found soaking in the hot springs after a long day. They're pretty much joined at the hip. So where there's one, there's the other.

Lucid holds a strong instinctual need to keep Dwynn safe for reasons he doesn't yet know, even though she can absolutely handle her own. He trusts her almost more than any other and loves following her around to see what's new around town. Begrudgingly though, Dwynn is always forcing him to interact with others and introduce himself when meeting something new, but he can never say no to her so he plays along. The two are extremely close and kind to one another, however this will never stop their playful banter and occasional flying-tag chases around the City.

**Erilia** met Lucid that day in the mall and was the one to sell him his flowers. The two get along really well and Lucid seems to have some trust in her. He'll help her out with heavy tasks which Erilia can't quite manage herself, and in return she helps him with the little things that are more difficult for a dragon his size to accomplish. She even made him his current outfit from scratch after he woke up, not wanting him to be walking around in tattered rags. He appreciates her kindness and all she's done for him, though, due to the company she keeps, he still stays on his toes when others are around.

    **Kien** - Met Lucid after the dragon had an unfortunate encounter with a warden while still in his freshly awoken state. He came to Kien for medical help, trusting him enough after seeing him get along with those in town and he was also the person closest to his home.

**Ashelyn** is on semi-rocky terms with the dragon atm

**Robin** - tiny drago bud

**Rhily** - fairy cave squatter

## Story (W.I.P.)

About a hundred years ago, Lucid discovered a long forgotten temple from his people long past and decided to explore it and learn his history. While exploring the ruins, he ended up falling asleep until the current day and was quite dazed and confused when he woke up to a whole city being built outside. Bit by bit he left and explored the town, eventually meeting people and getting a bit more comfortable with the place.
