## Personality

Luciliano, nicknamed Luci, is an eccentric boy with many masks. On one of the masks, he wears the disguise of a happy-go-lucky average dork with an interest in photography and video games. He's known to be a hyper spirit who always smiling or laughing about one thing or the other. He has trouble controlling his energy so he's constantly fidgeting and moving around, even if he doesn't mean to. He enjoys expressing the emotions he is unable to show others through his photography which tends to surprise many with how dark it is, expressing many controversial themes.
Behind that facade lies a deeper one that one may find if they pry deep enough. This layer has a harsher undertone and is reserved for family and close friends. He loses some of his hyperactive spirit and becomes colder as well as more protective. He becomes more of a leader figure and controls his energy better. His confidence lowers as self-doubt and insecurities pile up on him and could only be viewed by someone he is close enough to reveal himself to. He has a tendency to sing or hum tunes subconsciously as it calms him. He's very aware at his talent in singing but makes no effort to flaunt it.

The last layer is one that only his victims get to experience. This mask is powered solely by murderous rage and cold smiles. He becomes the killing machine that the Enchantress had molded him into and loses all sense of empathy or sympathy as well as mercy. A cold-blooded killer, he often feels no regret when taking others' lives until months after the act or not at all. He perceptive and statistical, being able to decipher breaks in patterns which also makes him a skilled hacker. He knows how to read others expression as well as conceal his own emotions as he does so, leaving no traces like an underworld hacker. Despite the fluffy tone, Luci is not someone to be messed with and will do what he can to prove so.

## History

Hajin Kim was a well-seasoned bounty hunter with the occasional assassination or two under her name, living in the depths of the Island of Hades. Hunting down criminals like herself was her job and if she got lucky, some high company would pay her a couple hundred thousand to get rid of a pest. So, for the most part, she was living a comfortable life excluding her job. One night, she encountered another bounty hunter searching for the same target. They decided to team up and split the money later, and after they had caught and turned in the target, the bounty hunter introduced themselves as Giovi Simonetti.

Giovi and Hajin fell in love and later married a year later, working together as bounty hunters. However, Giovi was growing tired of his job and began an online course in computer science. Hajin didn't approve of his choices but did not stop him from pursuing his interests. She even celebrated with him years later when he received his degree. Weeks later, his pregnant wife gave birth to a baby boy on the fourteenth of March. Tragedy struck soon after, and in a high-speed chase, Hajin was killed in a car crash.

Devastated, Giovi fled to the Otherworld with his son where he returned to his old home in Italy which had been vacated due to debt. With the money he and Hajin had acquired over the years, he easy bought the home back and was furnishing the place within a month. The house itself wasn't too spacious, but large enough that it was intimidating. It was out in what some could consider the countryside of Italy and was decorated with marble and stain-glass windows.

Luciliano grew up knowing nothing of his mother, the only thing he that familiarized himself with her was his amulet, which his father claimed was a necklace his mother used to wear often. He attended school like any normal child yet the blood of bounty hunters ran through his veins. Giovi grew paranoid after he discovered some traces of a rookie hacker, possibly trying to track him down. He quickly began teaching his son how to fight and defend himself as well as how to turn the things around him into weapons.

By the time Luciliano was ten, he could defeat and murder a grown man. Giovi taught him computer science too, so Luciliano wouldn't be caught by surprise by some virus or a hacker coming after Giovi and his son. It did nothing to solve Giovi's paranoia and anxiety. Within in a couple of months, he had committed suicide right in front of the ten-year old's eyes. Traumatized, Luciliano lost his happy spirit as he was bounced across the country to different foster homes. Two years of this madness passed, and then Luciliano was rescued by some unknown force with an infamous name.

The twelve-year old had reached puberty and experienced his Awakening with an ache of curiosity and fear, yet without receiving a new amulet, only realizing the power of the necklace he had worn since he was one. He found his own way into the Mirrorworld the day after, when he had been staring at the bathroom mirror just a bit too long. That was the last trace of him that his current foster family had seen of him.

Said anonymous force had brought him to the Empress' Palace in old, ripped clothes and spindly and sunken frame from starvation and mistreatment. He was greeted by a blonde-haired girl around his age, with long blonde hair tied in a tight ponytail and a lazy yet devilish grin. She introduced herself as Zero and brought Luciliano to the Enchantress where he met the dark-haired legend.

To say the least, Zero and Luciliano, now dubbed Thirty, clicked. Although two years later she left for the International Institute for Young Mages for a long-term surveillance mission, they found ways to keep in touch. During this time, he had risen several ranks till he was Twenty Two. There was a new Zero now who Luciliano remembered having strange yet interesting conversations with. Zero was a quiet and observant person who ghosted around most of the time, but he could never escape Luciliano's eccentric attitude which had returned over the course of years.

However, as they grew older, Zero grew more distant. The other struggled to recognize why Luciliano was talking to him and became quite surprised when he was greeted by the go-lucky spirit. Distressed, Luciliano looked into the predicament and discovered that the Enchantress was using her power over the Dreamscape to erase Zero's memories. At that moment he had also discovered his power over the Dreamscape and began to work at it, desperate to one-day release Zero's old memories.

Using persuasive words, Luciliano convinced the Enchantress to send him in early to continue training in the Dreamscape as well as his hacking abilities in secret. Fortunately, she obliged and sent him to the International Institute for Young Mages where an all too familiar group of assassins remained.

Including his old friend Zero, the runaway Zero, One, Two, Seven, and Fifty-Four. The one thought to circulate in his head as he scanned the list of students attending that year was:

Crap.

It occurred to him that five out of those six would be in commission and on alert so he did the logical thing. Took everything he had and scrammed. He had many other reasons for leaving the Enchantress' side but he needed to work in private without the other assassins, five of them being part of the Big Ten breathing down on his neck for his unscheduled appearance. He brought every piece of technology he owned with him too since they all contained personal files he didn't want anyone else to see.

He left the Empress' Palace in the middle of the night and stayed at a stranger's house. During the day he searched for his own apartment and found a cheap but comfortable one downtown near IIYM. He rented it out with the money he had and soon requested to work at the movie theater as a part-time job which had reasonably good pay, some may even say amazingly good pay. He continued off from what tutors taught him through online courses, dreading the day he became eighteen and inherit his father's house.

His birthday came and went and suddenly he found himself in the world of bounty hunters, discovering the roles of his mother and father. He decided to join the league and hunt for criminals, as it would keep his defense and fighting skills fresh as well as prove as minor exercises for his mind. Soon he moved from his cheap apartment to a penthouse in Royalwood. No one had any idea what an eighteen-year-old wanted with Royalwood penthouses, but no one said anything. Luciliano still had two more years before he became an adult but with the threatening glare he gave the person at the desk, no one dared to interfere.

He visited the Otherworld a few times to see the house and how it was doing. He put some magical traps around as well, so anyone interested in robbing what valuable things he had stored there couldn't. He placed a body-sized mirror in there too for easy travel. Later he enrolled himself in IIYM at last minute, finally believing that he was off the grid enough to go school.

The night before he moved into the IIYM dorms, he returned to the Empress' Palace to retrieve something that he believed would help him. He snuck in easily enough but getting back outside undetected was much more difficult than he originally estimated. He got caught last minute but by the help of Six, he escaped. However, he showed up to his first class late, which raised a good number of rumors. The rumors didn't stop with the headline that was dancing on virtual newspapers and magazines and on news channel.
