Holocaust

### Classification

Blaster, Shaker (As Holocaust)Brute, Trump, Blaster, Shaker, Mover (As The Slayer)

### Base of Operations

Manhattan, New York

Lucas, better known as Holocaust, is a supervillain and current iteration of The Slayer. He was a tertiary antagonist in Inbetween: Oakland and secondary antagonist in Inbetween: New York.

## Personality

Heartless and needlessly cruel, Lucas is one of the more violent members of the Slayers. He holds grudges and is a firm believer of ‘two eyes for an eye’ revenge. Misogynistic, going after women both friend and foe. He is impulsive and arrogant.

A dangerous parahuman who has killed both cops and capes, he uses his radiation to horrifically scar not only his opponents but girlfriends and girls who rejected him.

After becoming the next Slayer, his personality shifted somewhat. He is noticeably more devious and spiteful. He became marginally less abusive because of his handicap. He is doing better than other iterations in maintaining his identity, but is slipping away faster each day. He has, so far, refused to call him Slayer, but sometimes slips into the mentality under heated moments.

## Relationships

### Blood Moon

Lucas’ relationship with Blood Moon is one of contempt and antagonism. He lords over the timid boy, never passing an attempt to belittle him. Despite this, Blood Moon remains utterly devoted to the man, ignoring his flaws and problems. Lucas rarely returns these feelings, only congratulating him the way a person might a dog.

After losing his arm, he became reliant on Blood Moon for an extended period of time. He begrudgingly tolerates him, going so far as to– sometimes– hold back an insult or barb.

## Appearance

A man with naturally blonde hair that he dyes a disgusting yellow-green. Lucas has pale skin and always looks like he hasn’t slept for a week. His appearance is that of a punk rocker who spends too much time doing drugs and not enough playing music. He has a number of tattoos on his arms and neck, though they are usually covered by his clothing.

His costume consists of worn shirts and jeans with a vague punk aesthetic. His face is covered behind a sickly green skull locked in a macabre grin. He is missing his left arm above the elbow but below the shoulder, the cut terminating at his upper bicep.

## Abilities and Powers

Holocaust is a powerful Blaster/Shaker with the ability to generate radiation. He can generate relatively low amounts of radiation across his entire body or he can focus the energy in a heavily concentrated ray that becomes increasingly lethal the tighter the beam. At its smallest, roughly half the size of a dime, it easily damages living tissue and kills remarkably swiftly. He trades lethality for area of effect. It is remarkably difficult to dodge his attacks as the energy he produces travels incredibly fast. Even if a person manages to survive an encounter with him, they are still stricken with radiation sickness.

He is immune to his own power, along with all forms of radiation. While he wouldn’t survive the initial blast of a nuclear bomb, he is more than likely to survive the fallout.

While his costume and appearance has a subtle green motif, the radiation he produces is entirely invisible. At high concentrations, there is a slight ripple as it superheats the air around it.

After killing the Slayer, Holocaust became the tenth iteration of the parahuman. He has a number of additional powers, but usually doesn’t use them because of his own belligerence and narcissism.

Pain aura. When 'flared' the pain is potent enough to send someone into cardiac arrest.

## History

During the Merry Band attack, Holocaust lost his left arm to Scarlet. Blood Moon was able to keep him alive with his own power, but (obviously) couldn’t restore the arm. Seething with hatred, he forced Eraser and Blood Moon to help him kill the Slayer, becoming the next iteration. Because he’d lost the arm prior, Slayer’s abilities were unable to restore his missing limb, much to Holocaust's dismay.

He, Blood Moon and Eraser fled the city, tail between their legs, across the country to New York. His new regenerative abilities were unable to restore the ego he lost from losing his arm, and he has only just begun to get back to his old self. He is increasingly obsessed with continuing the legacy of the Slayer, working endlessly to appease the voices in his head.
