### Inspiration(s)

One of the main characters of The Arcana is **Lucenzo Damaris**- better known as **Lucio**-, the son of the mages Luna and Claudius. His parents are the leader of the Warlocks, technically making him the Warlocks' "prince", as he believes it. He attends Belvoire Academia of the Arcane as a student in his disguised form as "**Lorenzo**", which he would then be sorted into House Terra. Lucio was the one who dealt with the Devil to make him kill his parents and is the reason the Crimson Plague started spreading in Astraea in the first place. This would also be the reason why Lucio's patron arcana is the Devil.

Lucio is inspired by both **Jace Blanchett** and **Michael Williams**, who's the inspiration of Kenji Katagiri in the Beyond Worlds franchise.

## THE DEVIL **Λ**RC

#### **EARLY LIFE**

Lucio was born on December 25th to his mage parents, Luna and Claudius Damaris, who are considered as two-faced; they serve as the bodyguards for Aerith Xalvador all the while being leaders of the Warlocks. Lucio grows up to be a spoiled child under their care, knowing full-well that he's one of the best ones since he was born as a pure-blood mage and into a wealthy family.

##### **THE CRIMSON PLAGUE**

The now 14-year-old Lucio becomes power-hungry like his parents and couldn't wait to rule as the new Warlock leader, that's why he tried to summon the Devil from the Arcana to make a deal with him. He The deal was that the Devil would help him kill his parents so he could rule, and to do that, the Devil gave him the plague to weaken his parents so he could kill them. Lucio would carry the plague until he fulfilled his half of the deal, which is giving him the heart of the most powerful mage*.* If he fails to find the magician the Devil wanted at the age of 18, he would kill Lucio instead.

## PERSON**Λ**LITY

The others' empathy, especially Indirah's, helps Lucio become a better person. Although initially unwilling to accept his mistakes, Lucio eventually feels true remorse for his past actions and is able to take responsibility for them. His growing care for his new friends allows him to become less self-centered, and he also shows off his love for fighting- often putting himself in harm's way to protect his friends, and is even surprised when they show real affection back.

He abuses his magic like any other Warlock would, and is obsessed with reaching his goal to rule the world without others in his way. Lucio would always expect and want more to the things he wanted- he always want things excessively even if they're not necessary, and doesn't also seem to know his limitations. Lucio is also very reckless, as he made a deal with an Arcana (and the Devil at that) even if he knows the consequences and payment it requires. He usually doesn't think before taking action.

## PHYSIC**Λ**L **Λ**PPE**Λ**R**Λ**NCE

Lucio has golden bronze hair that is parted on the right side of his head, wearing his turquoise circlet that his mother gave him. He has turquoise-colored eyes, clearly marking him as a mage. He's recorded to be at least 5'7".

#### **CASUAL**

He wears a white Celtic coat with aqua-colored hems and a neckline over a white button-up shirt; he also has an aqua sash tied around his waist with a second part of it hanging down by his left side. Lucio has a gold cravat around his neck, and he wears black pants and leather boots.

#### **COMBAT**

For Lucio's combat outfit, he has a red overcoat with white linings, which is left open to reveal his light yellow-colored shirt with puffy long-sleeves and gold cuffs. He seems to have tied a white sash acting as a belt around his waist, added with a dark blue corset and a brown belt with a gold buckle. He wears black pants and black leather boots. He has a brown-colored shoulder guard strapped across his torso and other shoulder for security. Lucio also wears a necklace with a red pendant.

## POWERS & **Λ**BILITIES

* **Curse Casting**- Because Lucio is a Pure-Blood mage and a Warlock, he could easily curse anyone without the help of a wand.
	+ **Element Manipulating**- He can manipulate the elements, fire ("Pyro"), water ("Aquam"), air ("Aura"), earth ("Tellus"), ice and snow ("Cryo"), and electricity ("Electro"), with only a wave of his hand.
* **Arcana Summoning**- At the age of 14, Lucio successfully summoned the Devil to help him kill his parents so that he could rule over the Warlocks by himself.

## RECCURING/RUNNING G**Λ**GS

* **"Fuck You, Goatman"**- In *Chapter XV: The Devil*, Lucio says "Fuck you, Goatman" in his narration. Indirah does the same in her point of view, in *Chapter XVII: The Star*.
* **Poor Lucio**- Lucio getting punched; once by Izaiah in *Chapter IX: The Hermit*, and once by Sapphire in *Chapter XV: The Devil*. It's also note-worthy that Izaiah tried to punch him again in *Chapter XV: The Devil*.
	+ **Beware the Frozen Heart**- Similarly, for almost every chapter that they're in, Izaiah always seemed to resort to violence everytime he's with Lucio.

## TRIVI**Λ**S

* His name is derived from the name "Lucius", which is also inspired by Lucius Wagner, the son of Lucifer- the devil- and the titular protagonist of the 2012 psychological-horror game of the same name.
* He's born on December 25th, making the turquoise his birthstone. He wears a circlet with an turquoise in the middle as his paraphernalia.
* Lucio is the only one of the characters to have a Celtic style of clothing, instead of Arabian-Bohemian like the others do. It could be a hint that he's of high class- which is true in a way since he *is* the son of the Warlocks' leader.
	+ He's also the only one who don't wear accessories besides his birthstone paraphernalia, and that his birthstone even isn't attached exactly to his accessory.
	+ His birthstone is the only gemstone paraphernalia to have a benefit to the story as a part of the plot, via seeing the mages' auras.
* In *Chapter XVIII: The Moon*, Lucio says "You got me monologuing!" to Kellan is a reference to what Syndrome said to Mr. Incredible in Disney's The Incredibles.
* Lucio is the first antagonist of all HM projects to be considered as "goofy" and "not serious enough". He's also the first antagonist to eventually become one of the protagonists.
* He's planned to be a yandere by writer **Austin Dy**, but this was scrapped and instead labeled Lucio as "obsessed to not-so-a fault" to Indirah when he saw her as children.
