Aegis Lucifer

**Aegis Lucifer**「イージスルシファー *Ījisu Rushifā*」 is one of the central characters in the CONTROL universe and a trainee at Tyuromi Barusko, with a control level of 10% ranked within the facility as a Level A.

## Appearance

Aegis is a young male of average height and a fairly average body type. He has short spiky black hair with red highlights and bright yellow eyes, which earned him the nickname Neko-boy by some. He's usually seen wearing a black leather jacket over a yellow tank top, a pair of blue jeans and casual white Jordans. However, he has a habit of constantly changing his outfit depending on his mood or the occasion if it requires.

Lucifer's back is noted to have a large scar that is yet to be seen, the reason behind it as well still remains a mystery.

## Personality

Aegis is a calm and composed individual, though outrageous in his own manner, he is credited for cheering others in tough situations and poses as a leading role for the others, despite having the lowest control level among all other trainees. His motives to continue with life is to find a way he can free Japan from the government, and expose them to the world, which is the reason that causes him to constantly push himself to become stronger, considering himself too weak to achieve what he wants.

Despite being weaker than the rest of his same age, Lucifer is the most hard working one of them, enduring the government's flawed ways of training in order to become stronger and eventually counter them with their own ways. However, several months after making that claim, Aegis escaped the facility and sought out a mentor along with the other Rogues to train them properly, and quickly.

On casual days, Lucifer is rather dumbfounded by simple manners, despite being ridiculously intelligent when it comes to advancing his power, he is naive and simple-minded. With carelessness and a boisterous demeanor, he's usually mistaken for the group's jester, when he doesn't intend to be funny at all. He also has a very tensed relationship with fellow Level A trainee, Kazuto Supesu, as the two never really get along and always pose opposing ideas. He also finds Rai Hanako very cool and the two are often seen goofing off together, despite the latter never considering Aegis a friend.

Aegis is also a big supporter of Yumi's, as he sees her as a sort of younger sister and is always highly overprotective of her. This was evident when Rai was unintentionally teasing the girl for being mute, thought Aegis merely asked him to stop without any ruckus.

## History

Since as far as he could remember, Aegis lived in an orphanage and has never met his parents, nor did he ever hear of them. He spent his childhood happily among the rest of the kids in the orphanage and was on good terms with the sisters there. One day while playing with his siblings, Aegis accidentally vaporized the ball using his mental abilities, which the other children found funny. However, little did he know, that he was instantly spotted by one of the sisters, who reported the incident to the government. Merely 4 hours later, several men wearing tuxedos and donning armors, coming from several armored vehicles and helicopters above the orphanage began descending, planting fear within all the children. Aegis was terrified, to the point that he could not willingly use his power as a bunch of the men spoke with the sisters, before inevitably taking the boy with them. It wasn't long after that Aegis found himself in the cells of experiments at Tyuromi Barusko, where he was asked to demonstrate his powers. A frightened Aegis did not respond and failed to comply due to the amount of fear within him. The directors then decided he would be placed on queue until he can aggregate his powers again.

Several hours later, Lucifer was brought back to the cell and once more asked to demonstrate his power. Despite not being entirely sane, he was able to execute commands to some level, focusing his sight on the examiner before him, and before he even realized it, he had popped one of the examiner's hairs out of its place, hovering above the man's head. A feat that only those from Level B and above can achieve, certainly amazed the directors whom perplexity took over due to his control level being a mere 10%. One of the directors deduced to the boy's hidden potential, and what a strong and genuine feeling like fear can force him to do, commenting that it is a fearsome feat indeed. Aegis was taken to his dorm room soon after and was placed with Rai Hanako, Ryuu Akiyama and Kazuto Supesu who arrived days before him.

## Power and Abilities

Despite being one of the oldest in the facility's current Level A generation of controllers, Aegis is the weakest among them, possessing only a control level of 10% and highly basic Physique abilities. He's shown capable of using his Mentality powers however on the entrance exam, forcing a single hair out of the tester's head, which fascinated the directors as such feat required great concentration and would usually be expected of a Level B trainee, deducing to the boy's potential.

### Attribute

Aegis is one of the few All-Rounders in the series, making him a very dangerous young man. He has shown potential that far exceeds any of his peers, despite being the weakest of his generation and the sole one of them who's yet to be able to project Mid-Range abilities of any kind. The facility trainers usually compare him to Rai Hanako as the only All-Rounders in the facility, they are both given slightly different training regimes.

### Specialty

Aegis' specialty is yet to be revealed, as he himself has no idea of what it is. However, he has shown great interest in knowing his special and unique powers, to the point of asking Gaia DelArian to try and see it with her Silver Eyes, but the latter was not able to locate any specialty within the boy.

### Techniques

Despite not yet engaging in battle, Aegis has shown a few techniques unique to himself in the training fields, such as:

* **Propagator Field**「プロパゲータフィールド *Puropagēta Fīrudo*」: Using his Physique attributes, Aegis enlarges his muscle mass by 20%, increasing his physical strength and speed by several folds. Using this technique, he was able to stand foot to foot with Totsuka, a trainee of the Physique attribute, for an elongated time, sustaining minor fatigue afterwards.

* **Radiation**「放射線 *Hōshasen*」: Using this technique, Aegis is capable of utilizing his Mid-Range attributes to create a beam of bright yellow, similar to a sun ray, which burns its target upon physical contact.

## Trivia

* Aegis' name contains several mythological meanings:
	+ In classical art and mythology, Aegis is an attribute of Zeus and Athena (or Jupiter and Minerva), usually presented as a goatskin shield.
	+ Lucifer, aside from referring to the demon *Lucifer*, in latin means "Morning star" or "Planet Venus", or as an adjective translates into "Light-bringing". The contradiction between light and darkness in this name is a clear reference to the later introduced dark clone of Aegis.
