Lucien

??? (Half-Brother, NPC)

## Application Sheet

Lucien was a dark-gray male wolf, born in Highvalley before traveling to Vektren after murdering his brother. He spent some time in Vektren before leaving the Domain in the company of Rose, a loner. He was created and RP'd by Anhurs.

## Personality

* ***Quiet and Short-Tempered.*** Lucien does not appear to be particularly approachable. He's not outgoing or friendly, and seems rather soft-spoken and quiet most of the time. If you do manage to get something out of him, half the time it's some kind of insult. He's not particularly fond of company and tends to do whatever it takes to keep others away. It takes quite a bit to get him to respect you, regardless of rank. He is not fond of bowing before anyone and can be rather arrogant, perfectly happy to pick a fight with anyone. A "tempest in a bottle," Lucien has a rather short temper and can be extremely violent when provoked. He struggles to maintain healthy relationships and tends to keep to himself and remain rather isolated.
* ***Manipulative and Charming.***That isn't to say he can't be charismatic, however his charm is reserved only for when it can be beneficial for him. He's rather manipulative and has no problems charming his way out of a situation. He'll do almost anything to get what he wants or save his own skin, even if it means hurting someone in the process.
* ***Haughty, but Secretly Self-Doubting.*** Despite his rather arrogant, proud appearance, Lucien suffers from crippling self-worth issues stemming from his upbringing. He's always been looked down upon simply because of whom he was born to, which infuriated him to no end.

## Pre-Group History

Lucien did not have the best start in life, which some would say is the cause of what inevitably transpired. Born a bastard to a pack where only those of noble birth were given respect, Lucien grew up only knowing neglect and abuse. His mother, a lowblood of Highvalley, was assaulted and raped by a passing male. Lucien was the only pup to be born alive, the rest dead before they'd even emerged from their mother's womb. The product of an unethical coupling, Lucien was badly neglected by his mother, whom saw him as just a reminder of what had happened to her. He was nothing more than a bastard born out of wedlock to the rest of the pack, and both himself and his mother were scrutinized and looked down upon. When Lucien was still young, his mother fell in love with a Highblood male. It was not long before they were wed and his mother announced her pregnancy. At first, Lucien had been excited to no longer be alone in his suffering. Now he would have a playmate or two, siblings he could bond with. Unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case. When his brother was born, Lucien saw how his mother adored him. Both she and her mate doted on him and loved him much more than they ever did Lucien. He began to resent his parents and became jealous of his younger brother, whom had everything he'd always wanted.

As they both grew, the two siblings appeared to get along, but Lucien still held a grudge against his younger sibling. His brother was of higher status, being the son of a Highblood, while Lucien was still merely a bastard. Lucien's jealousy began to evolve into resentment as they grew, and finally one night it came to an end. Luring his brother away from the den site, Lucien finally snapped and attacked his sibling without warning. His brother begged for his life, attempting to calm him, but soon Lucien's teeth were at his neck. When Lucien returned home without his sibling, his mother questioned him. He didn't answer, but it was clear what he had done. It wasn't long before several Keepers came to subdue him and placed him before the High King to decide his fate.

Murder in Highvalley was punishable by death, and Lucien was sentenced without any hesitation. It was decided that he would be executed in the morning, however, his stepfather had other ideas. He attacked Lucien with the intent to kill him, but the younger male was much too quick to be taken down so easily. Rather than stay and lose the fight, and his life, Lucien saw a chance to flee in the commotion and took it. He left Highvalley that night and never once looked back. After quite some time of traveling, Lucien came across the pack of Vektren and joined their ranks, hoping to leave the past behind him.

## Group History

His time in Vektren was brief, and he spent most of it under the radar as an omega. Eventually deciding that life amongst the Vektreni was not the life he wanted, he found another ex-Vektreni - Rose - and decided to flee the Domain in her company. Perhaps these two former Vektreni could find a better life outside of the Domain (and, outside of the Domain, they could avoid any contracts or bounties placed on their heads for desertion!)

## Trivia

* Originally from Highvalley, like Klaus. He isn't particularly thrilled to find the Prince among Vektren's ranks.
* Keeps his past to himself, rarely mentioning his family or previous pack. None of the pack are aware of his origins.
* Craves approval and attention, but lacks a healthy way of getting it, instead resorting to more negative means.
