Lucian Arbred

*"Much to Lucian's relief, Sawyer somehow didn't fall on the way over to look at what other food was available. They were only half-Naruto-running. He couldn't help but wonder if Sawyer still thought of this as a dream, a hallucination, a drug trip, something along those lines. Lucian knew that could possibly be the case. But somehow, in his mind, he doubted it. This just felt real somehow. And unless he was oblivious to the passage of time and this was simply a normal dream, it seemed unlikely. When you thought about it, all the pieces connected to it being real. The only thing that seemed odd was the bear robot and the Killing Game phenomenon. But was it really that unbelievable, that there was a robot conducting this? Or that, someone could be controlling said robot for this operation? The question he wanted to know was, why? We're they all being punished for something? Was it merely an experiment? Was the one running it something of a sadist?" - Lucian Arbred, to himself, about the idea of the Killing Game.*

Lucian Arbred is a male character in Danganronpa: Blood And Water. He's the Ultimate Therapist, which might be made apparent by how much more he is a listener than a talker, and how subtle he tends to be in what he does. He hasn't developed very close relationships just yet, but he was noticeably closest with Sawyer Laurens and Kaoru Kajiwara. That is, until Kaoru died.

## Personality

Lucian Arbred is a very, very quiet individual. Probably the quietest participant. He almost never speaks. He thinks far more than he speaks or acts, his mind always a staircase ahead of where he puts his feet. Often his mind is somewhere else, thinking ahead about what he observes.

He has a frequent habit of reading other people's facial expressions, attempting to discern the possible meaning behind everything. He is a mostly kind and peaceful person, who may seem a bit aloof and distant at times. Certain things can really tick him off, but he's not usually vocal about it. (Like pretty much everything else).

When Lucian speaks, he communicates his thoughts as briefly and subtly as possible, probably to maintain a level of secrecy and not give anything away to the wrong person. His secretive nature is most notably shown thus far in how he distracted from the situation with Kaoru and Miyako, because with Kaoru he had a certain level of understanding. He realized that something was going on with her, and he had to find a way to prevent Miyako from acting out dangerously against her.

He often feels the need to clean up others' messes and to prevent them from getting in trouble, most notably with Sawyer. This tendency of his is most likely what caused him to connect with Kaoru.

Lucian is a rather intelligent and observant person, but he suffers from an utter lack of self-confidence, and perhaps being too willing to help others if they don't seem outwardly threatening to him. He seems to be someone who learned to maintain a cool head in most situations, how this occurred is unknown. However, it is possible that it is due to his talent.

He can also have a habit of judging people too quickly, forming assumptions about them that may not be true, which may affect how he acts towards them to an extent.

He is not exactly shy, but he is noticeably introverted and reserved, possibly because he prefers to observe than to participate in conversations and events.

He tries his best to be kind and helpful to others, although this may be because he feels obligated to do so.

Amusingly enough, although Lucian is normally one of the calmest and quietest members of the cast, he becomes a blushy, stammery, chattering mess around Kubo. This is possibly due to Kubo being Lucian's first crush, and Lucian not being sure how to process it.
