## **Biography**

### **Early Life and the Clone Wars**

Lucian was born into a group of Matukai, a Light Side Force tradition known to travel in groups of around half a dozen around the galaxy with no central leadership like the Jedi, on the jungle planet of Praadost II some years before the onset of the Clone Wars. The first years of Lucian's life were peaceful, and the group of eight Matukai lived deep inside the jungles of the planet in relative solitude - content to stay on their own and practice their religion. Both his parents were Matukai, as their own parents had been, and Lucian was recognized as particularly strong in the Force by the covert's elder only a few years into his life.

However, the enclave would not live at peace forever, as with the beginning of the Clone Wars the local governor of Praadost II would align with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As the Matukai were decentralized unlike the Jedi, some coverts swore their allegiance to Count Dooku and the Separatists due to viewing them as the lesser of two evils compared to the corruption of the Republic and inaction of the Jedi. However, Lucian's covert's elder refused to sacrifice the lives of the men and women of his covert for a potentially futile cause, opting to stay well away from both the Separatists and the Republic.

Though the particular covert that Lucian was a part of managed to stay neutral in the conflict, considering the proliferation of new Matukai apprentices to continue the tradition to be more important than any one given war, the tensions raised by the Clone Wars would remain with the covert for a long time. Note-worthily, Lucian begun to receive both psychical instruction and instruction in the Force by the waning years of the conflict, with his father Rharo taking him as his formal apprentice, though other members of the covert including it's elder gave the young Lucian additional instruction and guidance at times.

### **Dark Times**

In 19 BBY, when Lucian was barely six years old, the Clone Wars ended with the proclamation of the New Order and the end of the Galactic Republic. The Jedi Order, which the Matukai considered to have good intentions, but inefficient and misled compared to their own ways, had been purged almost overnight. While the Matukai had not partaken in the so-called Jedi insurrection, they nonetheless became priority targets of the new Emperor's Inquisitors due to their status as a Force-based organization. Fleeing Praadost II, Lucian's group would travel across the Outer Rim in search of a new safe-haven.

Hopping from world to world, with preference to icy worlds with a low likelihood of an Imperial presence, the Inquisitorious would quickly begin to track Lucian's covert of Matukai. Ambushed at night, two of the Matukai in his covert would perish while the remaining six fled into the night and eventually got off-world. Sensing that their time raising their child might be limited, both of Lucian's parents would place additional focus and effort into seeing their only son forge his wan-shen polearm and be proclaimed an Adept of the Matukai. Years passed with the covert managing to evade further Imperial attention, though they had certainly not been forgotten by the servants of the Empire.

### **Graduation & Tragedy**

Raised to the rank of Adept and allowed to forge his wan-shen at the age of twenty, younger than most Matukai historically, Lucian's covert would not have much time to adjust. Having been following the covert for some time, the Empire would strike during the traditional festivities and celebrations that followed. Caught largely off-guard by the Empire's attack, the covert would put up a valiant although in the end doomed last stand. Participating in the skirmish, during which Lucian displayed significant martial prowess, he was eventually forced to flee with the rest of his covert dying from their wounds or captured by the Imperials.

Ending up on Dantooine where he briefly sought employment as a bodyguard for various underworld entities to feed himself, Lucian would be approached by a covert member of the Rebel Alliance shortly after completing a contract for a spice smuggler with loose ties to the fledgling Rebellion. Having been told that he had been vetted, and that his capabilities had been noted, he was invited to join the Alliance and fight against the empire. Lucian agreed, glad to finally fight for a cause that would bring him closer to bringing those responsible for the deaths of his family, friends and so many others to justice.

### **Rebellion**

Lucian entered the Raioballo Sector Force as a new recruit, glad to enact revenge against the Galactic Empire. Partaking in a handful of skirmishes after being trained as a soldier for a couple of months, his determination, Force-sensitivity and skill as an unarmed combatant would be quickly noticed by his superiors, and he would receive the offer to join the Special Forces shortly afterwards. Assigned to the Wilderness Fighters due to his knowledge of often hostile parts of nature and resilience, Lucian continued to serve with the Alliance for a number of years and climbed up the enlisted ranks. Advising his fellow SpecForce soldiers in hand-to-hand combat when they weren't deployed or training for a new mission, Lucian was regarded by most if not all of his compatriots as an incredibly capable and motivated soldier with a good heart.

However, despite the dozens of missions and operations that he partook in, Lucian begun to realize during the latter end of the Galactic Civil War that he was no closer to bringing either the Inquisitors who had massacred his family, or those who had ordered the assault on the covert, to justice. Growing jaded with both the Alliance and the war as a whole, and beginning to explore the Force from a point of view less than conventional for a Matukai, Lucian would choose to receive a honorable discharge from the Rebellion shortly after the Battle of Endor. Cashing in the credits he had earned from both his work as a bodyguard and then as a soldier, he purchased a ship and supplies and set out into the wider galaxy to both learn more of the Force as well as himself.

## **Personality**

Lucian's personality was that of a stoic but highly outgoing man struggling with substance abuse as well as post-traumatic stress from both childhood trauma and warfare against the Empire during his time with the Alliance. Weary of war and conflict, Lucian hopes to find himself an occupation that allows for him to practice his Matukai ways without having to ever use them in battle again. Lucian was a friendly and caring person, with great amounts of respect for his fellow man and his rights. Lucian considered the Empire to be a blight on all life, sentient and non-sentient, saw the former Republic as feeble, and the Separatists as malicious while sympathizing with the fate of the Jedi.

Lucian's view of the Force developed through the years. Though the Matukai preferred to focus on psychical, direct manifestations of the Force unlike those of the Jedi, Lucian begun to see the usefulness of external applications of the Force during his time in the Alliance, and begun to practice applications such as telekinesis to heighten his knowledge and strength in the Force. However, his views of the Light and Dark Sides has remained ever-constant, and as such Lucian was a devoted warrior of the former.

## **Psychical Description**

Lucian's psychical build was indicate of his highly martial lifestyle, as he stands tall and straight with a tightly muscled and wide-shouldered body. Impressively strong with high stamina and agility due to his grueling Matukai upbringing, which also lent him traits of heightened awareness, quick reflexes and a high pain tolerance, Lucian's each psychical feat made him a force to be reckoned with.

Appearance-wise, he was tan with dark brown hair, which he keeps loose and long, as well as a short mustache and goatee. He was considered by many to be rather conventional attractive, and possesses gray eyes. He has a traditional Matukai face tattoo on his forehead, though it's most commonly concealed by his hair.

Lucian had an set of tattoos on his right arm which he obtained during his time as a soldier, some containing shibboleths only a fellow Ranger might understand while others plainly identified him as a soldier of the Rebel Alliance for all to see.

Lucian generally wore casual but functional clothing, having opted out of wearing the traditional Matukai robes after the dismantlement of his covert by the Empire.

## **Abilities**

### **Force Abilities**

Due to the Matukai's philosophy of focusing on the psychical body as a conduit of the Force, the majority of Lucian's Force abilities focus around psychical prowess and enhancement, though he also received some instruction in honing other Force-based skills prior to the dissolution of his group. Among his group of Matukai, Lucian was thought of as the one with the most potential among both the apprentices and adepts owing to his highly developed connection to the Force. However, he possessed a distinct weakness for telekinetic applications of the Force, owing to a lack of training in the subject during his youth as well as a generational atrophying of telekinesis in his family due to the Matukai's philosophy.

Lucian possesses multiple notable abilities, which were categorized between Novice, Intermediate, Proficient, Advanced, and Master:

**Enhance Attribute [Force Speed/Force Jump/Force Punch/Magnify Senses/Tapas/Breath Control]: Advanced**

* Due to the Matukai's focus on the Force being channeled by the psychical body, Lucian was exceedingly skilled in harnessing applications of the Force related to augmenting his psychical capabilities, capable of augmenting them instinctively without much of a drain on his Force energy reservoirs or stamina. The capabilities he was capable of augmenting were his reaction and movement speed, jump height and general agility, the strength of his blows, his psychical senses, as well as regulation of his body temperature to adjust for extreme temperatures and breathing to minimize his need for air when needed.

**Force Weapon: Advanced**

* As the Matukai traditionally imbued their wan-shens with the Force to improve their durability and effectiveness, Lucian learned how to wield the Force in such a fashion to a level where he could pour Force energy into most common objects and have the effects last for several months at a time. Weapons imbued by Lucian are capable of dealing large amounts of damage to armored opponents and parrying blows from lightsabers and vibroblades alike.

**Soft to Solid: Proficient**

* Originally a Matukai technique, Lucian was competent in hardening parts of his body to become resistant to psychical damage akin to body armor. Lucian can presently harden his body at will to protect from most melee weapons save for lightsabers and Force-imbued weapons, and lessen the damage taken from other forms of damage such as shrapnel and burns as well as low-technology projectiles - though not blaster bolts or projectiles from sophisticated slugthrowers.

**Force Body: Proficient**

* Lucian could push his body to it's absolute limits, enduring through potentially fatal trauma without going unconscious through the Force. He would still require medical attention after exerting himself.

**Force Healing [Revitalize/Detoxify Poison/Control Disease]: Intermediate**

* Lucian was capable of using the Force for the purposes of detoxifying poisons, curing himself from diseases and revitalizing himself from exhaustion. However, he was not capable of healing wounds and injuries outright, and would still depend on medical attention and equipment for such situations.

**Force Sense: Intermediate**

* Lucian was capable of sensing the presence and Force-sensitivity of others near him, and could feel a tingling in the back of his head when danger was approaching.

**Force Empathy: Intermediate**

* Lucian possessed the ability of sensing the general emotional state and intentions of others, though he could not read their thoughts.

**Force Resistance: Intermediate**

* As a Force-wielder, Lucian displays a natural resilience to Force-based attacks against the mind and body alike.

**Shatterpoint: Novice**

* A fledgling natural ability within Lucian allows him to perceive fault-lines in the Force easier than others, though he has yet to receive any training in honing his sight for them and rarely calls upon the ability.

**Force Vision: Novice**

* Another fledgling natural ability of Lucian's, he receives highly sporadic visions of the future when in the midst of meditation. But, he has yet to learn how to control the visions and doesn't consider them an asset as much as a hindrance.

### **Martial Abilities**

Lucian was a skilled practitioner of the Teräs Käsi martial art discipline, having been mentored from youth in the art and instructing his fellow Rebels in it during the Galactic Civil War. Similarly skilled with a wide range of melee weapons, including blades and staves, Lucian was the most accomplished as a warrior with his traditional wan-shen pole-arm, which he was capable of deflecting blaster bolts with via it's blade. Likewise, Lucian was an adept shot with a blaster, and had received training in both conventional and unconventional warfare as well as wilderness survival from the Alliance.

### **Other Abilities**

Lucian also speaks comprehensible Huttese and Jawa Trade Talk, and understands spoken Binary. Lucian was a mediocre pilot. Lucian also showed some skill as a farmer and guitar player, finding a great deal of joy from both of the aforementioned abilities.

## **Equipment**

### **Weapons**

Lucian was still in possession of his traditional Matukai wan-shen pole-arm, which he forged in order to become an adept of the Matukai. Collapsible and imbued with the Force, it was functional in design and constructed of a steel alloy that made it maneuverable while maintaining enough weight to strike true against an enemy. Six and a half feet in height, the collapsible nature of the wan-shen could be used to transform it in essence into a long-axe for close-quarters combat. When not extended, Lucian wore it on his back, attached to a sash.

Lucian also carried a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, depending on the situation either in a holster or concealed on his person. Otherwise standard, Lucian prefers to carry it without it's scope attachment for the sake of ergonomics.

### **Armor**

Lucian possessed a durasteel cuirass, which was lined on the inside with a light armorweave padding that aided in dissipating heat and blunt force trauma from impact and added to the cuirasses protection. The cuirass has been painted a dark gray, and displays some minor signs of wear - though it's integrity has not been compromised.

### **Ship**

Lucian piloted a lightly modified A-24P Sleuth scout vessel, which he bought used after retiring from the Alliance. It was modified with additional fuel tanks for a longer atmospheric range and two concussion missile launchers. It's copilot was the R2-series astromech droid R2-V8.
