#LucienLore, #MorpheusLore: Lucien's Ancient incarnation was Morpheus. He was a member of the Somnia, the Roman counterparts to the Greek daemons of dreams, the Oneroi.
To be perfectly fair, the Oneroi weren't given names like the Somnia were. Morpheus, Phantasos, & Ikelos/Phobetor were all dubbed-
#LucienLore: Though the two have become a devoted couple, Lucien refrains from using Erenville's native name. Erenville specifically said that he couldn't. That's a degree of cultural trust Lucien knows he hasn't quite earned yet.
He may, eventually, but their relationship is still rather recent.-
#LucienLore: Considering Lucien's sleep magic & Mr. D's theme around dreams, I'd say an achamoth soul.
Wamoura produce scales of varying status effects based on subspecies, notably soporific & paralyzing for this one. Something looked upon less fondly than butterflies, but still quite dazzling.-
#LucienLore (Meta): Lucien & Vrtra.
One's a dragon-blooded son of a heretic who helped put an end to the Dragonsong War, & the other's the youngest of the First Brood & the gentle-hearted satrap of Radz-at-Han.
They both have themes around strong familial ties & breaking cycles of violence, being-
Overlapping a little into #LucienLore, I designed him from the start as an Elezen before I made him as a proper alt. He probably also would've fit as a male Viera, but Lucien specifically as a Drow-looking Duskwight is based on how I imagined his proto-OC self, Lucius, if he fit in a DnD universe.
#LucienLore, #CarhysaLore: Rhysa's sitting in #6. She got close to Yaana & Neyuni, sorta stepping up into a sororal role for them while Eutrope was MiA.
Lucien would probably have a good time in #3. Creative burnout aside, chatting with Eheeya & Sugar would make for an entertaining few hours.-
#LucienLore: Joke's on you! Lucien's name is already modern!
It's the French version of, "Lucianus," derived from the Roman, "Lucius," meaning, "light."
Ironic, considering his ties to Darkness. But that's because the OC of mine he's based on was named Lucius. I chose to call him Lucius as a red-
#IliiLore, #LucienLore, #AltanLore, #FawnLore (Meta): It's more of a universal plothole for my main Echo bearers, sans Fawn, considering she's at least a century older than the rest of them & thus would be separate from the timeline snag.
The others awoke their Echoes in early childhood, rather-
#LucienLore: My poor dear sweet Lucien is my only alt.
While I had his character data as an OC already, & his lore is in his own tag above, I made him into a proper alt some time ago in order to re-do MSQ before DT.
But I kept getting distracted & he's still in HW. Just about to meet the Nonmind.
#LucienLore, #CarhysaLore: Considering the more...fancy vibes the two poured into their personae, Lucien & Carhysa wouldn't really think it suits Mr. D or Santa Cisne well.
It's a good song, most definitely! But even to their personalities behind the masks, it unfortunately clashes too much.-
#LucienLore: Lucien's death is a lot gentler. After a life of hardship & struggle, maybe even returning to the field for a bit before a proper retirement from adventuring, he'll live to a ripe old age.
Surrounded by his loved ones, even if more bitter than sweet on account of the supernatural-
#CarhysaLore, #LucienLore: Ice-skating is a hobby both of them adore whenever winter creeps its way into the Black Shroud. An old tradition that brought them together as kids when they first began to reconcile as adopted siblings.
Carhysa, especially, is quite good at it & found a bit of overlap-
#LucienLore: "That Time I Got Possessed by my Childhood Bogeyman."
#LucienLore, #CarhysaLore: As the Upstanding Upstarts, Lucien & Carhysa formed a tag team of a Heel & Face pair.
Once upon a time, the balance between Good & Evil were upset. And so shattered the Moon into two equal, opposing halves.
Santa Cisne, the Moon's reflected Light, & Mr. D, the New Moon.-
#LucienLore: I have 3 different songs in mind depending on what tier Lucien's homme fatale Heel persona, Mr. D, would be a part of.
Light-Heavyweight Tier: Dream-Eating Monochrome Baku (Nem) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHjI...
An ominously playful ditty about a magical creature who makes promises to-
#LucienLore: Probably establishing that his childhood bogeyman & secret 13th Reflection was, in fact, real the entire time. And making him partly Rejoin with Lucien during the climax of Dun Scaith.
Diabolos has been a thorn in Lucien's side for as long as he can remember, haunting him through-
Too lazy to redo this whole mess, but I still misspelt the tag like a sleep-deprived dunce.
#LucienLore
#LucienLore: It was pretty simple to retcon the entire DNC questline for him.
Instead of learning under Nashmeira alongside Ranaa, Lucien had already been zapped to the First at the time. He learned under Lyna after reaching something of an epiphany regarding what he was lacking in his combat-
#LucienLore: Lucien's type has always been the knight in shining armour, that classic bastion of honor, bravery, & kindness. (If there were better gifs of Wyll Ravengard, he would be Lu's perfect man XD)
Needless to say, Erenville may not be a knight, but he IS the kind of man he needs right now.
#LucienLore: TFW your 13th Reflection has been your personal childhood bogeyman, only to prove himself to be both REAL & an actual threat several years later.
Not helped by the fact that Dun Scaith resulted in a critically injured Diabolos partially Rejoining with Lucien, while the majority of his-
#LucienLore: On the inverse, Lucien is UNFAIRLY pretty.
He really doesn't try that hard, that's just how he is! He's also a very gentle soul that's easy to connect to, deeply empathetic while also somewhat mysterious, which also adds to his charm.
Unfortunately, even though he's a gay man, Lucien-
#LucienLore: #4 is the closest by far! But even that's twinged with some tragedy.
Dealing with Gridanian bigotry as a Duskwight in the Black Shroud, his adopted Moon Keeper sister at first having been a half-feral bully to him before she began healing, & not knowing the fate of his missing father.-
#LucienLore: Erenville, a young, intrepid monster researcher set to document every hidden corner of the magical world. Be they Spoken or beast, nothing is beyond his keen gaze & sharp wits.
Lucien, an old soul of a forgotten age. Trapped in a cold stone coffin & fitful dreams, the dour but gentle-
#LucienLore: More than simply a dear friend & close confidante in his darkest hour, Ser Haurchefant was the world to Lucien.
The first man who ever showed interest in him, even if his attention at first was a little overwhelming. Though very kind & excitable, he initially was under the impression-
#LucienLore: Lucien miraculously never got the chance to learn from Nashmeira, having been isekai'd to the First alongside Alphinaud.
After getting his bearings in the Crystarium & meeting the Exarch, he took interest in Lyna's combat skills. Something about her dynamic movements & skills with her-
#LucienLore: Though he's eagerly studied & absorbed quite a number of dances, as is his wont as a staunch DNC, his preferred style are swing dances like the Lindy Hop.
Unfortunately, Lucien's not that good at finding partners who can keep up with his fancy feet. He's too fast.
#LucienLore: Lucien ended up summoned to the First alongside Alphinaud, having joined him to assist with the Doman hostage crisis.
Wasn't fun for Iliira when his overprotective sister nearly throttled her in an apoplectic panic over his sudden coma.
Unfortunately, Lucien ended up blown a bit-
#IliiLore, #LucienLore, #CarhysaLore: Fun (or perhaps not so fun) fact about each rule #63 swap.
-Poor Iliira would go through MASSIVE gender dysphoria.
-I had to swap hairs for Lucien since I bought a masc-exc. hair m0d, oops.
-63!Carhysa takes a lot after her 1/2 Moon Keeper 1/2 Xbr'aal father.
-the likes of Krile or Snoegeim have. And because of how much of the Crystal Exarch's wisdom he carries (should she be calling him sir now???)
#LucienLore: On account that they're amicable exes, Lucien absolutely drops the G. They're still very sweet with each other with no animosity.
