Name: The Tyrant Prince, Lucius Serpentson
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Wizard
Appearance: The Tyrant Prince, Lucius Serpentson, does not have a reputation as a man to be feared. This is because he is nowhere near as intimidating as his father. Where his father is a towering seven-foot-tall battlemage clad in black iron, he is a scrawny three-foot-tall boy in dark purple wizard robes who fell over the first time he was fitted for a breastplate. Where his father is a mountain of muscle and mystic might, Lucius is constantly clutching at his wizard's staff, which he still needs to cast spells. Generally, Lucius takes after his mother- bright blue eyes and pale skin, small ears, and black hair. He carries himself with the air of royalty, using his staff as a walking stick. His dark red cape is embroidered with a dark blue snake, a symbol of nobility in the empire.

Personality: Lucius is... well, he's a child, easily excitable and prone to rapid changes in mood. However, he's also the heir to a small empire, and has been raised to know the proper etiquette for almost any situation, political or otherwise. He is patient, preferring to deliberate over his actions rather than rush in, and has an extensive knowledge of all things arcane.

Brief Backstory: The son of the Tyrant King Faustus, Lucius is studying the magical arts for the day when he succeeds his father as Tyrant King of Gor, a dark, forested land to the southeast of Velt. Known for the terrifying Tyrant King who rules it, they are constantly skirmishing at the borders. Imagery of giant serpents covers most of the architecture, as they are a symbol of patience and might to the citizenry. Covered in foul beasts and magical plants, it would seem this land reflects the heart of its ruler.

Well, it would SEEM so. His booming voice, dark spiked armor, and glowing red eyes are often off-putting to strangers, but Tyrant King Faustus is beloved by his people. Visitors from Dwarf, Elf, and even Nem lands admire his level hand and patience. He dotes on his son and wife, though he IS still the Tyrant King- he will give no quarter to those who threaten the lives of his people, and deals with traitors harshly. He is the subject of both fear and respect among the rulers of the world, though most citizens only know to fear his armies. The dark armor (from the forging process), the armor spikes (in order to not get swallowed whole by giant animals), and glowing red eyes (a side effect of the standard-issue night vision potion) are frightening after all.

Lucius, on the other hand, is the Tyrant Prince, firstborn son of the Tyrant King and his wife, a carpenter's daughter named Anna. He's grown up in the fortress-city at the heart of Gor, very seldom getting out in the sunlight as he studies magic with his grandfather and plays in the castle garden with his mother and father most of the time. His father dotes on him endlessly, showering him with affection. However, he feels that life in the fortress... just isn't that good for a burgeoning wizard to practice in. At his age, his great-great-great-great grandfather Mephistopheles the Great Serpent was conquering surrounding villages in order to unite the forest lands. He has left the citadel in search of an adventure that will allow him to grow as a wizard and as an heir to the throne.

Equipment: 
Wizard's staff made of charred wood and topped with a preserved snake's head. It's a symbol of authority in his homeland.
A cloak made from hellfire cotton, sewn by his mother.
An alchemist's kit for brewing potions, and a number of strange-looking plants and foul-smelling extracts.

Abilities:
Though he is young, Lucius is quite skilled at alchemy and offensive magic, though less so with summoning and support spells. Due to his inexperience with combat, however, he must use a focus to cast- specifically, his wooden staff, though any such implement will work.
