Lucius Cypher/The Elder Fuck
True to himself, Lucius is actually a living piece of shit. Probably. In truth this isn't his original form, simply his default form.
"Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're gonna do something incredibly... Stupid."Lucius Cypher The Elder Fuck, of course only a select few know why I'm called that, and honestly it only matters to those people anyways.
What is your gender?I ID myself as a dood, but physically I'll be whatever I want.
How old are you?I wanna say I'm an ancient being from a time beyond our world. But I just don't feel like telling you.
What species are you? Please include details about said species.I'm quite simply a shapeshifter. Also technically a Planes Walker too (Mostly unrelated to Planeswalkers From MTG, but inspired by them). To elaborate: I'm capable of changing my entire body structure into that of different creatures, or more specifically, characters. While I don't get their memories, skills, or knowledges just by turning into them (Unless it's one of my own characters), I can essentially copy down every bit of their physical attributes I know about them, even be stronger if I don't care about being an accurate copy of them. I can even give myself the potential to use more fanatical aspects of their bodies, such as innate magical abilities or mutations.
I'm a Planes Walker because quite simply, I have existed in many different worlds at one point, sometimes multiple different universes at once. I call these separate universes "Roleplays" because let's face it, I'm in a world that's meta as fuck. These separate personalities in these Roleplays are my Characters, and I can often be so immersed in my character I would forget that I'm Lucius Cypher. And while only a few of those characters are even aware of my existence, because I have at one point existed as that character, I'm capable of taking on their appearance and abilities at will, even if those abilities or their very existence shouldn't work.
What abilities and powers do you have? Do you have any expertise or “special skills”? Please include them.Honestly speaking, I have many powers and skills by virtue of accessing the powers and skills of all the different characters I've played. While most are fairly mundane or low in terms of over all power in their universe (Barring an exceptional few), regardless I have a wide variety of characters to use and thus many different powers and skills I can access.
In my default form my abilities are simply Shapeshifting, Illusion magic, and the ability to consume anything without harming my body, so long as I create a mouth to eat with. I unfortunately cannot simply absorb things through my body. As for skills I would say I'm a decent fighter, but honestly I prefer not to fight. Kill, sure, but I don't get into a fight if there's a chance I can lose. I like the coward's way when my opponent is in no condition to fight so they're at my mercy (Of which they'll have none if I'm there to kill them). I'm pretty good at lurking though, so I often use this skill to spy on others. All the better to learn and copy their mannerism and knowledge.
Are you skilled in certain types of combat? What type of weapon do you typically wield?While my Characters are specialized in their own brands of fighting, in my default form I'm the sort of character who can't hit very hard, but hits very fast and in large quantities. Combined with my incredible endurance, stamina, and toughness, I fight in the long-haul. Sure I don't have many fancy One-Hit kill moves, but considering I can usually survive or avoid those move, it'll only be a matter of time before I eventually defeat my opponent. That being said I don't fight straight-up like that precisely because it'll take a long time, so I prefer getting my enemies in a position where they can't fight back for whatever reason, and then finishing them off from there. Or let other people fight for me.
As for weapons I'm fairly familiar with all but the most exotic types of weapons. That is to say, give me a sword and I can hit them with the sharp and pointy bits. Give me a gun and I can aim and shoot. Nothing fancy, but I'm not exactly taking a -4 non-proficiency penalty. More often then not though I just change my appendages into weapons like blades or clubs. I can also make guns inside my body and just shoot everything in a great quantity, since I'm not very good at shooting guns. After all if I shoot 10000 bullets, one of them has got to hit, right?
What equipment do you typically carry into battle? Or feel comfortable carrying into battle?Despite my amorphous form I do actually carry things into battle (Typically inside my body thanks to my amorphous form). Things like bombs or gadgets, or generally anything that's too complicated for me to just shape change into. If possible I do try to grab armor, preferably full suits. This can be anything from a Knight's Plate Mail or entire Mechas, so really it depends on what's available. But given that my actual strength is meh unless I use a Character, I try to limit how much things I actually do "Carry".
My characters would have things more specific for them, of course.
Are you affiliated with any other organization? If so, please say who and your rank.I'm an Old Fuck, with the self-given title of "The Elder Fuck" even though I'm neither one of the oldest Old Fuck or related to any eldritch abominations beyond emulating their style.
Where in Guild City are you from?I live in Casual. I stop by Free every so often if I'm looking for a cheap place to stay, but I never stick around for long. A month at most. I almost never visit Advance unless I'm seeing a friend.
What has your life been like so far?I've been a here for a while. So long in fact, I was there when Guildfall happened. I was only around for roughly a year when it happened, but I've staked my claim here. During the Mass Exodus I've sought refuge in places like the People's republic of Creative Freedom or Iwaku Nation. Fortunately after the Guild's resurrection I was able to come back and reconnect with old friends and even met new ones.
As for my personally, well let's just say that once I used to actually be human. But then I discovered other worlds out there. Worlds that were fantasy, or Sci-Fi, or simply another life I could live. I've... Forgotten who I really was, and become a creature that becomes others, without really a true sense of self. I'm okay with this. I have plenty of characters who are "Me". And through them I gain strength, confidence, and more importantly friends.
Would you like to include any additional information that we may have missed?Don't particularly care much for the bots infecting Guild City. I
do feel that the Bot Busters are a bit much, but so long as they don't pester me about their cause I have no reason to oppose them, and given the chance I wouldn't mind slaying a few bots myself. But mostly? I'm just here to fuck around.
I'm also a thief, so don't be surprised if I steal your shit, which could be anything from your possessions to your concepts to even your picture (I.e. your IC Avatar). While I certainly won't call it my own, I also don't intend to give it back.
Lastly, while I don't really fancy myself the leading type, I do seek opportunities to obtain the status of "GM", or alternatively "Co-GM". For a GM controls the world, for good or ill, subtly or dramatically. Though even if I don't officially have the title I often butt into situations and disputes enough that I will be a GM regardless of who's name gets the fancy colored tags near the title.
