Noble Arm Abilities:
Fury of the Sun: Rex Lucis spins in front of Samuel, increasing in speed rapidly as the older man grimaces from the effort. Light begins to shine from the weapon, increasing in amount quickly as it becomes blinding. At this point, Victor lets out a satisfied grunt and a beam of light as tall and wide as a semi truck bursts forth from the spinning weapon. Sweat beads down his forehead as he keeps the beam going at his old age, the attack burning, melting, and evaporating almost everything it touches.
Angel Rays: Like light that shines through a dark cloud, dozens of bolts of pure sunlight the size of a baseball bat burst forth towards Victor's foes as he raises Rex Lucis above his head and points with it. Dozens more come forth after the originals strike their targets down, leaving scorched and charred bodies behind. Like his other abilities, Angel Rays does best against non metal and stone objects, repeated strikes against most metals like steel will see the metal and stone sundered. Naked flesh, clothing, and anything living cannot be expected to put up ant resistance when struck.
Echos of Lucis: Victor takes Rex Lucis in both hands and light envelopes the blade, elongating it to double its size. Solid flesh is immediately cauterized, metals give some resistance but all give way with enough effort, leaving a melted line through whatever was cut.
Superhuman Strength and Durability: Light floods through his whole body, enhancing his strength and toughening his flesh and bones.
Shield of Light: Light erupts into being, seeming to emanate directly from Rexs body. While this ability is being used, Rex is impervious to almost all attacks (Though the most powerful of attacks can break through) and cannot use any other ability,
Lightspeed: Like the light he wields, Rex can be fast. Perhaps not as fast as light itself, Rex mind works at near triple that of a normal person when he uses this ability, all so he can properly utilize the speed of his ability. Like Shield of Light, Lightspeed cannot be used with any other ability, instead having to return to normal speeds of movement and thought to attack.
Bright Embrace (Passive): While Rex Lucis is visible, a constant light emanates from the spear. All those that the light touches and are friendly to the wielder of Rex Lucis find their morale boosted. They can’t help but look on the bright side of things, why would they do otherwise when Rex has come to their aid after all.
Guiding Light: A beam of gentle light erupts from the end of Rex Lucis and towards the targets of its wielder. Instead of hurting them in any way however, instead those it touches now see the world as if it was daytime as long as Rex Lucis is active. This ability is of course only useful during the night time however and those who have the ability granted to them have their eyes encased in light as if they were glowing.
Everything the Light Touches (passive): Rex is King of the Light, master of Rex Lucis and so everything the light touches, he knows of. While light from the sun, even that reflected off the moon, is touching a person who means to do harm in some fashion to the wielder of Rex Lucis, the wielder is aware and can sense them. Through years of testing the ability, Rex knows that the effective distance of this sense is about a 500 mile radius. This ability also has a secondary part to it. As light is made to drive out shadow, so was Rex Lucis. The darker a person's soul, the heavier their burdens, the more the light seeks them out, and the more Rex Lucis wishes to drive away that shadow that darkens them. The more a person has killed, the more they want to kill, the greater their hatred towards Rex Lucis, the more Rex Lucis wants to destroy that foe. On the other hand, the more guilt one feels at doing evil, at killing a person, harming another, or even losing one’s innocence, the more a person succumbs to that shadow within them, the greater help Rex Lucis can do. All of Rex Lucis abilities are increased when directed at these beings.

Bio: Victor was the first and remains the only member of his family to manifest a Noble Arm. When Victor manifested at the age of ten, the Korean war had just ended and the Vietnam war was beginning to take hold of the American public's attention. Victor was kept a secret from the American people, taken away from his family and made into a living weapon to win American conflicts.
It wasn’t until near the end of the Vietnam war that the public became aware of Victor, now codenamed as “Rex” by the military. This 17 year old weapon of mass destruction had burned much of Vietnam in strikes against communism, but with the war ending and with public support against the war, he was seen as a monster.
“The War Criminal Kid” is what he was called when American forces returned home. If the troops were treated like criminals, he was ten times worse. No one seemed to care that this was not his choice, that he had a choice at all.
Things got better for him over the years however as he used his powers more openly. He becomes one of America's ultimate weapons, if not its ultimate weapons. By 2000, with the millenia turning, the mere mention of his name by American diplomats brought a chill to the enemies of the USA. It was at the same time however, that he announced his retirement from the military. The cold war was over, he was not needed.
So Rex retired to a small house in Southern Georgia where he could live with his widowed sister, her children, and his dogs. Finally at peace, for now.
*Current Goal: See the Chinese thrown back, keep the younger members alive and try to shield them from the depravities of war.
Military or Civilian Rank: Retired Colonel
