Description:
History
History:
He moved to fight external wars for the survival of the denizens of Rome as a soldier. He ventured throughout the empire, learning other cultures. He would settle for a while, watch his friends die, and then move on. He never really was the guy who stood out in a crowd though, he stayed back in the limelight too.
Eventually, Europe interacted with the Orient and he ventured there. He discovered a love for their traditions and styling. He fought in many wars there as well for 'the people' and not the powers that wanted to control them. He wandered his way across the globe for the rest of the 'Dark Ages' in Europe. He eventually headed back when the Black Death reared it's ugly head. He learned about medicine so he could help.
He fought the church when it overstepped it's authority (though he let them do a lot of things to as well , as the people were quite religious at the time and felt their collective weight). Technology developed and so did his knowledge of it, he became fascinated, he ended up in Italy, drawn to the ideas of that place. He became a decent inventor in his own right (before copyrights he probably was ripping off a few dozen craftsman. Lawyers don't hurt me).
He lived the life that people dreamed of even though he was never quite wealthy, he found ways to survive as an artist or as a fortune teller, or even a lawyer. The birth of the reformation shot even more life into him, Europe was on the birth pains of finally shedding a lot of chains they had forged. Democracy was beginning to flourish in some sense.
The discovery of America brought dreams to the people of Europe and his next stop in his journey. This is a place where the real internal conflict in him took place.
The native people of the land began to suffer under the weight of the Europeans. He was stuck between two worlds acting against either was damaging part of him. For this moment, he decided to find a place to be alone. He became an explorer, staying away from any large group of people. He kept moving on until European spread across the Americas brought his attention.
The senses of the native population was beyond powerful, he had to fight. He fought the Europeans, being a European as well, he had to temper his fight. He supported the native population as well as he could. Even being hung for it. He was with the underdog even in the Mexican conflict with the United States. The Civil War was a simple decision in retrospect, the vast sums of slaves that would taste freedom overwhelmed anything that the North dwelt on in their hearts.
He fought World War I and World War II, he might have even appealed to have the United States join the war his words used by others. After these wars, he sought peacefulness after all that darkness. The heroes appearance during these wars brighten his heart along with others.
He settled back in America. He watched the heroes rise, he helped them, he hoped for them, like the others. He was nervous sometimes if they would turn against the common-folk with their self-righteous but they didn't. He never was a major hero, more like a ghost, or an angel, that would show up when people needed him. He helped rebuild neighborhoods as that contractor who was always the lowest bidder, or as that guy on the street corner who influenced people in choosing the right choice. He nudged humanity in ways he felt they could take at the time. Now, as the heroes and villains have escalated their conflict, he has decided to take a bit more of an active role defending the weak and powerless against all powered and unpowered.
Personality
Personality:
Abilities
Communal Sense:
All of Lucius's 'powers' are based on this simple premise, Lucius is a very powerful Psionic absorber. He absorbs the leftover telepathic static that escapes the human/metahuman body. His range has increased over the ages and currently his range of absorption is equivalent to a large city (in the case of New York City, perhaps about half of the total city).
Note: He may be able to feel the perceptions of a neighborhood on a topic but he can't glean particular knowledge of individuals. Consider it a bit like whispers in the streets such as streetwise. This 'gleaming' however can be less specific over a larger area and provide him with an 'instant' polling of how the community can be helped or a general 'feeling' of the community. This allows him to sense a call for help from someone, sense a crime wave in progress, or perhaps even who people will vote for, etc.
In channeling this ability his own abilities to block this has suffered (see Weakness: Part of the Collective). He can only separate himself from this communal mind with concentration.
This ability shapes his entire life, he feels that he is the embodiment of the common man, and as society has changed, so has his thoughts on what he needs to do at that moment. He has developed a way for him to message people within the community, sending out warnings and messages as people needed. This ability is nothing more then perhaps a cellphone call, it can't be used offensively and a slight willful not wanting to hear it will block the communication.
Endurance:
Letting the Flows of the City into his body, he can avoid needing rest, sleep, or need to eat. He can maintain this for a long period of time, however for every day he shrugs off these normally mortal limitations he will go into an almost comatose like state for a day at a later time. The longest he did this was during a particular time during World War 2. He played guardian angel to a group of soldier in the middle of a bombardment during for three days straight. He then spent the next three days caring for wounded at the nearby medic center. He then spent the following 6 days in a ditch seemly nearly dead.
Enhanced Physique:
Dexterity, Toughness, Strength, Speed are all enhanced to just beyond peak human all due to his continuous exposure to Psionic energy from people and from the fact he can now reach a city wide expanse of reserves, he bring this energy to bare to enhance his physique. This generally is not a pleasant feeling on his part. For comparison purposes, he would be able to rank in all Olympic events if he did indeed enter into them.
Healing:
He can still be 'killed' per se but with a few hours, he'll be back. From what he's seen within his centuries of existence, he's experienced every form of injury and death and managed to escape without any permanent injury, he has managed to avoid decapitation as he doesn't really want to know if THAT can regenerate. He imagines if people kept injuring him, he wouldn't be able to become conscient. In combat, he's limited in his healing, generally his wounds will stop bleeding but will need to heal when he's out of combat. If put into perspective, he'd heal wound in a day that a normal person would heal in a week.
Read the Flows:
There is always a psionic echo or imprint of things that occur in an area ('Generally an area is best described as a block'). He can get shadows and vague echoes of what happened within the last 24 hours or so. For a particular object, he can sense the last few thoughts that a person thought when handling the said object.
Telemartial Combat:
Shutting the Voices out, he can focus on a single mind or perhaps multiple minds (at a slight difficulty) and be able to read their immediate thoughts real-time. He's able therefore to use this to literally block a strike as it is delivered without actually 'seeing' the blow with his own eyes. He can also read bystander's frontal lobes and allow him alternative angles on combat. This buffers his already centuries honed mastered of weapons but allows him to stage impressive shows of his abilities. Obviously, mental shields block this ability, he's never honestly 'fought' shields so even a minor one would not allow him access. He would need to use his eyes in cases where he is faced with non-sentient opponents, or he's trying to move in darkness without another mind to allow him to see. There is some situations where he might not be able to make good use of this ability in such cases.
Unaging:
Skills
Combat Mastery:
Over a millennia of warfare has honed Lucius into a truly terrifying opponent, his travels have taken him to many corners of the globe giving him a broad familiarity with weapons and fighting styles from around the world, which he brings together in a fighting style all his own. He is able to take on truly skilled opponents hand in hand to hand or melee combat one on one or fight groups of lesser opponents with equal utility.
Jack of All Trades:
During the millennia of his existence he's gained knowledge in most trades that human kind have developed and know them well enough to teacher most of them to others. He's one of the teachers in his job retraining programs for his charity.
Social Management:
Resources
Combat Tools:
He carries two short swords on his person which have had their blades remade as metallurgical advances have occurred. His resources have been always limited but he has 'ways' of finding materials to improve them with. He also has a set of armor, fashioned like a 'techno' ninja of sorts, it has no visible eyes, ears, or mouth. It has built-in filtration and has a mesh armor that will stop most small firearms and knives, it also has built-in grappler and glass cutting instruments.
New Hope Charity:
Weaknesses
Mental Trauma:
Lucius has lived nearly two millenia, he's seen stuff and sometimes with the right trigger, he'll remember those past experiences at the wrong time. This goes hand and hand with his inability of sitting by and letting innocents suffer. So, not only do situations cause him to lose focus on the job at hand, he may just switch what he is doing entirely in order to help or stop someone whose suffering.
Pain Feedback:
Every slice he does to his opponent, he feel a slight echo of this pain, every loss they suffer, he will feel it as well. In some sense, only if he's decided it's worth the pain on himself will he steel himself for the feedback. This also generally has his decisions to commit lethal attacks as being instantly deadly, to make the pain less for himself as well.
The Collective:
As much as he'd like to say his thoughts are all his, they are not. His thoughts on stuff have changed over time as he is the embodiment of the 'zeitgeist' at the moment in time and area. He is unable to sometimes individually act against the collective morals of a society that is around.. however if that society is dark and twisted, he might find his morals to be a bit more looser. He is the ultimate 'grey' individual, not really a hero and not really a villain.
