Appearance

Lucius is a fair-skinned male elf with long, blonde hair. He has heterochromia of the eyes. Being an arcane chromat sorcerer, this allows him to draw the power of magic from his surroundings based on its colour. It is also a reason why his outfit has a range of vibrant colours, especially useful during nighttime or low-light setting where colours are generally muted. While in Gusthaven, his hair is cut and dyed brown by Nanny Norphea to conceal his identity.

Personality

Lucius is a selfless but naive person. As he was raised in a strict household, he wants to break away from the rigidity of his life and meet new people. Due to his upbringing, he developed unintended prejudice and stereotypes, and lacks knowledge of many common things such as where leather and milk comes from. He also loves fashion and puts a lot of work into his appearance. Despite his noble birth, Lucius is not arrogant and does not act as if nobility makes him better than others. He is genuinely kind to people and often offers to pay for things. During the campaign, Lucius began to mature as a person, becoming more confident and showing some talent for leadership. He even takes on the role of captain of the Stormchaser. His naivety is somewhat replaced with a more pessimistic attitude as he travels the world and suffers hardships.

History

Lucius was born and raised in a strict, noble elven household in the Sky City of Gusthaven. His family are wealthy because they produced a key component for generations which is vital for mining aetherium. a valuable resource that is well sought after for practically every use. Lucius was not heavily involved in the family business, preferring to do things like Sky jousting and painting.

Lucius has a twin sister, Edea, that he doesn't get along with. It is also implied that his father, Virion, was overly critical towards him which, combined with the fact he was bullied by other elves, had an impact on his view towards himself. He was often looked after by his nanny, Norphea.

Relationships

Nova

Lucius developed a friendship with Nova early on, as a fellow educated spellcaster who was also out of her element in the wilderness. When Lucius became attuned with the mentally unstable sentient bow NightFrost, he confided in Nova his fears of being corrupted by it. Nova responded by reassuring him and telling he was "fundamentally a good person." As they travel, Lucius takes on somewhat of a role of a proud, protective older brother of Nova. He, along with Qill, make an effort to be there for her, comfort her, and protect her throughout their adventures. He's the most supportive of her immediately after discovering the ILS she carried, and her conversations with Calus.

Qillek

In the beginning, despite Lucius having respect for Qill, he cwould sometimes be naively insensitive towards him, such as calling him "Birdy" instead of his name or bringing up awkward subjects like his missing wing. Qill takes these in stride and sometimes teases Lucius by telling him bogus facts about the world.

Lucius later displayed a deeper caring for Qill, rushing to his side when the latter nearly drowned and resuscitating him. When Qill was later slain by an undead being, Lucius in a cold rage used his dichromancy to draw color from Qill's cloak, formed it into a feather and hurled it into the creature's face, killing it instantly. He later cradled Qill's body, sobbing and refused to leave his side.

Prominent Spells

As a sorcerer Lucius has the ability to change one of his spells every time he levels up in the sorcerer class, this doesn't apply to his cantrips, the following is a list of some of his more prominant spells and all of his cantrip choices;

(In addition, if any of these spells are replaced, they will be crossed out and what they were replaced with will be stated next to them, they may also be placed in a seperate section)

Cantrips; 

Acid Splash (A bonus cantrip obtained from his sorcerer subclass), Blade ward, Dancing lights, Firebolt, Frostbite, Infestation (Gained from his high elf subrace, this spell uses his intelligence modifier for its DC rather than his normal charisma modifier for his sorcerer spells), Lightning Lure, Mending

1st Level;

Armour of Agathys (Normally a pure warlock spell, Lucius obtained this from his sorcerer subclass), Absorb Elements, Chromatic Orb

2nd Level;

Melf's Acid Arrow, Snilloc's snowball swarm

Hypnotic Pattern, Lucius' Lucious light (Reskin of hunger of hadar, this spell also hits both of lucius' dichromancy damage types)

Elemental Bane, Vitrolic sphere

6th Level;

Wall of Ice

Dichromancy

As an Arcane Chromat, when Lucius casts a non-cantrip spell that deals acid or ice damage (including spells like Armour of Agathys), it triggers an additional attack with that element. One of Lucius's heterochromic eyes will flash (the left orange one for acid, the right blue one for ice) followed by a streak of coloured energy that splits off from his spell towards a target of his choice within 60 feet. It deals damage equal to the level of the spell + his charisma modifier.

Psychometry

While not fully explained or explored, Lucius appears to have some limited ability to read memories or images by touching specific magical artifacts. How he has this ability and what objects in works on is still unknown (The echoes of guardians being a known trigger for this ability, however), though it is suggested that it comes from having an innate connection to magic as a sorcerer.

Elemental Adept (Acid & Cold)

Trott took the feat Elemental Adept and chose acid and cold(In a separate feat) for Lucius instead of an Ability Score Improvement. This means that Lucius' spells ignore resistance to acid and cold damage and when he rolls acid or cold damage for a spell he can treat any one rolled as a two instead.

Chromatic Control

As an Arcane Chromat, when a creature that Lucius can see casts a spell (Including himself) that deals damage that is on the Dichromancy table (Meaning Fire, Acid, Cold, Lightning, Poison, Thunder, Force Radiant or Necrotic damage). He can use his reaction to spend 3 sorcery points to change the damage type to one of your Dichromancy results.
