Possessions

Lucan has a number of Items that he brought with Him from the ashes of his Family's estate.

Bardiche Pole Axe
A Pole Axe that while Traditionally used on Foot Lucan has adopted it for both Combat on Foot and horseback.

Amulet of the Black Lance
A Amulet passed down through generations of the Black Lance family. It gives the wearer immunity to all manner of poisons. How Boscone Black Lancer came to own the bloody thing is anyone's guess.

Saber
A Standard Saber Lucan uses as a side arm.

Plate Amour

Of course more Items will be added in the future but for now this is all Lucan has except for couple Bishani coins.

Poison Immunity
Due to his families amulet Lucan is immune to all Manner of Poisons. Lucan hates magic but justifies his use of the Amulet much like a Dwarf does with his Enchanted weapon. Saying that it is really a blessing from the gods.

Weaknesses and Flaws

Racism
Lucan is Racist against anything Non Human... blaming them for all the Worlds problems including his own families destruction. The only Exception to this are the Dwarves who Lucan has learned to Respect. Due to their shared hatred of magic and because many served as guards for the Black Lance estate.

Hatred of Magic
Lucan alongside Non Humans see 's Magic as the Source if all the worlds Problems and as a abomination. To that end he refuses the aid of magic healers and anyone he sees using magic whatever the purpose will be met with hostility from lucan.

One Eye
During Voids attack on his families Estate Lucans eye was slashed leaving a large bleeding wound and Lucan no longer being able to see with both eyes.

Alcoholic
Ever since his Estates destruction Lucan has turned to the bottle to relieve some of his pain. You will see him in the Tavern quite often.

Encumbrance
Due to his Heavy Amour Lucan is rather slow when not on a horse. This could come in the favor of Lucans enemies.

History
Lucan was born into a powerful and wealthy family who lived westwards from Marn in a large Estate with around fifty Guards of both Dwarf and Human origins with many more servents. The family was the House of the Black Lance a Noble family renowned for their prowess in battle and for surviving in such a dangerous area for so long.

Lucan was born a only Child to Montfort and Mirta Black Lance who trained him from age Ten in combat, riding, and literacy and later on was trained in things like economics and how to behave in court.

Lucan grew up hearing stories of Boscone Black Lancer a noble hero who with his Band of Hero's and Lance defeated a Army of demons occupied in the castle that the Black Lance family currently calls home. Using two gifts from the Gods in the process a Lance Dark as Night that can Pierce through the toughest of magical materials for which the family gains it's name. And a holy pendant that makes the user immune to all manner of poisons.

After the demons where wiped out Boscone sealed his lance inside the castle through unknown means. With the Seal only being able to be broken with his amulet soaked in the blood of Boscone our one of his descendents. He then began building walls and rebuilt the castle for his descendents to live in for the next millennia.

Lucan loved these stories and had always wanted to fall into Boscone's footsteps. Lucan had also heard many horrific stories involving magic and non Humans such as the Changers War, Orcs Raping Villagers, Magic used for Torture, ect which attributed to his racism and hatred of magic later on.

By the time Lucan had reached the age of twenty two a powerful warlock grew in power who many beleived was a vampire. He had raised a massive army of Demons, Orcs, and Trolls, and was conquering everything around the estate.

The guard went into to full alert and soon enough this warlock who many called "Void the Destroyer" had attacked the estate. While the guardsmen where skilled they where completely overrun by Voids forces.

Montfort and Mirta joined the defense in the courtyard. Right before they left they told Lucan to take their fastest steed and family amulet and travel to the city of Marn, raise a band of warriors, and reclaim his families honor and the legendary Black lance.

Lucan couldn't believe a world they where saying. He begged them to come with him. But they refused saying that their Place was in the courtyard fighting with the remainder of their Men and Woman.

Reluctantly Lucan ran to the stables with tears in eyes and vengance burning in his heart. As he ran he saw his family and the last of the guards completely overrun from a swarm of Orcs and demons.

When he reached the stables he found two Orcs guarding the horses. In a fit of Rage Lucan charged them slashing through one of them across the Neck cleaning its head clean off. The other Orc rushed Lucan and slashed its Sword right across Lucan's eye. Lucan then quickly cleaved through the Orc's mid section and then finished it with a slash across the head.

Lucan then riped a piece of decorative fabric from one of the horses and made into a makeshift bandage for his eye. He then proceeded to mount the Horse and set off for Marn just narrowly escaping certain death.

After a couple days Lucan ran out of supplies and his horse died of malnutrition. After two more days of non stop walking Lucan finally reached the gates of Marn exhausted and starving. His Armour gleaming from the light of the setting sun...

Welcome, Lucan, and thank you for the character application.

It's great to see people who are eager to get into RP. Unfortunately, I don't think Thar Shaddin is the kind of RP you're looking for. I'd like to recommend another site, Unicorn Visions. Ignore the name, it's a great site, we recommend it a lot, and they allow a lot more creative freedom and variety than we do.

If you have any questions, or if you're still interested in trying to get this application approved (though I don't recommend it), let me know. You can contact me (or another mod) by posting here, sending a PM, or finding us in chat.
