[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930]APPEARANCE | Standing at a height of six feet exactly, Lukas’ slender form under clothes is anything far from intimidating. However beneath the royal robes and attire, lies an athletic and firm body. Not bursting with bulging mass, his toned body fails to reveal any untrained fat or imperfection, and carefully hides a warrior’s physique that hides deceptive strength and agility. Not one to display his body openly, this king often wears a variety of layers that usually consist of long winter-styled clothing, coats and robes that completely hide his body, and is quite fond of scarves and other adornments to wrap around his neck. Dark colours seem to be prevalent in his wardrobe, with various blacks, purples, greys and silvers being his predominant colours of choice with most of the clothing he wears, much to the irritation of his beautiful wife who would rather he try to look less intimidating and more like a respected king. Though depending on the event or situation, he can quickly adapt into a more formal and more kingly attire should he be required, allowing his queen those rare occasions to dictated his appearance with soft silks and delicate materials of all kinds of rarity and intricate designs.
The most notable and outstanding aspect of Lukas has to be his face. Despite being in his mid-forties he possesses the deceptively youthful appearance of a somebody in their mid-twenties. The result of his research, his apparent lack of age is a great source of pride for him and mystery to the rest of the kingdom. Possessing a somewhat slender, angular face that seems like it could've been chiseled from porcelain, it contrasts greatly with his long, flowing stream of obsidian hair, which is tied neatly into a pony tail with a few bangs framing his face to match his equally black eyes. When he activates Ignitionem’s full power, his eyes can be seen to illuminate a soft blue that provides a stark contrast to his pale face and seems to sharpen his features slightly. Able to be considered handsome, even a bit feminine by some, his passive expression and sharp, cold eyes (coupled with his reputation), quickly turn others away from him.
His royal mark is located on his left side, sprawled from his lower back across his ribs to his chest, over his heart and shoulder. It strongly resembles a large wing, though which kind can be left to interpretation as it seems like angel’s wing sometimes or that of a dragon’s at other times.
PERSONALITY | Bearing the highest title in the land as king, Lukas stands atop the world with power and authority, a position he makes obviously known on a regular basis with his unmistakable pride and confidence. Not shy to throw his royal lineage and authority around, it is quite easy to say that he overflows with arrogance and a sense of superiority. While he does look down on those ‘lesser’ individuals and commoners, it is not entirely because of his royalty (and because he’s a snob) but because he truly believes in his own power and determination that allowed him to achieve his current position and maintain it. However, it is because of his pride and self-confidence that causes him to be harsh on himself, making him a bit of a perfectionist in everything he does, not being satisfied until whatever he strives for is simply the best and that everybody knows it.
Unfortunately for others, Lukas places the same difficult standards he places on himself onto them, especially the other royals like his children. The causes him to become judgmental towards his subjects, especially those he has expectations of. Not one to hide his disappointments of those that serve him, he is harshly blunt in his opinions of others. His derisive side is all too well known, and amidst his flamboyant and refined demeanour, his tongue is sharper and more vicious than anyone else’s in the kingdom, quickly able to put any commoner down into their place or enrage any noble that oversteps their boundaries.
A pragmatic and aloof person in general, Lukas’ emotional detachment to his duties has certainly painted him in a negative light with the rest of the kingdom, his logical ability to make the tough and necessarily ‘evil’ choices painting him as a cold, harsh king. Well it’s not like he cares about those frivolous opinions of those below him, but one thing he absolutely does not tolerate at all is anybody trying to take his possessions, whether they be material like belongings (his wife counts as one) or most importantly his kingship and power. Extremely possessive, he keeps a tight rein on those things he values, and is extremely protective of them. This instinctively makes him cautious by nature and is suspicious of most people around him, rarely ever trusting or drawing close with anybody at all. He can become paranoid about losing all he has or somebody taking them away from him at times and is quick to draw conclusions about anybody he perceives as dangerous or a threat. Anybody that messes with anything he claims his own will experience the cold anger of a vengeful king, one that doesn’t forget and one who is quite patient and creative with his retribution.
Lukas can also be described as greedy. Whatever catches his fancy he wishes to make his own and very little can deter him in his pursuits to acquire that which he does not have. Always collecting various relics and rare items are just one of his past times and while he does this to increase his own wealth, it is also in the hopes of obtaining even more power than he currently has. Eagerly ambitious, this king simply wants more, to inscribe his name in the annals of history forever and to control everything, whether it be simple situations or entire worlds , he wants to dominate it all. Not satisfied with his current position as king, Lukas is always striving to lift himself beyond his current limitations and even his own mortality. After all in his mind there is no better ruler in the world than him and there will never be another one after him.
His rise to power was never straight by the book and even his current reign is filled with deceit and secrets. Extremely cunning, there is no better player in the great game of deceit and manipulation than the king, having survived this long not by power alone. A master of deception and a manipulative puppeteer, he is quick to adjust his roles when the situation requires it, and on more than one occasion a few of his enemies have mysteriously disappeared or found themselves in a prison for a crime they did not commit.
Due to his strict and harsh upbringing, Lukas was raised to hold no weaknesses or at the very least display none. This has led him to despise showing any form of weakness, whether it is emotional, physical or otherwise. This explains he almost obsessive need to remain looking young and vibrant and his desire to continually search to increase his strength and power. He values strength and dislikes the weak, having no qualms to dispose somebody that holds no value to him anymore. Ruling with an iron fist, Lukas is a hard man that has become strong both out of need and want, becoming an intimidating figure to rivals and usurpers over the years out of necessity and to simply boost his own ego a bit.

[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930]WEAPON | Angustus – These gloves are unique and specially made for the king. Resembling gauntlets more than gloves with their metallic design, they are black across the palms with the fingers possessing a metallic design. The most notable feature of these gloves is the special glass domes atop the back of the palms on each glove. Swirling with mystic colours that seem to blossom deep within the domes, these gloves were created to limit Lukas’ Ignitionem ability, only allowing him use it safely. Made with magically infused materials, they are lightweight yet are as durable as steel, able to strengthen Lukas’ blows.
WEAPON LEVEL | Level 3
SPECIAL ABILITY | Vicis Mancipium – The by-product of his continuous research into immortality, this ability allows Lukas to affect the flow of time around his body. He casts a bubble of distorted time around himself, causing all entering it to drastically slow down. The heavier the object, the less affected they are. The radius of the ability is 30 feet but this can be changed, though the size of the bubble determines how long he can sustain it. Able to maintain the bubble for 4 posts, increasing the bubble by 10 feet decreases its duration by a post while decreasing its radius by the same amount increases its duration by one post. Regardless, this ability drains a lot of energy and as such cannot be used haphazardly by Lukas at all, with him having to wait 3 posts after its use to regain his energy before he is able to activate again. It is this ability that allows him to maintain his youthful appearance by slowing his physical aging down, though his lifespan still remains the same. Using this ability twice in a single day causes him to revert back to his true age’s appearance, much to his dismay.
Ignitionem – The ability to reduce the world back to ash, it is this ability coupled with his unchanging youthful appearance that earned him the moniker Phoenix King. Anything within the king’s sight becomes engulfed in fantastic and intense blue flame. By focusing his vision he can directly summon and ignite a target completely in extremely hot flames, or simply create waves of fire by sweeping his gaze across the battlefield. As long as it’s within his sight he can burn it, but at the same time it also presents the ability’s obvious weakness. Anything not within Lukas’ eyesight can effectively avoid the chasing flames and if he cannot see his target, like being blinded for example, he cannot ignite them. Given the power and amount of magic used by this ability, it has a detrimental effect on his eyes, each use of the ability gradually rendering him blind. By using it extensively in a short amount of time (using it 3 post consecutively) he can temporarily make himself completely blind, thus making his ability useless. Therefore Lukas limits his power, scaling it down greatly to the point that he can only cause things to burst into flames with his touch alone, and not as intensely as his blue flames as they now burn like original fire. He rarely uses his full power and only on those he deems truly worthy.

[style=width: 400px; font: 12px open sans condensed;serif; color: #e4be66;text-align:justify; background-color: #a65930]Born bearing the mark of royalty and the only son of the king, Lukas was groomed to be the next heir since his beginnings. His upbringing was unforgivably harsh as his father moulded him into his ideal vision of a king. Failure was not an option and under the strict tutelage of his father, the king, he quickly learnt the pain, both physical and emotional, of weakness. Still Lukas quickly met the heavy expectations laid upon him and for better or for worse he became the ruthless, domineering king his father envisioned.
Claiming the crown at the fragile age of 19 when his father passed away due to illness, the elder nobles and royals were not too pleased, especially with the floating rumours of the rightful heir’s disappearance a few years prior. Probably the most chaotic time of his life, the newly crowned king found himself constantly resisted and bombarded by veiled insults by his own court and even subjected to a few assassination attempts on his life. Yet, he remained firm, never backing down or displaying any weakness. Patiently weathering the storm, Lukas waited for the right moment to retaliate and establish his power firmly. Creating bold decrees while openly mocking and challenging the court around him, his every breath quickly became an insult to the pride and honour of those nobles against him.
It wasn’t until he took a relatively unknown woman to be his wife and their queen that they finally made their move openly, their anger blinding their judgment despite themselves. Within a few weeks the royal castle became a bloody battlefront as a few royals finally launched a coup d’état against the throne. It went all according to plan for the young king, his enemies’ movements falling into place and within his grasp. With a justifiable reason to publically eliminate his enemies, Lukas took the advantage to get rid of them once and for all. The battle lasted three days but its consequences would ripple through the kingdom forever with Lukas finally claiming total power within the kingdom and earning the nickname Phoenix King due to the bloodshed within the halls of the castle and afterwards as he hunted down all those that even whispered about opposing him.
Despite dealing with a few lingering nobles that plotted against him over the years, the king managed to settle into a semblance of a normal life, his heart even falling for the woman he selfishly pulled into his schemes and his bed. Bearing their first child together, which would become the next heir to the throne; Lukas tried to raise him as best he could to live up to the impossible standards he set upon the child. But this son proved little more than a disappointment and was quickly pushed aside as a lost cause, instead he came to a realization that the kingdom’s continued existence and expansion could only remain strong as long as it was tied with a powerful ruler, and that of course could only be him. And so began his conquest to gain more power, so much so to overcome the shackles of death bound to him.
Spending most of his time between his duties as a king and his continued research to gain his desire of immortality, he unfortunately pushed his family to the side, and unknowingly his wife into the hands of another man. The arrival of the twins did nothing to shake his firm conviction off his current path, though the various rumors regarding their parentage only stirred up passive anger within him, that being directed towards the innocent people in the form of increased tax laws and random punishments for light crimes to name but a few. As they grew up the rumours only continued to exasperate, as well as his wife’s supposed hidden affair. When she became pregnant yet again, this time with one that did not bare the mark of royalty, he in a fit of vengefulness bedded a servant and in doing so conceived another son, albeit a bastard one. Born mere months apart from each other, both children almost succumbed to the wrath of the king, their lives only spared by the pleading of the queen that managed to stir his lingering affections for her, that cracked through his cold heart.
The queen’s betrayal only fuelled his harsh and cruel reign, which till this day has gone unimpeded untll the sudden arrival of these Earth's humans that appeared out of nowhere and the unexpected rising of the rebels. Now once again, this king is forced to unleash his cold wrath across the kingdom to deal with those opposing him, aiming to carve his name into the land and hoping to once and for all establish his immortal reign.
