General
Name: Lucas Titouan Dubois
Age: 14
Birthday: Feburary 24, 2033
Magical Blood-Type: Pureblood
Wand: 14 inches, Rowan, Olive handle, flexible, double dragon heartstring core.
Pets: Corwin - a white snow owl.

Magical/Academic Ability: Lucas is a hard working student. He’s not the best, far from it, but he does have his strong and weak subjects. He seems to have a natural talent for the natural subjects that involves plants or animals, so he is good in Potions, Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. Aside from that, he’s good at Charms and duelling, but not so in Transfiguration. He also has issues with studying for History, and studying for something as distant as Astronomy is definitely hard work. He does try though, so give him points for that. He really wants to excel in his subjects, but he’s not perfect.
Strong: Potions, Herbology, Wandless
Weak: Transfiguration, Astronomy, History

Quidditch: Lucas has played Quidditch for as long as he can remember. His father used to play with him in the backyard. He’s an excellent chaser.

Amortentia: It has a very strong scent of ripe, summer peaches. Then underneath there is the slight scent of a burnt out fire, new paper and some sort of sweet flower, lavender perhaps, very girlish nonetheless. Also, there is the smell of sweet strawberries and chocolate.
Boggart: Flames
Dementor: His worst memory is from when he was stuck inside the burning house. He tried to control the flames, but they were overwhelming. He barely made it out alive. It got worse though when he found out that his father was still inside.
Patronus: Wolf

Lore: Lucas is able to control and manipulate fire. He cannot create flame or fire, therefore he always wear a lighter. He can control small to medium fires, though his lore is still growing. By control he is able to do what he will with the flame, make it grow smaller or bigger by his will alone, however, always within a size he can control. He can manipulate the flame by using his will to move it. He can for instance “hold” the flame in his palm without being burnt. Lucas can make the flame grow, but there will come a point where controlling the flame will be a challenge. Fire is fun to play with, but can easily get out of control, that is why it is so dangerous. Lucas knows his limits, but he is constantly pushing it, always trying to improve and make his lore grow stronger. One day he hopes he can master almost all fire, though that is a dream unlikely to come true. Still, a boy can dream.



Appearance
Eyes: Lucas has very round and open eyes, however, they appear to be just two dark pits of nothingness. His eyes seems to lack a little of that life spark so many of us have. His eyes are heavily lidded and with long dark eyelashes. His eye colour is actually dark brown, but they appear black most of the time.

Hair: Lucas has semi-long dark brown hair. He’s not a fashion freak so he doesn’t care that much about his appearance. His hair is mostly straight, but also tousled. It looks good on him though, that slight constant look of being windswept. He does have to push his bangs out of the way time to time, to keep it from falling into his eyes.

Attire: As mentioned previously, Lucas doesn’t care that much about appearance, but he doesn’t dress like a complete no-brainer either. He usually wears slightly skinny jeans and trousers and a sweater or cardigan over a t-shirt. He doesn’t use ostentatious colours but tend to lean more towards the natural and earthly colours, brown, grey and black. Some girls would claim that he has a sort of fashion sense as he seems to dress rather decent, but he wouldn’t have an opinion on that. Whether or not he does dress “fashionable” he wouldn’t know anything about it, at least not consciously.

General: Lucas is a tall and lean looking boy. He currently stands at 5’8 and weighs around 125lbs. His face is a strong and well-proportioned one. His nose is strong and straight and his jaw line, no matter how strong is it, has a certain soft look to it. His eyebrows match the roots of his hair and are not as bushy as some boys’. His eyes are very dark and have a constant darkness in them. Sometimes he can look at you with a look that makes you wonder whether or not he wants you dead. His lips are thin and medium long with and attractively soft pink. His body is not exactly a large one. He is tall, yes, but not big. He has a lean looking body, it doesn’t have hefty muscles, but the regular muscles skinny boys have, almost none at all. However, being a boy, he is still stronger than your average girl. His shoulders are pointy and his skin has a slight undertone of tanning, but it’s mostly pale and slightly translucent in a way. He has a few birthmarks here and there, small brown dots on his skin, but nothing that’ll draw attention. His skin is smooth and has hardly any acne. Overall, Lucas is a handsome boy, some might even say pretty. He has a certain charm about him, in spite of his grim mood. There is just something there that will make you think he’s sweet and handsome underneath the hash exterior. And all this is confirmed when he smiles. His smile is simply to die for. It is very charming and heart breaking, you’re sure to get a crush! Too bad he doesn’t smile, at least not often.



Personality
Traits:
Callous - Due to his childhood, Lucas is sort of hardened when it comes to emotions and relationships to other people. He has a hard time trusting and he doesn’t have much sympathy for other people.

Charismatic - If he pulled his act together and just treated people a little less indifferently, he could’ve had quite the charismatic personality. There is something about him that you don’t want to say no to, no matter how cold he might appear. He never seems to use this treat; at least not consciously, but his teachers seem to have some sort of weird liking to him.

Charming - When he wants to he can be quite the charming fellow. However, shadowed by his flaws and dark nature, this small treat in his nature rarely comes on, mostly because he doesn’t bother. However, if he wants to he can either turn on his charm just to be nice or because it is something he wants, most likely the latter.

Crude - It’s not so much that he doesn’t know how to behave himself, his mother did a fine job there, but it’s more like he’s given up and doesn’t bother anymore. He can seem quite tactless and someone with huge flaw in social grace. He is likely to say and do inappropriate things, sometimes with or without knowing it himself.

Cynical - It’s a bad habit he’s picked up from his childhood. He tends to see the worst in people, or at least expect the worst. He feels that he only one who can take care of him is himself, so he is not very trusting towards others.

Impudent - He’s just a bit bitter, contemptuous towards others. He can be rude and easily shake someone off. His tongue can be very spiteful.

Mercurial - He does have a bit of a mood. He suffers from constant depression and mood swings. A muggle doctor would probably label him as manic depressive. It’s hard to know how he feels. Though he tends to walk around in a slightly sulky yet cold demeanour, he might just lash out at you if get on his nerves, or personal space.

Ornery - He is easily annoyed and aggravated. He doesn’t like his personal space being invaded and he doesn’t like annoying people, and almost everyone’s annoying. However, as irritable as he may be, he tends to keep this to himself, until of course, he bursts. And nothing nice can come of that.

Pensive - He’s always contemplating things in his mind, often reflecting on sad and depressive things. He’s quite introverted.

Stoic - He always appear very cold to the outside world. He doesn’t like showing his emotions or getting himself involved in anyone else’s privacy, or let anyone mingle with his privacy, so he shuts himself up. At least he tries to. He’s very good at hiding and composing his feelings, however, he does get annoyed very often. Which is not a good combination when trying to pretend emotions doesn’t exist.

Quirks:
Accent - He grew up in France where his mother taught him English. Though he speaks and writes the language fluently, he has a slight French accent to his English, which he hates and sees as a flaw.

Allergies - He’s allergic to oranges. He gets an awful red rash and he swells.

Fetish Item - A lighter. Since he cannot produce fire, and needs something that can.

Musically Inclined - His father had an old piano in his study, he would often teach Lucas how to play it, and since then, he’s been practising and practising until he was sent to a proper teacher to get instructions. He’s a natural at it.

Remembrance Item - He has a semi-long silver chain around his neck with a silver cross hanging on it. It belonged to his father.

Vegetarian - His mother taught him to be a vegetarian. The way animals were treated and how unnatural it was, she just wouldn’t allow it. Now that Lucas has grown up, he too shares some of her ideas, however, he mostly doesn’t eat meat because he doesn’t like the taste.

General: Lucas is a very damaged boy. Flaws and faults make him up. He is anti-social, depressive, cold and easily provoked: never a good combination. However, there is reason behind the madness. He’s lived a life of abandonment and pain, and an awful self-disgust. He’s not seen the best of the world, even though he’s had his good moments. However, as cold as he appears, he’s actually a very sensitive boy, and he takes things personally very quickly. Therefore, he shuts himself up. If he doesn’t get involved with too many people, then he doesn’t need to worry about hurting himself or them. Besides, he always expects the worst of people, so why take a risk and get disappointed. However, as dark as he appears, as lost and disconnected as he is, there is always a lighter and softer side to him. When he wants to, he can be quite charming. His smile is to die for. He is the most loyal person alive, however, he just doesn’t make an opportunity for himself to get friends. He really is just a lonely boy, who has suffered a lot alone, but in spite of how he acts, he knows how to be sweet and considerate, he just thinks being rude and cold is easier. He lives under the illusion that it is, when what he really wants is to be like everyone else.

History:
Lucas was born to Orinthia Crowe and Guillaume Dubois one snowy night in Feburary. Orinthia Crowe came from a long line of pureblood druid family. However, because of certain circumstances she knew not of this fact. Fellispar Crowe was the leader of the natural druids. He had two children, Vex and Roe. When he died, one of the two was to take over the leader role, but no one wanted the title. Vex became pregnant had two beautiful children. The siblings were Vespequinn and Orinthia. However, Vex died in the childbirth of her youngest daughter, leaving the responsibility of the children to her sister, Roe.

Roe took care of the children from then on. She raised the children as her own, claiming to be their mother. She raised them in the city, far away from druidry, thinking it best not to. The two siblings never got to know anything about druidry or that type of magic, and they grew up to be sweet little girls. At the age of eleven, both girls attended Hogwarts. Orinthia was sorted into Slytherin for her sly wit and cunning, though she did have a gentler side than most Slytherins.

After graduation her sister pursued the arts of healing, Orinthia studied the field of Ancient Rues, Arithmancy and Potion making. She was a bright girl and studied hard. She did have her own ways of doing things and was often taken to the Ministry for practising a little less conventionally than others. It was here she met Guillaume Dubois, an auror-in-training, coming all the way from France to study under their famous auror program. Guillaume came from a long line of French purebloods, though his family was considered blood traitors there. His family had been supporter of muggleborn and half-blood rights for years. Orinthia and Guillaume met frequently at the Ministry, and being French he had no trouble asking her out after seeing her one too many times. She was fascinating in her presence and she held a certain mystery over her, even though she was perfectly friendly and social. Orinthia readily accepted the invitation and they started dating. It did not take her long to fall in love. She had been a known flirt at school, but this was not like any other guy she’d ever met. She was serious with this guy, and they dated for almost a year.

Guillaume was a few years older than Orinthia, so he was finished with his education the following year. Orinthia decided to move to France with him. She saw no other reason not to. She was head-over-heels in love and convinced she would spend the rest of her life with him. She was a bit naïve, but also very impulsive. So when he asked, she had immediately said yes. By this time she had turned 19 she was as happy as she had ever been, studying in France with her boyfriend. It was then that she found out that she was pregnant. This did not concern her, though she did dread it when she had to tell Guillaume. He was a bit shocked at first, but he loved her dearly and wanted to take care of her and the baby. He even asked to marry her. However, at the time she did not want to get married just for the sake of the baby. She thought they were perfectly happy as they were. She gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, little boy. The happy couple named him Lucas. He was their pride and joy.

The family lived in France. Orinthia studied there, learning French as well while Guillaume worked for the French Government. Lucas was a happy little boy. He was a bit quiet and weird, but he always had that incredible charming smile on his lips. The boy had a look in his eyes that could charm even the coldest, most bitter, old lady. Orinthia frequently took Lucas to England to visit her older sister, Quinn, who worked at St. Mungo’s. It was around this time, the age of two, where Lucas started showing weird magical powers. He had been sitting on the floor, staring at a lit candle. Suddenly he had pointed at the flame, and the little flame had danced from the candle and into his palm where it burnt for a little while and died. At first his parents only thought that it was normal signs of magic, but it turned out he had something else. They were very confused, they had never heard of such naturals before. After some great effort from Guillaume’s side, they found out that their son had extraordinary powers, lore powers. It was clear that he would not attend a normal magical school, but they found a school in the US. At the age of two he was already admitted there.

Lucas loved playing with his lore, and even though he was young, he knew he needed to keep it a secret. It was not normal, not even for magical people, to have this skill. Neither of his parents knew if they had lorists in their families, least of all Orinthia. She didn’t know much about her roots, but then again, she had never asked Roe. Orinthia raised her boy well. While Guillaume was working she would stay at home and teach him about magic and other things. He played the piano when he was 5 and was sent to a proper tutor, as he got older. His mother also taught him to draw. Orinthia taught her boy many things, among them manners and lifestyle. Lucas became a vegetarian because of his mother, and he always knew how to dress and how to speak. He loved her very much, and he was fond of his father too. He was a little sad that his father had to work all the time, but his father always found room to play a game of Quidditch every now and then.

Then it happened. Lucas was not very old when it happened. It was the summer after his 8th birthday. Orinthia and Quinn’s mother died. At least, they thought it was their mother. In her will Roe revealed everything. She told her nieces about who their real mother was and about the strong druid blood in their veins. It explained why they were so drawn to nature and why they were so good at what they did. Orinthia and Quinn were left in utter and total shock of the revelation, but that soon changed. Quinn was absolutely furious that it had been kept from her all these years; she wanted nothing to do with druids. Orinthia on the other hand embraced her roots. She had always felt that there was something different about her, and now she had the chance to explore it. She tried to explain it to her sister but her Quinn would not listen. She wanted to ignore their roots. So, distraught and hurt, Quinn cut all ties to her sister.

Orinthia was hurt of course, but she did not want to upset her sister further and did not try to contact her again. However, she was now left with a dilemma. She wanted to explore and learn more about who she was and where she came from, but in order to do that she had to leave her home and family. Orinthia stayed for a few months and explained it to Guillaume. He loved her too dearly to deny her anything she wanted, and she was too restless to be kept behind. She swore she loved him though, and at the turn of the year, she left them. It was January. Only a month till Lucas turned 9.

The absence of his mother shattered the poor boys spirit. Though he had his father and his reassuring words, he had always been more tied to his mother. She had always been around while his father was at work. There was a difference. It was a tough year for the boy. He no longer smiled like he used to, and he never saw his aunt. He lived in France with his father and spent his days less in contact with the world than ever before. Everything was going as planned though. When Lucas turned 11 he was shipped to go to school at Karthen in the US. Being a first year was hard enough, but still suffering form his mother’s decision to leave her home and family in order to practice druid magic, did not make things easier.

Lucas had never been quick to make new friends and with the events that happened on Karthen that year, he never stood a chance. In the middle of his first year, Karthen was under attack from the Ethereals. Around him many people died, and he had just gotten to learn magic, he was of no use to anyone. He made it out, barely alive and was sent to safety. Back in France, the Ethereals had been brewing for months, and his father made it out of the ministry too. He fled to England along with many of his auror colleagues. In England he met with Lucas where the Minsitry of Magic told them that Hogwarts was taking in Karthen students to practice their lore magic. Guillaume accepted those terms and sent his son there while he was working up his chase to start working at the Biritsh Ministry. It proved to be easy, because Guillaume had some useful information to them. So, while Guillaume got a job in England and finally moved there, Lucas was sent to Hogwarts with the other survivors.

Lucas and the other lorists were immediately disliked at Hogwarts, and he was bullied much throughout his last year as a first year. That summer he worked on his magic like he’d never done before. He was even interested in his druid roots. He read book after book and practiced with his lore as often as he could. He wanted to master his lore.

His second year was different. He was different. He was vindictive and cruel. He was cold and sarcastic. He was not bullied anymore. Before, he had been too scared to show off his lore, but now he displayed it to anyone he felt threatening him. He never left without his lighter; as he could not create flames, just control them. The years blended into each other and his lore grew stronger. He sucked knowledge like a sponge on some arias while in others he struggled to even keep awake. His father had gotten a solid job at the Ministry now, and had gotten a comfortable home in London. Lucas was home each Christmas. Then, another tragedy struck. It was the winter holidays in his third year. One night their house got broken into. It was an assassin from the Ethereal’s coming to kill Guillaume. Guillaume had heard him coming though and told Lucas to hide under the bed. He did so. Guillaume fought bravely and managed to fend off the assassin, but not before getting a lethal blow from his curse-sending wand. The assassin left and the house was set on fire. It burnt quickly, magical flames licking the walls and spreading. Soon the entire house was on fire. Guillaume yelled for Lucas to get out and Lucas did what he was told. He had no power at all to fend off the mass of flames that tried to lick him, and the heat and the lack of oxygen was hardly durable, but he managed to get out. He had just enough power to prevent the flames from touching him. The Ministry arrived soon and got Guillaume out. He had passed out from lack of oxygen and was rushed to the hospital. Lucas was sent to his paternal grandmother who lived in London too. The next day they got the news: Guillaume Dubois was dead.

It was tough getting back to Hogwarts, but somehow he managed to shut out his emotions, just walking around more distant than ever. Though, he wasn’t distant. He was hurt, angry, sad and lonely. More than ever did he want to learn how to control his lore and how to become a great wizard, like his father. If anything, he was more determined than ever to get his revenge on the people that had hurt him and his family, and also, he wanted to find his mother. After all, he had not heard from her for 6 years.
