Apperance[edit]
Octavian, is a tall and willowy young man in his early twenties. His mid-length stark-white hair is tied back from his head at the nape of his neck, usually with whatever he has on hand at the time, his features while not statuesque or conventionall handsome have a strange exotic appeal to them. His skin is smooth and alabaster in tone, though it is perpetually smudged with soot or alchemical fluids, his eyes, one storm grey and one ice blue, are almond shaped and slightly canted at the edges. strangely enough, his ears are tappered, almost forming into points, though one has to pay attention to them to notice it. In accent, Octavian speaks with a mix of educated tones and workers slang, devolving into complex technical terms at a rapid almost incomprehensible speed when excited about somthing ( usually a project he is working on).
Personality[edit]
Octavian is by very deffinition, an eccentric, though in a much more positive light than many others of his class. While rather emotionally mature usually, Octavian often shows a small bit of naivete or lack of knowledge about certain aspects of society or life due to his cloistered attitude. Octvavian is friendly, and often displaying childish amounts of glee or excitement in the face of things that he is genuinly intrested in such as for instance, mechanical devices or magic. Octavian is stubborn by nature, with a keen intellect and however he often lets his mind rule over his heart, which tends to complicate many matters for him.
Abilities[edit]
Octavians main ability is his keen genius level intellect, this increased reasoning capability is coupelled with his unique perspective on reality allows him to see answers to questions that others often are unable to comprehend. Coupeled with this is an inate understanding of magic and its nature, and a first rate education in a vast series of subjects. Octavian has a voracious appetite for knowledge and is often not satisfied untill he can find an answer for the various questions that trouble him. Finally, Octavian possess an inate understanding for the working of mechanics and machienery, so much so that he has often suprised his tutors and senior alchemists and engineers with his ability to disassemble, then modify andsubsequently re-assemble in a far more efficient manner almost any device put before him.
Octavian has a basic knowledge of fencing, mostly with his sabre, thanks to his father. He's also not too bad a shot with a crossbow, though mostly Octavian prefers to use his mind and magic as his principle weapons in self defence.
Background[edit]
First born son of Septimus de Lucian, and great-grandson of Primus Mortimer de Lucian known, the Arch Alchemist and Master Mage-Smith of legend. Octavian grew up in what used to be well respected family, his mother having died in childbirth and most of the family fortunes having been squandered by his Grand father Octavian watched as his father's mental health deterorated, and his step-mother gained more and more control over the family. Octavians father became increasingly obessed with regaining their wealth, gambeling greater and greater amounts of their money on strange and obscure experiments. In his final days, Septimus de Lucian became increasingly obessed with a device that his own grandfather created known as The stone of the philsopers, a device that would allow him to regain their fortunes and therefore their honour. Mere days before the story begins, Septimus de Lucian passed away from a heart attack, leaving his notes unfinished, his first born son, now no longer the Heir to the fortunes ( his half-brother Tarram have made the heir by his stepmother as his 'fathers dying wish') has taken up his fathers quest, however, he is taking his quest far more cautiously than his late father did.
