Lucian

20 something

Fire elemental magic/pyrokinesis

As a child, Lucian’s mother and stepfather always insisted that he kept his ability a secret. Neither of them could use magic and his stepfather, who had been a member of an anti-magic organization for several years, never tried to hide the fact that he hated it. Lucian never quite understood their disliked of magic and would practice in secret when his parents weren’t around, sometimes showing tricks he’d learned to his sibling(s?). For a few years, this seemed to work well enough, but an accident when he was 12 changed everything.

Unconscious and badly burned, Lucian was found in the rubble of his family’s house by Maverick (placeholder name?) the leader of (anti-magic organization) who took him to their base where he could receive medical attention. When he woke he was told that he had lost control of his magic, caused an explosion,  and that he was the only survivor of the resulting fire. As he had had nowhere to go, Maverick offered to let him stay at the organization’s base. While Lucian was recovering, Maverick taught him about the organization and the dangers magic brought to the world. Maverick eventually convinced Lucian to join (organization) and started training him to fight without magic.   

In the years that followed there were often moments when Lucian was unsure if he was really doing the right thing by staying with Maverick’s group, but he always tried to convince himself that he was- after all, it was out of control magic that had destroyed his family, and Maverick and his group that saved him. 

As he gets to know Vyra, he‘s finally unable to avoid the truth, changes sides, and they both escape, eventually joining Arlo’s group
