History: Lucius was born as the second son of a happily married couple. His parents were both killed by a werewolf while travelling, and his brother, who is several years older than him finished raising him. He has dedicated his life to hunting werewolves alongside his brother. Unfortunately, he was bitten while hunting down a particularly viscious one three years ago. Luckily, with the magic and technology available in New London, he was able to procure a special amulet that allows him to better combat his wolfish instincts and fight off his monthly transformations. Still, his brother refuses to speak to him, disgusted by what he has become. Since he was bitten, he has formed a society that hunts down and tries to help werewolves that can still be saved while still eliminating those that have lost their minds or who are purposefully viscious. Over the last year, he has begun to yearn for a true pack of his own and managed to acquire an invitation to the ball in the hopes of finding something or someone there.
Abilities/Skills: Swordfighting, Shooting, Great Strength and Speed, Enhanced Senses, Tracking, Leadership, Strategy
Personality: He is a very confident man and can be a bit flirtatious in the right mood. He is very opinionated but willing to listen to others' ideas. He is logical and a great strategist. He hates what he has become but sees no use in bemoaning the fact. He is rather bitter over losing his brother because of it, however. He longs for companionship but has yet to find anyone to fill that role.
Non-Bonding Companions for the Ball: None
Meeting Notes (Written by Shard): It felt fairly strange to be standing at a bar picking up a dark beer with a pale head - and the bartender was apparently a raccoon woman. Now, she wasn't unattractive, in fact she was... markedly pretty. But if she seemed ill at ease with any of the humans or elves or whatever else was here, she didn't show it in any way. She had a brilliant smile with little pointy teeth, an afro which almost covered her ears, velvety brown skin with black and grey accents, and that distinct mask marking on her face; he wasn't sure whether the fur trim over her snug shiny grey dress was her own or part of the outfit. Lucius was apt to stare, but it appeared she was completely comfortable with that - or she was so used to it that it didn't seem to matter. She pushed the Guinness at him with a napkin under it and a wink. "Have some fun," she suggested.
It was less than an hour later when she took a break, found him, and dragged him to the dance floor. She had a fuller tail than any 'real' raccoon but then she was either half-human or ... something else. Not a shifter, not like him. And yet, this was the most fun he'd had in years. Brandy tugged on his elbow while they were in mid-swing, "Something is happening," she said, and glanced to the edge of the room.
Others paused in their dance too, because a pair of stunning dragons were leading their offspring out from their nook and through the big room. They were on the tall side, but long too, with tails that just kept going, and were covered in a downy fluff even as hatchlings. Most of the little ones bumbled about, occasionally staggering or pausing to gain their footing again. Some of them sniffed at a dancer, moved around, looked at those at the tables beyond, or outright stood up and gave chittering discussions to their new friend. They sure were shiny, and ran the whole gamut between rich black and sparkly white.
One of them nudged Brandy, who laughed, "well, I suppose I can give him up for a dance or two." She'd gone back to her station at the wide bar before he could even speak. But then there was something else to consider, and that was the black furred dragon who had interrupted.
"Mine," she said, "you, we wait now." Perhaps she spoke this way because - well, she was just hatched, wasn't she? She'd certainly become more adept at it with time.
Lucius blinked a few times after pondering that. "Wait, you're -"
"Mine, Feibuu's," she reiterated. And then she walked with confidence to a section of the floor that had been prepared for new dragons to feed. Lucius wasn't the only one with the baffled expression, others definitely were amused or confused in varying degrees by their new friends. He could feel the gentle ping of her mind, though it wasn't as invasive as he expected if this was a bond?
No, that came an hour or so later, when some described as 'Pernese' came out. He heard muttering that the parents were pretty far from 'pure' if that was the breed, but he didn't know what that might mean, and it didn't matter. A dragon much lighter than the first though still clearly 'dark' stomped up and sat down with a stare directly at Feibuu and then at Lucius.
"It is okay," Feibuu said. She didn't seem exasperated, but she might want to work on her inflection.
I want to come with you too. I am Mawlaeju and I am hungry.
Lucius found that he knew both of those things before the dragon even expressed them telepathically. Back to the feeding floor it was! This was one of the 'knockoff' types? Well it seemed perfectly good, if smaller than some. Checkerboard patterns improbably on its wings, now that would be ... challenging, in some settings.
Even more challenging would be the second dragonet that insisted they come along with the existing pair. This one was bicolored with a dark body and lighter belly, but still had the checkerboard patternings on its wings and ridges. (Though apparently these were 'much more like Pernese' than before...) Their features were different, but then again weren't all species just a bit different from place to place? Taomami inserted themselves into the werewolf's mind with a gentle pleased feeling. Much more pleased when they were full of fresh cut meat, and resting with the other two.
His pack was growing, Lucius realized. At least two of them would remain pretty small, but he did wonder... how would he feed them all? Where would they roost?
As the trio snoozed and he sipped at champagne toward midnight, he decided he'd figure that out when he got home. For now, he watched the celebration with a smile.
Lucius has bonded with Feibuu Nye'nnay and Impressed Taomami and Mawlaeju.
