Lucas Zwingley

[Ninmast]

Name: Lucas Zwingley

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Alignment: Neutral Good

Power Level: High-tier Medium (6) (I think. He's the same power level as Cassandra.)

Timeline: Flexible, Originally Modern

Appearance: Somewhat tall, but not gargantuan, with a solid muscular build, but not huge. He's definitely athletic, but not Goliath. He keeps his brown hair trimmed neatly and out of the way of his chocolate brown eyes. His normal clothing is just casual wear, usually a t-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt and cargo pants. When in Ivalice, or some other realm when it becomes active, he's in heavy platemail and has two knight swords strapped to his back.

Personality: A very calm guy who takes most everything in stride and is always looking to help others out. He's a defender by nature, and a good ear to chew if you're looking for someone to talk to. He's the first to stand up for others and the last to step down. He is never judgemental of things people can't help or things people wish to repent of, but can bring down holy fury (and not entirely metaphorically) when things hit the fan.

History: Lucas wasn't part of Colin Degren's band, but he knew of the group and was a casual friend who came and watched frequently. When the event in Ivalice occurred, he was one of the ones to get pulled in.

Upon finding himself in another world, he actually took it rather well, and was frequently accused early on of believing he was dreaming. Truth was, as he explained to one of the friends he made there, he figured if he was there, he might as well make the best of it, rather than denying its existance.

He helped many people while he was there with his clan, taking many jobs that may not have paid as well, but brought the greatest service to others, though he did compete in a few tournaments, as well. Over the course of his adventures, he learned many new skills and abilities he never dreamed of, and he retained these when he returned to his own world.

He never bought it that Colin simply lost interest in singing practically overnight, or all of the other changes the "boy" showed, and he discovered the truth during a contest of skill set upon them by unknown greater beings (Read: Battle Arena! ;D ). Despite Cassandra's upset nature at being discovered, Lucas took it in stride, having already suspected something similar, and counseled the girl to not take it so seriously when there were so many other far worse situations in the world that people were suffering from.

Now, he's one of only a handful of people from St. Ivalice that know of Cassandra's true state.

(AN: This is prior to Cassandra marrying Glenn and her parents and everyone finding out. At that point, Lucas won't have changed much, and is probably on the Bride's side of the church.)

Equipment:

Mirror Plate - Plate armor polished to a mirror shine, it is backed with enchantments that grant the wearer permanent and automatic Reflect against all incoming spells, both hostile and benign, sending them back at the caster and the caster's allies. While this means even a mighty Meteor will be reflected before it can coalesce into an actual attack, it also means allied spellcasters can't heal or boost him, either.

Excalibur2 x2 - These two knightswords, Lucas' primary weapons, aren't the real Excalibur, and thus don't bear its immense magical protections, but are of an improved design based off of it, and boast extraordinary physical power and an extremely sharp edge.

Weakness: His jutsu are about as magical as he gets. He has no magical talents like Cassandra.
