| Powers | Spark - he is incredibly talented with inventing and mixing and matching technologies, including arcane or otherwise abnormal items. He is a classic 'mad scientist' in that regard, though he's anything but 'mad'. Give him a box of cast off parts and he will create something that could be arguably alive with it. He's unafraid to put effort into magical items, though he approaches this with technology and not wand-waving, alchemy in a word, and he is an absolute genius with mechanical engineering |
| Clusters | Arcane Technology +5 If the thing he needs to make has to interact in any way with magic, spirits, or the like, he can make sure it functions flawlessly. Give him an hour and a room filled with parts and a ghost, and he will have that ghost either trapped and serving as a power supply, or outfitted with a new mechanical body, depending on its personality Alchemical Wonders +3This applies to liquids, gasses, power sources and the like, he's very good with designing ways to power those machines that he makes. Anything from swamp gas to helium to ghost rock to raw channeled divine power, though he asks first in that last case. While he does have the skill and knowledge to create 'potions' for people to drink or apply, he tends to shy away from that, and instead remains mostly on the industrial-use-only side |
| Skills | Appraisal (Technological) +5 Virtually anything that's been assembled, tooled, drilled, forged, or otherwise handled physically, he can tell what it's been created out of, what materials might work best for its use, and whether it's broken (and then, obviously, fixing it with further skills) Appraisal (Magical/Spiritual) +2 Same with some items that have been enchanted, he can usually spot these items somehow, even if they look just like one that hasn't, but this isn't his forte. He only uses this when he's dealing with exams these days - since some kids think that embuing something with magic to make them work is the same as actually making them work... Engineering Artistry +2 While all of the things he makes are at the very least functional, if he has the luxury or the request, and the materials at hand, Lucien will make something that is also beautiful. He likes adding pleasant curves or slightly shiny filigree, but won't ever compromise the design itself in order to pretty it up for someone. If he thinks a device might work better if it's lighter weight, for instance, he'll choose to form cutouts and fanciful negative space in the heavier material instead of changing to a different material outright Philosophy +2 Mainly to avoid dealing with it, Lucien has studied this in the same way one might study a blueprint or checklist for details. You will not find him discussing religion with anyone at Carramba unless it's the actual god and they aren't trying to shoot his work down... |
| Knacks | Enjoys Teaching Tremendously +3 He takes pride in giving what he knows to others, though he does have standards for his students: they must be honest and hard working, as he's been burned before by thieves and liars. But aside from that he takes a 'try it and see' format - offering a selections of blueprints or instructions, or even piles of tools and equipment, and seeing what comes of it individually or on teams |

| Dragon | Rezora Quaerere |
| Hatched | FFF Remaster, by Dray and Phe |
| Pets? | He creates things, do they count? He still has his robotic mule? |
| Partners? | Had been in a relationship with his teenage girlfriend Julia but that... ended rather poorly (particularly with her doing as he had once pondered - hooking up with his actual nemesis Toren) |
| Children? | None known but he is certainly becoming more popular with the instructors on campus, so maybe there's time for that some day |
| Rezora Quaerere | Name: Rezora Quaerere (the 'copper watch', Hungarian-ish) Gender: Male Size: large 14' s/ 60' l / 70' ws* Build: muscular and strong Physical Features: Atuan-Piralan as shown* Colors: body shiny dark copper with dark blood red face, paw, and tail tips; fur and feathers dark blood red and dark brown; eyes and gems aqua green Stats: Strength 4, Speed 3, Endurance 2, Agility 6, Health 4, Intelligence 6 Abilities: Winged Flight as most of his strange siblings, Rezora is quite good with flight, and the fact that he has the ability to control his own temperature means that he can help himself aloft with a bit of warm under his wings; ^Teleportation, part of his psionic stuite, not used very often so he's not all that good with it, but it can get him in and out of some odd locations, that's for sure Verbal Speech, speaking with a soft and deep purring voice, and tends to use technical terms frequently; ^Telepathy generally only thinks with either other dragons or his closer friends Lucien and whoever the student-of-the-day might be, his range on this power is limited to around 500 meters with any clarity Avengaean Functional Magic, this is often in use in the form of granting himself vision focus, for working on tiny things, and cleaning himself up after a day of hard work - both of these things simply generated by whooshing his magical aura around a bit, or tightening it into whorls near his eyes *Shapeshifting (Dragon-Human Spectrum) Rezora spends a good amount of time in his humanoid form, which is a 6'6" tall (with the crown-like adornment) bipedal version of the above, with more elegant thumbs Psionics^ which includes Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Teleportation; the telekinesis is the strongest of these abilities and he uses it most frequently while aiding his friend in class, his name implies a watch - like a time piece - for a reason, after all, he's good enough with this power to manipulate tiny gears and pieces Body-Heat Control, Fire Immunity; Rezora is unafraid of fire to a degree that is almost absurd, but has never forgotten that a lot of others around him are not immune to burning or melting... As above, uses his body heat to produce updrafts and keep things at a nice temperature if it's cold out, and to occasionally warm up a chilly lab for the students Parents: Dam: Copper Atuan Mutt Tsdeidel Sire: Piralan Asandus Humili Quaerere (Ktrenal's) Bond: Lucien Vasalo, Voluntary Companionship, multiple?
