APATHETIC﹚[/color][/ul]
xxxxx Around most, Lucien is entirely devoid of emotional recognition. His eyes are dull with disinterest and his opinion doesn't exist. Somehow he has the ability to shut down his connections to the outside world, even in the most high stress situations, but this often leads to people calling him a cruel bastard when he isn't at all. Lucien's common expression looks entirely unreadable when he gets like this, and he's careful to keep it that way.
UNFORGIVING﹚
xxxxx When he is wronged, Lucien not only has the ability to hold a grudge, he has the inability of letting it go. This isn't usually done on purpose and it doesn't always include a vengeful attitude, but it makes it hard to remain close to Lucien. The man has the bad habit of pushing people away for the simplest of mistakes and it is almost impossible to make up for them.
UNPREDICTABLE﹚
xxxxx Some people claim to understand Lucien after spending some time with him, saying that he fits into the 'strong silent' typecast, but just as people think they understand him, he does something completely off base. He secretly prides himself of his completely capricious behavior. Often when someone says that he could be predictable in some way, Lucien has the bad habit of doing something crazy, reckless, or generally out of character.
THOUGHTFUL﹚
xxxxx Though you wouldn't guess it by his proffession or appearance, Lucien is a very thoughtful young man. He cares about things when he sees them in certain lights, but he never lets anyone see that side of himself. If there is something he needs to do that has different ways it could be done, Lucien devotes a great amount of time looking for the right, and most fitting, answer.
VALIANT﹚
xxxxx When he finds the right thing for himself, Lucien shows that he is a very worthy person. He fights boldly for what he believes in and never looks back when it comes to those issues. If you are fortunate enough to see Lucien at his finer points in fighting, meaning you aren't the one receiving the beating, you are graced with a truly awe inspiring sight.Likes:

xxxxx LUCIEN WAS AN ORPHAN FROM BIRTH. AFTER HIS MOTHER LEARNED SHE WAS PREGNANT SHE WAS FEARFUL, MOSTLY BECAUSE SHE WAS WEAK FROM HER OWN FATAL ILLNESSES, BUT SHE WAS DETERMINED TO GIVE BIRTH TO HER CHILD, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. LUCIEN'S FATHER PROTESTED, BUT FINALLY GAVE IN TO HIS WIFE'S DESIRES AND WAITED FOR NEWS THAT THE RISK HAD PASSED, BUT IT NEVER CAME. LUCIEN'S MOTHER LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO BRING HIM INTO THE WORLD AND GIVE HIM A NAME, RAY LEARAN FOSTER, BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY FROM COMPLICATIONS. HER HUSBAND GRIEVED AND TRIED TO MOVE ON, BUT IN THE PASSION OF THE MOMENT HE OVER-MEDICATED HIMSELF WITH HOPES OF JOINING HIS WIFE ONCE MORE. RAY WAS QUICKLY PLACED INTO ADOPTIVE SERVICES, WHICH WAS DIFFICULT CONSIDERING HOW YOUNG HE WAS. THE YOUNG FOSTER CHILD, IRONIC AS HIS FAMILY NAME BECAME, HAD NO ONE TO SUPPORT HIM IN HIS NEEDIEST TIMES.
xxxxx A FEW MONTHS PASSED AND RAY WAS BARELY RECEIVING PROPER CARE, BUT LUCKILY A FAMILY CAME ALONG THAT WANTED A CHILD. THE FAMILY WAS SMALL, A FATHER AND MOTHER WITHOUT ANY CHILDREN OF THEIR OWN, BUT THEY SHOWED A GREAT AFFECTION FOR CHILDREN. WHAT FINALLY PLACED RAY IN THEIR HANDS WAS THEIR WISH FOR A YOUNG CHILD, ONE WHO THEY COULD RAISE THEIR OWN WAY. THEY WANTED ASSURANCE THAT THEIR CHILD WOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER BEING LOVED. BEFORE LONG, THE ADOPTION WAS FINAL, BUT THE FAMILY CHOSE TO LET RAY KEEP HIS FAMILY NAME OUT OF RESPECT. YEARS PASSED BY QUICKLY AND RAY WAS RAISED TO BE A VERY HAPPY BOY, BUT ONCE HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE HIS DIFFERENT LAST NAME, THINGS BEGAN TO SHIFT. BY THE AGE OF TEN, RAY WAS ACTING UP BOTH AT SCHOOL AND HOME, USUALLY WITH VIOLENT OUTBURSTS OF ANGER THAT HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN LATER.
xxxxx IN CLASS, RAY WOULD BE CALLED UPON BUT HE ALWAYS REFUSED TO ANSWER TO HIS FIRST NAME. ONLY WHEN HE WAS CALLED FOSTER, HIS LAST NAME, WOULD THE CHILD SHOW ANY FORM OF ATTENTION TO THE SPEAKER. HE BECAME VERY WITHDRAWN AS HE GREW EVEN MORE AND LIVED A LIFE OF PERPETUAL SOLITUDE, ALL OF HIS OWN DESIGN. IN THE SILENCE, RAY WOULD BE GIVEN TIME TO THINK AND IT WAS ONLY WHEN HE WAS LOST IN HIS OWN THOUGHTS THAT HE SEEMED EVEN REMOTELY CONTENTED. ON HIS SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY HIS FOSTER PARENTS TOLD RAY THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE BECAUSE THEY COULD NO LONGER CARE FOR HIM. HE DIDN'T SEEM TO FEEL ANY FORM OF SADNESS AS HE PACKED HIS THINGS AND LEFT THAT NIGHT EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO. RAY WOULD CONSTANTLY PROCLAIM TO HIMSELF THAT HE WAS FINE ON HIS OWN.
xxxxx THOUGH MOST PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT ON THE STREETS, LUCIEN QUICKLY FOUND THE PERFECT CROWDS TO HANG AROUND TO SATE ALL OF HIS WORLDLY NEEDS, BUT THE COST WAS HIS WELL-BEING. LUCIEN DIDN'T INTEND TO JOIN ANY GANGS, BUT IT BECAME THE ONLY WAY HE COULD LIVE ON HIS OWN, SO HE BECAME A BIT OF A BODY GUARD FOR THE HEAD HONCHO OF A VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY PRESTIGIOUS GROUP OF CRIMINALS. WHENEVER ANYONE LEARNED THAT HE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN THEY WOULD OFTEN PROD FUN AT HIM, SAYING THAT HE MUST BE WEAK FOR BEING SO YOUNG. LUCIEN INITIATED FIGHTS OVER MUCH LESS AND WON EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM, EARNING HIS REPUTATION AS THE TOUGHEST KID IN THE CITY. PEOPLE FEARED HIM WHEN HE WALKED BY, ALL KNOWING WHO HE WAS BY RUMORS. A FEW YEARS PASSED OF 'THE SAME OLD SHIT', AS LUCIEN REFERRED TO IT, AND HE ALWAYS APPEARED AT LEAST CONTENTED WITH HIS ROUGH LIFESTYLE EVEN THROUGH ALL THE CHAOS GOING ON OVER DIGIMON ATTACKING, BUT THINGS TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN FOR THE WORST AS THE GANG HIDEOUT WAS INFILTRATED. LUCIEN DID HIS BEST TO FIGHT OFF THE DIGITAL MONSTERS, BUT HIS MUSCLE ALONE WASN'T ENOUGH AND HE WAS CAST ASIDE LIKE A RAG-DOLL WHILE HIS LEADER WAS BEING SLAUGHTERED.
xxxxx THE RECOVERY PROCESS THAT LUCIEN HAD TO GO THROUGH AFTER THAT ATTACK WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE. EVERY DAY THE YOUNG MAN WOULD COMPLAIN THAT HE WAS SICK OF BEING TOO WEAK TO FEND FOR HIMSELF, BUT HE WAS LUCKY TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. IN FACT HE WAS JUST LUCKY TO BE ONE OF THE THREE SURVIVORS OF THAT INCIDENT. ONCE HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIS BED, LUCIEN BEGAN PUSHING HIMSELF TO TRAIN BACK INTO BEING STRONG. DURING HIS TRAINING HE OFTEN RELAPSED FROM PUSHING TOO HARD, BUT EVENTUALLY HE WAS EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE AND HE REALIZED HE NEEDED A NEW CAREER. HOLDING A SILENT GRUDGE AGAINST THE DIGIMON, LUCIEN DECIDED HE'D FORCE HIS WAY INTO THE RED TAPE, AND AFTER A BIT OF ARGUING HE WAS ACCEPTED AS THE BODYGUARD TO SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE OF THE GROUP, SUCH AS THE LEADER'S DAUGHTER WHO APPEARED TOO WEAKLY AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NEED A GUARD AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER. THE RED-TAPE WEAPONS EXPERT THOUGH SEEMED TO INTEREST LUCIEN THE MOST.
xxxxx FOR THE MOST PART, LUCIEN IS HABIT FREE, BUT HE DOES HAVE ONE PECULIARITY ABOUT HIM. EVERY AFTERNOON HE HAS TO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE, NO MATTER HOW WARM IT IS. WHENEVER HE HAS HIS COFFEE HE OFTEN LOOKS LOST IN THOUGHT AND DOESN'T ALWAYS RESPOND WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO GET HIS ATTENTION.
