Vessels [CAST CALL]
Leo Keserovic for Lucas
Backstory:
Origin: Lucas grew up in Fall City, where he devoted his life to the study of ancient texts and the history of the land. As a child, he was captivated by tales of gods and their conflicts with mortals, but the onset of the Daimonikós Plague shattered his idyllic view of the world. He lost family and friends to the affliction, deepening his resolve to understand its origins.
Connection to Kiran: Lucas believes that Kiran holds the key to understanding the true nature of Lorne’s vengeance and the origins of the plague. Intrigued by her immunity, he teams up with Kiran, hoping that her journey will uncover long-buried secrets. However, his thirst for knowledge is often driven by an obsession that can cloud his judgment.
Personality:
Lucas is intelligent, contemplative, and somewhat aloof. His knowledge often leads him to see the world through a tactical lens, analyzing situations rather than feeling their emotional weight. While he possesses a kind spirit and hopes for redemption, his obsession with the past can make him neglect connections with those around him—particularly Kiran, whom he treats as a subject of his studies rather than a friend.
Abilities:
Lucas is a remarkable scholar, possessing skills in ancient languages, ceremonial lore, and mythic history. He also has a knack for deciphering riddles and traps, making him a useful companion in navigating the ruins of Fall City. When the situation demands it, he wields a staff, infused with symbols of protection, but he is not as combat-ready as others, preferring diplomacy and cunning.
Visual Design:
Lucas is of average height, with an unkempt appearance that reflects his obsession with books and scrolls rather than personal grooming. His hair is tousled, streaked with gray, and he often wears layers of robes adorned with cryptic symbols, a testament to his scholarly pursuits. His eyes are a striking shade of green, filled with a mix of wisdom and deep sorrow. He carries a weathered satchel filled with scrolls, texts, and a few of his most treasured ancient artifacts, each with their own story.

Your immunity is not a mere fluke, Kiran. It is an echo from the past, a whisper of fate. If we decipher its meaning, we may hold the key to understanding the plague—and Lorne’s wrath.
I often forget... that even scholars must connect, must feel. You remind me of the warmth that knowledge can obscure.
I may not wield a sword, but every word I speak is a blade, every scroll a shield. Let us navigate these ruins with cunning, not brute force.
