Physical Attributes
Lucien has medium-length, feathery platinum-blonde hair, fair skin, and sea-green eyes. He is of a middling size, shorter than elezen, roegadyn and male Au Ra, but likely taller than most miqo'te and au ra. His visage seems to be well-kept, and his hair fair and soft, albeit with some strands sticking out. His build is slim and can be called handsome, not terribly muscular but clearly quite lean and able.
Voice & Personality
Lucien is almost always seen to be calm and composed. Cool and rational even in a situation worthy of panic, Lucien is a clear leader of men in spite of his tender years. His voice, too, is easy to listen to: quiet and boyish at most times, but easily able to be raised to shout orders in battle. His personality is one of his greatest assets, oft giving him the reputation of a charismatic young tactician within the Holy See. His dialect is clear of any profanity at almost all times, and anger very rarely reaches it, and he tries his best to show respect and dignity to even his enemies.
Being a tactician and leader of men, Lucien is a veritable prodigy in strategic games such as chess, Triple Triad, and many other board- and card-games. He is also fond of studying history, whether it be focused on famous leaders, battles, or politics between nations.
Combat
Lucien is an incredibly talented swordsman. Unlike other holy knights and paladins, Lucien chooses to forego a shield, leaving one hand free while wielding a long arming sword or using both hands to deliver stronger sword strikes. The knight combines martial mastery with holy swordsmanship, often weaving slashes, stabs and strikes with parries from his free hand, acrobatic leaps and kicks, punches, and various forms of holy magicks to overwhelm enemies. He is capable of healing wounds as well, very much willing to fall back from a fight in order to heal those under his command and comradeship.
Dress
Lucien can be seen in a wide variety of clothing and armor sets, most of Ishgardian craft. His signature and favorite armor set consists of a uniform oft worn by holy knights and paladins, consisting of a long blue cape with an inverted red interior, white plate gauntlets and sabatons, and a decorated armored tunic. Lucien usually foregoes a helmet, wishing to show his face both for his friends and for his enemies as a gesture of respect.
History & Identity
Lucien Thevenet was born under the jurisdiction of House Haillenarte, initially growing up as a very handsome and notably intelligent young servant-boy. In his spare time, the boy trained with knights of the high house, and was shown to have an incredibly high natural aptitude for a single blade, though shields were heavy for the young lad. Because of this, he chose not to use a shield all the way into adulthood, instead mastering use of a single sword and a free left hand, using his body as a weapon in of itself in a manner similar to pugilism while wielding a sword. Impressed, the higher-ups of House Haillenarte allowed Lucien to train as a knight, and upon coming of age, he entered the service of Ser Aymeric and the Temple Knights of the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly, where he quickly rose in the ranks due to his intelligence, charisma, and loyalty. He now serves in the ranks directly under Ser Handeloup de Daimbaux as a leader of men. Lucien is oft willing to take the Temple Knights on expeditions away from Ishgard in order to see the world and fight the enemies of the Eorzean Alliance that the Holy See so recently joined, in order to repay them for their services.
