Skills
Master:
Alteration: Lucien has used Alteration since he has ever practiced magicka. He finds it vitally important to boost the effectiveness of his armor during conflicts, and sometimes boosts the abilities of others. This practice of magicka also allows him to see out of his blindness. It has become almost an unconscious effort to use it in pair with his other senses, in order to view the world.
Illusion: Due to his extensive study and practice of this magicka type, he has become virtually immune to it. Though he does not take amusement in controlling others, as some would, he uses it to gain any sort of advantage in battle.
Conjuration/Necromancy: Lucien has taken an interest in summoning deadly creatures of the dark. Dark Atronachs that swallow everything in their wake with darkness are very powerful. He also loves to raise dark souls from the damned from Oblivion as well. Dubbing him a powerful Necromancer as well.
Enchanting: When he was younger, Lucien had a particular proficiency in Enchantments. He would enchant weapons and armor for his Nomadic whenever they asked. He is an expert in this craft, with no issues. He has taken a particular interest in fire enchants. Allowing him to be particularly effective towards other undead, ironically.
Expert:
Destruction: This magicka, that he is skilled in, allows him to be more intimidating than necessary. He has practiced hundreds of destruction spells, from all corners the world. But has taken a liking to Flame Magicka, making him a powerful Pyromancer.
Restoration: With this skill, Lucien has come back from the brink of death. Though he does not hold the potential to heal others very well, he has more than enough skill to keep him from complete death.
One-Handed: He wields one strong blade. It is particularly effective towards his own kind, due to it's powerful enchantment. And with his skill in wielding it, it has a power unmatched towards dark creatures.
Alchemy: Though he seldom uses potions to cure himself, or boost his abilities, he often creates deadly concoctions and poisons to help in his craft. He finds collecting materials, and creating deadly toxins as a fun hobby, proving his skills in this profession quite masterful.
Adept:
Light Armor: Though only a couple pieces of his gear count as armor, he has practiced wearing this light and flexible material since he was young. problem with the armor however, is it's restrictions towards magicka, making him only use small amounts of this armor type.
Smithing: In his extensive studies, he has practiced creating and maintaining weapons and armor better than most blacksmiths. Though he isn't the best smith known, he takes pride creating his own gear, as well as maintaining it and upgrading it. Even though most other gear is slightly better.
Speech: Lucien is a very intimidating man. He has practiced his way with words enough to come across scary and as well as knowledgeable. However, he tends to stay away from sociable situations.
Apprentice:
Sneak: Though he seldom stays quiet and unheard, he has the potential to do so. The fact that he seldom practices this skill, makes him merely decent.
Climbing/Parkour: Lucien has the skill to climb, and free run faster than most when he needs a quick getaway. However, he never runs from battle, unless victory is not an option at all.
Novice:
Lucien has studied a variety off skills, but has never come to liking them much. He does however understand how useful and powerful they can be once mastered.

Gear
Armor: He wears a very simple, self crafted set of gear. A simple tunic with pants, covered in a thin leather vest. Over that is a belt, with many pouches for poisons, scrolls and other things. On the back of the belt is a horizontal mounted sword sheathe. He wears very thin gloves, for maximum casting ability, and thick leather boots. At his back is a cloak, that matches the dark scheme of the rest of his gear. Finally, on his left shoulder, is a single steal pauldron.
Weapons: He carries only one weapon. His blade, a hand crafted silver sword. He calls it Firshiat, and it has been blessed by his Nomadic Tribes Priest, to be especially effective against dark creatures. It sets them ablaze with flames, and absorbs their dark energy, into Lucien's own dark energy pool.
Misc: He was born during the Void Nights, which is where some speculate his blindness comes from. As well as his unnatural abilities with Dark Magicka. Though he has always been blind, he has always been able to see and detect better than most with vision. He uses his sense of hearing, smell and taste in tandem with his Alteration and Illusion magicka, to sense and feel the movements, size and shape of almost anything. With his blindness, comes a sense of no fear, which allows him to carry out some of the most impossible tasks with ease. Some wonder where his unrivaled natural magical talent comes from, but rumors only speculate it was the gods blessing him during the mysterious disappearance of Masser and Secunda.
History/Biography
Childhood: He was born in a tribe of Nomads in the Alak'r Desert. During the Void Nights, when Masser and Secunda had disappeared. The lack of these moons caused night life during these 2 years, to be heavily increased, almost pitch black. Lucien was born into this with a darkness of his own.
The elders of the Tribe saw him to be a cursed child, with eyes as black as night, and markings from Oblivion itself. However, he was born silent, looking at the world as if it was empty. They came to realize this baby was sightless, and was viewed as a miracle.
After the Void nights had ended, Lucien's eyes grew pale white. As a sign of the dual moons' returning.
As he grew older, Lucien pulled away from the warrior life style of this nomad society. He was part Altmer, causing him to be interested in the magical arts, and from the beginning, he had a particular blessing towards them. He developed an odd way of sight for his own. He would gesture as if he was pushing something away from his body. What he was actually doing was sending a wave of energy from his body, back to his body, so that he could sense anything around him.
As he grew older, this way of sensing, became an unconscious effort, and just happened, like breathing. As other kids were training, and learning to battle, Lucien was reading books with his fingers. Learning new spells, and magical abilities as the years progressed. He felt that when he was practicing, the night time usually made him stronger with his abilities.
He could move objects, without touching them, he could anger people, without talking to them. he found these abilities fascinating, and practiced them more and more with each coming day. Then while the Tribe was stopped near Dragonstar, Lucien left the tribe behind. He had no special bond with is parents, due to there lack of Magical understanding. So he stayed with the School of Magicka that was there.
Teenager: In this school, Lucien found his home. The students and teachers of the school found his way of 'sight' fascinating to the fullest. They wanted learn it themselves, but nobody could come close to Lucien's mastery of it.
Not only did Lucien learn more and more skills as time progressed, he became a well known wizard. He was at the school for a time 50 years, a small portion of his lifespan, according to his tribe.
At this point, some of the School started to notice Lucien's interest and proficiency with the darker side of magicka. Using fear spells, manipulations, he was an intimidating figure within the school. And some started to worry, and rightfully so.
This is when Lucien started to developed a keen liking to the school of Conjuration. He found his own use of dark creatures, that were undiscovered atronachs. They weren't of fire, frost or storm. They were of another, dark and terrifying variety. A type that nobody had courage to delve into. But Lucien lacked the one thing most others had: fear.
Not only was he exploring the undiscovered dark side of Conjuration magicka. He was delving into Necromancy. He was summoning damned souls from Oblivion during his trials. And people started to fear. So he was expelled from the school. And forbidden to join any others.
Though Lucien wasn't angered by his expulsion, he thought it to be more freedom. To discover, and uncover more of his dark abilities, and become a powerful mage of darkness. So he continued to travel. Into a Northern Province. Skyrim. Lucien loved the climate in the North, due to his come up in the constant heat.
In Skyrim, he learned some skills with the blade, and some skills in crafting and alchemy. Taking up some new hobbies, he searched for more. Then he found a contract. To kill. This intrigued Lucien. He had never used his Magicka on other beings. He had always practiced in solitude, by himself. So he hunted the wanted man. And killed him with his darkness. And developed a thirst for blood.
Current Activity: After coming in contact with his first couple contracts. He caught word of wear these contracts could be originating from. A group called the Dark Brotherhood. So now he heads south, in search of the fabled door.
