 LUCIEN NOX REVERSI
( the red-eyed reaper. )
NAME,
lucien nox reversi.
the fact that his surname is “reversi” tends to make people laugh. harhar, a strategy game; no, that ain’t cool, there’s more to it than that. his whole name is derived from latin, even though “lucien” which is french, roughly translating to ‘light night reverse’. it’s an old fashioned name but ironically fitted his image: a dead language for an apparition-like man, white hair & red eyes anyone?
NICKNAME,
luci, versi, nox.
despite not being spelled with ‘y’ “luci” is clearly the feminine form of his name used to annoying him, especially during elementary & high school. speaking of which, somehow his peers were too damn lazy to bother pronouncing his surname that they shortened it by two letters, which was just plain sad. and ‘nox’, well, it’s more of a professional name he calls himself, plus the easiest to say and not butcher up.
AGE,
twenty-one, february sixth.
GENDER & PREFERENCE,
male, homosexual.
to be fair, he has cross-dressed before, as a child mind you, and he looked adorable. of course, now that his features aren’t so androgynous he can’t be mistaken other than being a man. also, regardless of stereotypical notions lucien is a total flirt when it comes to women even if he has no interest in them whatsoever.
PROFESSION,
third year college student & part-time bartender at club escapade.
as a student he can’t mooch off his parents forever, right? while a part-timer doesn’t really make much money but it’s better than nothing, plus it beats having a campus job; no need to spend more time there than he already has to. plus the semi-monotonous pace at club escapade allows him free time to think ideas for projects that are coming up left and right before graduation.
PERSONALITY,
+ STRANGE, not only because of his looks but due to his mannerism, for example, skipping down hallways like a little girl. yes, it looks odd but rather fitting for his behaviour every now and then. he also has odd tendencies to make beatbox or animal sounds out of nowhere and it scares people, a secret hobby of his. one could say that the trait is a drawback due to childhood events or some type of defense mechanism thanks to insecurities though both hypotheses are wrong: he was simply born different, probably more so than most.
+ WITTY, especially with his snake-like tongue of his during verbal spats with group members. he was never big on academics, only striving for mediocre or passable marks, since he developed a habit of continuously refining his knowledge in certain areas (ie. technology, music, strategy, etc). furthermore, he was a troublemaker during high school and often threw around derogatory comments left & right at rivals before getting into fights or flipping teachers off. it was nothing short of a miracle that he graduated with the numerous detentions he received.
+ INNOVATIVE, being an art student and all that pizzazz. he likes to sketch random lines and derives various ideas from said abstract images like coloured smoke bombs, rigged time-bombs, or creating false leads to throw others off track. lucien likes to combine his passion with his destructive tendencies to attain some ‘higher’ form of art and surprise enemies with unexpected strategies. it also compliments his unnatural appearance and helps create and further maintain the illusion of “unpredictable”.
+ LAIDBACK, he hates being uptight. he believes in the golden rule, “treat others as you want to be treated” and knows that respect is earned, not given. even if his job seems insignificant to some of the alliance members he always establishes himself on equal footing with others and willing to fight his ground. he knows how to roll with the punches but the question is do others.
+ SOCIAL, ‘cuz he can be suave when he wants or needs to be. seriously, even though he was a troublemaker and oddball at gekkoukan he was rather ‘well-liked,’ so to speak, since he was approachable when not suffering a “fit of insanity” as some called it. he’s one of those people who make it his business to know the 411 around campus or the city, he’s almost a walking fountain of knowledge.
- CHILDISH, or sadistic, either characteristic is interchangeable when applied to the young man. as an individual simply brimming with bright ideas he needs a medium to test out his creativity, regardless of the damage it may cause on property or the target. he can also be stubborn when needed, especially when he gets ignored, and likes to irritate others with his bad habits (ie. making ‘moo’ sounds to disagree during votes).
- MESSY, not only when fighting opponents –blood splattering everywhere- but also in terms of personal hygiene. he is known to be a slob when it comes to clothes by just tugging articles from his drawers, passing out in work clothes, or forgetting to do groceries. oddly enough his apartment isn’t infested with strange creatures, with the exception of a small yellow bird, though there are papers scattered all over his table, books on his couch, pens in between clothes pockets, and etc. thankfully he rarely has guests over since cleaning such a ‘dump’ would be a big hassle.
- VIOLENT, especially when chopping tomatoes -- have you seen him dice the poor vegetable-fruit hybrids into pure oblivion? he just can’t get them cut properly. seriously, even though the young man has tried to distance himself from street fights it’s not an easy habit to erase. usually he doesn’t like to get his hands dirty but there are times when he has this mood to simply smash, smash things to oblivion arises and there’s no control over the need.
- SELF-MOTIVATED, translation: selfish. life is not fair so why should he? sure, being right and just gives one a certain satisfaction but you can only give so much without receiving anything in return. every decision he makes has some direct or indirect advantage to his person. of course, it’s not as if his actions are oriented for world domination, which in itself is a rather tough ambition. most of the benefits he gains are rather small, just a stepping stone for another move.
- ENIGMATIC, everyone has secrets, right? the young man has a lot personal information he has never told anyone, whether it be friends, co-workers, or strega members -- he just doesn’t trust them with such sensitive information. call him paranoid but he prefers to bury grievances in the past and let them rot. all of his answers pertaining to personal questions usually consist of half-truths, not that anyone knows this, and he makes sure that it stays that way.
LIKES & DISLIKES,
+ CELLPHONES, one cannot survive without these handheld devices, it’s a norm now. since his field of study is based on deadlines the young man must be open to talk to at any time and place so phones are a must. it’s also a good way to send updates to other strega members for revisions, cancellations, and whatnot.
+ BLOGS, behold the power of the internet. most of his posts are rather inane, sometimes random rumours, or daily rants but if you look closely enough they’re anything but. he tends hint at special ‘midnight events’ and speculation about the a hit-site somewhere in the web.
+ PAINTING, he has never been fond of using real people as his art bases but prefers nature, animals, buildings, and splashes of colour to show his message and creativity to the world. his main styles are abstract & fauvism since, as it will be mentioned later, he plain sucks at drawing.
+ SUDOKU, the most epic newspaper puzzle game in the world. it challenges his mind to think about various situations: the horizontal & vertical rows, the overall box, the neighbouring boxes, and the likes. there’s also kakuro but it’s a bit too hardcore for his tastes.
+ CHOCOLATE, the heavenly treat originally from the mayan civilization. lucien never goes out of his apartment without a bar on his person, or buys one along the way to school, and drinks hot chocolate every day. he’s a fanatic for nestle brands, specifically kit-kat bars.
- TABLETS, which are a total b*tch to handle. typing on a laptop is hard enough for him but tablets take it to another level. he has enough trouble trying to navigate touch-screen phones, now an all-touch screen computer? no thanks. plus, they don’t the heavy duty capabilities he wants in his gadgets, so it’s a waste of money to him.
- L33T SPEAK, he’s almost-near illiterate when it comes to emoticons or short-hand forms. honestly, is it’s too much trouble to spell ‘k’ as “’kay”? plus it’s aesthetically more pleasing, in his opinion. another factor in his aversion to chat speak: seeing teens post ‘i luv you’ or whatever fifty-million times to one another where everyone can see; ever heard of sms?
- SKETCHING, lucien simply doesn’t like traditional art -- it's pretty much his archnemesis. he can draw, stick people and rough sketches, but it takes nearly forever to complete so he always has to start super early and these days he can’t really afford to waste too much time on one project.
- CROSSWORDS, five times worse than sudoku. he has a decent vocabulary pool, plus there’s always the dictionary, but the words he thinks of are either three letters too long or too short. furthermore, they also test ‘recent’ knowledge like actors, musicians, etc which he’s not really up-to-date with.
- LICORICE, just plain disgusting, ‘nuff said. whatever flavour or type it’s comparable to a pile of dung on his tongue. he once brought over a bag to headquarters to get rid of the offensive treat and it took some time to disappear.
ALLIANCE,
strega, spy/informant.
he positively hates the word ‘spy’ so he pretty much snaps at anyone who calls his job that word; he prefers the term ‘informant’ since it’s less conspicuous and more inclusive regarding his various activities: the occasional hitman, main site admin, directing & organizing hits.
WEAPON & TACTICS,
firearms, on-the-fly strategist.
his main specialty are guns, what type doesn’t really matter so long it’s a gun but he is partial to the CZ-75 based on its appearance, durability, and prestige of being the ‘default’ gun of most military personnel. how he was able to nab this, and other models, is a total mystery. he also has a switchblade on his person for emergencies.
due to him being an occasional fighter there’s no point in having a set strategy to allow predictability. most of the time he’s pseudo-backup for missions or stationed behind a computer digging around for info via databases and hacking.
PERSONA,
satan, judgment (xx) -- awakened.
ADDITIONAL NOTES,
× he’s a foreigner, no doubt with the name and appearance. to be specific, his heritage is a mix of german & french even if his name is latin based. his albino-like traits are due to genetics, somehow way back in his ancestry, it was just pure chance that he got it.
× at the age of ten he and his family relocated to japan for his father’s job, a five year contract. before it ended he managed to persuade his parents to allow him to continue at gekkoukan even without them. after graduating he went back home to begin college and applied as an exchange student at iwatodai for second year.
× unlike his other ‘teammates’ he has no real interest in bringing about the “world’s end” since it was bound to happen, albeit way later than planned. to lucien being part of strega is simply like another job, or hobby, only more dangerous to one’s health.
OOC NAME,
des, nowaki.

 SATAN
( judgment )
NAME,
satan.
also known as ‘ha-satan’ in some texts; it originates from hebrew translated as “the opposer” or adversary of god.
ELEMENT,
light & dark.
AWAKENING,
eleven.
staying out at night, especially in a new country, is a general no-no, but in his defense the day progressed from bad to worse. as he roamed around the town aimlessly after school, he lost track of time and made it to his neighbourhood as the clock had struck midnight and the world shifted. shadows began to look menacing, there was blood everywhere and in hysterical panic he ran. just before he could reach his door his ankle was grabbed and he fell face first to the ground. as he was dragged by the creature his mind kept on chanting, “go away, go away – i don’t wanna die!” the sound of shattering glass sounded in his ears, inhumane howling followed, and he chanced to look behind and saw a creature in darkness with a fanged grin before it faded and he passed out.
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES,
due to a bulky stature satan possess mediocre strength & endurance at the price of agility, his user must compensate for this fault. on the other hand, magic is his strongest point with an above-average luck for better hit rates (ironic that a ‘fallen’ being could be called lucky).
his inherited affinities are light & dark, predominantly darkness since he reflects all attacks with said element. fire is another element that he dominants, reflecting it at foes in maniac glee. all physical attacks are fair game against him. satan’s one and only weakness is wind-based attacks.
SKILL SET,
× MARAGIDYNE, heavy fire damage races down to all enemies with a snap of satan’s fingers. sometimes the flames come in red-orange, blue, black, and white -- there's no change in intensity, simply colours.
× BLACK VIPER, a massive almighty attack directed at one target. the enemy is cased in a black light for a few seconds before dispersing and releasing the body.
× REGENERATE 3, light surface wounds such as scratches and bruises are immediately healed; extensive damage that require stitching, for example, are slowly closed in a few hours (3+ posts depending on wound) leaving only faint scars.
× NULL WIND, wind-based spells are avoided by satan and his user at random alternating patterns.
APPEARANCE,
official smt (ii) artwork.
INFORMATION,
lucifer (sometimes helel) and satan are rather synonymous in certain religions as the enemy of the almighty, however, there is a slight difference in the times each name appeared. lucifer was his name as an angel and at the time of his fall; when he completely descended into earth, ultimately hell, he became known as satan. it is in this form that he snuck into the garden of eden to tempt adam & eve to sin.
