"Matrix" RP Character Sheet: Lucien
I've been talking with Puck and Laurie about us running an AU "Matrix" RPG someday soon. Laurie asked if I'd be interested in playing the Merovingian... I'm utterly flattered and a leetle daunted by the prospect, but I'm looking forward to this, whenever it starts.
Puck posted, on her LJ, a character sheet for an OC she might be playing once we start the game, so in that spirit, I'm posting one of my own:
NAME: Lucien, also known as Lucien Noir
TEMPLATE: A corrupted database manager, now serving as the Merovingian's private secretary/male lover/personal dart-board.
SPECIES: Program (Exile)
AGE: Comes from perhaps the fourth or fifth Matrix, but looks like he might be in his early 20s.
GENDER: Male by appearances
HEIGHT: 5 feet, 3 inches tall
WEIGHT: about 140 pounds (he's a victim of causality ;8^) )
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Dark brown hair, medium brown eyes. His facial features suggest he might be of French or Italian ancestry, but his skin has a light golden tinge to it. His figure can best be described as "gracefully rounded"
BACKGROUND: Lucien was created during the fourth or fifth version of the Matrix, where he served as a database manager, keeping track of the real world nutrient supply and comparing its statistics with the number of humans in the power plants and compiling data on their daily requirements... Or at least he served this purpose until he became curious about the human need for nourishment as well as the pleasure of eating, and so he started to explore the realm of gastronomic delights within the virtual realm... which lead to his being called back to the Source for deletion, since it appeared his code had become corrupted. Or he would have gone back if he hadn't decided to partake of his last meal at a posh restaurant known as Le Vrai, where he came to the attention of the owner of the establishment...
The Merovingian had heard about Lucien and his plight, and thus offered the soon-to-be-deleted program refuge in his realm for a price: namely serving him in whatever capacity the Merovingian required. Lucien, wanting to keep himself existing, agreed to this. Since then, Lucien has become the palace pampered nuisance of the Chateau and a favored butt for insults and teasing. Persephone cannot stand him, but there is little she can do to have him sent away since her husband values the little fatty too highly.
PERSONALITY: Vain and somewhat effeminate. He thinks too highly of himself, especially since the Merovingian saved his existence, though that means he has to serve the King of the Exiles as secretary, valet, manservant, bed-warmer, personal dart-board, and court jester of sorts. He's fairly efficient at what he does (the secretary part, that is), and yet he's quick to take offense at any slight, imagined or otherwise. And if he thinks he has a rival for his master's attentions, he *will* confront that individual and give them an earful of insults!
OBJECTIVES: Basically staying alive and staying under the Merovingian's protection, though by his antics, he certainly seems to challenge the latter...
A QUOTE: "Giselle caught on and grinned. 'So he won't get lonesome?'
" 'Partly, and partly to keep him a little sore. The stationmen hate it, but that's part of the idea. It gives them something to talk back to and throw things at.' "
--Walter Miller, "The Lineman"
SPECIAL QUIRKS, ETC: Of course Lucien's most obvious quirk is his sweet tooth: he's always hiding boxes and bags of sweets where he can easily retrieve them: in desk drawers, under the bed, behind things, etc. Also speaks with a mild French accent, but something about his voice sounds vaguely American.
