Basics

Name: Lucius Vaet The only time I get called Luke is when I'm in trouble. My friends call me Lucius, coworkers hang onto me by the hind name, and a particular thorn in my side calls me "m'lord'' for no apparent reason at all.

Are you single?

On and off. Currently off. Work keeps me busy and there have been some recent complications.

Birthplace?

You wouldn't know it but a pretty little world called Thayrous.

Hair color?

Are you asking if I want to color my hair? I mean I have in the past for a variety of reasons. I'm pretty certain it's natural state is blonde but maybe not.

Eye color?

Why do these sound like offers. No thanks, I'll keep my blue.

Birthday?

Again with the offering. Do you mean to ask when I was born? That's not going to mean anything to you. I was born on Thayrous in a little hamlet outside the lords holding. Primary export is cheeses. It's agricultural area in nature. If you're asking how old I am, I'm 65. Finally feel like I've grown into my skin.

Gender?

You can't tell? <sigh> Male

Mood?

Like default setting? I've been told I'm either curious, frustrated, or focused.

Are you happy?

Like right now? In the moment? I think content's a better descriptor.

Are you angry? As in can I get angry? Yeah I can get angry. Lawbreakers and the damage they do pisses me off. People thinking they can go around and shatter lives, thinking others don't have any worth. . .makes me see red.

Summer/Winter?

As in which season do I prefer? Summer if I'm home. Suns it's been a bit since I was home.

Morning/Afternoon? As when am I most productive? Afternoon. Mornings require. . .ah maintainance.

■ Eight things about your love life

Are you in love?

I might be in like. I don't know. There's this tomb diver. Drives me crazy but there's something about her.

Who ended your last relationship?

She did. Don't blame Lan, she was right, bad idea to date at work. I was in the middle of some personal things and didn't give her the time she needed.

Have you ever broken someone's heart?

Yeah, unfortunately.

Are you afraid of commitments?

No. They're hard work, but if the other person's worth it.

Have you hugged someone within the last week?

I've hugged walls, hugged shadows, and hugged corners on my bike.

Have you ever had a secret admirer?

Like a stalker? Does a tomb diver count?

■ Six choices

Love or lust?

Love please. I see what lust does to others. Lust for power, lust for posessions, lust to possess another.

Iced tea or lemonade?

Kaffte. I've been told it's like your coffee.

Cats or dogs?

What are they? Are they like pets? Mounts? If you're asking what kind of animal companion I'd have, it's definitely a draken. Or maybe a wold. They breathe fire tho.

A few best friends or many regular friends?

Ah, I have like maybe two really good friends and one's kinda attach to me.

Wild night out or romantic night in?

Can I have a peaceful night in? I have enough wild nights out, and honestly I think a cozy night in with . . someone would be fantastic. If we fall asleep and nap that would be perfect.

Day or night?

Night. Don't mind the day, but night.

■ Four have you evers

Been caught sneaking out?

Yep. Lots of times. One time I was naked. Had to run behind buildings and stepped on a rusty piece of metal. Do not recommend.

Fell up/down the stairs?

Been thrown down stairs. And up, come to think of it.

Wanted something/someone so badly it hurt?

Yeah, the truth.

Wanted to disappear?

Oh yeah. Burned through a lot of favors to do so once.

■ Four preferences

Smile or eyes?

Both.

Shorter or taller?

Either

Intelligence or looks?

Intelligence. And wings. wait, what?

Hookup or relationship?

Relationship, definitely.

■ Family

Do you and your family get along?

Oh yeah. My sisters outrank me and can be a pain when it comes to the mother-henning. Mom's been away a lot, Dad's the family rock. I miss them. Wish I could go home. Can't right now.

Would you say you have a "messed up" life?

I would say my life has been messed up for me. Am currently working on getting it back in shape.

Have you ever run away from home?

No. Never wanted to.

Have you ever gotten kicked out?

Absolutely.

■ Friends

Do you secretly hate one of your friends?

Secretly? No. Former friend that betrayed me? Yes.

Do you considered all your friends good?

The three I have I'd trust with my life. And have done.

Who is your best friend?

That'd be Corwyne. Followed secondly by the one physically connected to me.

Who knows everything about you?

Uh, that would be ARM. He's connected to me. He's hot wired into my head. Wish he'd pick a different name, but maybe one day he will. Also wish that he'd stop streaming classic reels while I sleep. I dream the damn things.
