Lucid’s title is the “Angel of Dreams & Illusions”

Both the Morningstar and the Eveningstar are represented by the planet Venus in the sky. It is the first “star” to be seen in the evening sky and the last one seen in the morning sky.

He is a seraphim but not an archangel. The closest status he lands in is “guardian angel.”

His duties are to create dreams and illusions to “uplift and comfort the souls of others, both human and Winners.”

While Heaven is “perfect”, grief still exists. An angel discovering a loved one is either in Hell or Purgatory can be devastating and at risk of falling themselves. Lucid’s dreamsphere’s are an element provided through counseling and therapy to help try and prevent this from happening.

Lucid is not allowed to meet the Winner’s nor any other angels outside the archangel’s and high council. This is due to the fact he is crafted in the image of Lucifer and this secret could be detrimental if realized by others.

Created between 5,000-6,000 years ago, it was during a heavy period of grief for God (if you’ve seen the art of Big G it shows He has a darker side referred to as Void G). Creating a new angel in the image and power of his favorite angel Lucifer (Samael), it gave Him a brief period of joy and peace before slipping away and vanishing all together.

Lucid was created as a baby (a cherub really) to have the opportunity to grow up “nurtured, loved, and guided” into his rolls rather than be assigned right from the start. It is also thought that if any elements like Samael/Lucifer began to show through it could be stopped or curbed early in his development to avoid a potential disaster like his predecessor.

He was mainly raised by the archangels and select members of the high council, kept in secret within a citadel used for housing the Archangels.

Gods instructions to Sera included looking after Lil Lucid and guiding him towards the purpose he is meant to have. But unfortunately was rather vague on exactly how. It’s believed He figured since Sera loves and protects her sister Emily as a mother like figure that she would be an excellent guardian for the new angel as well.

Unfortunately with Sera’s desire to protect Heaven and her loved ones, this lack of instruction and uncertainty lead to Lucid being raised in secret and forbidden from many things, including creating life (plants & animals), interacting with the Winners, leaving Heaven (unless accompanied by one of the brothers), and a high limit on what he can manifest.

As Lucid grew and began his training, at major stepping stones he unlocked one of his seraphim wings. The last set was earned when he was given his title as The Angel of Dreams & Illusions

In the Dream Plane, Lucid can create and do anything and everything he ever wanted. It is here where in “safety” he can let his imagination fly and not be spied on as heavily by his superiors.

Lucid creates Dreamsphere’s that look like galaxies or worlds even, the glass like orbs lighter than a feather and fitting in the palm of one’s hand. Each dream is crafted differently and when orders come in for more specifics he creates them to fit them.

Each dreamsphere has the ability to adjust and fit the needs of its new owner, sinking with their emotions, memories and thoughts to craft the perfect lucid dream needed to uplift and comfort them.

Like Lucifer, Lucid could be a formidable opponent, if he had been trained to be as such. He has the same power and abilities of the former archangel angel, but the high council believed he may become exactly like the fallen angel. Thus they “instilled the fear of God” (or Heaven rather) into the seraph at an early age, reminding him that he is made in Lucifer’s image and that he will forever be at risk of falling. That he must never make the same mistakes as his predecessor.

Lucid is a heavily passive angel, choosing flight over fight and typically submitting to the higher ranking ones. However this fear has also lead to the angel to keep secrets and avoid telling full truths in certain situations.

He is used to having many of his questions and ideas dismissed or ignored. Due to this Lucid has become self-sufficient in seeking answers on his own. Usually in the massive library and archives. But after 5000 years of reading he has changed his sights on valuing in-person experiences

A family of five, seated off to the side in the restaurant, had just finished eating and paid for their food. The father was wearing clothes fitting of a man of samurai stature. An imposing man, for sure, lecturing his middle son on how to properly manage a household. The mother, a delicate looking woman, was busy fussing over the eldest son’s achievements. The third, however... 

The youngest son stood off to the side, just barely remaining in the area the family had been seated in, as he was preparing to leave. He looked largely over his family’s shenanigans and seemed to find them mildly exhausting. The most notable detail about him, however, was the atrocious kimono he wore.

The colors clashed, the pattern was extravagant but... not in a good way. It was like something a wealthy grandmother would pick out for a grandchild as an obligatory gift, but only if the wealthy grandmother was both trying too hard to prove her wealth and had left her glasses (and fashion sense) at home. Suffice to say, the kimono was horrendous. 

Just as he moved closer to the edge of the seating area, a group of middle-aged men called out for their food. Judging from their attire and mannerisms, they were low-ranking samurai.

“Oi! Lady! What’a ya doing with our food, huh? Nappin’ in it? Hurry it up! Ya got hungry men over ‘ere!”
