send me a crystal and i’ll tell… ulexite: how empathetic / sympathetic / compassionate my muse is.
these are all three different from one another, so let’s do this. lucian is, in fact, an empath ; he has the psychic ability to understand completely & wholly another person’s ( or pokemon’s ) emotional state, though he may not know what caused it. he senses the emotions in layers, similar to a gradient, in the form of an aura. as a child, he cried often due to the ability & overload that came with it & found that many times he couldn’t pick a side in argument due to the deep confliction he felt empathizing so strongly with both ends of a situation.
at this point in his life, lucian has become desensitized to many strong emotions people feel on a regular basis. he can help this, though, & what it takes is conscious perspective on his end, giving him a great capacity for sympathy.
lucian has an amazing capacity for compassion & it can be seen regularly through mannerisms such as his gentle interaction with people and pokemon, and how he will do his best not to provoke a situation under any means – he knows too well all flavors of emotional distress. he keeps himself calm in order to gain the best readings of his surroundings– & he subconsciously does so, for he knows from experience, a calm person has a relaxing affect on an entire atmosphere.
tsavorite: if my muse believes in destiny or fate.
with a love for logic and knowledge & even order, lucian does not believe in destiny or fate. he does, however, believe in the potential of people - that do they choose to follow certain paths, they will reach a certain point. however romantic or symbolic fate may seem, he doesn’t believe that it exists with the ever-changing state of everything – the chances simply don’t warrant it. ( not that he’s ever truly closed to discussion on such topics. )
