- Appearance -

^{artist: YEONIE}
Being 190 centimetres tall, Lucius is accostumed to towering over most people. This sense of height is caused not only by his physical tallness, but also his posture. He exudes an aura of confidence and playfulness, striding with pride anywhere he goes. However, while his steps are confident, they are also weary. From time to time, he wobbles, trying his best to hide it.

He likes to wear extravagant clothing. It looks impractical to adventure in, but Lucius refuses to wear anything else than what he considers the very best. He often changes his style and colours, but that same basic principle always applies. When it comes to his hairstyle, it varies, but it does seem like he prefers having longer hair without much styling. 

He always has a smile on his face, tilting his head slightly when listening to other people. Unlike his clothing, his facial features do not stand out very much. His face is smooth, but not too attractive. His nose is small and his eyes squinty, forming a strange contrast with his big smile.    

- Personality -
It would be wrong to say that Luca and Lucius are different kinds of people. However, it is true that the way Luca acted in real life differs greatly from his demeanour as Lucius. While timid and silent in real life, Gaia Online allowed him to open up, become a showman and to wear his heart on his sleeve. He marvels at the beauty of the world he's exploring, always seeking new places to be at.

Despite being whimsical, he is often quite analytical. He enjoys observing social situations, mainly because he's unable to join in on the conversation as a normal person would. While he views this as something good, thinking himself to have a deeper personality, the truth is that he is just throwing logs under his own feet. He refuses to acknowledge that he would be more accepted if only he were more accepting of others.

His stubbornness gets the better of him in other aspects, too. If he gets into an argument, he refuses to acknowledge the opposite point of view as valid. Despite this, he does not attempt to start fights, preferring to approach people with his unique kind of friendliness, that either pushes them away or pulls them in. He prefers not to show his negative emotions, but those closer to him will notice that there is more hiding beneath his many smiles.

- Biography -
Luca was always the silent type. He wasn't shy or anxious. It was simply caused by his lack of experience. He was always locked inside, and thus never socialized with anyone. That is because he suffered from a particarly nasty case of muscular dystrophy - his skeletal muscles were always weak, and they kept getting weaker as he grew older. He always had to be careful, whatever he did. When he was younger, he was forbidden from playing with other kids, just so nothing would happen to him. Eventually, he lost the ability to walk entirely. He envied other people - not for their ability to walk, but for the relationships simple walking allowed them to have. He was never able to form any meaningful friendships. Not until he discovered Gaia Online.

The MMORPG was the most liberating experience he ever had, and it changed him completely. In this game, he could finally walk. He could see the beautifully designed world. In this world, many others were just like him - people unable to survive in society, people who missed their chances at making friends and finding love. Donning the moniker of Lucius Arthur Mortimer, he decided to seek out the beauty in the world of Gaia Online, and to help others find it, too.

Auto-Attack

A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. Auto-attack will do a constant chain of attacks so that the total DPS is roughly the same as dealing minor damage once a second. For example, a heavy weapon will do slower but stronger attacks, while a player wielding two daggers will do faster, less damaging attacks.

Any skills or movements that the user may manually perform will take priority over this skill, but the system will generally try to aim for an accurate hit.

It was a staple among players in the original Gaia Reborn game, but since the Apocalypse, its use has taken a drastic drop. Manual basic attacks allow for much more fluid and precise control of attacks, and as such, the skill has barely been used by Adventurers since then. It does, however, allow for people who are not proficient with their weapon of choice to be able to reliably hit their target.


Passively, the player can also delay their next attack to increase the basic attack’s power by performing what’s known as an “empowered attack”. Each second used to charge an attack increases the damage dealt by 20%, up to a maximum of 100% at 5 seconds.

Toggle, No cooldown. No cost.

Roads to Romalia
A skill that can be found prominently on the player’s interface. Roads to Romalia allows a player to teleport back to Romalia from any city or town with a cathedral. Activating it causes the user to channel for five seconds, restricting them from doing anything until this cast time is done. If they choose to make any other action or are hit by an attack, Roads to Romalia is interrupted and put on a 1 minute cooldown. Because teleporting in this way to one’s home city essentially breaks them down into raw energy, it is extremely taxing to players after the Apocalypse, and repeated use in a short span can inflict mental and physical strains.

5s cast time, No cooldown. No cost.

Interface Control

Even after the Apocalypse, players have kept the ability to use their interfaces. When mentally called upon, the interface hovers slightly in front of them, visible only to themselves and is slightly transparent. It can be interacted with by touch of the fingertips or mentally. The interface allows players to access their party list, friend list, guild settings, crafting list and many other menus. Friend invites can only be sent in a face-to-face meeting, and the same goes for party invites. However, a friend can be added to a party regardless of where they are. Additionally, an Adventurer can talk to friends or party members through telepathy, by pressing one finger to their ear after dialing them. This causes words said to be spoken into their mind rather than out loud.

Passive.

Summoning

The Summoner has the special ability to summon familiars. However, keeping the familiar summoned is a drain on the Summoner’s mental fortitude at all times; therefore, until they get stronger, the Summoner is restricted to 2 summon points that they can use. Once they unlock a rank 2 Summon spell, they have access to 3 summon points, and once any rank 3 spell has been purchased, they gain access to 4 summon points. If any familiar dies while summoned, it will go on a 30-minute cooldown to revive, and thus cannot be re-summoned until this time expired. If a familiar is de-summoned it does not go on cooldown, and will gradually heal while de-summoned. The Summoner can’t have more than one of the same familiar summoned.

Passive skill.

Aether Arms

The Summoner targets one of their currently summoned familiars, transforming them into a magical weapon for use by either the Summoner or their allies. If Aether Arms is used on a familiar currently under its effects, this will turn them back into a familiar. While the familiars are transformed, mana is drained at 1/3rd the usual rate; however, Summoning Points remain in use. The Summoner can choose out of three different weapons, although they share the same attributes. Information regarding Aether Arms is located in the skill description of each summon. Multiple familiars can be under the effects of Aether Arms at the same time. These weapons use their respective proficiency, but for the summoner they use the Magic proficiency if it is higher.

0.5s cast time, no cooldown. No mana cost.

Summon: Spikehound

Personality: Loyal, eager, ferocious.

Abilities: Volley: Every minute, the Spikehound can increase their attack speed by an above-average amount for 10s, unleashing a rapid volley of boney spikes towards their master’s target.

Barrage: The Spikehound fires a barrage of several spikes skywards, which land in a 1m diameter within 20 meters after 3s. This deals average damage upon impact, and the bones last for 20s to inflict a low Movement Down to enemies trying to cross them.

Chilling Howl: The Spikehound’s intense loyalty causes them to be incredibly protective of their master. When enemies close in on their master, they will sound a loud, bone-chilling howl that Interrupts enemies within 5m and Silences them for 3s to protect their master.

Attributes: Strength - 5. Endurance - 4. Agility - 7. Intelligence - 6.

Description: Spikehounds are tall and large thickly furred canines with a loyal, friendly disposition. Their head hangs low between their shoulders and their paws have sharp claws. The most striking feature are the bony spikes that protrude from their spines and shoulders, aimed forwards. When shot through muscle contraction, these will fire up to 15 meters far and rapidly regrow in a matter of seconds, allowing it to be used as a weapon. Their fur patterning and color can be anything.

Aether Arms: Shortbow, Crossbow, Hatchet. These simple tribal weapons fashioned with teeth, claws and bone give wielders a minor Critical Hit Up.

3s cast time. 2 Summon Points. Average mana drain.

- Rank II -

Portal: Rainbow Serpent

The Summoner creates two diamond-shaped portals high in the sky. From the first portal a Rainbow Serpent will exit, flying through the sky in an arc to leave the impression of a rainbow before disappearing down the second. As it flies past, a warm rain will pour down around all of the Summoner’s party members and familiars, applying a Regenerate for 10s that heals a below-average amount of Health. The amount of Health healed is tripled for their familiars.

2s cast time, 3 min cooldown. Average mana cost

Mind Over Matter

Though the Zaria are a race of powerful arcane ability, the strength of their bodies is inferior to that of their minds, sacrificing physical strength for mental aptitude. The Zaria have halved Health regeneration in favor of doubled Mana regeneration.

Loose Ends

Passively, the Courtesan is able to pick up on any Lander’s mannerisms, subtleties and hints. When talking to Landers, they are also able to acquire much more information and keep up positive relationships easier.

Passive skill.

Needlework

Due to the dexterity from which they perform their tasks, Tailors are able to make up for any compromises in their ability. They recover from Accuracy and Evasion Down debuffs twice as fast.

Passive skill.
