〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Luci
CHARACTER AGE: OLD AS BALLS
SERIES: DISENCHANTMENT
CHRONOLOGY: End of Season 1
CLASS: he sure ain’t a hero
HOUSING: DOESN’T MATTER
BACKGROUND:
Wikipedias have failed me for this show so whatever.
EXPOUNDED: IMAGINE A MEDIEVAL WORLD, BUT FROM THE MIND OF MATT GROENING. That’s it, that’s the setting.
Okay no that’s not it; the world has various kingdoms like Dreamland, Dankmire, Maru, Elfwood (and more!), there’s also fantasy concepts (naturally) like elves, fairies, giants, and all creatures in between. Including: demons! Like Luci specifically. He’s a “personal” demon, as he refers to himself when introducing himself to Bean, but that’s probably more a him thing than a specific thing. There’s apparently hundreds if not thousands of demons around the world, to the point there are special exorcists who get rid of them- at any cost.
Luci’s role in this world is specifically to encourage Princess Bean’s bad behaviors, on the behalf of the Emperor & Empress of Maru, although it’s not made clear if he is aware of who sent him after Bean. Technically, by encouraging Bean to “not think too hard about” who she should revive (Elfo vs her mother), he is in a sense responsible for the revival of Queen Dagmar at the end of Season 1.
He doesn’t have many deep connections, other than to Bean and Elfo. To Elfo, who is essentially the “positive” influence on Bean’s life, he is antagonistic. However, through the progression of the series he begins to care more about Elfo as a person than just a “goodie-two-shoes.” Luci’s relationship with Bean is much less antagonistic as he is specifically trying to make himself her ‘friend’ in a sense in order for her to rely on his encouragement more.
PERSONALITY:
“I want to take all the diseases that are plaguing mankind… and replace them with worse ones.”
So overall, Luci’s a piece of shit. But what does someone expect, from a demon? He can’t exactly be a good guy. Except for the times he is.
His job and ambitions solely revolve around being destructive and an asshole. He smokes, and blows the smoke in people’s faces. He drinks, and pours extra shots of alcohol in other people’s drinks when they aren’t looking. He’s there to cause a ruckus, but not personally. He’d rather encourage others to start a fight with that guy across the bar, or whisper some gossip he heard about how your boyfriend is cheating on you with your best friend. The more terrible behavior he can encourage, the better, and worst of all: he’ll make it seem and feel like you’ve been doing the right thing the whole time. Of course you should drink until sunrise- drinking feels great! Definitely tell your boss you think he’s an idiot- he should know how you feel!
He throws lies around, sure, but more often he’s seen telling the truth, because the truth can hurt a lot worse. When Elfo claims to have a girlfriend the group has never met, Luci immediately tries to call him out on it, in order to get him to confront his feelings on how he likes Bean (to, preferably, be rejected by Bean in maybe a very devastating way).
Despite his goals of ruining lives, for Bean specifically, he can be somewhat protective. When an exorcist comes to Bean’s door while she’s sleeping, Luci “possesses” Bean in order to get him to go away- but it seems Big Joe (yeah, that’s his name) doesn’t care if Bean dies in the process of the exorcism, and sets her bed on fire. Luci complains about needing to ‘be the hero’ for once, but leaps out of Bean and puts out the fires, at the risk of his own safety due to being in the presence of an exorcist. He could have left behind Bean and made a break for it, but even if he never says it, he does care about her. Maybe even considers her a friend as much as he does a tool.
POWER:
1. DEMON - Basically, his demon form. Comes with:
• Being flammable/immune to flames. He can start flames via his own skin, and breath fire. Not a lot of fire though, he’s like, a foot tall. Maybe two feet.
• Sometimes he coughs up tiny bats. That’s more a detriment than a feature though.
• Shadow magic. He’s able to interact with other people’s shadows (does not affect the real person, but the shadow can act differently than the person it belongs to through his interaction), and able to manipulate his own shadow to change shape/sizes. He can also “become” a shadow, laying himself flat against a wall, to avoid being hit by something.
2. I WRITE SINS AND TRAGEDIES - Opt-in/permission post
• Luci can peer into someone’s soul and know the ‘sins’ they’ve commit.
〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
[Hey look, it’s a small black cat? On two legs? …Smoking?]
So. This is the future.
[What a deep voice from the cat!! He sucks in a deep puff from the cigarette, and exhales a cloud the size of himself while leaning up against a parked car.]
Really digging how you’ve made old viruses even stronger over time. And all the extra chemicals you’ve added to these?
[He holds out his cigarette again, wiggling it back and forth.]
Choice work, guys. You humans are so good at self-destruction, it’s almost like I don’t need to be around! But now I’m here anyway, so. Let’s get this party started!
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
There’s only so much one can take in on their first day here when in such a new environment! So many new things to learn about! And eventually fuck up. Luci takes the last draw of his smoke, and tosses the cigarette on the ground behind him… unfortunately, into a puddle of shiny liquid that we all know as a gasoline leak from a nearby car. It quickly catches flame as he begins to walk away, and only once he hears the gasp of humans (a sound he’s very easily attuned to), he turns to look to the car that has caught flame.
“Oh. Uh.”
Okay, so not only have these ‘cars’ replaced horses, but they’re way more easily set on fire than horses, if the fact said vehicle is now deeply engulfed in flames and it’s only been a minute. People have begun panicking and making rapid phone calls on their “phones” as well while running away. Totally not his intent but this is greatly educational already, and it’s only been a few minutes!
“...Nice.”
With a self-satisfied pat on the shoulder, he crawls up on top of another car nearby and watches the car burn to see what happens next. How does the future deal with random fires? Time to find out!
