Lucas Loric
Bio
Lucas Loric is the resident Archmage that lords over Barford and a member of Duke Arthur Oakthorne's court, where he trains new conjurers and organizes reasearch and expeditions into the wilderness.
Before becoming the Archmage of The Vivid Vale, Lucas spent his younger years embarking on numerous expeditions to discover and document the various crytures in the wilds of the continent. His final expedition took him to the Burning Isles, off the southern coast, where he met Konane and Leilani from the local island tribes, and took them on as apprentice conjurers.
Lucas's most ambitious expedition, however, was the hunt for The Verdant King. He, along with Arthur Oakthorne and Kasper Starber spent weeks tracking down the mythic cryture, ultimately defeating it when Arthur managed to bind it.
Ambition
Lucas is driven by the desire to expand the knowledge of both himself, and of human society in general. He is more than willing to partner with other mages and researchers to pool their knowledge and resources. Lucas will gladly share any of his findings with fellow scholars.
Strengths
Archmage Loric is a skilled conjurer who wields a number of powerful crytures. The crytures listed are only his most commonly used team, and he has a larger collection that sees much less use. He may choose to attune other crytures instead, if he's entering a situation that calls for different types.
Lucas also benefits from a mature, level-headed personality, as well as decades of experience with dangerous situations. He is highly intelligent and knows much about the workings of magic, as well as crytures themselves.
Weaknesses
Lucas is overly trusting of other scholars. His openness with his own research may sometimes lead to unsavory people getting their hands on dangerous information or technology.
Despite being a powerful conjurer, Lucas is getting old and can't really hold his own in a fight without access to his crytures or magic weapons.
Astral Pocket
Lucas's astral pocket takes the form of a vast library, interwoven with natural biomes. A great spiral staircase rises through the center, which he uses to traverse the various biomes that are represented, with each one occupying a different "floor." There appear to be no ceilings, however, as the staircase follows no real laws of physics, only functioning as a dream metaphor for travel.
Each biome is specifically chosen to cater to the different groups of crytures that inhabit his astral pocket. This gives Lucas a way to "organize" his crytures in a way that he finds intuitive - by where he first discovered them.
