Personality-
Lucius is deeply narcissicistic in his thinking, and so he tends to put himself above others. His sense of self worth mostly comes from the fact that he was raised to believe he was born better than most people. That he was born to a new species that is simply better than the rest. He is from an old money aristocratic family, that has a tradition of breeding specials. It is a matter of family pride that all be born as specials, and especially as potentially high powered specials. Lucius considers himself such, despite the fact that other specials exist that surpass him in terms of power or that can simply counter his own gifts.
He is concerned primarily with the acquisition of wealth and power, and will stop at nothing to gain these things. He is ruthless and generally hard hearted when dealing with people. He cares little for what other people feel, and only considers those feelings when it suits him. Lucius is essentially a megalomaniac. He has a love of being in control and of being considered important. He will often demand respect from those around him, and will not take kindly to those who refuse to show some deference to his whims.
Lucius is a talented geneticist, and his feelings of intellectual superiority feed into his overall egotism. His professional interest lies in understanding the underlying genetics of the special, and how to predict when a potential special might be born. Beyond that, he also is interested in discovering profitable ways to treat genetic diseases and various cancers, always concerned about the potential to sate his greed. On a personal level, he desires very much to find a way to correct his own genetic disease- that being hemophilia.
Lucius has a terrible temper when someone offends him in any way. He holds grudges and it stews away in his mind when he percieves that he has been wronged. He tends to spend a good deal of energy on exacting vengeance for offenses against him. His brand of justice will likely come at a fatal price to the one who incited his wrath. In these moments, he revels in sadistic glee as he inflicts pain and suffering upon his enemies.
When he is in a fair mood, he can be a proper playboy socialite, and has little trouble maintaining an erudite manner and friendly disposition. Most of the time he seems bored by the many social functions he has to attend to as a member of his family, but he manages to maintain the semblance of interest in formal occasions. He can be roused from this state of bored disinterest by the presence of a woman that strikes him as beautiful, and he will devote much of his efforts toward getting her interested in him. He is essentially driven by his passions; lust, greed, pride, and wrath are in his nature, and he embraces this without shame.
He is highly competitive and thinks of himself as an alpha male. He cannot, generally speaking, abide the presence of someone who might challenge his dominance. He can be aggressive in these situations, even when it is best to put aside the petty conflict and coexist. He cannot stand being bested in anything, and sees most things in life as being a competition. There are winners and losers, and he is determined to be a winner.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Electrokinesis: He can generate lightning bolts and ball lightning. He can also fly through the air, propelled by means of electric current in the air.
Details-
General details: To utilize his electrokinetic abilities Lucius has to tap into a source of the electricity and draw it into himself, to store it like a battery. He can store a maximum of 30 megawatts .
Flight: He can fly at a maximum height of 1 mile above the ground, and at a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour. The air around him is ionized to a low level, so as to effectively be as harmless as simple static electricity. This ionization allows him to fly, and it is his method of propulsion. Lucius ionizes the air around him, giving him some control over those molecules, by means of his electrokinesis ability. He can take advantage of this control of the air around him to create a propulsion and lift effect. It's a sort of limited aerokinesis, in the sense he cannot do anything other than lift himself off the ground and propel himself through the air at the constraints previously and elsewhere mentioned.
Lightning Bolt: Arcs of electricity emanate from his fingertips, becoming lethal bolts of lightning that he can shoot at his enemies. Any insulator material, such as rubber, can act as a shield or armor against this attack. This can reach up to a maximum of 100 feet. The lightning arcs at a maximum of 30 seconds per individual use. This sends 240 amps of current through his victim's body, delivering 12 volts.
Ball Lightning: He forms a condensed ball of electrical energy, that he can throw at a target like a grenade. When it hits the general area of the target it explodes into a burst of electricity that lasts for about 6 seconds, and covers a 20 foot radius. Anyone in the radius is affected by the electricity and takes damage accordingly. He can toss one at a maximum range of 30 feet. These are half the strength of a concentrated lightning bolt attack.
Limits-
An EMP temporarily strips him of his powers, as well as exposure to water. An EMP basically shuts him down as if he were an electrical device. Being doused with or submerged in water shorts him out, leaving him powerless as long as he remains wet/submerged. After 12 hours of continuous usage, he needs to recharge his offensive abilities by accessing some sort of power generator or other source of electricity. Any material that would insulate against electric charge acts as effective armor or restraint against his powers.
Anyone who can generate or manipulate water in some fashion, can use their ability to strip Lucius of his power by dousing him, be it with water taken from a ground source, their own exotic nature, or rain from the clouds. If they do this while he is in flight, he falls to the ground, and suffers the consequences of a fall from the relevant height.
He cannot produce electrical discharge without absorbing the energy from an outside source. He cannot absorb any more than 30 megawatts at a time, and this, again only lasts him for 12 hours of continuous use before he needs to recharge.
Appearance-
Lucius is 5'10" and his body is toned and fit. His eyes are a grey-blue color, dull and having a certain stone-like quality. his hair is a dark brown hue, that he keeps short and well styled. He has no visible blemishes, because he maintains a strict regiment to combat such flaws from marring his face.
Faction- Villain.
Birthplace- New York, New York
Mother- Victoria Irene Kilvayne, Housewife, Age 57, Special (Shapeshifting)
Father- Dr. Alexander Gregorian Kilvayne, PhD, Economist and Industrialist, age 60, Special ( Hydrokinesis)
Siblings- Adrianna Eloise Kilvayne, Lawyer, age 25, Special (Phasing/Invisibility); Dr. Alexander Gregorian Kilvayne, MD, Physician, age 35, Special ( Cryokinesis)
History-
Lucius was born the son of an industrialist and economist, and a scion of a wealthy family. He grew up in luxury, and had little want for anything that other children might have lacked. His childhood was a fairly happy one, though hardly a normal one. He was born to a family of powered humans, a family of specials. This family had a long tradition of selecting marriages based on the likelyhood a special would be produced from the union. His parents were one such union. They also had another son and a daughter.
Lucius was diagnosed a hemopheliac at a young age, and was the only one in his generation to have the disease. The condition does in fact run in his family, though. There has usually been a case or two of hemophilia in each generation, as the Kilvaynes are descendants of European aristocracy. A tradition of breeding within small genetic pools has lead to a high predisposition to various mental and physical disorders in the Kilvayne family, but it has also promoted the birth of specials over the ages.
Lucius and his siblings were being groomed for their responsibility to maintain the family legacy of professional excellence and to produce more special offspring. This was an unusual thing for a child to be burdened with, and it became a defining purpose to Lucius. Meet someone like him, so they could create another generation of Kilvayne specials. He also found his calling in genetics, because it struck him as a good way to learn the best strategies for optimal pairings among specials around the world. He also discovered he could make some decent money working for pharmaceuticals companies, including his father's company, the Kilvayne Corporation. Lucius attended class at NYU to become the expert in genetic science that he is today.
A major subject of contention in the Kilvayne family is who will succeed Lucius' father as the CEO of the Kilvayne Corporation when the man decides to retire. His children all have chosen different paths, leaving things up in the air as far as that goes. Lucius is hoping to secure that position, despite his utter lack of knowledge on the doings of business and the workings of the economy.
Lucius manifested his abilities at puberty, and was fully prepared for them to do so when it happened. This was a major perk of being in a family of specials. Lucius has spent years learning the ins and outs of his ability, and still he struggles with his inability to ever "call the old man out". He instead fights the battles he can win, and waits for his father to lose the inevitable battle against time. In the meantime, he is working closely with his father and doing whatever he can to make himself a valuable part of his father's team. He often works as a liaison for co-operative projects between Kilvayne Corporation and other companies, but he also lends a helping hand with mergers and acquisitions from time to time. He also has an active role in the company's R&D department, namely on projects pertaining to his area of expertise.
Anything else?- He is Adrian's cousin. Adrian's father was outcast from the family for having been born a non-special. They have no real association with Adrian at the present time.
Sample RP-
Lucius Kilvayne was a complex man, with complex ambitions. He wanted to grow the wealth and power of his father's company, but he also wanted to make his own waves in the world. The question was how would he do that? The young scientist paced in his lavish apartment, as he looked out a grand window with a grandiose view of the city sprawling before him. This was the life, so they said.
"Hello, son," a voice behind him said, " Nice place you got here."
"Hello, father," Lucius said with a pretense of being happy to see his father. "What brings you to my humble home?"
"Let's go with current events." Alexander Kilvayne replied.
Lucius turned around and looked his father in the eye. The man was regal looking, but wizened with age. His hair had gone, but that did not make him any less imperious. His father was a mirror of what Lucius would look like. He was concerned by that. While not technically lacking in the looks department, it was that his father's youth being gone seemed likely to make him less appealing. That was a fate Lucius dreaded. Having his face marred by time, or life itself, to lose the smooth perfection of his youthful face. Such was his vanity.
"Take a seat, then," Lucius said, wanting to show as much strength and dominance as his father had. He was the prince, and heir-apparent after all. His brother Alex had chosen a different path, leaving Lucius the likely successor. Not that he would go unchallenged. This was a large family, full of ambitious people. People who would love to sit on the throne of the Kilvayne emperor, the seat of the CEO of the Kilvayne Corporation.
"What's on your mind, father?" Lucius asked shrewdly. He would show in his mannerism, in his confidence, that he was the worthy one. That only he could be the next patriarch. The pater familias of the Kilvayne family.
"I assume you've heard the news? The government wants us to come out aof hiding. They want to know who we are. What we can do. They want to control us. They are calling it Registration."
"Yes, I have heard, father," Lucius said. "What are we going to about it?"
"We're going to play along, my boy," Alexander answered with a sigh, "At least, for now."
Lucius was intrigued. There was something going on across the country, and his father seemed to be at a loss what to do. The only answer he had was to play along. But he was clearly reserving the option to take other action as new information came to light, as circumstances changed. Alexander Kilvayne was showing caution, rather than the confident audacity Lucius knew he had used to reach the top.
"Alright, so we go and fill their little forms, as if they mean something to us," Lucius said, "What then?"
"Finding out will be the fun part," Alexander said as he got up to leave the apartment, "I'll give you a call later, but I reallyt must go, good bye son."
"Good bye father," Lucius said as his dad walked out the door. Things were going to be interesting from now on, that was for sure. Even if nothing else was.
