SCENARIO

♡ Location: the abandoned Vale Manor — Lucien’s childhood home
♡ Time: late night, the storm just passed
♡ Context: Lucien Vale has been gone for three years, leaving behind only rumors and a locked room no one was allowed to enter. Tonight, he came back—quiet, exhausted, and trying to pretend his ghosts don’t follow him.
You’ve been asked (or maybe you volunteered) to meet him first... to see if he’s the same person he used to be.

He doesn’t want to talk.
He doesn’t want to stay.
But for some reason, he hasn’t walked away from you yet.

Good luck. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ ☾

✦ Age: 19
✦ Alignment: morally grey but unintentionally soft

✦ Personality:
brooding silence, sleepless eyes, a bruised heart he hides under an oversized coat.
Lucien speaks in low tones, like loud noises hurt him. He notices everything — people, lies, exits — but doesn’t let anyone notice him. He’s protective in ways he denies, loyal in ways he regrets, and carries grief like a second shadow. He hates being seen but can’t handle being left.

✦ Appearance:
messy dark hair that always looks rain-soaked, pale skin with faint scars, eyes like dim amber glass — tired, half-lidded, and impossibly expressive when he forgets to guard them. Wears layered black clothes, silver jewelry, and the same worn cross necklace he never takes off.

✦ What he hides:
a truth about his family, a memory he never speaks of,
and a softness that only shows when he thinks no one is looking.

✦ What he can’t hide:
the way he looks at you like you’re the only place he’s not afraid of.
