Full Name: Lennox Laurent De Lucien
Age: 37
Sex: Male
Species: Wizard
Nationality: French
Abilities/Strengths:
- Carries a pair of revolvers on his person at all times and is adept in their use.
- Intelligent and inventive.
- Practical knowledge of wizardry, the fundamentals of magic, and general occult studies-- The theory is clear to him, though the practice of magic itself is next to impossible.
- Firearms aside, hand to hand combat is his other forte.
- Manipulative and a convincing actor.
- His left eye is useless- so far as a normal eye goes-- but it permits him to see past any glamours and to see beings usually invisible-- ie: shinigami.
Inabilities/Weaknesses:
- Despite his family's history and his species, he has all the inherent magical ability of a rock.
- Any spells that do deign to work for him usually backfire quite spectacularly.
- Extremely farsighted; an asset in the fact that it lends him the skill of dead aim-- but a handicap nonetheless.
- A magical accident involving a misaimed spell damaged his left eye.
- Flighty wanderer who rarely remains in one place for long.
Occupation: Vagrant/Street performer/Jack-of-all-trades
Appearance:
Lennox is well-kept for a drifter, usually attired in a manner above his station. Thin wire-framed glasses perch crookedly on the bridge of his nose, a rosary on a thick golden chain hangs around his neck, and his attire usually consists of a ruffled white silk shirt, black trousers, and a long black frock coat with brass buttons. His most definining feature is likely his unruly, violently-red hair. Rarely tied or pinned up in any manner, it trails down his back to a point just above his hips. His left eye is faulty, and the scars acquired during the injury (A magical accident) are concealed by a white mask which is in turn hidden by his hair.
A battered violin case is often in his general vicinity, a bit larger than is necessary for the instrument, usually resting at his feet or being used as a chair.

Lennox is generally laid-back and good-natured despite having a rather cynical way of seeing the world. Thirteen years spent at a wizarding university has allowed for the accumulation of a great deal of knowledge-- a fact made apparent in his speech and mannerisims. He can be a bit of a flirt and isn't above stressing his much-faded French accent for the sake of the effect.
There are people who can fade into the background, whose presence in a room rarely bears much notice.
He isn't one of them.
Between his bright red hair, his exuberant manner, and his considerable height, he manages-- unintentionally-- to be quite a presence wherever he goes.
Life Story:
Lennox was born in Paris, France, the eldest son of the De Lucien family-- a pureblooded line of wizards and witches.
Great things were expected of him-- and when he came of age, he was shipped off to a prominent wizarding university in England. There, he discovered that in spite of his heritage and his history, he was incapable of magic.
The theory was quite clear to him and he always scored well in written exams-- but his actual arcane ability was no more than that of the average human's. Unwilling to give up the decadent ease of life the University provided, he managed to scrape by for years by achieving perfect marks in the pratical magics, such as potionmaking and spellwriting-- until the university passed to a new headmaster and his records came under scrutiny.
He was discovered to have no more magic than the average mortal-- and uncerimoniously discharged. His family, until now, had been as blissfully unaware of his ineptitude as the school's staff and wanted nothing to do with him.
He has since become a vagrant and jack-of-all trades, taking on odd jobs and performing magic of the lowest class-- little more than silly parlor tricks-- on street corners.
