Full Name: Lucille Anthony Archer
Arena Title: Lightning "Don't call me Lightning Lucy" Lucy
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Team: White Knight
Class: Racer
Positive Traits:
Equivalent Exchange: She hates being in debt. It probably has to do with her past as a "contractor", but the Code of Hammurabi (or whatever the equivalent may be) lives within her. If you perform a good deed for her, she will find a way to do the same to you. If you do bad she too will do bad. Though a double-edged sword she generally errs toward the side of focusing on repaying good deeds rather than bad ones. These deeds, good or bad, tend to loom over her and saving her life is perhaps, the best thing that one could ever do for her. Granted, she won't admit how grateful she is toward anyone but there are times when she will go out of her way to repay a person or put in a good word for them. "It isn't much," she will explain, "I'm only fulfilling a promise."
Ambitious: The future is only bright if you are the light. She joined the White Knights, not only because of Kadir but also for her own self. She wants to tip over Apollo's big empire and take it over, whether it's to restructure the entire gladiatorial system or to simply brand herself she wants to be known as the best racer to ever grace the Colosseum's roads. Though Lucy understands that people aren't necessarily born to climb the ladder she knows that Crypt City is the place to go from rags and riches. If anywhere, Crypt is the best place to rise to fame.
Fortuitous: Perhaps not physically, but her brain is hard to break. At twenty-six years old Lucy somehow figured out the secret to avoiding calamity. Despite trash talk, temptation, or questioning, she sticks to her principles. She acknowledges that these principles aren't the most noble but she will not waver. Even in situations that would normally test the hearts of others she appears to be calm and calculating, perpetually caring for herself and the welfare of her bank account.
Negative Traits:
Selfish: It's very, very rare for her to perform actions outside the realm of checks and balances so if she is charitable, one ought to be suspicious. She will most likely ask for something in return. If she isn't being proactive then she'll likely bring up something that happened in the past during a fight to win or to retrieve a favor (so to speak). During combat she has a selfish style of combat, standing in the back and poking down her enemies before going in for the kill. She won't be the first to dive into a fight unless she knows for sure she can kill.
Greedy: Greed does not only refer to money. It also refers to pride, lust, and gluttony. It's the hunger for more than one has and the other side of ambition that people write about in books. The only time that Lucy wavers is when she's close enough to taste something, whether it's another person's death or money. The biggest struggle being on Team White Knight has been adapting to the White Knight's "no killing" policy.
Apathetic: Tying in with her selfishness, she has a hard time empathizing with others. In fact, she has a hard time caring for anyone. Out of everyone she is the least connected with the group and isn't shy about showing it with her lack of listening, uninterested advice, and blunt demeanor. Whatever will make people get out of her face. This isn't to say she hates any of her teammates, but that she just doesn't care as much. In some ways, this makes her a good source of unbiased "things you need to hear but don't want to", but also terrible for comfort. Seriously, if you come to her crying, the best she can do is give an awkward "there, there" before asking the White Knight for help.
Fears: Getting old || Intimacy || Failure
Likes: Money || Smoking || Efficiency || Gourmet Foods || Music
Dislikes: Gambling || Physical Contact || Losing || Confinement
Dreams/Goals: "I want to be rich enough to buy Apollo's respect and then his city."
Tattoos/Markings/Scars: She has a vertical scar over her left eye and various cuts or burns on her body.
Weight: 130 lb
Height: 5'9"
Brief Appearance Description: With pale skin and white hair, her red lips become a huge focal point on her body. She rarely shows her brown eyes or the rest of her lean body due to her many scars, only making an exception when she goes to formal events. Otherwise, she doesn't show much of herself and when she does, she considers herself average at best. Her breasts are average, her waist is thin, her ass is small, and well, her legs are nothing to gawk at. Outside of combat she dresses informally, typically in pants and thin, long-sleeved shirts.
Carrying/Weapons/Equipment: For racing she uses a lightcycle (focused on speed and maneuverability rather than fighting) while wearing form-fitting armor that protects her from the wind, cold, heat, and allows her to move with little friction. Particularly, the visor she wears improves her vision by providing high definition coverage of everything in her line of sight. Her signature weapon is a cross-shaped blade that she usually carries on her back. She uses it the same way that one would use a shuriken, slicing her target before it comes back to her. She also stashes smaller copies of her weapon to pin them down long enough to get ahead. During close combat, she will use her speed and combat knowledge to dodge their attacks and fight back with quick jabs or the lasers on the red spots of her armor.
Strength/Abilities/Talents: Agility || Accurate, precise aim || Stamina || Combat Knowledge/Analysis
Weakness: Fragile (when caught) || Greedy || Untrustworthy || Apathetic
History: When Lucille was six her parents immigrated from a city in the heart of the desert (where only the rich could make a name for themselves) to Crypt City, the land of opportunity. His dad wanted to open a small bookstore, just the three of them with some start up money and later bring their family members over but it just wasn't in the cards. The first couple of years were good, but when bigger businesses moved downtown, Archer's Archives couldn't compete with their selection. By year ten of Archer's Archives, the Archer family hemorrhaged so much money that they had to file for bankruptcy. Her father, Aziz, couldn't handle the financial burden and began arguing with his wife who wasn't pulling in enough money to support the both of them. As Lucy grew older, her parents grew more irascible toward each other and the fact that Aziz's dream fell apart meant that he had little to live for.
Like Aziz, Lucy distanced herself from the family (other siblings included) and drew plans for herself. What the Archer family didn't know was that she'd been hanging around the slums of Crypt City and picking up information on how to sneak around, steal things, and even jump people who wandered into the wrong part of town. She knew that her dad's company was going under and she felt like she was being backed into a corner with how her mom ran ragged trying to take care of her other brothers and sisters. They didn't have a college fund or a plan...or anything so the white-haired girl look matters into her own hands. Scummy things like dumpster diving and grabbing from lost-and-found turned into meeting with the neighborhood's premiere illegal businessman. He didn't own a chop shop or a drug cartel, no. He ran a delivery business. Things like drug dealing and car theft were easy in a neighborhood that wasn't closely monitored by the cops, but for the upper class who wanted to maintain a position of authority they needed middlemen.
That's where the Contractors came in. For a reasonable fee they would get any message, package, etc. delivered without any questions, witnesses, etc. This included beatings. The darker side of the business was collection and sometimes, hits. Lucy would do it all and more, if there was money in it for her. She wanted nothing more to move up in life and once Apollo's Colosseum began its death matches she departed for the racing segment. She had the reputation of Valoran Contractors Inc. riding on her shoulders as well as that of the Archer family; however she did well to excel through the ranks of the tournament. In six short years, she became one of the "sleeper" hits among the tournament, strong but shady due to her lack of fan interaction and ties with Valoran.
When the White Knight made his return he asked for her to join his team, something that she initially refused until he reminded her of both her debt and her goal. Sure, she could have joined Team Apollo, but that would mean being unable to usurp him, plus there was the matter of settling a debt.
Two years prior to joining the Colosseum, her client's wife nearly killed her with an energy laser on a job gone wrong, but the White Knight (then Cataclysm) not only saved her but added insult to injury by defeating her husband the next day. She wanted to stiff the company on payment by killing Lucy but Kadir happened to be in the neighborhood so he saved her. At the time she didn't know how to repay him because he left so quickly, but he clearly had a good memory because he wanted to collect that debt in full.
Despite how she initially reacted to his return (disagreeing completely with the no-killing rule) she knew better than to dishonor an old debt so she signed onto his team with the hope that she might be able to change more than a measly killing rule.
