it has a very patrician sound to it. somewhat regal but with an edge to it. lucien would be of roman descent, all sharp angles and hard lines…piercing eyes. he’d be almost unerringly stoic. cold. hard. almost as if he were hewn out of marble, stone, granite.
timeless and classic. that’s lucien. picture him a fierce general, or impossibly regal consulate. it would be that piercing gaze (eyes of possibly a silvery-grey, or ice blue, perhaps?) , undeniably commanding presence and sharp wit that would have nearly everyone firmly ensconced in a mixture of fear and respect in his precence. ever so proper and able to manipulate the situation to his best interests, utilizing the full extent of his impeccable breeding, he would be able to easily and fluidly shift from striking fear into his adversaries and charming the pants off of anyone within earshot of his dulcet voice. it would be firm, succinct, and exceptionally enunciated. whisper soft, or thunderously loud. either way, he’d be incredibly adept at masking his emotions. precious few would ever get close enough to reveal what is behind the stoic shroud of mystery surrounding him.
in other words, lucien is a bit of a dick.
i’ve always liked the name lucien, or even, lucius (i blame my obsession with a certain canadian vampire tv show). i don’t know if it’s the insomnia or the decongestant cocktail i had for dinner but i’ve been thinking about random names…this probably inspired by my name nerd of a roommate (heh), and swirling all sorts of thoughts around in my head.
