[Luke.]

Lucius was born on raised on Montelimar. From a young age his dreams were rife of flying. He heard it all from his parents and older siblings. He even pretended everyday objects were ships and could be seen running through the bar and dealer rooms, making "space noises" and talking commands to...whatever was going on in his head. Rather than being ridiculed, he was loved for it. Seemed everyone shared that kind of dream but he was the one that wanted it most. So he claimed, anyway.

His early life was a popular one, though a few crowned him with the "idiot" throne. He didn't much care. His mid-teens saw him flying with his parents and siblings, dreams recognised and in full flight. Natural talent was the one to call it and he was talented in...every area possible, if you want to take it that way.

The missions got slowly higher profile and dangerous and they broke through the Gallic barrier into the Tau's. Being shown the sights of Tau-31, though cautious of the Navy that guarded it well. Lucius was awe-inspired. He'd repeat to his parents that one day he'd seize the mighty system. They laughed, it was not possible but nevertheless, the boy had dreams.

Then came the fateful day. The Hispanics had invaded Tau-23 and the IMG were in trouble. The treaty with the Colonials meant that the Corse had good firepower on their side. It was a victory...apart from one tragic loss. Lucius' brother, Cecil...he never made it. He did not eject fast enough when his ship was falling apart. From there, Lucius' life changed.

His parents were getting old and took early retirement from fighting. However, they wanted Lucius to carry on in his brothers name, to carry on fighting their cause. Lucius was never as happy since that day but he agreed, for his family's honour.

From then on, he flew more solo missions, perhaps grouping with 1 or 2...he took his fair share of damage but it did not phase him. He learnt every day. One day, he bumped into 2 members of the official flying aces of the Unione Corse. From that day, he found a new, secondary purpose...people who he could avenge his brother with and make his family proud. A "new family", if you like.
