NAME: Lucius Lockheart
AGE: 23
GENDER: Boy
QUIRK NAME: BAD HAIR DAY
QUIRK CLASSIFICATION: TRANSFORMATION
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Lucius is able to move the long, flowing locks atop his head according to his will. His hair is prehensile and able to shape itself into things like braided ropes, fuzzy fists, and even spider-like legs to support his weight. It also moves according to his mood and desires, sticking straight out when he's alarmed, grabbing things for him when he thinks about them, and billowing in a non-existent breeze so he can look dramatic. He can also quickly make it grow up to fifty feet to further aid him, provided he's remembered to have breakfast that morning!
QUIRK POWER LIMIT: Lucius' hair is "drained" by exposure to things that damage hair normally. If his do is exposed to too much heat or noxious chemicals, it will become weakened and frayed, unable to take shape. And if it gets dunked in hair-gel for a stiff, sticky hold? It won't be able to shift its shape or move much. Also, it can't extend past its maximum distance of a hundred feet. Finally, he can "pull" something if he overextends himself and lose any ability to control or shape his hair for a few hours, until he "recovers".
QUIRK FACTOR:
Power 1
Finesse 2
Stamina 2
Hair Care - Lucius is knowledgeable in all things hair and hair-care related. He knows how to bring even the most dead, lifeless locks to gorgeous life! Show him someone with messy bed-head that won't be brushed into submission... and he'll leave them with shiny, glossy, beautiful hair. He knows just how to cut, shave, shampoo, oil, condition, style, and dry hair while leaving it in perfect condition. Maybe he'll leave it better than when he found it!
FLAW: "My Hair!" - Lucius is very concerned with the well-being of his hair, and his hair-style. If anything should happen to damage or sully his hair, and he notices, he'll immediately disengage from a fight or chase to take care of his "emergency". Threats to sully his hair are also highly effective.
APPEARANCE: Lucius stands at about 5'11" (though he often claims he's six feet tall). He possesses a strong jaw, high cheekbones, and a perfectly symmetrical face. Along with a smooth-shaved face. He accentuates these features with carefully applied makeup. A bit of eyeliner to make his blue eyes pop, some blush to bring out the color of his cheeks, etcetera. His hair is a bright, golden blonde, and it's kept nice and shiny... without edging into greasy territory. He can often be found wearing nice suits, collared shirts, and elegant loafers. And a pair of white gloves... Regardless of whether he's going to a meeting, or committing larceny.
BACKGROUND: Lucius isn't originally from Mustafu. He's actually from California... and despite what he says, he grew up in a lower-middle-class suburb, not Beverly Hills. Despite his good looks, he wasn't very popular. He was far too vain and conceited to make any friends, and he barely even noticed the kids around him. He pretty much ghosted through middle school. And he barely talked to his family, feeling leagues above his "plain" relatives.
However, during his sophmore year of highschool, Lucius started a vlog channel. It began rather small, as recordings of his day and thoughts (mostly about how great he was). It never got much traffic, except from a few curious schoolmates or family members. However, things changed when he began giving hair-care tips and tutorials, as well as product reviews. Due to being a teen from a less-than-wealthy family, he knew how to keep his hair looking good for cheap. He also knew what products were a good investment, what you didn't need, and what you could make at home. People liked that. His channel went from a subscriber count of about thirty, into the thousands almost overnight. Suddenly, he was popular at school. He was popular in the street. He was popular everywhere. He was making tons of money from ad revenue and patrons. Enough to afford a nice apartment and car of his own before he turned eighteen. People wanted his autograph, other vloggers wanted to interview him, ghost-writers asked for book-deals, and hair-care product makers were asking him to give their products favorable reviews on his vlog.
That last part was what undid his fame just as quickly as it had come. He started taking any product that he was given to give a favorable review, as long as the money was good. If the product was good? Great. If it actually wasn't... well, he was using the money that they gave him to buy actually good products anyways. However, due to his influence, many people bought actually terrible products that destroyed their hair. All because of his review. This made them mad. Mad enough to take to the Internet in droves and drive people away from Lucius. People unsubscribed, revoked their patron status, and made entire channels around debunking or just plain hating on Lucius.
He couldn't afford rent on his apartment, or to pay his car... Some loyal fans stuck by him, but not enough to maintain his lifestyle. Not enough for him to afford the products he used every day. So what was Lucius to do? Was he to settle down with his shrunken audience, and go through the long, hard road of earning everyone's trust back? Would he get a decent day job? Try Let's Plays?
Apparently not, because he instead made a crowd-funding initiative to fund a "autobiographical documentary" with a goal somewhere around a quarter of a million dollars. After meeting the goal, he just took the money and ran off to Mustafu, Japan, thinking it would last him far longer than it actually did. He blew it all within a few months on a new car, apartment, suits, and shoes. Now, running low on funds, and in desperate need of some decent conditioner and pomade... Lucius has turned to a life of crime and villainy, using his old vlog handle of "Locksmith"... Mostly because he's now vlogging about his life of crime and villainy.

QUIRK TECHNICAL LIMIT: Lucius needs to take good care of his hair in order to keep it at its "fighting best". This means doing things like using sulfate-free shampoos no more, and no less, than three times a week, always making sure to use conditioner afterwards. Keeping up on his diet. Never using artificial drying tools to dry his hair too quickly. Never swimming in chlorinated water. Avoiding stress. Cutting around the edges of his mane of hair to keep split ends under control. Etcetera, etcetera. Also, his maximum stretch distance shrinks down if he stretches his hair in two or more directions. And if his do gets wet, it'll slow down and have trouble moving.
