The manufacturing and sale of EvoLocks and EvoKeys is illegal. My company neither manufactures nor sells these items; we simply contract them out. I am no more legally responsible for the actions of an Evolvyrn than a car rental service is for the misuse of their vehicles.

From now on, I’ll make sure my choices are mine and mine alone, and if fate permits...I’ll make them the right ones.

Lucius Raivent is a main character of the series Tech Cross.

History[]

Pre-Series[]

Lucius started out as the heir to the Raivent family's criminal empire, an extensive organization that dealt in various illegal trades and were infamous for their brutality. What was unknown to the organization at large, however, was the fact that Lucius and 12 other sons were created by their father, Sephtis Raivent, as demonic superweapons intended to serve the crime ring and give them an unbreakable hold over the criminal underworld, with Lucius himself being born as the earthly incarnation of Satan/Lucifer, lord of hell.

What Sephtis failed to take into consideration was that, even with the memories of their former lives being lost when they were born into human bodies, demons are a rebellious lot, and one by one, his sons left the underworld to seek out their own paths in life. Frustrated by this but unable to stop them, Sephtis kept a short lead on Lucius, tying him down to the Raivent criminal empire by any means necessary. Having developed a deep hatred for Sephtis due to his wanton cruelty, especially in regards to his abuse and eventual execution of Lucius's birth mother, Lucius bided his time, and in a move that should really have shocked no one, eventually betrayed his father, trapping him inside a burning building and leaving him for dead at the age of 13.

Taking advantage of Sephtis's efforts to tie him into his organization, Lucius took over his father's criminal enterprise completely unopposed and immediately set to work restructuring it into a proper company. Illegal trades were cut off and the company began dealing through strictly legal (if not entirely moral) channels. This shift in focus initially created some infighting, but those who rose up against the new status quo were swiftly dealt with, firmly establishing Lucius as the unquestionable head authority of the organization.

This new direction proved to be extremely successful thanks to Lucius's ruthless yet efficient business tactics, with the Raivent company quickly rising to become a major financial power. At some point, Lucius took notice of a developing new transformation technology called the EvoLock System, and immediately recognizing the potential profits of investing in such a thing, purchased distribution rights for the devices from their creator, one Dr. Emilia Krauze.

Though the manufacturing and sale of these devices were quickly made illegal after the system was first released, political lobbyists and lawyers representing Lucius's company (including one of his brothers, Callahan Raivent), managed to keep a legal loophole open allowing them to contract out the devices under their own terms.

Personality[]

Lucius is initially a ruthless and seemingly emotionless businessman, placing the state of his company above all else. His morality is primarily centered around efficiency; he strives for effective solutions that carry minimal long-term consequences. Because of this, his actions may be either beneficial or detrimental to those around him, though he tries to avoid inflicting unnecessary harm if at all possible.

He takes significant issue with his origins as a living demonic superweapon, and refuses to use his more powerful abilities on account of this. As of Truth X Morning, he's able to overcome this somewhat thanks to the advice of Christine Eldridge, but he remains reluctant to use his full power. In spite of experiencing obviously human emotions, he struggles to see himself as anything more than a demon masquerading as a man, and as such rejects the idea that treatments such as therapy might help, having somewhat given up on himself in that respect.

Abilities[]

Lucius is extremely intelligent, able to thoroughly calculate the results of any given action before going through with it. He is also an excellent marksman, having a near-supernatural sense of precision that allows him to hit his targets without fail. He can apparently teleport within a certain range as long as nobody is watching him, and has enough durability to fall from an extended height and crash through the roof of a moving vehicle unharmed.

When channeling a portion of his demonic powers, he assumes his Inferno form, which allows him to freely control hellfire and empower his transformations with demonic abilities. The full scope of his powers if he were ever to use his true demonic form is unknown.

Weaknesses[]

“Because I’m the devil! Spirits are shaped by humanity’s beliefs! As long as a single person still has faith that he’s protected from my influence, I can’t touch him!”

– Lucius explaining why he can't kill Joshua Messias

As Lucius's demonic powers ultimately stem from his true nature as the devil, they are subject to the same limitations the devil's are. While the exact nature of these weaknesses vary depending on the specific beliefs of who he's confronting, they generally render his powers useless against people who believe themselves to be protected by the blessing of God.

Due to the nature of spiritual beings, this belief does not actually have to be true to apply; as long as enough people believe it to be true, Lucius's powers will be nullified, making them useless against even the most vile and godless of religious men. While his physical incarnation as a human being could theoretically allow him to bypass this issue, his inability to truly acknowledge his humanity prevents him from taking advantage of it.

“Did you not see me walking in?” Lucius raised a questioning eyebrow.
“No!” Anne snapped. “Nobody did! How do you do that?!”
“If I knew the ‘how’, I would stop doing it.” Lucius scowled. “Having this conversation every time I go somewhere is hardly ideal.”

– Lucius addressing his sudden appearance


Of lesser note is the fact that he has yet to gain full control over his abilities, which often results in him unintentionally being cloaked in a cognitive veil of sorts that prevents him from being noticed until he speaks up. To an outside observer, this makes it seem as if he simply appears out of nowhere even if he's been in their line of sight for the last five minutes, which leads to a lot of startled reactions that annoy Lucius to no end.

Equipment[]

EvoGun[]

“I don’t see the problem with it.” Lucius pulled the EvoGun out of his suit coat. “Same thing with the EvoGun. It is an EvoLock in the form of a gun. EvoGun. Succinct, efficient, and to-the-point.”

– Lucius assessing the blunt name of the CataloGun

EvoGun

The EvoGun is a heavily modified EvoLock that functions as both a standard pistol and a transformation device. By inserting one of his four custom-made EvoKeys into the slot on the side of the EvoGun, Lucius shifts the device from gun mode to transformation mode, with the next pull of the trigger being used to initiate the transformation itself.

Whenever Lucius activates the EvoGun's transformation mode, his pupils shrink into slits. This phenomenon is not caused by the EvoGun itself, but seems to be a short flicker of Lucius's demonic form coming through during the transformation process.

Trivia[]

  • Lucius has gone through several changes in concept over the years, with the majority of them using some form of gun-shaped Omnitrix. The concept of a gun-like Omnitrix was eventually first put into use with the CataloGun in Project Deca before Tech Cross began development.
  • Lucius was initially planned to serve a more antagonistic role in the series, with early material for Tech Cross portraying him as a recurring villain. This was changed largely due to the debut of the character Amatsu Gai as Kamen Rider Thouser in Kamen Rider Zero-One, who initially bore an uncanny resemblance to Lucius's original concept. With Tech Cross already bearing some inspiration from the Kamen Rider franchise, the risk of unintended comparisons being drawn was too high, and Lucius was reworked into an antihero of sorts.
    • Lucius's intended role as the "corporate villain" would later be filled by Joshua Messias, whose basis in religious elitism rather than sheer capitalistic greed made comparisons much less likely to occur.
