Lucas Homura Nanaka was a kind child. In fact, at the age of nine he decided that he'd be a hero instead of a villian like hi parents. He could use the power of demon summoning to save people rather than hurt them and kill them. By age ten he was a genius at summoning and contracts, but one night something went wrong during his parents' summoning of a powerful demon and they were killed before his very eyes.
Lucas was safe within a protective circle his parents had drawn beforehand, but he couldn't do anything but watch his parents die to the demon. He watched the demon loom over him, feeling as though he were in a feeble shark cage while chum was dumped on him.
Lucas wouldn't ever forget those terrible eyes that examined him down to his very soul, breaking past every defense he had put up in his mind.
The demon almost broke the barrier, then promised that for Lucas' absurd ideals about using demons for good, that he'd curse Lucas. By the demon's right eye Lucas would gain power to save them all, but he'd see them exactly as a demon saw the souls in hell. Since then, Lucas' right eye has been red and demon-like, though most tests confirm it isn't actually a demon's eye.
When he first stayed with his grandparents he noticed that he could see magical auras around the magic items in their home, but very little else. At first, Lucas thought that the eye was a blessing that would help him. Lucas' affinity with magic grew and he tried to save as many people as he could, but the first week he attempted it he fled in terror.
People no longer had faces. Instead there were black lines coming out of their faces, jagged and akin to a nightmare. They barely looked like people anymore. A nervous wreck, Lucas spent a year inside, avoiding people. He took online courses when he could and learned how to glamour away the demon eye. Eventually, he started to get used to the sight of people with no faces and went back to school.
However, he found that the closer he got to people the more nightmarish they would appear in his eyes. His best friends looked bloody and dead, and Lucas had to return home early. Eventually, he came upon the idea that covering the eye with an eyepatch, he avoided the black eyepatch to avoid being stereotyped, it would hide the terrible visions.
The trick worked on most people, with the rare exception here and there people had faces again, but Lucas couldn't forget the visions he had seen. Deciding to understand the curse and follow the path that had been chosen for him in life, he started a name for himself in villainy. He signed up for Saint Tan's School of Villainy and was accepted due to his ancestry.

Power/Abilities/Equipment:
Magic- mainly dabbling in the Darker Arts, Lucas is a fairly accomplished magic user. His spells rely on darkness, or more accurately, shadows. Using this magic for too long tires him out and his glamour on his face starts to wear thin. When this happens his right eye appears to be red and slitted like a demon's or appears to have a white, medical use eyepatch on it. Extended use or too much magic at once causes black veins to appear around his 'demon eye'.
The List of Lucas' Spells:
Dark Fireball- Akin to the regular fireball, dark fireball lights the area around where it lands on fire, however instead of just burning items it also burns light. That area is plunged into burning darkness.
Shadow Warp- Using a deep shadow, Lucas can teleport anywhere there's another dark shadow. While he can't teleport into walls, he uses them akin to a doorway. He also has to know roughly where there are shadows he can use for this power. He can also teleport into the area he has plunged into darkness with his Dark Fireball, but still suffers from the burning effects of the fireball.
Forced Demon Possession- Lucas has contracted a demon to lend him the powers of a demon through possession. Through iron will and sheer stubbornness Lucas remains in control. However, the drawback to this move is that it's extremely physically draining and can't last longer than an hour. Longer possession may lead to Lucas' defenses weakening and becoming properly possessed.
Glamours- Lucas can look however he wants others to see him. Glamours also no longer work on him due to his 'demon eye'. This is an illusion magic that can be easily foiled by cameras, or adept magic users. The exception to the magic use rule, Lucas can cast this spell all day and not get too tired, but because it's almost always on the other spells cause more of a draining effect on him.
Demon Eye- While technically not a spell, -or a real demon's eye- this allows Lucas to 'see' auras around magical items. Often, it gives him horrible visions when un-covered so he puts an eyepatch over it and disguises it with glamour. Most people assume that he's blind in that eye because of the eyepatch. It is the result of a curse from the demon who killed Lucas' parents.
