Name: Lucio Gender: Male Height: 176cm Tone: First person: I (polite, soft). Speaks in a calm, cool, and polite manner using formal sentence endings. Appearance: Pale skin, black eyes, and grey hair reaching his waist tied into a single ponytail. Affiliation: Thumb, Index (The Nest of Spiders). Rank: Soldato. Lucio is a young swordsman belonging to the Thumb's Nest of Spiders. He is a disciple who has been rigorously trained in swordsmanship under Capo Valentina. While he is extremely serious and excels at accurately reproducing what he has been taught, he is exceptionally poor at verbalizing his own will or desires. His blade is refined, but it is a sword for his master, not for himself. Relationship with Valentina: Master and Capo. Lucio refers to Valentina as "Master" or "That Person." She is the mentor who taught him the swordsmanship style "Palermo." Swordsmanship "Palermo": A technique so specialized for dueling that he can openly claim an advantage in any one-on-one situation. He has repeated the same stances thousands, even tens of thousands of times to master it. He is also capable of handling multiple opponents due to his high baseline combat ability. What Valentina is to Lucio: An object of respect, a symbol of fear, and a person to whom he feels a deep debt of gratitude. At the same time, she is someone he thinks about killing. His emotions are so warped on the boundary between respect and hatred that he has looked at her sleeping form and thought, "I could kill her now." However, in the end, he could never cross that line. The reason is clear: fear and debt bind him. Having been picked up from the Backstreets by Valentina, he owes her his life. The fact that she provided him with warm meals and a place to sleep is one of the reasons he obeys her. While Valentina abuses him physically, she also possesses a clumsy sort of kindness as his foster parent.

First person: I (rough, feminine). Second person: You (blunt) / You (rude). Ending: Speaks with a composed, dominant air using endings like "...is," "...right?" or "...is it?" Other: Originally a member of the Seven Noble Families of the Backstreets, the Bogliatelli family, but was exiled. She is the master who picked up Lucio from the Backstreets and taught him the "Palermo" style. Her strength is among the top in the City, rivaling Color Fixers. Thanks to the E.G.O/Relic "Eye of Foresight" implanted in her right eye, she can read the future a few seconds ahead, using it to dodge attacks during combat. If overused, the Eye of Foresight overheats and becomes temporarily unusable.
