· Name: Lucifer Joseph Novak. Know to his siblings as Luc (like Lucy), his twin as Luke and his enemies as "King of Hell".

· Lucifer was always a problem child. But how could he not be his name was LUCIFER! He was the second eldest out of 6 children, 5 of which are boys. His twin brother Michael is older by 7 minutes, but sometimes it feels like 7 years. Michael who could do wrong, perfect Michael, daddy's little solider. When his mother was pregnant with her twins she felt them fighting, the war already waged. Did she know that by naming her babies after the two warring archangels she was essentially sealing their fate? When he was young he often asked his mother, "Why did you name me after the devil?" and each time his mother would say "I named you after the most beautiful and beloved angel, the morning star." And just like the angels they were named for, the brothers fought. From day one they fought, who could blame them, they were polar opposites. Lucifer was always the rebel and Michael loyal to an absent father. They often came to blows; black eyes, angry bruises and stitches were a common occurrence in the Novak household. His dad had skipped out when the twins were 10. His younger brothers Ralph, Gabriel, and Cass cried for weeks, it was understandable though. Ralph was 8, Gabe was 6 and poor Cass was only 4, Anna the only girl, was about 9 months old at the time. But Michael and Lucifer understood. They knew that he left, they knew he didn't call, didn't write, just left. There in lies the reason they fought, Michael insisted he was coming back, Lucifer hated his father for leaving and was sicken by his twin's devotion to the man that abandoned them, and thus the war began. Despite their differences deep down they secretly loved each other. Lucifer couldn't fall asleep without the lullaby of his brother snoring. To say his family was religious was an understatement. Every child was named after an angel; they could recite hymns on command and quote the bible word for word. They went to Church every Sunday and prayed every morning and night. God was their light and their Father. After his dad up and left his mother threw herself into work, she was almost never home leaving the children to care for themselves. She tried to be there for her children, she really did, but it was like a piece of her had died.

· Age: Despite being twins Lucifer and Michael were born on different days. Michael was born on June 5 at 11:59; Lucifer came at 12:06 on June 6, 1996. As if being name after Satan wasn't bad enough his birthday was 6/6/96, and this year he was 16.

· Height/Weight: Lucifer stood at about 6ft. He was a normal weight not too thin not too heavy.

· Body Type: Lucifer spent hours in the gym and he had the muscles to prove it. He was athletic and quick on his feet He could run a mile in 6 minutes and still have energy to spare. He was proud of his six-pack, taking every opportunity to show it.

· Face Type: Luc was handsome. His face was chiseled, with prominent cheekbones. On the rare occasion when he would smile, dimples would dent his cheeks. More often than not a dark grin or smirk would flit across his face.

· Complexion: Lucifer's skin was smooth ivory unmarred by blemishes or freckles. In the summers he sported a bad t-shirt tan. He had some scars from his bouts with Michael and other opponents but nothing too serious.

· Eyes: Lucifer's eyes were cold ice blue. His eyes bore into your soul, like he could see everything about you in an instant. They had a gleam about them, a glint of trouble. But most often his eyes were alight with rage. If looks could kill, he would be a mass murderer. The blue orbs held a certain confidence about them, haughty, daring anyone to oppose him.

· Hair: In stark contrast to Michael's dark locks, golden strands framed Lucifer's face. They curled behind his ear. His hair stuck up in the back, giving him slight bed head. A few stray strands flitted across his forehead.

· Clothing Style: Lucifer wore his football jerseys with pride. The number 66 inked in the back. The Novaks were well off; the children wore nice enough clothes. His jeans were faded and worn at the knees due to his near constant praying, but besides that everything was in good condition.

· Speaking Style: Lucifer's voice was cold; it sent shivers down your spine. His words dripped with sarcasm, and arrogance laced every sentence. He spoke his mind when he felt like it but he mostly sat stoic, silently plotting away. Despite being insanely religious, Lucifer tended to spew profanities. Curse words would color his speech, except when he was in church, there he sounded like a pious altar boy.

· Idiosyncrasies: When Lucifer first meets anyone he would play a "game". He would quote his favorite Rolling Stone's song "Sympathy for the Devil", and say "Pleased to meet you. Won't you guess my name?" This would always get a smirk or a slight chuckle. During times of extreme stress or trouble Lucifer would recite the Lord's Prayer. Every night before he fell asleep he would pray "Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Thy angels watch me through the night, and keep me safe till mornings light." But some nights even the prayer couldn't keep the nightmares at bay. When he woke in a cold sweat terrified out of his mind, he would swallow his pride and crawl over to his brother's bed, and curl against him. Michael would rub circles on his back and Lucifer would fall into a peaceful slumber listening to his twin's steady heartbeat and whispered reassurances.

· Other's Perception: To everyone else Lucifer was scary. A gang of troublemakers constantly surrounded him. His minions meant absolutely nothing to him. He was a king among children. He stood the ruler, unopposed. He started fights and no one dared cross him. Despite being surrounded by people, he stood alone. He never engaged in conversation, he never deemed them worth his breath.

· General Demeanor: Lucifer oozed confidence. He walked tall and proud, like he owned the school (which in a way he did). He was prideful and aloof, ear buds in listening to music. When he was around his siblings his demeanor changed. He laughed and smiled, sometimes. He was more at ease with them, his eyes softened and his posture didn't scream, "If you talked to me I will murder you!"

· Career: Being only sixteen and coming from a good family, Lucifer didn't really have a job. Once he got home he helped his siblings and cooked dinner. He would help out at the church, if something broke he or one of his brothers would fix it.

· Best Qualities: Lucifer wasn't all bad. He was honest to an extreme, he just didn't lie. You could always count on him to for the truth even if it hurt, especially if it hurt. He was loyal to a fault, if you had Lucifer's loyalty you were protected for life. He would pummel someone into a crying heap for insult his loved ones. He was the kind of guy you would want to have your back in a fight. He wouldn't tuck-tail and run at the first sign of trouble, leave no man behind was his policy.

· Worst Qualities: Temper wise, unfortunately, Lucifer was true to his name. His anger was immense, his rage got him into countless fights, and he always emerged the victor. It was known far and wide "you don't piss off the devil, or there would be hell to pay". He had a slight sadistic nature, cause pain for the hell of it. He was prideful, in every way. He viewed himself as superior to everyone else. If you got on his bad side that was it, you were dead, he wasn't really into forgiveness.

· Weaknesses: His pugnacious nature got him into trouble easily. His haughty attitude didn't exactly aid him in making friends either. His siblings were his Achilles Heel; he was completely blind when it came to them. Even though he and Michael were constantly at war, he would defend his brother's honor. If someone insulted any of the Novak children all hell broke loose. Lucifer would ignore logic and rules and promptly destroy the offender.

· Hobbies: When he wasn't fighting with his brother, Lucifer liked to read. He played chess with his brother Cass, always the dark side. He couldn't help but notice how game personified his war with his twin. Two pieces one light, one dark.

· Talents: He had the voice of an angel, that's what his mother always said. She was right of course; Lucifer's voice was pure and beautiful. She used to say if he got tired he could sing the sun down from the sky. He sang at church his voice rising above the choir, to fill the sanctuary with his love for God. He played the fiddle quite well; he would often entertain his younger siblings with an upbeat rendition of "The Devil went down to Georgia".

· Possessions: Lucifer's most prize possession was his bible. It was well worn and the black leather binding was fraying. Around his neck hung a simple cross; each Novak child had one, a gift from their mother on the day of their Confirmation. Lucifer's was silver and was strung on a silver chain.
