Concept

Multi-U field specialist

Aspects

Fringe Theorist: Lucius has seen a lot of… Weird things at Multi-U. He's seen some things that are just downright impossible, and has taken a certain mindset as a result. He's no longer satisfied with logical or rational explanations for things and goes the distance to find what he would hypothesize to be the impossible truth. He can often be wrong, but if it turns out that the coffee machine doesn't work because of demented pillowcases from Europa, he's likely the first to find out. Often, however, he overlooks the simple explanation for things and forces himself into looking for impossible answers.
I know my shit: Lucius is a very steadfast man with a very stubborn Irish personality. If he says that he knows something, then he knows it. Even if he doesn't actually know something correctly, he acts like he does and can be very hard to convince otherwise. When working with partners, he tends to get very stubborn in his outlook, hardly acknowledging any findings by his partners that conflicts with what he knows to be true. Granted, with such a hefty amount of experience and education in his field, he usually is right, but when he's not, his refusal to stand down might just cause a problem.
I'm a doctor, not a slacker!: Lucius is willing to do close to anything to finish a task. This drive to complete his work provides him with an amazing amount of drive and motivation, meaning that it will take an enormous amount of force to stop him from doing what he needs to do. This doesn't include sleep. Lucius will usually get too caught up in whatever he does to care for himself, often sacrificing sleep or hunger in the process of his research.

Personal History

Lucius was born and raised near Dublin, Ireland where he lived for twenty-three years with a wife and son. He later moved to America to study (and later earn a doctorate in) theoretical physics at MIT. After he graduated, he began to publish papers and studies on the multiverse theory in several scientific media outlets. The SCP Foundation Multi-U division came across one of these studies, one that detailed some of the ways for assessing/proving multiversal causality, and decided that because he was one of the first civilian researchers to develop such theories, he would be an important asset to have with Multi-U. They contacted him with the opportunity to become a researcher with SCP, which he readily accepted. During his time spent with Multi-U, he was able to break more new ground for the division in a shorter amount of time than most other researchers of the time. On quite a few occasions, Lucius has had the chance to enter alternate realities with a Multi-U team to study his findings in person. Lucius worked with Multi-U for 5 years before he was transferred to Area 354 to study the spatial anomalies and possible alternate dimensions associated with SCP-354.

Miscellaneous

  • Physical Description: Lucius is Caucasian (Irish) with brown eyes and black hair. He stands at 6'0" tall. While he isn't overly muscular, he is physically fit. After many years in America, his Irish accent is slightly watered down, although still very present.
  • Education: Graduated from MIT with a Ph.D.in physics (Specializing in theoretical physics). 5 years working with Multi-U has given him incredible experience in his field.
  • Personality: When he isn't working, Lucius can be quite sociable and outgoing, usually in a cheerful mood. However, when Lucius is working on something, he will tend to become completely engrossed in his work, ignoring, even shutting out, others who try to interact with him during his work.
