Background/History: comicvine
Personality:
First of all, forget everything that you know about Lucifer. Because, really, it's a matter of what you think you know.

Lucifer is an Angel that rebelled against The Creator, that much is true, and sure, he is the Lord of Hell, but that's where the Truth stops. Lucifer does not tempt people, he doesn't make people do anything, he just sat upon his throne as the Lord of Hell, watching his demons war against each other with an idle boredom. Nothing more, really. He's just doing what his Dad made him do. This, in part, is Lucifer's ultimate motivation. At some point in his rule, he became bored, and eventually decided to rebel again and leave. But he found, even then, he was stuck in the rut of his life that his father created. Lucifer battles with the ideas of fate, destiny, and "free-will", since ultimately, he wonders if God has his whole existence planned out until the very end. It doesn't sit well with Lucifer. He likes control, and wants to be in control. So he went and created his own cosmos to escape the rules of his own.

It's pretty funny, actually, because you could almost paint him as a teenager rebelling against authority, specifically his father. It just so happens that his father is the ultimate authority. Lucifer, as the third most powerful being in the universe, after only his brother and God, has grown accustomed to the control, influence, and power he holds, and would hate to lose it. Yet, in his rebellion, he is not searching for more power. Lucifer is simply searching for the ultimate freedom. He feels as if he's completely subject to God's will, and he wishes to be subject to only his own will, and make decisions on his own and be in control of his own destiny.

This motivation drives him, and while it's a central point of who he is, it's rarely ever displayed for others to see. Instead, people that meet Lucifer meet a charming, suave, handsome bastard. He's more clever than even Loki the Trickster, and while he does not tempt souls, he can easily get them to do his bidding with his mere wit. But contrary to popular belief, Lucifer never lies. Instead, he tells the complete, utter truth, since that is enough to motivate almost anyone.

Dispelling another myth, Lucifer holds no disdain for any creature as a whole. That's not to say he loves them either. He has developed a kind of indifference to all life. He does not see people as good, bad, human, not-human, whatever. They are only what they are, and he does not hate or judge them for it. You could almost say that he's the ultimate humanist, but it'd be hard to convince anyone of that. Yet the only person he shows any affection towards is Mazikeen, a Lilim that stayed by his side in Hell for eons. They were once lovers, but now walk on separate paths. However, they are close enough to confide, somewhat, in each other. Otherwise, Lucifer will not get close to any living creatures.

However, that's not to say he doesn't like them, like I said. He enjoys humans' creations especially, since they've created many interesting things to him over the years. He's learned first hand of many of them, I imagine, since most inventors and innovators tend to end up in Hell, so I can only imagine that Lucifer wanted to talk to the souls that interested him. He mingles with humans with no qualms or problems, and likes their society well enough to open a bar for them.

And, naturally, he has all the traits that would come with being who he is. He's an arrogant son of a bitch, and is reluctant to believe any kind of prophecy against him. Because pfft, he's Lucifer, he'll always come out on top. He has an ego the size of Hell and he's quite the narcissist. After all, it's said of all the angels, Lucifer was the wisest, most handsome, and most powerful of them all. He quite likes that distinction too.

Yet, despite his flaws and being a douche, Lucifer does abide by his own, established honor code. Like I said, he refuses to lie (since it's beneath him), keeps his word, and always pays back his debts. That might be because he wants to dispel some of the myths of being who he is, since these myths annoy him. He doesn't mind being thought badly of, obviously, but Lucifer holds truth in high regard.

Abilities/Powers: Explaining Lucifer's powers is about as difficult as you would imagine. I jokingly refer to his abilities as being Phenomenal Cosmic Powers, which is to say that there isn't much that Lucifer can't do. We've seen him blow people up at the touch of a hand, will wings to and from existence, and tear a hole in space and time before separating it into an essentially infinite number of such holes. So. Phenomenal Cosmic Powers.

I would be more than happy to explain this more as best I can, but essentially going along the line of thought that Lucifer, given the time and materials, can do anything is fairly accurate. Of course this doesn't work for any RP ever, so I would be limiting his power so that any of the game-breaking elements no longer work, and that he will eventually get tired if he uses the remaining powers too much in an effort to balance his crazy powers to everyone else.

Items/Weapons:

1. A hilt end of a broken sword
2. A unique ashtray
3. A key to Lux, but it looks like your average, boring key

Sample Entry: A Thread!
Sample Entry Two:
Rarely, did Lucifer ever dream. He had no need to. There was always something to be done, and for an angel (fallen or otherwise) sleep was unnecessary. It was something that angels did for fun, actually, like a game. Because when they went to sleep, there was a chance that Dream would visit them, and give them visions of what was, what is, or what will be. Angels always had prophetic dreams like this. That was simply the way that Yahweh, God, had intended for their existences to play out.

So that was one reason that Lucifer never really cared to dream. The other was the slight that Lucifer would always remember. It was a slight, nothing more, from Morpheus, Lord of Dreams, to Lucifer, then the Prince of Hell, but a slight against Lucifer is a grave mistake. For in the eons that he has lived and will live, he never once forgot an offense against him.

But tonight, after a night of playing at The Lux, he felt good. It wasn't often that he actually felt good. There were too many other things to concern him, usually involving the several plots against him at any given time, as easily as he thwarted them. So Lucifer had decided to dream, just for tonight, and perhaps indulge in some fancy.

"Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world," so was writ in that book, and Lucifer fell.

He fell, and fell, and so he remembered the longest fall the world has ever known. He remembered the fear (if you could call it that) as he fell, felt the heat of flame sear his wings and scald his perfect flesh.

In that story, he fell into Hell.

In this story, he fell into Heaven.

Or at least, so it seemed.

It was a world full of stars, cosmos, and nebulae, and Lucifer remembered every one. He and his brother had created them, after all. Each one was perfection in its design, and all very beautiful, but their beautiful magic was lost on their creator, so he sighed.

"It is not often you come to visit my realm," a voice spoke from behind, and Lucifer did not need to turn to see.

"It's not often I care to," he replied in turn, shrugging his shoulders lightly, "but if you were going to pick the past, you could have at least picked something better. You had something going with the Fall, Dream."

Lucifer decided to turn towards him anyways, and wasn't surprised to see that he could barely see him at all. In the heavens, a monochrome figure really blended in.

"It was picked for a reason, Lucifer, and from someone higher than myself."

There were many higher than Dream in comparison to how many stood above Lucifer, but he had a feeling that it was Yahweh after all, trying to send him a message that Lucifer didn't care to hear.

"It is," Dream continued, "a glimpse of your future to come. It is a dream entwined with many others, to which I cannot choose."

That much was surprising, but only made the idea that Yahweh was interfering with Lucifer's affairs more prominent in his mind. He mused the thought for a moment, but only smiled coldly in response.

"I suppose there's not much to do to change that. But we'll see, won't we? If this future, this dream, is intertwined with many others such as you claim, then we can only hope that they don't take advantage of that," Lucifer spoke smoothly, reminding Dream of the animosity between them with his tone.

Dream had done all he needed, and so he left Lucifer to the cosmos of his prophetic dream. Dream did not think about what it could mean. It did not concern him.

But Lucifer stood in his cosmos, and is the dream shifted, he saw a thousand worlds shifting in each star, reflecting back to him an existence separate from Yahweh, yet still intricately twined with it.

How curious indeed.
