Telos

Telos is a character in Faycrux. His weapon of choice is the Groundbreakers, gauntlets that he created himself.

Background
Telos is the son of President Melia Luscranc and Senator Jorg Luscranc, along with his brother Philosophus Luscranc. The siblings were born in Umomec. While his brother inherited an Irish accent, Telos did not. Telos had a pretty good childhood, always getting whatever he wanted. He and his family, being a presidential family, were essentially royalty.

When they were teenagers, Telos and Philosophus became inventors. Telos focused more on steampunk and his brother focused on alchemy. Umomec was going through a renaissance, moving from water and wood to steam. Telos became a very good inventor, but his parents pressured him to become a politician, as the Luscranc family was in power for two sessions and wanted to continue that.

When Philosophus was 17, he was executed for practicing illegal experiments. He wanted to recreate Dumuston Crystals and started doing very bad things. Telos had been forced to watch all executions as part of his training to become a politician. This included watching his brother die.

Telos eventually makes a big mech, though since Stella Popula was a utopia, the people maintained that they did not need a battle Mech. Telos' parents put him through senatorial school to continue his training to become a politician. He wanted to quit, but decided not to after his mother died from natural causes. Telos then decided that he must be "perfec." He started staying up all night, developing insomnia, and became a complete perfectionist. The rush for perfection took away from his psyche and almost obliterated him.

Telos abandoned his aspirations to become an inventor, abandoned his creativity. After the death of his mother, his father had to take over as president. Jorg is trying to shift Umomec into an Alchemic society.
