Brief Childhood History:
Lucian had no need for want as a child. As a Pureblood his families wealth and way of upbringing caused him to have every toy, book, and item of clothing he could ever want. People bowed to him before he could even speak, and waited on him hand and foot the moment he beckoned. The only thing he ever went without was his parents love, his family was cold and fake, no more loving than the contract that had created them. Perhaps that was why, at the young age of ten, the boy decided to run away from the Zypher Manor and leave it all behind.
Not long after running away the boy had quickly found himself lost in muggle London with nothing more than plain dress robes and a handful of Wizarding money to find his way to his grandparents house in America. He never made it that far. Not more than a few hours after he had left home did a group of bandits recognize the heir to their enemy's family line. Deciding that they would take their revenge on the child before returning it to it's home, the stole his few Galleons and forced him under the Crusiatus curse for such and extent of time that the child went blind.
After that the child had been dumped on the outskirts of the Zypher land to be found by a house elf tending the gardens. Over the next year the ten year old boy learned to live with his blindness, sporting a starched white blindfold over his eyes, and relearning how to do everyday things. It didn't matter that his mother had almost disowned him, he could now be unique in a world of clones, something that was more priceless than anything else to him.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):
Lucian is exceptionally good at Herbology, having spent much time in the gardens while recovering. He is also well practiced in Defense Against the Dark Arts having been exposed the the Cruciatus curse from the time he was young. His stony silence and careful decision making have also aided him in the business aspects of his life, he was expected to follow in his father's footsteps, as well as in building bonds with allies.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic):
Lucian, not having the ability to see, struggles with Potions, he can never tell if he's measured the correct amount of an ingredient, or even if its the correct ingredient. Being raised in an unloving environment has caused Lucian to be distrustful, leaving him to have a hard time interacting with peers or forming friendships. Any past attempts have ended in a less than pleasant manner.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why:
I feel my character belongs in Slytherin,not only because of his upbringing, but also because of his intelligence and determination. If he had allowed himself to become full of self loathing and self pity, he never would have been able to work around being blind and would have merely allowed himself to be pampered.

Heya Lucian and welcome to HPRPG~!
However, before we can begin with the sorting process, I'm going to have to ask that you remove the extra formatting from your character sheet. ^^; It's best to have it uniform with everything, after all, so the general left align and black will do.
Once you've made the above change just swap the title from 'pending' to 'edited' and we'll continue with the sorting from there.

Hi there! Sorry about the wait!
We are going to have to ask you to edit down some of Lucian's history. Having him run away, be mugged, tortured, and then turned blind is just a lot to have going on. In addition, the Cruciatus curse can't actually cause blindness, just excruciating pain and sometimes mental deterioration. So just edit this so the situation becomes something more believable.
Once you've done that, just change the title again!
