Lucius Selig
Pipers Twin Brother. Age 39. Birthdate: November 2, 1981
Address: 578 Montgomery Street, San Francisco California
Alias: Master Lucius
Affiliation: The Power of Positive Mechanics
Lucius Selig is a very powerful mage with the ability to project his consciousness into subdimensions and to add new worlds to the multiverse. His method for this travel is a focused sonic meditation he learned from his mother Jean which allows him to send his mind into a "blank" universe. These universes were like clean sheets of paper and Lucius eventually learned how to write on them. Lucius has recently developed the ability to build new worlds within these spaces and to take other people with him.
He started a church: The Power of Positive Mechanics. Positive Mechanics began as a self-help group but as Lucius grew in power and ability it mutated into an influential and wealthy cult.
Next, Lucius built Portals Bermuda, an extra-dimensional health spa and resort for the spiritually aware. It is accessible only to the wealthiest of his followers, who traveled there through interdimensional wormholes originating from the Positive Mechanics headquarters in San Francisco. Portals Bermuda is a cosmic abomination, cobbled together from five different subdimensions and its rickety structure is putting a significant strain on reality. This poorly construct resort has already produced reality bending paradoxes. Currently, Lucius' wealthiest followers sip margaritas on alien beaches and do yoga in the middle of prehistoric forests while the poorest worked as unpaid interns.
Biography: As a boy Lucius was completely oblivious to the extra-ordinary pursuits of his parents. At the age of 11 he wandered into his fathers laboratory while Emerson was trying to resurrect Nimsesku, the family hamster. Lucius grabbed the pet at a crucial moment in the experiment and he was bathed in dangerous chaotic energy. The experiment brought the hamster back from the dead but it also caused Lucius' consciousness to separate from his body and travel to other dimensions. This ability was not a gift at first. Lucius could not control where and when he traveled. Without warning he would slip into a trance, his consciousness gone from this physical plane. Lucius did not understand what was happening to him or why he could no longer live a normal life. His father, wracked with guilt, could never bring himself to explain the experiment to his son. He pretended the experiment never happened and told Lucius his condition was the result of blackouts. When neurological therapy failed to cure Lucius his parents pulled him from school. Lucius was a shut-in until early adulthood.
It was then that he had his so-called awakening and learned to control his powers. In his bestselling book The Power of Positive Mechanics, Lucius claims that he traveled to a planet of pure crystal: Murok-Inoo. There, he met a sentient crystal who became his spirit guide. The crystal taught Lucius how to control his powers and how to create new worlds. Lucius made this experience the centerpiece of his religion. He preached a message of mystical self-reliance, arguing that everyone could be as powerful as he was if they focused their positive energies and rejected all negative thought patterns. Lucius used his powers for personal gain, experiencing enormous success characteristic of many charlatans. He impressed his followers by taking them on spiritual pilgrimages to other dimensions, but he never told them the true source of his power. He swindled fortunes from his clients, who all believed that Master Lucius got to where he was through positive thinking and not due to the effects of a magical ritual.
