species: magic user (illusion)
lawliet is the younger brother of lumi. he was a notorious child prodigy and was like considered a savage magical genius. however he was a delinquent who ran away a bunch as a teen and did a lot of crimes in the eyes of the law [of magic]. so, when he was 18 he got sentenced to get lashed by this magical ancient weapon ("cruel blood oath") that doesn't heal for 1000 years, and also got sentenced to be the lead sorcerer of the boreal ash region, which is where he has been the past 10 years.
the magic leaders of the world hate him lol but he continues to spite them. personality wise he is kind of bratty but has grown to be pretty mature over time but still gets into fights over stupid stuff. whenever lumi + fam visit he gets in a fight w/ elias bc they're frenemies. he also has a demon fish man familiar, maki, that helps him w/ his sorcerer duties.
hobby: astronomy + collecting anime figures
