[shadow1525]

Name: Lucas 'Luke'
Age: 16
Race: Human, Caucasian
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Green
Height: 6"1
Weight: 155ibs

Appearance: A long and somewhat slender young man. Fair and clear of skin Luke is generally described as such. His height is a bit above average, and weight perhaps a bit under what it should be for a male his age and height. Not due to lack of eating, as he certainly does do enough of that, but simply because of how his genetics came out. Luke is however well toned and in good physical condition. Not that it's easy to tell, as he normally dresses in loose fitting clothes, t-shirts of some of his favorite bands or singers. Or even simpler ones without too many graphics at all. He does however prefer the cooler colors of the spectrum such as grey and black; or darker shades of blue, green, and red. He also tends to wear cargo shorts, in the summer months, in the colder seasons these may be replaced with jeans, and a hoodie over his t-shirt.
Occasionally Luke may wear a hat of a favored manufacture, company, or producer of entertainment. The only real constants are the small piercing in his left ear, essentially just a polished metal stud, and not all that noticeable. Aside from this is his hair, which hangs fairly straight, with only slight curls at the ends. He tends to keep it well cleaned, somewhat combed, and about mid-length, out of his eyes, out of the way for the most part.


Personality: Luke, like most teenagers is prone to occasional arrogance, rashness, and impulsive behavior when stressed or angered. But overall he's a realist, and tries to keep a fairly clear head, and values individuality and intellectual ability. Not to mention having fun, he's a bit sarcastic, and enjoys games of the mind and debating. He'd sooner outwit, and embarrass someone than physically harm them if possible, which isn't to say he's completely against such action. Just that he takes more satisfaction, and prefers the other way around. Overall Luke prefers to be honest, to speak his mind. Something people have both liked and disliked him in the past. mourning his loss, changing schools along with location has made him a bit more withdrawn, than what he was in the past.


History: Luke lived the fairly normal life of an American teenager in the months before his current situation. Growing up in a fairly middle class home, normal parents, decent schooling, standard privileges. His father was a police officer, his mother a sales associate at a department store. Life was perfectly fine, he was looking forward to getting his drivers license, a job, upcoming events in the school's tennis team, and looking at future scholarship opportunities when things came crashing down around him. During the pursuit of a rare store robbery, his father was killed in the line of duty. An exchange of gun fire, and a blunt weapon between him and the two suspects before backup could arrive ended his life. Luke's Mother seemed to take it worse than he did, apparently a former victim of depression, relapsed into such a state once more, to the point of medication doing more harm than good. After an attempted suicide Luke's mother was placed in professional care. Then with little but a few trust funds, and not even a high-school education Luke was on his own, and so became another teen placed into the foster system. After much grief, misery, and mourning Luke has started to come back to himself somewhat, and after bouncing around a bit, has found himself at Quinn's.


Likes: Cooking and eating food he enjoys, Information of certain periods of history, some areas of politics, a diverse range of music, watching thunder storms. His various hobbies, and Wood-Shop or similar classes in school.

Dislikes: Waiting needlessly, being pressured by others beliefs, being made to do things he sees as mundane or pointless. Most newer pop, and R&B music.
Oh..And Math..

Hobbies: Luke was a member of his former schools tennis club, and generally preformed rather well, and was decent in running track during his freshman year. He also enjoys a fairly broad range of music, from Frank Sinatra, to older country, up to classic and modern rock and metal. Even older hip-hop, which as far as he is concerned died in the early 2000s for the most part. He's dabbled in playing basic guitar, and has a slight knack for singing and writing. If he's in the mood Luke may even write or read poetry, or read a good fantasy novel.
Aside from his other interests Luke generally enjoyed learning and studying weapons technology of various periods, and how such things influenced wars of new and old. Information on firearms and cutlery were certainly on his Youtube Agenda. Luke's Not a terrible artist either, although mostly prefers pencil, and generally only messes with it if the mood so strikes him.

School: 11th grade (This year) a fairly good student in most regards with a good memory, earning high marks in his more favored subjects, A's in English, History, Gym, Wood-Shop. Middle to high B's in economics, and most other things. Grades tend to slip a bit into lower B's and higher C's in Math and some areas of science. He simply lacked a lot of motivation and dedication in these areas, do to the actual effort required, and disinterest in general.
