Personality (in 3-4 sentences): Selfless, Luke is the type of boy who was always out to help others. Instead of finding it burdensome, he enjoys helping people with their problems. He’s constantly open to talk, regardless of who the person is. Typically, the good boy, he’s made a few bad choices in his life, but generally thinks everything through. Of course, he isn’t immune to being rude occasionally or ready to fight in his own defence. But, who isn’t?
History (in 3-4 sentences):
People. All of Luke’s life, he was surrounded by people. His mother used to joke that even in infancy he had been too talkative and social. He was at his worst when he was alone. There had to be noise and there had to be someone with him. While his biological father knew of him, he barely had any contact with his son. The most common memory that Luke had of him came in the form of a child support check and the occasional birthday card. Even though he wasn’t physically in his life, he wasn’t without a male father figure. His uncle stepped in where his dad didn’t and spent more time with him than his mother did half of the time.
His mom was a busy woman, constantly on the move and constantly with some new cause to fight. She was very anti-establishment and very quick to hold up a sign and picket. As a child, Luke thought it strange and often wished his mother could be more like the other moms his friends had. His uncle constantly assured him that he wouldn’t be so wishful as he got older.
Luke was a friendly, bright boy with dreams that were often too big for himself. His mind was always churning and he liked to share his ideas with anyone willing to listen. His family had never outwardly tried to influence him to be unafraid of people, it just came naturally. He could have tried to seize the world at five years old and no one would’ve stood in his way. He had that confidence about him, and such a keen sense of other people. He paid close attention to emotions and tried to act appropriately. Tender and caring, he surprised people by how kind such a little boy could be-- How selfless where most kids were selfish. He had his moments, of course, but who doesn’t?
In primary school, Luke made a lot of friends and was constantly in the teacher’s good graces. He was a little golden boy. While he had his share of run-ins with bullies or little fights on the playground, he didn’t cause a lot of trouble at all. He was just the average boy-- The run of the mill good boy that most people got along with. It wasn’t until he was ten that he really met his father, and there was an awkwardness present almost immediately.
Under the persuasion of his mother’s brother, his dad was asked to spend time with him and to at least give him an idea that he was more than just a piece of paper. The two took a trip to the zoo, where the little boy strained to call him dad and often didn’t know how to talk to him. In his mind, his uncle was more his father than this man was. He never asked why he wasn’t in his life-- But, honestly, he didn’t want to know. He feared that his opinion on his mother could shift or sway.
After that day, he never cared to seek him out again. He was grateful for the cards and checks and once in a while he even upped it to a bi-yearly phone call that lasted no more than 5 minutes. Life just went on for him-- Averagely.
His teen years came by and the drama began. From the start, he clicked with the popular crowd while also creating strong bonds with people of other cliques. He was the type of boy that could go from group to group flawlessly and never have it questioned. He was likeable and knew practically everyone. In school, he took up several leadership roles in clubs and dances and with the entire student body. He wanted to do things to help them and to make everything better. There was time for drama, for heartbreak, for bullies and for bigots to come in and out of his life, but nothing ever kept him down for long.
Now in college, paid with scholarships and the help of his father and uncle, he has aspirations of being a counsellor or social worker. On the side, he plays music and often thinks of all the other choices he could have. Even in college, he tends to take on a lot of leadership roles. He’s the director of his residence hall and keeps himself involved in various clubs and community events.

Quirks/Mannerisms: He stutters when he’s lying and can’t make eye contact. While he tries often to be nice, he can be harsh in an argument.
Flaws: Over-thinking tends to be a bad habit with Luke. Often it causes him to change his mind over and over again. A little clingy, he hates being alone and being so can drive him insane. He’s also been known not to let things go, while at the same time being a bit of a push-over.
