Character Name: Lukas Benjamin Engel
Font Color: 550D0D
Age: 16
Birthday: July 30th
Year: 1st
Grade: 10th
Gender: Male
Abilities: As kooky as it sounds, Lukas is a "leather" manipulator. It's exactly as annoyingly specific as it sounds, but once he gets his hands on some leather, he can do almost anything with it. Interestingly, it can be any kind of leather, it just needs to have gone through the tanning process. Lukas thoroughly enjoys his power and is always trying to come up with something new he can do with it.
Appearance:
- Hair: He dyes his hair a rather blinding shade of bright red. When his hair starts to grow out, it's startlingly pale, like a fair blonde, but he redyes it religiously.
- Eye color: His eye color is 'pale.' It's a sort of dry looking pink/blue/grey that's just generally colorless looking.
- Skin Tone: The boy is paler than it's really healthy to be. He practically glows in the dark.
- Height: 5'9", but he's still growing a bit.
- Weight: (I don't feel like calculating this right now)
- Tattoos: Only one; a horned snake wrapping around his arm
- Piercings: None
- Dress: Does it really need to be said? He's always wearing leather.
Personality: Lukas is, uh... abraisive? He's rude and doesn't really feel like the rules apply to him. Being at a boarding school is definitely no fun for him, and he's still adjusting, so he's intensly grumpy and looking for someone to take it out on. He's still trying to figure out what the hell the students at Ansem do for fun.
History: Lukas was a street punk, not for any real neccessity of homelessness or poverty, but largely just because he enjoyed it. His family was not wealthy, but it wasn't destitute either... he, his mother, and his two half-sisters managed to get along just fine through a combination of working part time and child support from not one but two different dead beat fathers.
Rather than get a job, Lukas prefered various illegal activities, mostly stealing and mugging. It's not hard to make the leap to how he discovered his powers... street thugs love the leather, you know? Unfortunately, he only had a few months of blissful awesomeness before the authorities started to get onto him. His mother, in a panic over the idea of her only son getting shipped off to the dissection lab, got ahold of the Resistance through someone she met at her work (-coughstripclubcough-), and managed to get Lukas shipped off to Ansembourg.
Hobbies: It's somewhat redundant, but he does know how to tan hides himself. It keeps him occupied and he finds experimenting with different kinds of leather to be entertaining and rewarding.
