+Being asked to explain his art.
Fears: Broken Bones - Something happening to his wings preventing him from flying. - Never being able to make it as a professional artist.
Hobbies: Luke is a prolific artist, he tends to prefer sculpting but has branched out to other mediums. – Is a music aficionado, he plays the bass fair to middling well but he is a complete devour-er of most musical knowledge even if he’s not a particular fan of the genre.
Powers: Avian Physiology – Specifically Falconiform Mimicry
+Altitude Adaptation – Essentially means Luke is immune to the fear of heights, altitude sickness and vertigo. Also able to withstand extremely high or low pressures and high wind friction.
+Enhanced Agility
+Enhanced Balance
+Enhanced lung capacity – Bird Like capability of keeping lungs filled with fresh air.
+Enhanced reflexes
+Wing Manifestation – Luke has a massive set of feathery wings that he usually straps down to keep down on the distraction. Capable of flight up to an altitude of 10,000 feet but usually stays far below that.
+Hollow Bones
+Decelerated Aging
+Enhanced Bite – Luke possesses extremely strong jaw muscles much like a bird of prey.
+Enhanced Vision – Ability to see with amazing clarity, detail, distance and color.
+Predator Instinct - with this ability Luke can discern numerous factors of a situation that make him a master of pursuit and capture. This includes what move a foe will make, where he is headed as well as how to effectively cause a foe to play right into his hands in combat/pursuit.
Weakness:+ Hollow bones have a tendency to break more often. + Has to have enough room and speed to get off the ground and attain flight. + Occasionally he reacts a bit too fast and ends up looking like a fool. + Cannot retract his wings, instead straps them down to contain them which isn't the most pleasant feeling.+ If conditions aren't right for flying then they’re not right and he’ll just have to bide his time until they change. + Tends to wear sunglasses due to his eyes' extreme sensitivity.
Strengths: Luke is an avid artist, he prefers sculpting usually going back and forth between wood-working and clay and abstract and realism. - Has a great talent for remembering useless facts, details and trivia. He'd be your best if you wanted to win trivia night. - Extremely analytical and is a fan of deduction, he loves to boil things down to their base components and study them accordingly. It could be a personality flaw, a math equation or a recipe either way he's going to learn the ins and outs of it all costs.
Flaws: He is extraordinarily bad in English and is usually failing or very near close to it. - Never listens to authority figures. - Has an extremely volatile temper.
Personality: Luke is very much an original, he tends to live in his own world and march to the beat of his own drummer. He's never been one to care for what other's think of him and never considers changing himself to fit in. He likes to shock and enjoys the reactions he gets from being irreverent and impertinent. Although Luke is not often completely disrespectful he walks a thin line which makes him a very divisive personality. People are either put off by him or intrigued by his unique view on the world.
His meaning in life is to question and to take from that and insert it into his art, he's always asking the whys and the hows of things. Doing his best to find out what's going on beneath the surface so as to transform it through the creative process and share it with the world. Of course he thinks himself very avante garde, and while he does show much progress he is not nearly the creative force he thinks himself to be.
He draws a lot of inspiration from his ability to fly, soaring among the clouds is an amazing experience that no one can quite get unless they can do it themselves. Luke spends a good majority of his time out on the cliffs, taking flying leaps and praying to God that he won't smash into a wall of rock while he practices his flight, when not in use his wings are hidden away. Strapped to his back and torso so as to cut down on the attention. Giant feathery wings that made him look like an angel didn't exactly read low profile although most people thought them to be quite beautiful when gazed upon.
Which is in direct contrast to the simmering anger that resides within the young man. He has a tenuous hold on his temper and the slightest thing can set him off making him quite unpredictable. Luke tends to let his anger fester and will hold on to grudges long after the offense is long forgotten and is not unknown to seek revenge upon those he feels have wronged, or underestimated him.

History:
Luke is the oldest of two children born to parents who have beat the odds and are still, more or less, happily married to this day. Luke and his little sister were afforded quite the normal childhood. Tree house in the backyard, a dog, and coloring pages covered their refrigerator. They were doted on by their parents and to the outside world it seemed like their family was the perfect ideal.
What went on behind closed doors was another story. The Morrison's weren't quite as picture perfect as everyone thought them to be considering both of Luke's parents are functioning alcoholics. Not to say his parents aren't good providers or that they didn't do everything in their power to make sure there children were well taken care of. They both had a genetic disease that tore lives a part, Luke and his sister just got lucky that they were the kind of drunks who could get up and go to work the next after a bender and do their laundry.
There was no stereotypical abuse, no screaming or violence but the Morrison children were often left to their own devices more often than not especially as they grew older. Luke's sister, Lily, thrived in school. The orderliness and rigidity was right up her alley and being as self-motivated as she was it didn't matter so much that she was virtually ignored by her parents. Lucas on the other hand was thoroughly lazy when it came to school instead choosing to focus his time on his art and being a general layabout. By the time he was twelve his wings finally made their first appearance much to the shock of his whole family. While alcoholism ran in their family, wings on the other hand did not.
Knowing that their son was special in a way they couldn't make heads or tails of Luke's parents began to widen the distance between them and their son. They were afraid to admit but they were slightly frightened of their son and the special abilities that he'd developed. Luke, quite use to being ignored or discarded by the people who were supposed to love him the most in the world descended into his own universe where he experimented with flight and the rest of the powers that came along with it. Flying was the first time he truly felt free and happy and now it's nearly impossible to get him to keep his feet on the ground for any substantial length of time.
