Luka has somewhat short brown hair that seems to have a slight wave to it, and brown eyes. He has more of an athletic body type, and is slightly toned, while he has a tan skin tone. He stands around 6'1" with an average weight, 160 pounds. He doesn't seem to have much facial hair. He tends to wear more simple clothing when casual, with a loose black t-shirt, and a pair of jeans, usually a belt along with that as well. His shoes seem to change from time to time, but they're usually something that he'll find comfortable. A watch is always found on his right wrist. If he finds himself in a formal situation, he'll probably throw on a tuxedo or something, or even just a simple white button up shirt and a tie, and nice black pants with good shoes.
| O D D I T I E S |
He has tribal styled tattoos covering his upper back and shoulders, coming down to his upper arms.
Nothing too noticeable scar wise, just a couple small ones find themselves over his body. He can't seem to remember what they're from, or where they even came from in the first place.

⊠Creative ⧠Sarcastic ⊠Outgoing ⧠Confident âŠ
The first thing people would probably notice about Luka is his rather outgoing way of acting. He is most definitely not a shy person, and he enjoys the company of others when he can be around them, so he's rather social. In fact, he prefers to be around people for the most part, better than being along, yet there are times when he'd rather it be quiet or if no one was around, like when he's working, or occasionally when he's reading and researching. Though, he usually makes it pretty clear which he's wanting at that moment. So simply be on the watch out and keep an eye on his body language and the way he's talking to get an idea of which he's wanting at the moment.
Luka tends to be rather sarcastic at times too, though it can start sounding much more rude when he's feeling annoyed or "anti-social." He doesn't usually mean for it in a mean way, some might even call it his sense of humor or his way of joking around with the people he likes, but occasionally people may feel as if he's going a little bit overboard. He's quick to apologize if people start to think that or give hints that they don't like it, and will tone it down as best he can, but don't expect it to leave for long; it'll probably show right back up in an hour or so. Just try not to take it personally.
Luka, of course, is very artistic and creative. He's got a very imaginitive mind, and will come up with new ideas every once in a while for his next picture, or something like that. He enjoys photography quite a lot, though occasionally he'll branch out and have some fun with music, whether it's singing or piano, rarely with actual art, as in holding a pencil or a paintbrush and throwing something out on a piece of paper. Though, even if he is usually confident about most of the things he does, music and traditional art are things he'd much rather keep to himself. So ask all you'd like about his photography, he'd say it's pretty good (he did make a job out of it...), he's even pretty proud of himself for the things he captures, but he'll avoid talking much about his musical and drawing and painting side, as he seems nervous about sharing those.

⧠Electrokinesis - Luka's ability allows him to manipulate electricity. It's made his body able to house and hold in that element, and he takes it in by tapping into electrical devices, like a power outlet or a phone, and then storing it inside. He, of course, has a limit to how much he can keep in, and if he happens to push past that, he either becomes ill, or accidentally releases it all out at once, which of course, wouldn't exactly feel all too great to those around him. So it's usually wise for him to, every once in a while, go out somewhere empty and alone and release it, or try to give some of it to different objects, like charging up a phone or getting the lights working again for a little while in a power outage. Occasionally, he'll accidentally take drain electricity without meaning to, so sometimes he ends up with a dead phone or camera. Usually it isn't too big of a problem, and he can easily recharge it back up, but he does find it somewhat annoying.
| S T R E N G T H S |
âŠPatient - Luka is very patient, be it with delays, or with work or problems. He isn't quick to become annoyed or frustrated.
â§Observant - He rarely misses even the smallest details, and is quick to catch or spot something that others may have not noticed before.
âŠPersistent - He most definitely isn't quick to give up, and he'll work towards his goal for as long as it takes.
â§Open Minded - Luka has an open mind with people and their opinions, and doesn't mind hearing their ideas. Sometimes people might consider him a good listener.
âŠFriendly - Luka, for the most part, is a pretty nice person, even to strangers.
| W E A K N E S S E S |
â§Sarcastic - While some might just consider it his sense of humour, others consider it rude and annoying.
âŠReckless - Luka tends to do things without thinking much about the consequences to follow.
â§Perfectionist - Usually with photography, music, or art, which can often become a problem or slow him down/stop him from making progress.
âŠClaustrophobic - When he's inside somewhere. If he knows there's some place he can occasionally slip out to get a breath of fresh air or just so he knows that he can leave if he wants or needs to, it's fine. When he feels trapped or as if he has no way to escape is when he starts panicking.
â§Insomnia - It's not too terrible, but he rarely get a full night of sleep, which can leave him dragging or feeling exhausted in the day time, without the energy he needs to have a productive day.

Seattle, Washington
| H I S T O R Y |
Luka had lived in Seattle from the day he was born. Along with him was his mother and father, Whitney and Tony Durante. The three of them owned a small, but comfortable home in the large city, and they did well enough financially that they didn't have to worry much about money or being able to get food on the table. Yeah, they weren't rich, but they weren't struggling and broke either, so they were happy.
From a young age, Luka began to show interest in art, music, and photography. He was constantly found at the piano, messing around on the keys and trying to figure out how it worked, or scribbling doodles onto a piece of paper at the kitchen counter. Occasionally he even managed to get ahold of his father's expensive camera, though luckily he knew well enough to be careful with it, so he never broke it. His parents found his love for these things cute, or something good for him, and so they were completely supportive of whatever he did. They gave him piano lessons, they helped him look for art classes, and his father helped teach him how to use a camera, as well as all different tips on how to get a good picture, or get a better perspective on something. It was quite exciting for him, and it become something he would love for the rest of his life. He would even make a career out of photography one day.
So, as Luka aged on and finally graduated from his high school, he went on to go and pursue his dream of photography. His parents were continuously supportive, even if they'd liked better it if he'd chosen to go on a more stable career field. It was their son's life, not something for them to control and force decisions on. He was more than grateful towards his parents of course, and often would seek help from them when he first started out and was struggling. But, things seemed to be going well for him, and soon he was somewhat better well known and was actually making money off of it. A rough start, but he was starting to make progress and getting somewhere, and things were looking okay. Maybe he would actually end up doing pretty well after all.
Yet it seemed that the biggest challenges and trials of his life were just around the corner, waiting to pounce on him when he least expected it. It had become rather late after he'd been out taking pictures on his own for fun up in the mountains on a hike. He had started to feel rather sick, and decided it would probably be best if he headed home before it got worse. Besides, getting sick when you're a hiking isn't exactly the most delightful experience, he knew that himself. So, he got moving, but it became worse and worse the closer back he got, until he finally collapsed and couldn't even get himself to stand back up. The pain in his chest made him feel as if he couldn't breathe, and then the bleeding from his eyes came next. Panic would be an understatement. He had no idea what the hell was going on, and he was out in the middle of a mountain, alone. Who would find him? He was going to die!
And, he did. But soon after, he was back, alive, breathing, even though his heart had stopped completely who knows how long ago.
He barely made it back to his home, collapsing again once he was there and passing out due to the stress on his body. He thought maybe he'd just dreamt everything that had happened, but there was no way. It wasn't possible. Things got even weirder when he figured out he had some kind of crazy ability. Electricity? There was no way. This couldn't be normal.
Yet...this was him now, and he was going to have to accept it, whether he liked it or not.
