β D e s c r i p t i o n // Lukas is a man of average height and weight, with thick burgundy hair that turns dark red in the light, in a short cut with long bangs that is parted to the right. He's body is slender, thin from overwork and constant forgetting of meals, and he doesn't have much muscle - added with his delicate features, gives him a fragile sort of beauty. Lukas has large black oval-ish glasses that are like sport glasses, and has soft reddish-brown eyes. His skin is fair, an unhealthy pallor from not stepping out in the sun for months at a time, but he has a smattering of scars at his lower abdomen that looks like he's been hit by shrapnel, and a tattoo over his right chest, directly opposite his heart. It's a mess of loops and swirls in black ink that glitters multiple colors in the light, ranging from purple to red to blue, that looks breathtakingly ominous, like the beauty found in death.
Lukas loves casual clothes, and can often be found in jeans and buttoned shirts, with sweaters and jackets and hoodies alongside a battered pair of sneakers. Around his neck is a small silver pendant that looks like a cross in a circle, with a dark orange gem in the middle that's the color of flame mixed with smoke. At his waist is a pouch filled with materials for him to tinker with. His black spectacles have small runes curved at the side of the frames, hinting at the various charms that have been placed on them - adjustable sight, unbreakableness, shade adjustment are some of the most prominent ones.

However, underneath that constantly smiling veneer is someone who's an easily flustered mess barely held together by duct-tape occasional fits of gloominess and worries about his self worth. That smile of his? It's used as a way to reassure and psych himself up in the face of adversary, or to hide his worries and feelings, which is why its on nearly all the time, especially during battle. It's his way of reducing tension. Talk to him, and you'll notice him to be polite but distant, friendly in a standoffish way. This is because of his fear of people. Lukas has general anxiety disorder, and is easily intimidated. He gets easily stressed by many things, especially people, and often over worries or overthinks about how to interact with people, or from just being in a crowded area in general. When he gets stressed, he gets anxious, and often gets stomach pains as a result. As his methods of dealing with anxiety is avoidance, Lukas can often be found away from people in peaceful places, although he's often too polite to reject company. However, once he gets used to that person, Lukas's anxiety fades away to reveal a cheery realist who's easily caught in the flow, who freaks out often but bounces back very quickly.
Obsessed with magic and creation, the only time Lukas gets truly calm and confident is when he's tinkering with something or messing around with magic and machines. A hard worker who often forgets his limits, Lukas can be found passed out from overwork or working maniacally on his experiments, recording the results in his grimoire in tiny cramped writing with enough focus to remain unaware of explosions. His curiosity is enough to kill a bagful of cats, and Lukas tends to forget his anxiety because of his curiosity. However, even if he occasionally forgets morality in his pursuit of knowledge and to just see if it could be done, Lukas is ultimately a well meaning person, and loyal to his group of friends.
His spectacles are one such item - originally granted to him by his mother to allow him to see after an accident which ruined his sight, Lukas improved it by adding multiple enchantments to it, allowing it to do many things related to sight. His toolbelt is the same - it can compress and contain many items, although not living beings. A lot of his ideas and findings can be found scribbled in small cramped writing in his grimoire, alongside drawings and diagrams of future improvements.
β S t r e n g t h // Attention for detail - Lukas is often thought of as an intelligent person. Part of that reason is due to his attention to detail. As someone who's constantly tinkering around with small minute details that could make or break an invention, Lukas has trained himself to be able to notice small attributes that people fail to notice, like if a rune has been written wrongly, pattern deviations, and hidden objects. This makes him a great finder of hidden items. This doesn't just extend to objects - it extends to people as well. Part of Lukas's mode of operations when it comes to something new is to observe before acting, and he applies the same principle to people. As a result, he's sensitive to minute changes in people's expressions, and is able to deduce an approximation of what they're feeling at the moment based on body and facial language and subtle intonations of their voice.
β S t r e n g t h // Sewing, woodwork - part of his trade. Not only does it make him good in housework, it also aids in his item creation.
β S t r e n g t h //Creativity - Lukas is extremely creative, and that shows in his work, especially in his novelties. Lukas's intelligent analytic mind leads him to be able to connect and create new paths to what he wants to do with ease, and as a result he's the person you want when it comes to complex traps, puzzles or even ideas for pranks.
β W e a k n e s s // Terrible Eyesight - Lukas is also legally blind without his glasses. He won't be able to see more than a meter in front of him - in fact, even half a meter is blurry. If he loses his spectacles, he has to move directly in front of the object to see it clearly, or rely by touch.
β W e a k n e s s // Anxiety - Lukas is easily stressed. There are a lot of things that lead to his crippling anxiety - announcing in public, talking to people he doesn't know, not knowing something, etc. - one way or another they combine to give him a lot of stress, which in turn translate to enough anxiety to get multiple ulcers. He's also the type to overworry about people and small things like 'what do they think of me?" 'do they mean 'nice tie' sarcastically or is it a compliment?' "THEY'RE NOT SAYING ANYTHING DO THEY LIKE THIS OR NOT" to the point of getting into a tizzy and mentally exhausted. It's because of this anxiety he avoids people, and is unable to say 'no' to them.
β W e a k n e s s // Curiosity - Lukas is an extremely curious person. His urge to know what happens if he puts his idea in action (he once dyed his neighbour and the neighbour's dog pink just to test out if his newly created hair dye worked on animals and humans) make him a terrible, if non-malicious prankster to watch out for. His curiosity far outweighs his anxiety, but it has lead him into being ridiculously obsessed with creating stuff and occasionally makes him do stuff that he normally wouldn't do just to see the outcome. Having enough curiosity to kill a bagful of cats, Lukas's urge to find the truth, and inability to know when not to pursue it,
can become extremely detrimental for his health if he's not careful.
Gradually, when Lukas was eight, his household gained a new family member - Rosa, an eleven year old who had been taken in by her mom. She was rough and tough and Lukas was a bit scared and intimidated by her, but as time went by they understood each other and got along well, bonds closer than blood.
Two years later, the incident happened. Someone close to them turned traitor and took the kids hostage, and in an effort to stop the traitor their dad went in to save them. The result was a dead father, Lukas's near blindness and a newfound fear of people and Rosa's distrust of people. It was a desolate time. Their mom spent more time away from home out of depression and grew distant, leaving Lukas and Rosa to deal with their grief on their own before gradually returning once more. The incident lead to Lukas getting new charmed glasses and the inheritance of his father's workshop, leading to him locking himself away from society and his increasing obsession with magical items.
Did he ever have thoughts of raising his dead father? Nobody knows. It's seen as taboo to bring the dead back to true life (the most they can do is a reanimation for a short period of time to grant peace), and as Lukas had that hammered into his head by one of the most pro necromancers (his mom), it was probably likely that he knew it couldn't happen - and buried the yearning underneath his thoughts and focus on magical items.
When the pillar fell, Lukas's mom was one of the guards called upon to fight the Draken. Defending the pillar to her last breath, the endeavour failed, and the pillar was destroyed, changing their lives forever. Rosa grieved, but Lukas felt shocked guilt - one of his charms had been tasked to prevent the border from falling, and it had failed...
which potentially caused his mother's death. Would Rosa ever forgive him? It is for this reason that Lukas is joining the fight - he has nowhere to go, he has to make up for his sins, and he has to support Rosa, because he doesn't want his only remaining family member to die on him.
