a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by nellethiel
Description
Personality
Luke is one of those soft-hearted, hot-tempered types. His personality varies, but only to accommodate those around him. He enjoys having a good time, and wants others to enjoy theirs as well. Being a bit hot-headed, it's not a good idea to anger him. He acts on his emotions, without stopping to think if they are good or bad. Luke is one of those guys who wants a woman in his life, but feels like it's impossible for him. Despite his good looks and sharp-shooting skills, it's tough for him to act gentlemanly around women. He wants to be, but the other guys always get to them first. So, he drinks in Gambit's to soothe the pain. Fun-loving, he always keeps his spirits up, though. Not much can get him down.

Equipment
History
When Luke was 14 years old, his parents sent him away, knowing he'd be safer far from home. They heard tell that he and his sister, Vanya, were wanted, not un-like criminals. The siblings had perfect appearances, and healed quicker than normal humans. Half-vampires. Hating his heritage, Luke left.
At 18, Luke had learned every way there was to fight. Strong and calm-minded, he was a worthy adversary. Traveling alone across the land, he learned what it was like to be un-wanted and to survive without companionship. So, when he met a young woman, he was tentative. Cara was beautiful and a thinker, strong and independent. She could handle a gun, and Luke fell for her. Theirs was a long and loving relationship. When Luke was 20, Cara was murdered. Seeking revenge, and hunting down her killers, he ran into a secret service. Not run by the government, but rather one-man-owned. He joined up, hoping to find a way to ease his pain, and has been with them ever since.
Now 27, Luke's pain is gone, his hopes of finding someone gone. The shooter is skilled and un-afraid to kill if he must. Though he's been alone, he is still a gentleman. Or, he tries to be. Luke is living at the lake, in a tent with his horse currently, as there is no where else for him to go. The agency has stationed him in Wing City, and he keeps up a ruse of being relatively normal around the residents. Luke spends most of his time in Gambit's, drinking and meeting new people. He almost craves the company of the patrons, enjoying every waking moment with the new and different creatures/ humans.
So begins...
Luke Banning's Story
Luke Banning chuckled and stood slowly to make his way over to Lena, waving his his hand in an 'i know, i know' gesture. smiling, he came to stand before her, nodding to Templewick, "hey there." he said as he pulled out a chair with a-- he winced --loud squeal. moving over, he sat down and leaned forward slightly with a grin, "ah, i've been around, just not into Gambit's. thought i'd let you alone for a while, just to make sure i wasn't bothering you or anything." he winked.
of course, this was not the real reason for his absence, but the shooter really did think of this when he was gone. looking up at the lovely woman, "yeah, it has been a while. and where have you been, Lydia?" he asked, curious. she hadn't exactly been around either.
noting that the little bot had arrived, he grinned at the little thing and took the glass gently from it's cool 'hand'. ahh... he tossed the robot a gold coin as it moved away, and took a long swig of the whiskey. he looked over his glass at the two in his company, "may i buy you both a drink?" he asked.

Luke Banning nodded knowingly, "ah, that he is. and i wish him the best of luck." the shooter smiled warmly over at the snakeman, hoping he'd get what he wanted. he was a nice creature, and he wished him well. turning back to face Lena, he glanced down as she crossed her legs. she was just to beautiful. one of those women that needed to be locked up in a room and kept safe, so that no man would defile her. his lips twitched into a small smile, knowing she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. he moved his lingering eyes, "er busy, huh?" he raised a thick brow.
hmmm... she was probably speaking of Guy. his expression did not change as he spoke, and smiled slightly, "are you now?" he winked, "were you missing me, Miss Lydia?"
hmmm... she was probably speaking of Guy. his expression did not change as he spoke, and smiled slightly, "are you now?" he winked, "were you missing me, Miss Lydia?"
Luke Banning laughed. he couldn't help it. her sweet confused expression... he chuckled, and it wound down into a cough, a clearing of his throat, and then a smile. he couldn't help that, either. she made him smile, "you looked for me?" he feigned surprise. well... whether he'd admit it to her of not, he was. and pretty positive he'd lost any chance with her, to Guy.
facing her, he reached over to touch her hand lightly with another small smile, "i missed you as well, Lydia." he removed his hand, hoping she wasn't annoyed by it. fingers warm, he tilted his head slightly, rubbing a hand across the stubble that covered his jaw, "how have you been? anything new?"
ah, he'd forgotten how much he enjoyed her company....

Luke Banning moved his chair closer to Lena's to hear her soft voice over the noises of the bar, and tilted his head, brows furrowing, "i know you can take care of yourself, my dear friend, but if you need anything, anything at all, i want you to get me." concern showed on his face, much to his regret... he wasn't trained to show emotion-- so why when he was with Lena, did every thought and feeling come alive? he clenched his jaw and moved his face back a bit. and held still, brows furrowed, "can't blame them---" he muttered, exasperated. he would hunt them down if she said the word.
damn... but he was torn inside... he looked back up into her face, clearing his throat with a grin, "oh, no... no injuries, lucky for both you and i, eh?" he took a sip of his whiskey, and set the glass back down with a 'thunk' and a teasingly suspicious expression, "and how is that guy, Guy?" he winked, hiding emotions again.

Luke Banning had to fight to keep his face straight. so, he was right... she was with Guy... he couldn't help the sadness that crept into his brow eyes. hey, whatever. this is what usually happens, right? just forget about it.
"....oh, well i'm happy for you.." he said quietly. okay, so he couldn't get over his feelings for her.. but he'd be her friend. yeah.. sure. sounds... great. he took a breath and smiled, "i won't worry, Lydia. have a good night. and sure, i'm always here for you, cheesy as that sounds." he winked and embraced her.
moving away, he strode out the door, into the night.

moving away, he strode out the door, into the night.
Luke Banning opened the door to Gambit's bar quickly and fairly ran inside. Slamming the door forcefully against the snow and the wind. Leaning against the wood of the entrance, the man reached up to shake the snowflakes from his thick, dark hair. Taking a deep breath and rubbing his cold hands together for warmth, he made his way over to the long bar.
"Sir?" He called out to the bartender, "Can I get a bottle of Whiskey?" Nodding, the bartender bent down to retrieve the alcohol. Sitting heavily in a stool, Luke took off his coat and tossed it at his feet, revealing a slender and hard-muscled body beneath a thin t-shirt.
Grunting his thanks as the bartender placed the drink before him, Luke took a long drink directly from the bottle.

Luke Banning cleared his throat, and reached back to rub at his neck. Rolling his head around a bit, he turned as the door opened. Raising a brow at the attractive cowgirl that had entered, he chewed on his upper lip. No, no. No more heartbreaks, Luke Banning. Sighing softly, he turned back to face his Whiskey, his only lover.
Luke Banning steeled his resolve and turned his head toward the woman. Biting the inside of his cheek, "Hey. Never seen you in here before." Lifting his brows and standing, Luke leaned against the counter and nodded in Aaliya's direction.
What... what the hell are you even thinking, Luke. You swore you'd never even look at another--- no... too much of a ladies man to keep away from the opposite sex. Grinning and chuckling to himself as if telling a joke, Luke watched the woman.

Luke Banning drums fingers on the whiskey bottle for a moment to clear his mind. Tilting his jaw up and stepping forward until he was before her, Luke took her cool hand in his large, warm one and shook it gently.
"Luke." Who gives out last names at a bar? Leaning against the counter again, facing her, he nodded to her attire, "I like the look. Gives you an..." pauses for a moment to find the correct word in his mind, "independent and strong." Nods and smiles crookedly, "And what brings you back to town? A gorgeous girl like you shouldn't be alone in a place like this."

A gorgeous girl like you shouldn't be alone in a place like this."
Luke Banning watched her hand as it withdrew from his, already missing the softness of her skin against his. Continuing to smile, he tilted his head to one side and nodded to the weapons, "And am I correct that those are not the only two forms of defense you have on your person? And yes," he laughed, a deep and musical sound, "Yes, Aaliya... that was a compliment. I do not insult unless you've angered me." Taking a long drink from his bottle, the thickly muscled man shifted where he stood.
Luke Banning blinked for a moment at her and furrowed his brows, tilting his head down to look into his whiskey bottle, "Ah.. you've read me well. I'm a bit of a hothead." Grinning back at the woman, he shrugged, "But what man isn't? I'll warn you in advance, though... I'm not a gentleman. And neither will I go out of my way to please a woman by staying calm and cool." Shrugging, he tipped his head back for another quick drink. Ah, the truth hurt to tell.
Luke Banning felt the effects of the whiskey. Shit. Licking his dry lips, he looked back at her, "Good, because so far, women haven't treated me well in return. I don't expect nice and proper ladies anymore. So please don't try to be one. If you shoot my ass, I'll shoot you right back, babe." Winking with a sly look in his eyes, he took yet another swig.
Luke Banning felt his leg twitch at her fingers. Sighing, he shrugged, "What can I say? I'm one of a kind." Pursing his lips for a moment and eyeing her with narrowed eyes, "And not looking for relationships. But you're very beautiful..." He left it at that. What else to say? She sort of made him breathless. Swallowing past the thick lump in his throat, the man battled in his mind.
Luke Banning nodded, unsure of what else to say. Legs tired from the long walk to the city, he slid into the stool beside her and cleared his throat with a deep and husky almost cough-like sound. Bouncing his left leg on the stool, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Wow, good start, Lukas.
Luke Banning fairly smacked his head into the counter. Why do you fail all the time? Women aren't THAT difficult to read... usually. Turning to her again and reaching out to lightly touch her hand, "Hey.. sorry. I've had a bit of whiskey and it addles my brain." Tapping his forehead with his forefinger, he grinned crookedly.
Luke Banning saw her glance toward his lips. Smile stretching wider, he leaned in to lightly brush her soft ones with his own, stubble surely scratching at her skin. No more whiskey for you, Luke Banning. Shut up, quit talking to me... you sound like a crazy. Parting his lips and drawing back a bit, he looked into her eyes. Please don't shoot me. Or stick me with that knife I KNOW is hidden in that sexy little boot.
Luke Banning widened his eyes for a moment and then let them slide shut. Luke leaned in closer to slide a hand around to the back of her neck, cupping her head beneath her hair. What... was he doing. Don't do it again. No... against his will, he lifted his other hand to touch her soft cheek gently.
Luke Banning drew back and licked his lower lips, looking down at her, "I-- I'm sorry, Aaliya. I'm forward, I know.." Chuckling, he felt his cheeks redden, "but that's no excuse to kiss you when we've just met. I... sorry." Shaking his head, he clenched his jaw and continued to watch for her reaction.
Luke Banning chuckles nervously, "Right. Not at all forward. I'm sorry, I have no manners! Don't mind me." Noticing the bartender's gaze on the two of them, he looked up and raised a brow at the man. The bartender grinned and shot him a thumb's up.
