[b]Name: [/b] Luke Alexander

[b]Age: [/b] Twelve

[b]Gender: [/b] Male

[b]Element: [/b] Light

[b]Personality: [/b]
Luke sees the world through one-of-a-kind, rose-tinted glasses that never seem to crack. He is ever the optimist. His faith in the goodness of others is as unwavering as his firm belief that no matter how dire the situation, there will always be a silver lining just around the corner. He's a walking ball of sunshine on a daily basis, happily bouncing from one place to another. Frowny faces, beware! Luke has designated himself as an official cheerer-upper, and he won't rest until he has cured any bad mood in sight. If it isn't obvious already, Luke is also the type to earnestly pursue any and all endeavors, no matter how trivial a task. He won't ever be content if he's not giving it his all. 

Suffice it to say, it is far too easy to take advantage of his inherent good-naturedness. His willingness to trust in others has made him very susceptible to getting tricked and manipulated, and he is embarrassingly terrible at picking up on even the most blatant of lies. He will seriously fall for any trick. Luke can be easily swayed by sentiments and emotions as well, so he's not exactly the best one to approach for unclouded judgments. 

[b]History: [/b]
His father told him once that he was born in a remote island, thousands of miles away from Rayville. Luke thought it was rather fitting. After all, he was born to a mother with a terrible case of wanderlust and a best-selling novelist of a father who was only too eager to appease his wife. So they traveled, [i]a lot.[/i] At only twelve, Luke has already seen more of the world than others would in their lifetime. They flitted from one country to another, staying just long enough to see and appreciate the beauty of the locale. Luke embraced their nomadic lifestyle, but he knew it wouldn't last forever. There was a reason his mom wanted to see as much of the world in as little time as possible.

Luke had just turned twelve when his mom passed away. He and his father eventually settled in Rayville afterward, as it was there that his mom asked to be buried. They couldn't fathom ever leaving her there alone, so they stayed. It didn't feel right traveling without her, anyway. 

It's been six months since then. They've mostly coped, and even though his father still didn't laugh as much as he used to, he knew they would be okay. It was difficult adjusting to their new lifestyle, it actually still is, but Luke was lucky to have met his group of friends. They showed him the ropes and continue to teach him about things he still doesn't have a firm grasp on… mostly social etiquette.

[b]Secret:[/b] Luke is absolutely terrified of the dark (and of the occult by extension) and he'll actually burst out crying if he's left alone in any remotely dark area. He can't even sleep without a nightlight on! 

[b]Other: [/b] Luke's a natural athlete, even though he doesn't look like it all. He has fast reflexes and pretty good stamina.
