Appearance
Lukas stands at an average height of 6' 0" from the ground up, holding a moderately bulky composure. Whilst he isn't the most impressive looking man in terms of strength and intimidation in appearance, he does hold a stable and strong foundation to his build. In specifics, his hair sits in a brunette ruffle, lengthened by the months of not keeping up with his military regulation, followed by his facial hair that subsequently surrounds his mouth, jaw and cheeks in its slightly darker tone. These tones blend nicely with his aqua-blue eyes that seem to give off a strong symbolic nature of innocence and purity. With a pale tone of skin, he stands as one of the regular Quebecois citizens; it is easy to distinguish both the Canadian and French influences on his appearance through generations upon generations of family trees and so forth. When it comes to clothing, especially in the outbreak, Lukas is sure to be dressed in his Canadian-Issued combat BDU, which holds a dark brown colour palette to give adjusting camouflage in both mountainous, desert-based and forest environments respectively, much like his division already had. Included on the BDU is the issued webbing, tailored to suit his combat role more effectively in providing ammunition and stationary utilities for operations and defensive measures. Within this uniform, his hair is tightly rendered into his headgear, becoming less free than in the open air.

Personality
Ever since his upbringing, Lukas has had a strong desire to protect and to serve, finding honour in the name of his family's historical tree. Before the day he encountered the outbreak, Lukas saw this as his driving motion to achieve as much as he could. Throughout his service in the Canadian Armed Forces he'd used his respect for humanity, ethical conflict and morality to drive his mind into directions only he thought he could take. Previous clashes with superior officers had been shown because of these ideals, but despite all the disagreements in how the world was perceived Lukas remained true to his intentions. It's because of this that he entrusts his mind, body and actions closely with his comrades, seeing camaraderie as the strongest asset to his and Canadian abilities. Through centuries of fighting, brother-and-sisterhoods forged in the field of battle have given the Canadian name quite a lot of notoriety, throughout great wars and other conflicts worldwide. With ties all over the world in terms of family, ancestry, and so forth, Lukas finds himself respectful of nearly all walks of life from different perspectives. This has caused hesitation in the field previously when serving as a peace-keeper in the Middle-East.

Because of his Quebecois upbringing, he is fluent in both French and English alike. With a mother who's family went all the way back to the industrial revolutionary times of France opposing the father's rich Canadian blood, he found himself having ties to most nations around. Because of this, Lukas sees himself quite happily as a man of culture, another thing sometimes mistaken for arrogance, and tries to act as a natural defuser for most situations. Being a man of such kindness on the outside and inside, it would seem awfully odd to see him in such an outbreak, one that was sure to break apart his morals and test whether or not he was a stable man to begin with.

Relationships


Nicole and Lukas have had a brief connection since he moved into FOB Lucius. The two hit off very well, both relating through their Canadian nationality and reminiscing stuff around their childhoods. The main difference, however, was being the French-Canadian he was, but it was a common sight for those living within Canadian borders. In full effect, so far Lukas actually admires her talents, as she briefly showed at the base's shooting range, as she had not received the same level of training as he did. The two talked about each-other's current service and she was sympathetic enough to understand the troubles he faced on his Middle-Eastern deployment. Luckily for him, she and him were likely to stay in contact after the end of his deployment, though fate had other plans for him, like most of the others.

Biography
As previously stated, Lukas was born into a family of both French and Canadian influences, as many Quebecois individuals were. His mother had ties that went all the way back to the embarking of the French Republic, whilst his father's side was known for its ties in the Canadian-Commonwealth dominion era. It was here that from a young age Lukas began to find interest in honour, military service and courage through the stories of his grandfather's fathers, and further down the family line. From Vimy Ridge to Juno Beach and Ortana, the names of his Canadian ancestry went very far back into some of the greatest military achievements Canada had to offer. Similarly, on his mother's side, ties went back to the revolution, Napoleonic wars, fields of Verdun, shores of Dunkirk and nearly was completely destroyed as a family name during the Marques fighting in Paris. For Lukas, this was a massive honour and worthwhile historical discovery for him. Every day he would research endlessly in libraries, council offices and memorials about his past, trying to find the links throughout his school-years to the point where he almost flunked his studies due to the huge aspirations for discovery. And so, that time came when he had to leave education, so he embarked on military service at the age of 20 after working a tiresome and boring job within a supermarket.

Training was somewhat difficult for Lukas. He hadn't really been the most physically gifted individual by all means. However, the programme he was entered within offered equipment that was viable to improving his physicality in unison with the developing skills of tactical engagements, teamwork, camaraderie, firearms handling and other proficient Canadian arts. There were several times where Lukas, which he hates to admit, was very close to dropping out of the military for his own personal benefit. However, whilst naive at the time, he was quick to turn his determination back on track and continue onward. These close calls with giving up have tarnished his relationship with other soldiers further down the line of his career, who sometimes look back on his aspirations to turn his back on success several times as a dangerous fault waiting to cause dismay and agony for his teammates. This, like his fellow comrades, is something far too intimidating for Lukas to consider and think about.

Service within the first few years was quiet and rather peaceful. Calls to arms against terrorist organisations took him overseas but during these first few years combat was something that was rarely experienced. Even in times where exchanges of fire and bullets occurred it was rare for any danger to occur due to skirmishes being over rather quickly. It didn't have anywhere near the glorious and honourable outcomes that his forefathers had worked towards during their previous wars, but all in due time was his experience to grow. Whilst stationed at FOB Frontenac, located in the Arghandab district of Afghanistan, ISAF and Canadian forces were laid under siege when a large insurgent force engaged them with amassed militias and technical armour. The battle lasted five long days, where ammunition and fire-support was limited for what their stockpile had to offer. By the third day, they'd run out of ammunition for their main guns and the Eastern defences were breached, where aerial supplies were required to support the engaged FOB. When the landing zone had been secured by insurgent forces, a brutal close-quarters engagement between the Canadian-ISAF coalition and the insurgent forces led to horrifying sights that still somewhat shake Lukas to this day. Scenes of blood, limbless friends and the need to evacuate the injured was all but frightening. However, in this fire and flame of battle, the Quebecois man managed to escort five injured men, three of which were officers posted under the British Army's command, off to safety, resulting in the attraction by his superiors.

Once the battle had ceased, technically being a ISAF-Canadian defeat, Lukas was promoted to Corporal, in which he became a non-commissioned officer that started his further pursuit of impressive military achievements. Another four years was spent out in the fields of Afghanistan, eventually leading to Operation: Picketed Wing, taking him and a small detachment of troops from the same regiment all to Saudi Arabia, where an insurgent leader was suspected to be hiding away. A two hour engagement in a local resource dump found even more death from the Canadian forces sent to infiltrate the area. At that time, Lukas' only remaining friend, Johnathon Rhine, from the British Colombian province, was shot and killed at point-blank range by insurgent shock-troops. This greatly impacted Lukas' performance throughout the battle's remainder, where he eventually was again praised for his efforts and promoted once more to Master Corporal. Being an Automatic Rifleman, he was called for having a brave intuition to hold his ground and expend bullets for the success and lives of his comrades. Accepting the promotion, he went further up into the chain of command, now more damaged mentally than before.

The remainders of his peacekeeping service was met with some scepticism from himself. He didn't feel comfortable walking the streets, knowing some man or woman could ambush him for a cause they deeply believed in. Hell, Lukas didn't even want to roam the streets because he felt like he was invading their homeland and occupying it, much like Fascists of the 1940s. Luckily for him, after being injured in an urbanised conflict in a Middle-Eastern mountain town, he was sent back to Canada with most of his regiment for recovery. By the time he had recovered from his injuries, the Royal 22e Régiment was relieved of duty and replaced by another light infantry group. From now on they were to be stationed in several FOBs, airbases and other militarised locations from Canada all the way into America for reasons still unknown. A few more years passed of silence when Lukas was sent to a newly founded FOB in New Mexico, titled Lucius, to which he thought was a random placement to occupy its fortifications until it found its own stationary regiment. However, it seemed rather makeshift for its type, seeming to have been put up a week before he arrived. The sky was grim and many troops were sent out with specialised groups he'd never seen before. All he was told was to remain within the premises and stand on sentry duties until further notice, making for a boring few days. Within that time, he finally met a few characters that he could finally relate to. A fellow Canadian woman, by the name of Nicole, an ERT member called for sentry duty outside of the FOB. She wasn't allowed to disclose any information to him, but he felt at home talking to her, forming a small but somewhat warming connection with her. He offered to keep in contact after their service was done, but he had no idea that the reality of what was beyond the FOB's walls would bring him.
