Name: Luke Lancaster
Alias: None
Age: Twenty Two
Personality: Most see Luke as a cool, calm, and collected individual. He usually portrays a laid back and carefree personality regardless of the situation. However, hidden behind this seemingly good-natured and cheerful disposition, is a cunning man. Unbeknownst to many, Luke is quite sly and somewhat of an opportunist, usually caring little for others unless he is able to make use of them as a means to an end. He has no problems in conversing and opening himself up to others as long as he is able to gain something in return.
Appearance: Luke stands at a height of about 6’1” and weighs approximately 160 pounds. He has long, ruffled, brownish blonde hair and light forest green eyes while his skin tone is relatively fair. He usually sports hoodies, bull caps and relatively loose clothing.
Powers: Luke is able to transform into any animal, as well as use their abilities, traits and appearance/physiology by rearranging his own DNA structure.
Weaknesses and Limitations: As of the present, Luke only has a limited selection of predetermined animal forms to take. He require a visual memory or genetic sample of target animal through touch or assimilation. When transformed, he is not able to speak in a human language and is not capable of combining several animal forms.
History: Luke Lancaster was the child of Lance and Louren Lancaster, being raised in New York City. His father was a petty crook who ended up serving a prison sentence, and even after the sentence was served, his father did not return to the family. That left Luke alone with his drug addicted mother, who he tried to take care of by resorting to thievery and picking pockets for some cash. Luckily for Luke, he had already discovered his abilities at an early age, thus making his “endeavors” a tad bit easier. Sadly, his mother soon died later on of an overdose and he was left alone with no family to turn to. Luke fended for himself just as he had taken care of his mother by continuing to live off the streets through the pockets of others.
However, this all ended in a single night. Luke came across an elderly man and based from his appearance, he looked to be someone who was well endowed in terms of wealth. For some reason, it seemed to he had wandered off from whatever extravagant soiree he was from. Seeing this as an opportunity that he couldn't pass up, Luke nonchalantly approached the elderly man as he attempted to empty his pockets. Unfortunately, things did not work out as expected; apparently, everything that had just happened was a well-devised plot. The man Luke had tried to steal from was actually a government official who was tasked to search for and capture Unnaturals. Upon realizing what was taking place, Luke knew that he had to flee the scene, but before he could, he was given an offer. In exchange for his freedom, not only will he be sheltered and given sufficient amounts of provision, he would also be trained and given an appropriate education. The only thing they would ask for in return was for him to work for the government. Given his current life, Luke had no reason to decline such an offer.
As the years passed, Luke lived as some sort of mercenary, tracking down other Unnaturals, giving them the same opportunity he was offered, capturing those who struggled to escape, and terminating the few others who rebelled.
After the Civil War, Luke's outlook on the life he was currently living soon changed. He was no longer the person he used to be several years ago. He realized that ever since he associated himself with the government, he was never truly free. He was a mere pawn who obediently took orders from those above him. However, this was no longer the case. Given the opportunity the Civil War had presented to him, Luke fled from the confines of the government and sought refuge alongside many other escapees and Unnaturals.
Other: Throughout the years spent under the guidance of the government, Luke was given sufficient training in both unarmed and armed combat and was well versed in knowledge regarding all fields of zoology and certain aspects of human anatomy and physiology. Luke remains a skilled thief and pick pocket and his other notable traits would include his eidetic memory, fondness for animals, and love for spicy food.
