Personal Style:Lukas likes to be comfortable no matter the situation. His choice of clothing is simple, cheap and comfortable - if not stylish. He isn't much for dressing up, other than wearing slacks or dress shoes in formal situations. Lukas is most comfortable in khaki shorts or flannel shirts and jeans and simply looking more like a father than a model.
Flannels, graphic tees and dark jeans are usually what he wears, and can always be found in such. Depending on the weather or climate, he can be seen in either a beanie or with flip flops (though never with socks, god no the atrocity!) Lukas' personal grooming is also somewhat simple: a stubble to frame his sculpted jawline is all he leaves, never letting it grow past the stubble stage but never seen bare-faced.
Sweet * Dreamy * Pushover * Over-protective
Sexuality:Heterosexual
Relationship Status:Single/Widowed
Personality:Luka can easily be described as a papa-bear by some. He dotes on his young son, often being overly concerned and protective of his child as if he feared losing him (which is mostly true, not that Lukas would admit it though). He's a family man, keeping in touch with his parents and cherishing moments with his son whenever he can, and will often not take to people that look down on single fathers or highly judgemental people. Luka has an odd, charming personality that may or may not be due to his Italian heritage, often charming people with sincere compliments and a sweet smile (which Lukas is proud to announce that Brendan inherited).
However, in conversations he can appear to be aloof, or dreamy, as if his mind's in a different world all-together. Which may be true, in some sense, that he is a highly imaginative person. Lukas loves to be optimistic, no matter the situation and strives to motivate his son with his happy-go-lucky personality. However, if Lukas cares enough, he can easily be manipulated into saying yes no matter what - just as Brendan and his many Lego sets.
History:Antonio Lukas Jackson was born on a gloomy, rainy Spring day to an Italian construction worker and American house-wife. Despite the gloomy weather Luka was anything but a gloomy, miserable child. Always the smiley, considerate child with a polite tongue, Lukas captured the hearts of many cooing mothers by the age of four.
His childhood was nothing spectacular, he moved from Italy with his family to live in a small, conservative town off the Texan border which fuelled his mother's interest in religion and bible, eventually trying to get him to be a man of faith and possibly join the local church. Instead, Luka met Viola Andrews in high school, one year below him who was just as enamoured as he was and eventually became high school sweet hearts, moving out of the Texan town to the more busy streets of Vegas for work opportunity.
At the first given moment they could, the two had a cheap Vegas wedding with just the two involved and had their first child two years later: a little boy named Brendan. Just like his father, Brendan is a sweet, cute young man that was a complete mama's boy. Sadly, their happy family weren't supposed to last and eventually Viola passed away due to an unfortunate car accident after being hit by a drunk driver. Deciding to start his life anew, Lukas and Brendan moved to California when Brendan was only three years old. Lukas took a job at the local restaurant as their head chef, the wages barely enough to keep the small family going through their day.
One day, Lukas got a small manilla envelope shoved through the letter box, opened to reveal a ticket to some Castle/Resort thing all the way off to Africa. At first, Lukas was ready to get rid of the tickets until he found out it was a gift from his mother, who just wanted her son to be happy and find a mother to care for his son just as much as Viola had. So, Lukas dropped his son off at Mama Jackson's place, leaving her in his care before jetting off to Africa in hopes to find someone suitable for his baby boy.
