Personality: Due to years of abuse by other girls within the village Luca has come to love all things a girl should like dressing up and looking nice but she is mischievous at heart and enjoys playing with others, especially freshlings.
Biography: Born into a small border village in Frinia Luca grew up working on the farm or learning to hunt when she was allowed, though more often than not her mother would force Luca to learn about more feminine skills like sewing or cooking even if she didn't want to. While her family wanted best for her probably? The rest of the village was not as kind, especially the kids. The boys would tease and pull pranks on Luca while the girls would force Luca into super girly clothes and apply makeup or similar, Luca hated it all she just wanted to be like a boy but no one would let her. A painful yet peaceful 11 years of Lucas life, that would not stay forever. Just like any other day Luca was in her secret hiding spot, hiding away from all the other kids to rest a bit, that was until the sound of a scream echoed. Surely it was a prank to find Luca, but then another and another came one after another until multiple echoed at once, so Luca left the hiding spot to see what was happening. As soon as she came out Luca wished she had stayed in, the village was in chaos as brutes of some sort beat and bashed everything in sight, in seeing this Luca tried to run before she was noticed… only to turn around and bump straight into another bandit. In fear Luca fell to on her knees as the brute yelled out to another one about a ‘pretty one’ and ‘she would fetch a good price’ why was this happening? Why did everyone always sound the same? Fed up with it all Luca started to shout “I'M A-” but before the sentence ended a splatter of blood made Luca freeze. The bandit fell to the ground with a spear seemingly connected to the neck, with a woman on top of a flying creature holding the other side. “are you ok little girl” were the first words spoken, sadly before words could leave the mouth again Luca collapsed. Upon awakening from a lengthy slumber Luca looked around to seemingly be in a tent? With the woman she recognised as her saviour laying down beside her, with a scream Luca woke the woman who in turn gently caressed her head with words of comfort to follow. After calming down and an explanation Luca was able to learn she was saved by the Warsong birds, a female only band of mercenaries from memories of words from a traveling merchant. Oh no another mistake that Luca thought to correct, until she heard how other members talked of men… maybe later. With the thought of that little secret and nowhere else to go Luca had a chance to stay with the band, as they couldn't just ‘leave a little girl all alone’. As seasons changed Luca grew and practiced with the band learning of an affinity with the bands capabilities and the bow causing her to be completely accepted as one of their own… which in turn hastened a certain event. After a certain day when Luca had finally been accepted by her now own gryphon she had taken to her quarters to wash herself privately as she did any other time, only this time the others thought to surprise her and try to get her to feel more comfortable around them. So, when Luca had gotten undressed a small group of woman yelled ‘SURPRISE’ only to stare at Luca’s dumbfounded face… well not exactly her face. In shock and embarrassment Luca covered her private areas and dropped to her knees in tears as the group looked on in shock. “a guy” “that was a p-p-p” “no way how” “i slept in the same be-” Similar words echoed through the group as Luca sobbed while apologizing fully expecting his end for deceiving everyone. “he's so damn cute, lets keep him” The group started surrounding the crying Luca and started to hug him while patting him like a dog. Somehow through the will of the gods that's how Luca stayed in the group, turning into their mascot, and why is that? Well some rumors go around but those who have survived an attack from the Warsong Birds keep silence in fear, but fear of what they never say. -COMBAT- Level: 25

Along the train ride Matt seemed to wake up fully and beggin jittering around, it had been so long since he had last been to the seaside. Upon finally arriving after the not so eventful ride Matt had a big grin on his face, nothing could beat the beach during summer time, With his joyful stride he followed the rest of the group until Kazuki and Megumi stormed off.
As everyone decided that they needed to get ready Matt chimed in with his ever so…. Well something remarks, “I was born ready for the beach”, Walking off he let out a burst of idiotic laughter. With the group separating and reforming at an unknown rate Matt used the time to set his stuff down at the point that was seemingly decided on before stripping off all unnecessary clothing in a matter of seconds. While doing a few light stretches to warm up for the day Ryan asked a very important question, "So, what do you do at the beach normally?" and obviously Matt had the perfect answer as a beach ball was pulled out of the bag. “What else is there to do but play ball in the water” Laughing again Matt ran off to get his first taste of the cool ocean water on his body.
That was until he noticed something in the corner of his eye, which caused the head to tilt, resulting him to be momentarily paralyzed by the sight of Shizuka in her swimsuit. The end result of this would clearly be seen by everyone in the area as Matt tripped and face planted straight into the hard sand as water washed over his head soon after.
Life is all but a blur, ever since the too close for comfort exam scores (no thanks to the flunked japanese part) Matthew had all but seemingly vanished from the setting as his days were spent either working or hanging around, with the occasional visit to the clubroom to look after and even expand on the range of plants around, no matter what it seems as though that place had become a form of sanctuary for him. The latest edition looked as if it was Myostis.
Matthew had all but grown complacent as if he had forgotten about something important, though no matter if he thought on it, it was all a blur. That was until he received a message.
“Well I guess I should go”
The comfiest of beds || 01 Aug 15
*Bzzz BZZZ* “SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY” the mixture of alarms and yelling filled the once quiet room as a phone was tossed across the room. The one who threw the phone contemplated getting back into bed before he saw the time on the clock, “Oh hell no I slept in, gotta go” As the anger turned into panic the boy quickly tried to dress in the clothes prepared, almost ripping them from the rush in the process.
In the blitzed rush Matt was finally somehow was ready, and without double checking his prepacked bag he ran off out of his room…. Well nearly, as he tripped over his chair slamming the head into the door almost breaking the sunglasses sitting attop.
“Owowowowow damn it does nothing ever go right” Matt complained as he finally left for the meetup point.
Train terminal || 01 Aug 15
Running flat out towards the train terminal Matt was glad he decided to wear the runners there and leave the flip flops in the bag for later….probably.
Eventually he arrived, though he was late, while panting for breath Matt spoke up. “Sorry…. I'm… late.. Woke up late” he quickly recovered back to normal and continued “seems i woke up late again ahahaha but I still made it so that's all that counts at the end” awkwardly laughing he finally looked around the group until he went slightly red and avoided the gaze of someone.
Matt himself wore a grey tank top under an open white and blue over shirt, with his shorts already being his swimmers that were almost flashy with all the different types of blues and purples displayed.
Clear blue skies, a warm gentle breeze and the chirping of early risers painted the setting for the perfect morning for anyone submerged in nature. That was until a click of the tongue resounded and a man with a disgruntled look emerged, which was soon followed by a grumbling noise to remind the man of what was annoying him today.
“How the hell did it get away…..” The low voice clearly sounded annoyed as he mumbled.
Yesterday Reiji was planning on hunting some game for food half due to the fact his supplies started to run dry and he wanted to avoid contact with people for as long as possible, alas fate was cruel, in the late afternoon when Reiji was stalking the prey something had startled it and others around causing restlessness and in the end the wildlife bolting.
As he wandered aimlessly on the bright morning his nose started to twitch, and as any starved person would do, Reiji started to follow the scent. Stumbling towards the scent the disgruntled man came up onto a grassy meadow, which after seeing the horses made a click of realisation that this was a ranch.
“Ah good at least this place shouldn't be crowded” With a slight sigh of relief Reiji walked (stumbled) towards the ranch.
Upon entering the proximity of the buildings a horrid realization came to mind, he had no money left either. There was only one choice now in this situation… beg…. Stumbling over to someone who seemed to work at the ranch Reiji spoke in a low voice, “Uhhh could one spare some food?.... I have nothing to my name but I can do odd jobs…. I guess”
