Physical Description:

Where do we begin? Appearance is never a fun section to write out, as there are so many little odds and ends to point out that it can become a little ridiculous. But we'll try to make this coherent and straight forward. Like all people in this world, Luke has his own unique appearance that is not shared by anybody else in the world. Every person's appearance is their own, aside from twins, and their looks is one of the things that makes them unique. Luke's own appearance stands out a bit, a stark contrast to what he wants.

Now then, to get started let's talk about the first part people see when they see this young man. Luke's face is one blessed by good genetics and healthy eating habits, a face that is fair and easy to look at, pleasing to the eyes. His has an angular shape to it, his chin ending in a point. His skin is smooth, Caucasian, and luckily isn't blemished by an existing scars on his face, though Luke wouldn't really care if his appearance was damaged somehow. Looks really aren't a big deal to him.

Atop his head rests his messy and barely kept hair. Luke takes some care of his hair, but not much more than simply washing and combing it. His hair, naturally, is rather disorganized and can become rather crazy if allowed to grow too long, so he takes measures to control it by getting his hair cut often enough. His hair grows fast, and is rather thick as well, so it's best to get it trimmed when needed. His hair is dark in color, some people think its black and some people think it's just a very dark shade of brown. Either or, Luke really doesn't care. It's dark hair. Though kept short, his hair does have some pointy bits to it, like most hair does these days.

Talking about his eyes though, let's start on that topic. Eyes are often described as being windows for the soul, a reflection of someone's innermost being. What is it that is reflected out from Luke's eyes? Hope, confidence, passion, commitment and determination. Luke’s eyes reflect the message he wants to deliver. He normally has ochre, a beautiful shade of brown, eyes that look back at you. When the Bount blood inside him becomes fired up, his brown eyes will become emblazoned amber perfectly displaying the ferocity that hides inside him. His eyes are shaped rather intensely as well, his brow often furrowed to add to his own intense appearance. When in battle and using his reiatsu, his brown eyes almost seem to glow with flickering lights.

When it comes to the emotions his face conveys, the most often is that of disinterest or agitation. More often than not Luke will bare his teeth like an angry hound at whomever it is causing him the discomfort. Luke often conveys emotions of anger and discomfort, a shame really as a face like his should be smiling rather than scowling. He'd have actual luck with women if he smiled more. When he does actually smile though, it's something to behold. His smiles are gentle, innocent, and are a treasure that is rarely shown. When it comes to his ears, he has a very touchy relationship with them. They're round, and stick out a bit, almost like small monkey ears. This, and something else, has often led to Luke being, playfully, called a "monkey" or "monkey boy". He hates it. He hates the name and his stupid ears.

When it comes to the young man's reiatsu it shares the same intensity as the young man's personality and appearance. When he has lost control over his emotions in battle, thus causing his reiatsu to flurry up around him, as if the young man has been ensnared in a flame of some sorts. Making sense with the amount of anger inside of the young man, his reiatsu takes on a teal green color, easily dwarfing out other lights and illuminating the dark. His eyes also share in this lack of control, his irises beginning to glow with the same teal color as his reiatsu. But besides that, there is a small transformation that occurs when Luke fights or uses his reiatsu. See, when engaged in battle or using reiatsu, his pupils will narrow like those of a cats or some kind of predator.

Now let's move down and talk about the other parts of Luke's appearance; his body. The young man stands six feet and an inch tall, a decent height for any young man. Coupled with broad shoulders and a fitting form, Luke is the model for someone looking to develop a body from constant activity. His is one that has been earned through rigorous hours of hard work and training. Physical activity does that to the body, it prepares and grows it. While Luke doesn't generally go to a gym (they're expensive) he's able to get away with maintaining a well made body because of the physical labor he goes at work.

As stated before his shoulders are broad and his chest is thick. Beneath his clothing is a body ripped with muscle, yet not enough to cause him to be needlessly massive. He maintains a slim body, one befitting someone who does a lot of running or swimming. The young man's arms have filled out quite a bit from a combination of his employment in physical labor when it comes to jobs, and working out on his own time. Beneath his shirt, one will get a look at a series of hardened and developed muscles and a flat stomach. Two nipples rest on a rather hairless chest, a darker shade of pink that most normally are.

Speaking about his shirt, what sort of clothing does Luke wear? Generally Luke just wears his work outfit, as he spends as many hours as he can working instead of doing things for himself. As a result, Lukes clothing will often change since his jobs often change as well. But when he does have hours off what sort of clothing does he prefer to wear? Luke, oddly enough, prefers clothing that covers him up. Not like thick and super baggy clothes, but Luke doesn't like having too much exposed skin. He generally goes around in jeans, as well as a one size larger tshirt underneath a dark colored jacket. He dresses rather simply, and even doesn't have that many clothes. He has 2x the number of underwear than his combined total of shirts and pants.

Casual Clothing Outfit

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personality

Dislikes:

• ”Funny” People: There are people in this world who are funny, and then there are those who are just so obnoxiously not funny. Luke hates these people, the ones who do nothing but misquote lines from a comedy, or do some sort of annoying voice to try and be funny.
• Losing: There is nothing more devastating to Luke than losing in a fight. It's more than just a blow to his pride, or a show that his skills were not good enough. Luke’s entire goal is to become stronger so that he can become a hero capable of stopping any evil that might appear. Losing shows him that he’s not reached that point yet.
• Smoking: Not only is it expensive in the long run but it’s absolutely terrible for your health. What’s more, there’s not a lot in the world that smells completely worse than cigarette smoke. Especially when you have heightened senses.
• Aevus: The jackass that initially trained him. Yes, Luke appreciates and owes Aevus for what he’s done for him...but holy shit is that dude a prick. His training method generally involved Luke trying to keep himself from getting slashed or penetrated by flying swords. The dude was a fucking animal and Luke is, like, certain Aevus had a man crush on him. Aevus is a jackass and a bastard and a whole lot of other nasty names, but Luke owes him.
• Jäger: Annoying. Immature. Perverted. Not at all funny, and has a tendency to get Luke into trouble.
• His Mother: So many questions and mixed feelings about this person. Why would a mother abandon her child? Why didn’t she tell Luke that he was a Bount? Luke isn’t sure he hates his mother, but he certainly has a lot of bottled up and unresolved anger towards her. Chances are he’ll hit her when he sees her again.
• Hollows: They’re monsters, what else is there to say? They roam the streets eating people and looking for their next meal. They used to be a legitimate threat for the Bount but now are little more than mere annoyances for him to crush. At least he gets paid to do so.

Likes:

• Going drinking: Luke likes to drink, and he's started to realize he likes social interaction as well. He likes to drink with friends, and to him a casual date would even be getting drunk and doing something fun. He's not an alcoholic though. He drinks, maybe, once a week or so.
• Cooking: Perhaps a surprise to most people who learn about this is that Luke is actually a pretty good cook. Considering the small income he used to have, Luke had to learn how to make the food he is able to afford both taste the best and be worth it. Sure, he's not Gordon Ramsey or anyone like that, but Luke is able to cook up simple meals like tamago-kake-gohan or other simple meals and make them taste delicious. He loves to cook, especially for other people.
• Cardio: His preferred method of working out is to go on runs. Running clears his mind and helps him work off a lot of his stress.
• Cats: While he also likes dogs, Luke's found he prefers the independence of cats. Dogs take too much time and effort and want more attention than Luke can afford to give right now. So he prefers cats.
• Swords: The weapons that he has the most affinity with, Luke enjoys collecting and admiring swords.
• Noodles: Ramen, udon, soba, none of it really matters. Luke loves himself a nice warm bowl of noodle soup.
• Wearing sweaters or jackets: Luke prefers to wear jackets, sweaters, or other long sleeved outfits. Luke isn't that much of a fan showing off too much of his skin, maybe because of his lack of confidence with attracting the opposite sex.
• Bloodborne: While Luke doesn't play a lot of video games, this is one that he really, really, likes. He's bad at it...but he has a lot of fun with it.
• Women: Should be no surprise Luke likes women. His game might be trash but he still tries every now and then. He's a bit of a romantic, so when he finds a girl he likes he ends up swooning for them a bit too easily.
• Uzaki Enterprises: While his initial reasons for joining where selfish, since growing and spending more time with the org Luke has grown a fondness for his place of employment.
• His Coworkers: His real friends and the reason he likes UE so much.
• Fighting: Maybe it's because he was a delinquent when he was younger, or because he's a Bount, but Luke actually enjoys fighting. The reasons for a fight and the stakes involved might be dire, but Luke will find a primal enjoyment in the fight.
• Not being poor: Uzaki Enterprises pays well, so Luke is finally out of the poor house.

Flaws:

• ”Virgin”: Luke is not a virgin, lets get that straight despite what Jäger says. The Bount had a very, very, awkward and short relationship with a girl in highschool that he went to prom with and who, after their first night together, told him that she just realized she was gay. Regardless, Luke is very bad with women. He doesn’t handle flirting with confidence, becoming a blushing bumbling mess when a woman shows him some attention. It isn’t something he’s used to at all and it shows. He’s inexperienced as hell. And also lacks any confidence in himself downstairs.
• Guilt ridden: The birth of Luke’s heroic ideals did not come about from him wanting to be a good person. It comes from a deep rooted guilt that weighs heavily on his shoulders. The people that died because he couldn’t do anything to save them, and the people he killed, are always remembered every day. While Luke may smile and tell you “Who needs a reason to be a good person” he’s a hero born from regret and guilt.
• Swears a lot: It is no secret that Luke has a foul mouth. He has no issues with dishing out a swear word even when it is not appropriate. His particularly favorite words, actually, are "shit" and "ass".
• Commitment Issues: If Luke is preoccupied with some sort of project or goal he has a absolute issue with keeping in contact with or keeping up to date with others. He will completely push someone out of his life if he goes long enough without keeping in touch with someone. How he deals with a relationship though...that remains to be seen.
• Easily stressed out: Luke is rather easy to stress out, which makes his personality take a turn for the worse. Despite his race, Luke is not actually used to the spiritual side of existence, or the battles that take place in it, and as a result he can become rather stressed in a fight. Sure, he loves to fight after discovering his powers, and he wants to help people, but Luke is still new to all of this. When backed into a corner, emotionally or in a fight, he has a tendency to panic if he can’t get a grip.
• Tends to use people: By this he means that Luke has a tendency to use people if they will help him get stronger. He’ll forge temporary, easily broken, bonds with the person in question if it helps him in his pursuit of power. And when he gets what he wants from them he moves on, forgetting them and not looking back. Though there are instances were Luke attaches to someone for more reasons than beyond getting power. But, in the end, Luke’s goal is to become strong enough to make amends for his sins...not have a happy ending.
• Lactose Intolerant: If you give this boy milk, or anything dairy, he is going to spend at a minimum of an hour in the bathroom shitting his insides out. Do not do it. DO NOT DO IT.
• Identity Crisis: Luke isn’t really sure what world he belongs in. Is he human or is he a Bount? On one hand, Luke has accepted that he is not truly human. Yet, on the other, he doesn’t want to fully accept that he is a Bount and the responsibilities, and consequences, with being one. He’s afraid of becoming a monster, something that preys upon other people, and therefore has trouble accepting that he is a Bount.

Habits:

• Training: As someone who loves fighting, and whose job is to literally fight, Luke spends an abnormal amount of training to strength his physical body and spiritual abilities. He will push his body to its very limits. Luke realizes that he has a lot he needs to work on and a lot of flaws he needs to iron out so spends a lot of time trying to fix those flaws.
• Grinding his teeth: When frustrated or stressed out, Luke will do one of two things. Yell at or hit the source of his anger, or sit there quietly and grind his teeth in agitation. It's a terrible habit, one that's not good for his teeth, but...hey at least he's not yelling at anyone...right?
• Playing with Gracie: When he’s at home, Luke will spend some time playing with his cat Gracie. While he likes dogs, he prefers cats because of how independent they can be. He loves his cat, but it glad he doesn’t need to be with her 24/7.
• Going quiet: This is generally because Luke will start talking to his Dolls. Because they are mental conversations, to others it simply looks like Luke has zoned out and isn’t listening to what you are saying. In fairness, he’s probably not listening if he’s busy arguing with Jäger and his dumbfuckery.
• Watching TV: Eh, he likes watching movies. It’s a perfectly normal habit. He’s also started watching a bit of anime recently.
• Going out to eat with coworkers: Something he’s started doing recently and has fallen in love with. Whenever he gets the opportunity he loves asking the coworkers he’s close with to go out and eat and drink with him. One of his favorite japanese traditions honestly.

Fears:

• Snakes: A silly fear, but a fear none the less. Luke is terrified of snakes, which is odd considering how tough he is with other things. No fear of heights, enclosed spaces, the dark, or spiders...you know the common things. But its snakes. He's scared of snakes.
• Becoming a monster: A very close to home fear. He is terrified of the idea of becoming a vampire that prowls the streets searching for his next soul to devour. He doesn't want to become like Zan, the Bount Taka has incarcerated in the furthest depths of her club.
• The Vandenreich: What isn't there to be afraid of? They're a powerful, religious, army of Quincy hellbent on world domination and eradication of all things that they aren't. Especially Bount. Luke's learned what the Vandenreichs done to them. They're his enemies, and his goal is to see them destroyed.
• Springflut: The Doll possess catastrohpic power. One slip up, one mistake, and everything can go horribly wrong. Again. Luke's seen what Springfluts powers can do to the city around them. He's afraid of the Dolls uncontrollable powers.

Goals:

• Aim for the top: Luke is the sort of man who aims to be the very best at what he does. He always aims for greater heights. His current goal is to get as high up in Uzaki Enterprise as he possibly can. He aims to become the strongest fighter in the Human World. He aims to become the best sort of hero that he can be.
• Settle down: An impossible goal for someone with his responsibilities, but Luke still has the dream to find a wife and settle down. Like any human he seeks companionship and love, though he feels that he currently doesn’t deserve anything like that.
• Be a Hero: The fundamental and most important goal for this Bount. Initially a scared, selfish, and hateful man the tragedy of that fight with the Vandenreich Quincy transformed him into a hero. Luke has devoted himself to living his life for other people. Saving and protecting as many as he can. Defeating any spiritual evil that appears in the world. Luke aims to become a hero.
• Defeating the Vandenreich: A group that is nothing but evil. A group that must be destroyed to save the world. A group that aims to destroy the lives of anyone they come across that disagrees with them.
• Fix the Bount: Luke is determined to find a way for the Bount to be able to live without consuming the souls of the living. They deserve the right to live just as everyone else does, after all. If he can figure out a way to stop their curse of immortality then he’ll have done some good for them and the entire world.
• Find his Mother: Luke feels cheated after losing both of his parents. His father died and his mother suddenly vanished. His mother abandoned him. And after years of silence has finally reached out to Luke again with some cryptic letter. Luke simply seeks her out not for some tearful reunion with his mother...but to instead demand that she answer the many, many, questions he has towards her. Does Luke hate his mother? No. He’s very angry with her. She owes him a lot of answers.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Overall Personality:

Where do we begin with this boy? Basket case is a really applicable term when talking about Luke Clyburn. This young man is one who has been molded and shaped by the circumstances and experiences in his life. Luke is not a stable young man, under any definition. He is a young man who has not had an easy life, but is driven to make his own better.

Once upon a time Luke was a selfish, scared, angry man who wanted nothing to do with others or the Spiritual World. Conditioned by his mother to avoid and fear the things other people saw, Luke grew up feeling distant and different from everyone else. Slowly, over time, he began to become irritated and distasteful towards himself and others. He grew up to be mean and spiteful to others. This was only made worse by the unfortunate death of his father and the abandonment by his mother. Luke became a hateful, spiteful, and terrible man who could barely maintain friendships and relationships.

But now, after moving to Karakura Town and discovering what he truly is and others like him, Luke has changed. While the Bount certainly still has a sharp tongue and snappy temper, he has grown far more relaxed, kind, and compassionate to the others around him. Luke can have a firey temper, but he does what he can to keep it in check nowadays. He’s far more patient with people than he used to be, far more willing to listen to another's problem and do what he can to help, and has found that he rather enjoys hanging out with people. Being surrounded by other people like himself has allowed Luke to come out of his shell. He rather enjoys hanging out with his coworkers, getting drinks and meeting with them outside work.

He's a modern day male tsundere, not admitting to his feelings for other people. For him, actions speak louder than words. While he doesn't really speak much differently to his friends, his actions around them show that he does. Luke is fiercely loyal and protective over people he considers his friends. Risking life and limb for the people he manages to give his heart to, Luke is one of those people who is secretly great to have as a friend. He is honest, outspoken, and not afraid to tell someone what it is they need to hear. He's always ready to help his comrades in need.

He has a tendency to be sarcastic with people as well. Luke doesn’t lie, but he does keep secrets and tell half truths. He means well and is capable of being nice but often ends up being sarcastic, especially so when he gives advice. Luke has a tendency, a curse if you will, of pissing people off or having the opposite intended effect when giving people advice. He’s not the best talker. He has a tendency to be cocky and confident, but will panic or freak out if things don’t go his way or he gets put in a emotional corner. Luke is devoted and protective, and can even be a little childish at times. He’s a rather hard to hate person.

Around girls who have gotten under his skin (in the good way) Luke becomes flustered. He becomes much more interested in who they are, what they're hopes and dreams are, and begins to want to spend more time with them. Luke is interested in women who have aspirations and dreams, determination, commitment and a future they’re working towards. When it comes to dating someone he has rules he’s set for himself. He won’t be with a woman weaker than him, as he’d feel it was a unequal relationship. Luke is, unfortunately, easily smitten. He has a big, weak, heart that can easily be taken advantage of by the wrong kind of woman. But with the woman he loves?

He becomes incredibly devoted, aiming to make her the happiest woman who has ever lived. His own needs aside, he will do whatever he can to make her happy. It's not that he's being manipulated; it's that he's finally found someone to trust again and he never wants to let them go. Being abandoned by the most important woman in his life has, unfortunately, made Luke a little clingy and paranoid. It’s a flaw of his character and upbringing. He is protective...but for good reasons.

Luke is a man with incredible levels of determination and a amazingly hard working attitude. Luke is a man with not much going for him, but a whole lot to prove. As a result, there are few as driven as he is. No matter the cost or what it takes, he will complete any task that is laid out before him, even at the risk of his own death. Even with something as simple as training, Luke does not relent until his body cannot given any more. He's a man with the world against him, so he's got a lot to prove. His commitment to his tasks makes him a wonderful soldier.

Unfortunately though it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Luke carries more guilt than any one man should ever have to carry. Time and time again Luke has watched as people’s lives have been ruined and lost because he was too weak to do anything. Time after time of watching began to weigh heavily on the man, until finally one certain event finally pushed it to the breaking point. Fighting the Vandenreich woman that night and watching as his Doll Springflut caused a great deal of destruction to Karakura Town and killed who knew how many people affected the Bount.

He refused to kill himself feeling that it would be a waste of the opportunity to redeem himself and decided to walk a heroes path. Devoting himself to others. Using his life for the lives of othes. Sacrificing his well being if it means another can see tomorrow. Fighting those that use their powers for evil wherever they may turn up. Luke has heroic aspirations. He aims to become a superhero who can protect, save, and defeat as many as possible. This is Luke’s primary goal. One of his most defined characteristics.

Luke also has an identity crisis. Raised as a Human and then discovering you’re not one is rather shocking. What makes things better is when you find out that you’re actually a vampire. Luke is just not sure how he’s supposed to feel about that. Luke has been told that he will become a monster that will prowl the streets looking for his next human meal and was shown the absolute worst side of what a Bount can become. This event affected the man and caused Luke to become scared of what he can potentially become. He doesn’t want to become a monster.
