general appearance - Lukas is tall and slender, with fairly broad shoulders. His chest is slightly wide compared to his slender hips, and though he is a tall boy, his legs are a little short on his body compared to his long torso. His arms are long and not too muscular, with long, slender hands and fingers. His face is fairly rounded though long, and framed by short, dark brown sideburns and shaggy dark hair. His bangs often obscure his right eye, and though he’s constantly flipping them out of the way or tucking them back, he refuses to get them cut in a different manner, much to his mother’s irritation. His eyes are almond-shaped and a light amber brown surrounded by thick eyelashes (and often a thick line of eyeliner, also much to his mother’s irritation), under thick dark eyebrows. His nose is a little wide in his face, and his lips full.

When Lukas walks, he lets his shoulders hunch in just slightly and walks quickly with a slight jaunty bounce. If he’s upset or worried, his pace slows and the bounce all but disappears, his shoulders hunching further, as if he wants to fold inward and disappear on himself. Otherwise, he is happy and almost eager in his demeanor and loves to be the center of attention, keeping those around him laughing and cheerful all the time. He's partial to the "skater" style of clothing, though occaisionally he goes for a more conservative look. He found, after much searching, that the style looked best on his odd frame, and became fond of it. He has been teased here and there by other wearers of the fashion in Aurora who actually skate, but it doesn't bother him. In general, Lukas wears what looks good, whether it's skater or more conservative.

general personality - Lukas is a fun-loving person. He seeks to make those around him happy and get them laughing. He’s very intelligent, and enjoys schoolwork and learning. Unlike some, Lukas does not pretend to not like school to seem cool; he doesn’t hide his nerdiness. It’s what makes Lukas, Lukas.

When among friends, he’s outgoing and social, seeking to make those around him enjoy his company, but when he’s at home alone, he’s a quiet and introverted boy. While he enjoys entertaining, he also likes a fair amount of privacy. He does not have many friends he really trusts with his true self, preferring to keep it to himself and please others rather than share his feelings and beliefs with anyone but those he most trusts. Strangely enough, though he doesn’t approve completely of his brother’s scene, he shares a lot with Donovan and trusts him. They are fairly close siblings.

Lukas is quick to make friends but slow to trust them, preferring instead to avoid talking about himself until he’s sure he can trust them. He’s quite modest, and is embarrassed at praise, though accepts it gracefully. Lukas is dorky to the core, with an avid addiction to video games and sci-fi everything. When he likes something, he goes farther than most in learning about the behind-the-scenes, actors, writers, technical aspects, trivia and little known facts about whatever it is he likes. Not one for the party scene, Lukas will occaisionally attend the parties of his raucous classmates, but doesn’t partake of drugs or alcohol, usually leaving after an hour or so to return home and browse the internet or read. Most have stopped teasing him for this fact, as it’s just a given now that Lukas is sober through and through, but occaisionally he’s prodded about his reluctance.

history

mother - Gloria Adams
father - David Adams
siblings - Donovan Adams
pets - A bulldog, Marmaduke, that is thoroughly attached to Donovan.
children - None; Lukas is a virgin, so it’d be pretty impossible.
hometown - Aurora, Indiana.
general history - Lukas was born to Gloria and David Adams in Aurora, Indiana, their second child. Their first, Donovan, was nearly two years old, and a handful of a tyke. As the boys grew older, Lukas was often in the shadow of his older brother’s mischief, the quiet child. His parents were grateful for a little peace. He was a happy child, constantly surrounded by cousins and his brother to play with, and spoiled to death by his parents. He was a shy child, though once his wild cousins initiated friendships he let himself be caught up in their mischief, happily going along with their plans. Friendships came easily. Once home, he would quietly read or watch cartoons, but in the presence of family, he let go and let himself be caught in the moment of pure childish happiness.
Lukas was a good student and made very good grades all throughout school, often being teased and called the teacher’s pet when he was awarded yet another paper with a gold star or the like, but he wasn’t embarrassed about his love for school. His quiet confidence in his intelligence kept the teasing at bay and he found he was able to fit into any group he was shoved into, for the most part. As he grew older, Lukas was able to continue blending with all groups through his humor and friendliness, though he never made strong friends with any one person or group. He was (and is) a drifter, always kind and friendly to everyone and with no enemies he is aware of. If Lukas has a problem with someone, he usually keeps it to himself, not wishing to make enemies out of anyone.
When Donovan began drifting into the party scene, Lukas drifted further from his brother than normal, not approving of his brother’s scene and newfound arrogance, though he kept his thoughts to himself, for the most part. Lukas continued his legacy as the loveable nerd that seemed to blend in wherever he went; a veritable chameleon, never letting anyone see his true color. With more kids, newly forming cliques and harsher outlooks in Aurora High school, will Lukas make the transition smoothly, or are his blending powers rapidly fading in the face of this new scene?

other

other - Nothing, really.
role play example - As usual, the inhabitants of numbers Eleven and Thirteen on Grimmauld Place, did not notice that number twelve was currently stretching out into existence between them, a magic ward keeping them completely oblivious as they watched television or readied for bed.

A figure stood on the sidewalk in front of the building, watching this transformation with a somber expression, waiting until the last brick had slid into place to ascend the steps and slip into the front door. The click as it shut behind him echoed through the air, and Number Twelve Grimmauld Place slowly shrank back into obscurity again.

With a soft sigh, a coat was shrugged off and hung on a rickety old hat rack near the front door. Taking care to walk as quietly as possible down the hallway, past a large portrait covered by a set of musty curtains, he slipped into the dining area.

Collapsing into one of the chairs around the worn wooden table, Remus Lupin pulled his wand from his pocket and wearily summoned a bottle of butterbeer. It skidded toward him across the table and he made sure to stop it before it kept going and went right over the edge.

His eyes lingered for a moment on a particular spot several feet down the table, where it was clear some sort of sharp object, such as a knife, had been stuck quite solidly. A familiar laugh echoed in his mind, the clink of glasses rang through the room, and for a moment the room felt inhabited. But only for a brief moment; a second later, Remus was entirely alone again. Tearing his eyes away, he tipped the bottle to his lips and drank deeply.

Pointedly avoiding looking at that end of the room in general, Remus finished off his butterbeer, leaving the bottle on the table as he trudged toward the staircase, his footsteps echoing in the eerily silent house as he ascended. With one last wary glance around the corridor, Remus shut his bedroom door quietly, making sure to lock it securely before collapsing onto his bed.

His wand hit the nightstand, his shoes clattered to the floor, and he drifted off into yet another night of restless sleep full of nightmares, lucid and troubling, full of strangely fluid veils and corridors upon corridors glowing menacingly with shelves laden with the most precious cargo; fates.
