History: With the right hat and a baggy pair of pants Luka’s father could have passed for Mech. On the other hand, Luka’s mother had very few Mech traits, aside from her oddly human eyes, short ears and distinct nose. Both came from a long line of mixed blood families, so it is little surprise that Luka turned out to be such a mutt.
The result of a one night stand, Luka, being the oddball of the litter, was sent to an orphanage on the outskirts of the city. As a child it was unclear whether Luka would ever fit into Koshka society. He spent his childhood in and out of orphanages, usually on the streets, but adolescence finally brought the changes needed for Luka to find acceptance in Koshka society, if only as a half breed.
Personality: A brave, compassionate Koshka he nonetheless gets into trouble, probably due to an over-developed sense of adventure. Usually soft-spoken, easily roused to shouting when angry, loving and gentle in intimate relationships yet a failure at commitment, fiercely defensive of personal honor, even to the point of physical violence, there are many sides to Luka but his most distinguishing trait is earnest passion.
Daredevil or cautious: A daredevil who tends to think things through first, though not always.
Do they act the same alone as when with someone?: Absolutely not.
Drinks: Whiskey; water when he’s sober.
Greatest Strength: Throughout his difficult childhood, Luka survived by cultivating self-confidence and the belief that he was worth more than his true parents ever knew. Although still occasionally tainted by doubt, his belief in himself is by far his greatest strength.
Greatest Weakness: The constant need to prove himself.
Soft spot: Often coming off as grumpy, he has a sweet heart and loves company.
How they feel about themselves: Luka has mixed feelings about himself. While he believes in himself and feels proud of his Koshka heritage, his lack of claws causes him to feel secretly emasculated in front of other Koshka and he longs for a bushier tail and ears covered in more than just fuzz.
If granted one wish what would it be, why?: To be seen for what he truly is. While this does not necessarily mean he wishes to be a full-blooded Koshka, he would like to be recognized as Koshka rather than “half breed.”
Introvert or extrovert: Highly extroverted.
Talents: Physically he’s stronger than your typical Koshka, but less agile. As a mechanic his extra physical strength comes in handy for unscrewing stubborn bolts and carrying around heavy parts. He writes well, though he doesn’t realize it, because he’s never shown his journals to anyone before.
Good characteristics: He’s compassionate and always willing to help.
Character flaws: He is hateful of Mechs and distrustful of other cross breeds, especially those with few Koshka features. Whether this hatred stems from issues with his father or his desire to see himself as a full blooded Koshka in spite of his parentage is difficult to say, though it is likely a result of both.
Mannerisms: Luka talks with his eyes, usually keeping his hands very still. Like most Koshka he expresses emotions with his ears and tail.
What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: He’s very fond of his tail and all the fluff on his body (admittedly, there’s not much), but his favorite trait is his white hair. Since his hair is the same color as his body it makes him look and feel as if he’s furrier than he is.
The worst one? Why?: His finger and toe nails, because they set him apart from other Koshka.
