If there’s a word that can define Luke’s appearance, that’s casual. His hair – long to above his shoulders – frames a face that looks sweet despite the stubble and the several scars he has on it – mainly consequence of several street fights. He’s strong, his arms are muscular, but his clothes are too tight for you to notice. Often, you’ll find him wearing a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a half unbuttoned shirt, and never anything too fancy. He has several tribal tattoo on his left arm.

Luke is, overall, a simple person. He doesn’t need much to be happy, simple things like a sunset or the strarry night are enough to make him feel alive. Always patient, and being known for his perseverance, when he wants something he doesn’t stop until he gets it. That’s probably the reason why most of the people, - mainly his family – calls him stubborn, something that annoys him to no end. His rational side helps him to think before acting.

However, Luke has a lot of faults that he prefers to call ‘little things he needs to improve before being perfect’. He tends to judge people before knowing them, something that often leads him to all sort of trouble. Carefree and careless, he doesn’t care about his future or anything related with settling down. He's, mostly, somebody who enjoys living.

Luke grew up in Pleasant Port into a very Christian family, and remembers his childhood as that happy period of time when he didn’t have to worry about anything. Not that he worries about anything now, but before it had the plus of the innocence, and the curiosity of somebody who has not lived enough to know that life is not as happy as the books for children try to paint it.

He attended High School, and when he was 15 he began to work in the local auto repair shop. He had always liked anything related with speed – cars, motorbikes –and learnt pretty quickly. His goal was to get enough money to travel around the world during a whole year without worrying about anything. Of course, that was only a teen’s dream.

During his whole life he has only loved one girl, Jacqueline. They dated for nine months, and after an intense relationship they got married in Holy Trinity Church. They were married for 2 years and 7 months, and five months ago (May 2006) she asked for the divorce. The reasons of the divorce are different depend on which of the sides you ask. If you ask Luke, he's going to tell you that he wasn't made for a serious relationship and she was getting too demanding with him. If you ask her, she's going to talk you about some stuff related with drugs. Whatever is the correct version, none of the residents of Pleasant Point will probably never find out.

He was addict to drugs for 3 years (from 2002 to 2005), which really affected his marriage with Jackie. On February 2008 he was arrested and went to jail for a couple of months, accused of sexual harassment to his ex-wife. He just got out on parole.

Character	Why they know each other?
	Luke met Ashley at the pool club. They've flirted, and even if he'd like to go further with her that's all that happened between them so far.
	Luke and Adela have an interesting history. They slept together before her parents died, when she was 19. He was 24 at the time. There was no relationship other than a physical one. When Adela's friend found out, he and Luke got into a fight as Tim felt Luke was taking advantage of Adela . They never really got the chance to deal with the situation as her parents died and she moved away soon after. They never mentioned what happened between them and have not interacted a lot since she returned, as a result of a lingering hatred between Tim and Luke, but whenever they do there is always an undercurrent of sexual tension.
	During the Pumpkin Fest, Luke offered a joing to Justin without knowing he was the son of his boss. Still now, Luke thinks that the guy's face sounds familiar to him, but he can't recall who is he
	Luke met Mahogany by chance, when both of them get into the local video store (that happened on Halloween day). They talked for a while and they connected somehow. That night they hang out together at the Pumpkin Fest dance. Even if they don't know each other pretty well yet, Luke can see her becoming a good friend.
	Luke and Gus attended high school together. They weren't what you'd call friends, but they both liked to get drunk and attend parties, so they interacted in several occasions. After high school they never talked again, until Luke went to to the barber shop to get a haircut and found out that Gus was back in Pleasant Port

Character	Why they know each other?

On February 2007 Luke got in jail, accused of sexual harassment to her.
	Alex is Jackie's boyfriend, enough reason for Luke to hate him. On New Year's day they had a fight at Jackie's place when he went to pick up some of his stuff that was still there.
	Tim is what Luke would consider an enemy. Tim never liked the fact that Luke slept with Adela, and because of that they had a fight several years ago.

Justin Parker: "He gives me some hope for getting older. Aging doesn't have to mean getting boring and dull."

Oliver Gordon: "I don't know which is the problem with Luke. He could have the great life his sister had, but he always seemed to run away from everything, from everybody. He's my brother-in-law, but I've got the feeling that I don't know him at all. Sometimes he's like a complete stranger to me".

Tim Jenkins: "This guy has a real problem, he confuses being immature with being cool".

Allison Hodge: "Luke is hot as hell and that's all I gotta say about him. Or no wait, with the risk to get cheesy... He's also a great friend to have."

Emily Gray: "I don't know Luke very well but he still makes me nervous and feel like I'm in high school again."

Jesse Thompson: "I always thought he was kind of a loser, but who knows... maybe he's changed?"

Jacqueline Sanders: "He's a good guy, it just didn't work out..."

Fletcher Montgomery: "He's a total asshole. He has to be if he treats a sweet girl like Jackie that bad. I don't know what she ever saw in him."
