Yes I have Mare
Please don't approach me in-character, I much prefer to talk about the scenario before we begin.
Bisexual
I prefer to RP through discord, but I am trying to branch out and do more in-game stuff.
If you don't know for sure how I feel about the kink or scenario, please ask.
F-list upon request
In Regards to Luka specifically: Note that he is basically a hermaphrodite. AKA he has both types of junk between his legs. I'm not going to change this for people who aren't into it. Take him or leave him
I am willing to RP almost any scenario, since I like to try new things. I think it help character growth, as long as the writing is good enough. (aka messages at least longer than a few sentences, preferably a paragraph or two, maybe more) Just be sure to ask about the scenario first.
Wanderer Luka loves to travel the world and tends to pick up odd jobs along the way. You're fairly likely to find him anywhere, in any corner of the world he's able to reach. Perhaps this is simply a chance encounter?
Ties to Coerthas Luka has a lot of history in Coerthas, and a lot of tragic history at that. He visits the region often. Sometimes to maintain the balance of nature in the area, sometimes to visit friends no longer with him. Perhaps you can sympathize, take a little weight off his shoulders?
Ishgardian Scout Luka is occasionally asked to scout locations within Coerthas for Ishgard whenever they really need an expert on the terrain, though he's not officially a member of their military. These jobs can take anywhere from a day to a few weeks to complete. Perhaps you can offer your assistance?
Aetherial Balance Luka's aether is heavily aspected towards ice. If the balance tips too far in that direction, that could be dangerous for him and anyone around him. Can you help him maintain it?
Wildlife Protector Luka is no longer responsible for watching over Coerthas, but he still cares deeply for nature everywhere. Often this means caring for injured wildlife he encounters, but he can't be an expert on them all. Are you? Could you assist him?
Unpredictable Heats If you're thinking of something spicier, maybe he could be too. His heats no longer follow a schedule and strike at random, for unpredictable amounts of time. Sometimes a few days, sometimes weeks. The only warning anyone gets that one is about to hit is that his eyes turn red. That, followed by the balance of his aether shifting drastically away from ice and towards fire. Maybe you can help him recover from it even faster, in the most direct way?
AU's
Balanced Aether - Luka if the Calamity hadn't directly affected him. He's a simple conjurer guarding his chosen section of the Dravanian woods, leading a solitary lifestyle there. He's unversed in etiquette and entirely unsocialized after spending so much time alone. His heats still follow the same cycle they used to, so he knows when to hide himself away. Not that he's in the habit of revealing himself in the first place. Rarely, he can be spied by the occasional adventurer among the trees, or up in the mountains.
Ishgardian Soldier - Luka if he had remained in Ishgard and joined their army in an official capacity. Somber and competent, he surveys territory for the nation and spends his free time at home, taking care of the odd injured animal he chances across.
Monster Slayer - Luka if he had remained in his nearly-feral state after the Calamity and was never taken in by Ishgard. A ruthless hunter who that slays any and all beast that threaten the wildlife, he doesn't mince words or waste strikes. Easily Luka in his most unhinged state, taking what he wants when he wants and sticking to the wilds.
Backstory
He lived like any other traditional Viera. He guarded his forest and rarely spoke with others, let alone other non-Viera for decade upon decade. In fact, he had forgotten his birthname.Seeing as the forest he used to watch over were the forests of Coerthas, he was the only Viera living in the area. Even before the calamity turned them into snowfields, the trees were barely thick enough to call a forest in the first place, so he was the only one necessary. He had no complaints about it, and in fact enjoyed his solitary life. Trained in the sword, archery, and conjury he was entirely self-sufficient and did his job as a forest watcher to the best of his ability. Until The Calamity scattered everything.When the climate of Coerthas changed, the ecosystem was sent into chaos. The Viera did his best to protect the wildlife of the area, but with so many monsters suddenly running wild he had little control over the situation. In the days following he may as well have been locked in a state of shock. Everything he had ever known had been uprooted in an instant, through no fault of his own. The one animal he was able to save with his efforts was a baby sparrow, one he took in and raised on his own.In the aftermath something in him broke. Mentally as well as physically. Like the climate of Coerthas had changed with the aether, so too had his. Living in the same span of forest for 100+ years had attuned him to the area's aether so distinctly that the changes wrought in it were also wrought in him. His heart slowed, his body grew colder, his own aether aspected heavily to ice. The color of his eyes becomes an icy blue, different from the earthy green they were before.As well, the shift in his aether lead to a shift in his aptitude with magic. He lost much of his affinity for conjury with the change, no longer able to channel the powers of earth or water, only wind. His power to heal diminished slightly as well. On the other hand, he now had a natural affinity for ice magic, one he eventually learned to wield as proficiently as the elements he had lost.Additionally, he soon found his heats no longer followed a cycle, but came and went at random. Whenever they arrive the only warning is that his eye color shifts to a fiery red. This is soon followed by a complete flip in his aether, aspecting it heavily to fire and granting him increased affinity to fire magic as opposed to ice. In such a state, his heats make him liable to accidentally set things ablaze if he fails to control himself.Mentally however, where he used to be a gentle guardian the Viera now went on rampages against the monsters which still raged through what had once been a vibrant forest. A way to manage his anger whenever he felt helpless, which was often. He would frequently return to wherever he had set up camp with cuts and bruises scattered across his body, soaked in blood that wasn't his. The bird, whom he had named 'Twig' always waiting for him, almost seeming panicked on the Viera's behalf.This activity went on for months, whenever he felt the urge. Occasionally it even coincided with his heats, which would lead to...a different type of stress relief for him. Just as violent for the monsters in the end, far more pleasing for Luka.Eventually Ishgard was forced to take notice of him and track him down. Word of a monster stronger than the rest skulking about at night had been attributed to the Viera, and threats like that can't go overlookedA certain white-haired Elezen soldier was the one to approach him, alone. He was offered a choice. Be taken into custody, or take an offer of a new life in Ishgard. Reluctantly, he accepted a life in the city. As is tradition for Viera, he adopted a new name upon assimilating with civilization, the name of Luka. Simple, as was his wont, but befitting the culture he would be spending the foreseeable future among. Or so he was told.In the following years Luka lived among the Ishgardians, with Twig coming with him. He still preferred a quieter life and rarely spoke to others, save for the man who had brought him there. Haurchefant, he said his name was. He had insisted on continuing to speak and Luka didn't have the endurance to refuse him over and over again.Luka spent years there in Ishgard, gradually warming to the place and it's people in spite of his reclusive nature. When he first got ideas of leaving to explore the wider world, it had come as a shock to everyone who knew him. The slow trickle of information into Ishgard thanks to it's closed borders was still enough to make him curious, but only once the borders were finally opened again was he was granted leave to travel, thus he set out on his own with Twig by his side.
Heavensward
Having been the person to bring Luka in from the wild, Haurchefant felt obliged to keep contact, to Luka's occasional annoyance.
The two took a lot of time to grow closer, and even until Haurchefant's death Luka hadn't realized exactly how much he had valued him as a friend.
Haurchefant's death motivated Luka to take a personal stake in the Dragonsong War. He served as something of an honorary soldier, often using his deep knowledge of the land and climate-compatible body to serve as a scout for Ishgard.
An influx of new people into Ishgard after the opening of it's borders is what motivates Luka to start exploring after the war. he finds such a wide variety of people fascinating, so he goes on to travel the world, seeing as much of it as he can. Also, he assumes this is what Haurchefant would have wanted him to do after such a reclusive beginning.
Stormblood
Luka spent most of his time before the war against Garlemald started again in earnest wandering the area near Kugane. Occasionally he even ventured into imperial territory in Doma, then beyond to the Steppe.
Once the Scions arrive in Kugane, it's there that they meet Luka. Hancock had somehow known of him and volunteered him as a guide for them. Luka accepted, under the condition they return the favor somehow. That favor ended up being returning to Eorzea with the scions under the promise that whenever they go somewhere new, he's invited along.
Shadowbringers
Luka returned to fight for the knights of Ishgard during the war with Garlemald, again serving as a scout in areas not in open warfare. This time Luka decided that Twig is old enough and well-trained enough to assist him as an eye in the sky.
Endwalker
Naturally Luka traveled to Garlemald with the Alliance, but coordinated with the Scions while there. He performed scouting duties into areas Thancred hadn't been sent.
Followed the Scions to Thavnair per their agreement, remains there through the final days until the end of the crisis, locating and rescuing survivors.
