Luke Lammergeir

[Luke Lammergeier]

Luke Lammergeier Basic Information Race: Human Birthday & Age : Winter 17th 484 AV, Age 27 Gender: Male Weight: 275 Height: 6'3 Skin: White (slightly tanned from a life traveling) Character Concept : Often too much to handle. Calling Luke crass would be putting it nicely. He is in your face and often doesn't know. (Or simply doesn't care.) When enough is enough. Drinking with Luke is inadvisable and even banned by his former teacher Kain. Beneath the jagged, sailor like exterior. You will find a loyal and often kind man. He places the group before the individual and celebrates teamwork. Luke has a tendency to try and run the ship. More out of reflex than self gain. Years of training have saw to that. To those that know Luke. Few in the world have that pleasure. You would know that there is rage and self hatred boiling just beneath the surface. It has always been there. And will always be there. Since a child he has had the issue. It has grown better with age and Kain's training. But it always threatens to choke him. Whenever he gets furious. Memories of his past life engulf him. Creating a wave of self loathing and often fits of vomiting. Luke does everything he can to keep this from others. But without Andrew and Vincent around. To help share the load. It is only a matter of time before something goes wrong. History : Growing up in an orphanage. Life was never easy for Luke. It was only made worse by the constant hunger and beatings. One of which was entirely his fault. To truly understand Luke as a man. You must look back to him as a child. Before he could comprehend much of anything. The young boy understood he was abandoned. Left to fend for himself. Either because no one wanted him or because he wasn't good enough. It wasn't long before that feeling led him to hate himself and eventually those around him. It started with the kids outside the orphanage. With parents and their perfect lives. Eating every day and never having bruises or welts. And slowly it turned to the care takers who were the first to make the children's lives hell. Then his rage, and by that time it was putrid in its intensity. Turned on the children themselves. Because they too were abandoned. Just like him. And for that he hated them with all his heart. For years he made living at the orphanage hell. And none more worse than Andrew and Vincent. They were the weakest children. No friends to help them. They only had each other. Perhaps he hated them because they had such a strong friendship. Or maybe its because they seemed to be happy. Either way he tormented them as much as possible. This continued until the accident. An unfortunate incident which left a young boy on the brink of death. No one dared to turn Luke into the authorities. Even at thirteen he was massive. But Luke knew what he did. He knew the harm he caused. The look in the boys eyes and the screams of pain. In the years to follow. Luke rid himself of the orphanage as much as possible. Only returning to eat and sleep. It wasn't until Andrew came to him. That he realized he had to go back and make up for what he did. Andrew was the child he tore up the worst. But he came to talk sense into Luke. Putting himself at great risk. He couldn't look past that kind of courage. He had to do what was right. Andrew was Luke's first true friend. He would never forget that. And has never forgotten that. The years after that were somewhat of a blur. They left the orphanage at seventeen. Luke, Andrew and Vincent sought to make their way in life with a blade in hand. Escorting villagers from one hold to the next. Their first job was somewhat of a mixed blessing. On their way to Sunberth. Escorting two merchants. They where attacked by bandits. That would of been the boy's last day on earth. If it wasn't for Luke. He stabbed one of the guards accompanying them and cut the throat of the other. In handing the merchants over. He showed initiative to their leader, Kain. Rather than killing the boys. He decided to keep them as recruits. Their new life consisted of digging trenches and fetching water. Changing the captain's chamber pot and other disgusting duties. But Luke did not falter. Nor did the other boys. Under his steady encouragement they thrived and continued to impress. Kain began training them himself. From everything to throwing a spear, to reading and writing. By the time he was twenty six years of age. He was Kain's right hand man. Andrew and Vincent where leaders in their own right. And they had plundered villages and holds from Ravok to the boarders of Endrykas. But sadly his self hate never left him. His brutal past as a child continued to haunt him. Along with the atrocities he had preformed with Kain and his bandits. Duty came before morality. But not without a heavy price... NPC's : Name: Vincent Race: Human Relationship: Blood brother of Luke Description: Vincent grew up in the same orphanage as Luke. Best friend of Andrew. He was tortured and bullied because he stood up for him. When Luke saw the errors of his way. He begrudgingly accepted him as a friend. Hardly the brightest of the three. Vincent makes up for his pig pigheadedness with courage and unwavering loyalty. An honorable man through and through. Despite his profession. Name: Andrew Race: Human Relationship: Blood brother of Luke Description: Andrew was the first to try and reach out to Luke. Despite being the target of the older boy's hatred for so many years. Ever since then they have been the best of friends. Always the thinker. Andrew puts brain before brawn. Unlike his other brothers. And now that Luke has been removed. He takes up the mantle of second in command. Name: Kain Race: Human Relationship: Leader, teacher, father role to Luke Description: Kain is an unassuming man. Mid forties with a forgettable face and average height. It serves well to conceal his overall brutal nature. He knows compassion and sympathy. He isn't a monster. He just chooses to listen to Logic instead. One is never sure where his decisions will lie. But when they settle. They cannot be changed. Physical Description : Luke has short dark hair that is often shaggy and unkempt. He always looks like he has shaved three days ago and doesn't much care unless he has someone to impress. Light blue eyes go well with his lighter attitude towards life. If he took the time to keep up appearances he would be rather handsome. Until then he needs a good scrubbing. His body can only be described as huge. Standing well over six foot. In the prime of his life. Rounded shoulders and a thick frame. It does well in making others think twice about picking a fight.
