Personality
Lukas is a definite spitfire. Years of scrutiny for being a ‘runt’ or being seen as too effeminate have made him put a hard shell between himself and the outside world. Rather than be seen as weak or soft, he likes to be seen as an asshole. He’ll go out of his way to look like ‘one of the boys’ if he can and takes it very personally if his masculinity is insulted. Because of this and the fact that many think him a teenager rather than an adult, he has a reputation for being a brat.

Size Up- Lukas can usually tell by looking at someone whether he stands a chance in the fight or not

History
Lukas family is considered exceptional when it comes to clockwork, having built a reputation for themselves as exceptional Horologists over four generations, each generation giving the eldest son all the knowledge he will need to continue on the legacy. This continued on to his father Alarick, who fell in love and married a Rew woman Evangeline. Together, they build a wonderful life full of love and laughter together. All was perfect. However, when Lukas was born a girl, Emmilia, he father grew concerned. As a youth, Lukas was given everything he could want, needing for nothing, and for three long years, his mother and father tried desperately for another child, but it never came to be.

When he was 4, Lukas’ mother passed away from Tuberculosis, leaving his father a heartbroken widower with nothing but a daughter to remind him of her. Unable to bear the thought of remarrying and loathing the notion of marrying his daughter and business off to a man of higher status, he made the hard choice and began to dress Emmiline in boys clothes. When they ventured out, she was to act as his young son, and her name was to be Lukas.

For a time, many people questioned his legitimacy, given that some had known his wife and daughter, however, over time, they either forgot or ceased to care and Lukas was able to pass under the radar until puberty. By the time that puberty hit, Lukas had been masquerading as a man long enough that he was able to determine that it brought him joy. So, when his form began to slim and his voice rise, he went to his father in desperation.

In an effort to help his son and keep their secret just that- secret, his father took him to a mage who specialized in biokinesis. In his desperation, Lukas and his father let the mage perform a long, agonizing spell on Lukas that changed his body chemistry, preventing his body from producing female hormones and in the process, allowing the body to produce testosterone. The effects of which were quite formidable, leaving Lukas unable to stand or walk for nearly a month and abdominal pains that would render him to faint for much of his formative years. While these pains are more infrequent after so long, they do still happen on occasion, most often excruciating in nature. Now and again, they still return with a voracity that causes him to faint.

Likewise, due to the hormonal change, his voice has deepened, but he is still possessing of female genitalia and secondary sex characteristics (ie. breasts) that he must bind down and conceal in order to pass, which poses its own health risks.

At this current time, Lukas lives with his ailing father, who has grown old and left the business in his care. In all but name, Lukas owns the family’s clock business.
