- Main Profile -
Full Name: Lukah (loo-kah)
Nickname: None
Age: 30
OOC Birthdate: August 30, 2010
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Strictly heterosexual.
Craft/Rank: Wherhandler Journeyman
Description: Light brown hair and striking, dark grey eyes. He’s light skinned and comes home red around the cheeks after a long day in the sun, for he burns easily. He stands about six feet tall, muscular and lean from travel. He takes good care of his appearance most of the time, even on the road, though he often has to make due with little. Although he has a rather average appearance his easy self-confidence shines through. Women normally find him good looking if not handsome.
Personality: Lukah is a gregarious, well meaning guy who loves to be around people. When he makes new friends he quickly takes on the role of the big annoying brother who always looks out for you and showers you with wisdom whether you need it or not, and he’s managed to taint many friendships by coming off as a know-it-all. He preaches about high moral standards and comes off sounding a little desperate, even hollow, given the difficulty with which he follows his own advice. When women are involved he’s at his worst, loving them and leaving them, often without so much as a goodbye, treating them as objects, although it’s their attention he loves the most. He makes up excuses for himself to avoid feeling bad about what he does.
Emotionally Lukah is a mixed bag. He normally keeps his problems to himself because he believes he’ll sound like he’s complaining, unless there’s someone he feels comfortable talking to. Even then it’s easier to get a wher to fly than convince Lukah to accept help, especially when he needs it most. Generally he works his bad feelings out through physical labor or in private playing his gitar, a hobby he’s had since childhood. He comes off as easy going most of the time, leading some people to believe (incorrectly) that he has no problems. He loves to joke and tell long stories. If ever deprived of social contact he would likely lose his mind in less than a week.
If there’s a problem to be solved you can be sure Lukah will go for the most practical approach. He hates to complicate a simple job. For being born into a wealthy family with parents in high social standing he comes off as surprisingly down to earth and manages to get along with just about anybody, so long as they can put up with his rambling and ‘sagely’ advice. His appearance of being ‘down to earth’ comes from his practical way of thinking, which has the unintentional affect of masking the arrogance that feeds his self-confidence and is the cause of all his problems. Most people who know him well enough to see his faults never figure out whether he sincerely wants to be a good person or just wants to appear as one.
History: Born into the household of a wealthy Benden family, Lukah grew up with an excellent education and ample opportunities ahead of him. But that was almost not the case. When he was still a babe in his crib an intense fever griped him and nearly claimed his life. As a boy Lukah frequently fell ill and, since he also burned easily, this kept him indoors most of the time, reading or practicing music to pass the time. These early years shaped him into a sweet, quiet boy, mature for his age.
After seven turns his immune system improved, though his skin still burned easily in the sun, and at ten turns his parents decided he was strong enough to apprentice as a wherhandler in Benden’s mine. Because he wanted to help people, he chose to work in the mines over becoming a wher breeder. At age sixteen (going on seventeen) he met Zhac and the two quickly became friends. Lukah treated him just like one of his younger siblings, looking out for him and giving him advice when he couldn’t go to a master. At eighteen Lukah received his first wher, a bronze named Lukask.
During Zhac’s probation after the cave-in incident, Lukah visited as often as possible. They began to talk about their lives outside the mine - their families, their aspirations. Despite the age difference Lukah began to see Zhac as more than a surrogate little brother and their friendship truly cemented. Later when Zhac was ready to receive a wher of his own Lukah vouched for him, which helped Zhac in getting his gold.
After Zhac left to join the mine in Igen Lukah joined a caravan to travel the country. Although he fell in love with Pern on his travels he also faced many hardships. The first was the loss of his friend Brogan. Lukah met Brogan when he volunteered to join a caravan leaving Benden for Keroon. Quite literally born on the caravan, Brogan took Lukah under his wing and the two became fast friends. One year later, in route to Igen, Brogan was badly injured during a freak storm while trying to calm a frightened herdbeast. Lukah was right beside him when the animal suddenly reared up and trampled Brogan, breaking several ribs. Had they been closer to Igen Brogan might have survived. Lukah believes he could have saved Brogan had he acted more quickly. To make matters worse, when the caravan arrived at Igen Lukah discovered Zhac was no longer there. Lukah didn’t know if he would ever see him again. Although discouraged by the loss of two friends Lukah resolved to push on, yet the stress of loneliness combined with his relative anonymity outside the caravan led him to take up vices.
Eventually the winding road turned back to Benden where he was surprised to find Zhac waiting for him.

Family History: Wherhandling is in Lukah’s family. (WIP)
Opinion on Atypicals: Lukah believes that every dragon should be given a chance to live and work, regardless of its strength at birth. Although he would like to see the same applied to whers he understands why it is not, but that's how he would do things if he lived in a perfect world. His opinion has a lot to do with his childhood and he has no problem admitting it.

LUKASK Description: Average sized for a bronze, his tough skin is relatively unblemished as he hasn’t been on a run since Lukah joined the caravan. Personality: Lukask is a big tough bronze and Zhac’s biggest competition. Always jealous of his handler’s friends, he snarls at anyone who stands too close to Lukah and would try to force himself between them if not for his training. Even with his training he obviously lacked the temperament for working in the mines, though Lukah only realized this when they joined the caravan. He may throw his weight around, but unless you’re another watchwher his bark is worse than his bite. When no one else is around he dotes on Lukah like an adoring puppy.
