Lukas Faraday

"My life's been a bit of a roller coaster. First I have nothing, then I have something. Then I have nothing again, and right now, well, I have something. I think I like the feeling of having something more than having nothing."

- Lukas

Lukas Faraday (ルーカズファラッデイ, Ruukazu Raraddei) is a young Mage of the Hydra Head guild. Abandoned by his real parents as a child for unknown reasons, Lukas spent several years travelling along by himself. However, after a particularly nasty encounter with a group of Vulcans, Lukas was left heavily wounded and nearly dead at the foot of a mountain, before he was rescued by someone he only refers too as the Hermit (隠者, Inja-san). The Hermit nursed him back to health, then took care of him for several years, teaching him about the rest of the world, as well as showing and teaching him how to use magic.

Several years later, the Hermit left the mountain, claiming he was going on a Spirit Journey (精神の旅, Seishin no Tabi). Now with no reason to stay on the mountain, Lukas hiked back to civilization, and found his way to the Hydra Head guild building, where he became a member.

Appearance
Lukas is a average-sized man who is very thin, but with some muscle as well. He has brilliant blonde hair and black eyes. His standard attire consists of a white tank-top, with a long slightly darker scarf, and blue jeans with the ends rolled up, as well as white plush shoes. He also wears hand wraps, and under his shirt is a sarashi, that is only visible from his waist area. The most important item to him are his glasses, which the Hermit apparently made especially for him, and he tries to keep these safe as much as possible.

Personality
One of the most notable traits that Lukas has is his love of reading, books, and manga, and he is often found in part of the guild hall, his nose stuck in one of these, ignoring the world around him. It can take some effort to pull him away from a tome, and he'll often get sucked right back in a few minutes after you manage to separate him from it.

However, Lukas still has a fun side, and can just as often be found partying and having fun with his guildmates, and he has a great love of food (though he cannot eat more than a normal person's share, unlike most shonen heroes). He also has a bit of a short fuse, and sadly, takes a bit of time to calm down. He can also hold petty grudges for a surprisingly long time (unless the person whom he is holding the grudge against does something that makes him forget about it), and he can also be a bit selfish and bratty when he wants too. On the whole though, he tries to act friendly and amiable as often as he can.

While not exactly a pervert, Lukas won't necessarily say no to doing some peeking, though he often attempts to keep his composure, or sometimes denies any such offers on pure chivalry, often attempting to convince others (and himself) that he is a 'gentleman', and he'll get into petty squabbles with those who deny it or insist that he isn't. Additionally, Lukas has a 'Stoic Mode' that he enters when the people around him are perving at something and he wishes to keep up appearances. This usually leads to him having a very bad poker face and fidgeting slightly.

Like most members of Hydra Head, Lukas has a strong feeling of brotherhood with the other members of his guild, and will go to any length to protect or help them, even if it means his own death or punishment. He is also an extremely loyal friend, but it takes a bit for him to consider someone one, though he'll still remain friendly and cordial.

Lukas has also slight commitment issues, usually either not commingling his full attention to a task, or trying to have a "back door", in case something goes wrong. However, there are a few instances where this does not apply, most notably when it comes to his friends and guildmates, who he refuses to compromise on.

Lukas also has an incredible will to live, driven by his desire to eventually meet the man who saved his life again, and he mentally refuses to die until that day.

Natural Abilities
Intellect- Though he isn't a genius, Lukas has gained a good bit of knowledge from the amount of reading he has done (even if a lot of that knowledge is pointless and trivial).

Strategic Mind- When he wants to, Lukas can be surprisingly strategic at times, though since he usually doesn't use this ability, it's often an interesting ace-in-the-hole.

Enhanced Strength- Due to spending his early life mostly travelling and fighting for survival, Lukas has gained strength beyond that of a normal person.

Enhanced Speed- Lukas can move faster than an ordinary person, and with the use of his magic, can move even faster than that.

Enhanced Durability- Lukas can take an incredible amount of damage, mostly due to his increased strength and his incredible will to live.

Magical Abilities
Heavenly Body Magic- taught how to use this magic by the Hermit, Lukas can use the properties of various astronomical objects in combat. Specifically, Lukas tends to generate a starlight-like energy that he applies to various limbs of his body, increasing his durability and offensive power in those areas. He also uses the light to release powerful light blasts and beams, and can even shroud himself in magic to increase his speed in some cases. In rare cases, Lukas can also seize control of gravity for short periods to attack the enemy, in an effect similar to a crushing meteor.
 * Comet (彗星, Suisei)- Lukas surrounds his body in magic, then uses it to move at incredible speeds.
 * Shooting Star (流れ星, Nagareboshi)- The most common technique Lukas uses, Lukas surrounds his fist in the golden light, then delivers a devastating punch that is nearly as strong as if the target was hit by an actual meteor.
 * Twin Impact (双子のインパクト, Futago no Inpakuto)- Lukas delivers two Shooting Star attacks to the opponent, doubling the damage.
 * Shooting Star Gatling (流れ星ガットリﾝグ, Nagaberoshi no Gattoringu)- Lukas launches a large amount of Shootign Stars at once, usually up close to his opponent.
 * Falling Sky (落下空, Rakka no Sora)- One of Lukas's stronger techniques, he surrounds both hands with the golden light, then begins making punching motions rapidly, releasing the energy off his hands at the same time, causing a barrage of energy blasts to attack the opponent.
 * Meteor Punch (落下空, Ryusei Ken)- A brutal attack, Lukas delivers what appears to be a normal punch to the opponent. However, his fist releases the golden energy, that rips through the opponent's body in crack-shaped lines, doing incredible damage.
 * Nebula (星雲, Seiun)- Lukas generates a large amount of the golden light, then shapes it into a disk. He can then throw the disk, and it will follow the intended target until it collides with something.
 * Galaxy (銀河, Ginga)- Lukas generates several magic circles around his body, forming a 'shield' of sorts: anyone who comes near the circles will receive a large blast of energy from them. A good technique for a battle of endurance.
 * Supernova (超新星, Chōshinsei)- One of Lukas's strongest techniques, Lukas releases a massive burst of energy, usually destroying the area around him and causing immense damage to anyone in its radius, at the cost of heavily draining his magic power.

Trivia

 * Zeon created this character after the creation of the character Aaron L. Goosby inspired him to.
