An independent wandering freelancer. He is known mainly for working as an engineer and as mercenary, often mixing both due to his especially advanced combat equipment, either maintaining, upgrading or using it, whether his own or someone else's.

He isn't part of any groups, but is often finding himself working for the Furria Guild, military or particular expeditions in need of manpower. His fees are usually on the lower end and, in very bad situations, he helps for free. But outside of conflict, he's seen going on his own taking various kinds of activities, from quietly working on personal or work projects, studying or sightseeing; to taking intense action and adrenaline, like tournaments, races, hunting dungeons or even acting as a vigilante.

Luka is a lonely cat-type. Most often seen on his own, quietly minding his own business and rarely bothering to approach others unless he needs help with something, someone else needs help or he is working in a team. If someone approaches him, they'd find Luka to be a calm, mild and polite typyl, if slightly awkward yet straightforward. He isn't interested in small talk unless the topic interests him, usually technology and combat. He often stumbles on his words or words his speech weirdly due to his low social skills, and often spaces out if not concentrated; he thinks it happens to avoid boredom but it's troublesome. He admires the military, but thinks he can't join because of its commitment, hierarchy, etc. he blames it on himself being lazy and lacking their discipline. He also shows respect for researchers that have a less self-absorved behavior.

Getting close to him would reveal that, while he is very interested in combat, he is obsessed with morality and righteousness. He idolizes heroism, virtue, has a moral code and sticks to traditions he followed before antecedency. He helps others as an ideal duty, as he says, “I don't need to care about you to help you out”. However, he can also be very stubborn, intolerant, blunt and insensitive. He isn't very good at handling emotions and and sensitive people, gets easily frustrated by things he doesn't understand, and his ideals can often clash with Typyl culture or another individual, making him look bigoted sometimes; at best he tries to move on, but at worst he can have a hard time holding back his anger and desire to fight.

In battle, Luka relies on defense, tactics and reflex: He first looks for an advantageous position to be at. Then uses reaction, maneuvering and his equipment for defense, blocking, deflecting, etc. He focuses more on defense, and prefers using heavy armor supported with different types of equipment to become very tough to hurt. His offense relies on versatility, using different types of attack and ammo depending on the foe, mainly , with different types of ammo depending on the enemies, usually with straightforward ranged attacks. Outside of a fight, he’s on the lookout for enemies trying to get to his allies, but can be also supporting the defense, fixing damaged equipment and making sure the party doesn't run out of resources.

When asked about his pre-antecedent life, he speaks with nostalgia, fondness and gratitude for his life. He views his time before antecendence positively and seems to have a deep feeling of guilt and grief for losing himself, he believes it was his own fault that led to it and that he left his loved ones to mourn him without repaying them. It also shows in his preference for “mundane” items (objects like swords, spears, guns and physical armor) that follow antecedent world design over sorcia-reliant ones, sometimes can be seen trying to make his own equipment rely less on it.

Before Furria
Luka was just a digital artist and software engineering student before antecedence. His interest in technology and warfare comes from then, hence his knowledge on the topic carrying over.
Some of his past can become apparent when he occasionally draws during his spare time; and how sometimes he attempts to set up mechanisms in basic logic terms and statements.

His own loss before antecedence left him filled overcome by sorrow and deep guilt and grief inside the crystal room as he felt that his life was unfulfilled, and most importantly, that he had not paid back to his family, loved ones or anyone else who helped him in life, leaving them mourning him instead as well as making him unable to see them again.

Luka has a strong affinity for three things: tools (including weapons), tactics and maneuvers. The tools he mainly uses are firearms, especially those similar to the antecendent world's. He has some weapons as his main gear however:

Assault rifle
His main weapon: A two-handed, selective-fire assault rifle that Luka built, based off several designs from the antecedent world. Very versatile and highly modular. It usually has a scope on top, a digital ammo counter behind the scope, an array of electromagnet coils along the barrel and a grenade launcher below it. It loads high caliber ammo most of the time and can be loaded with either normal bullets or sorcia-enhanced ones for different effects: explosions, freezing, burning, shocking, etc. He usually carries different ammo types for different enemies, but he prefers using normal physical bullets because they are cheaper and follow his preference for mundane equipment.

He added two sorcia-enhanced mini-jackhammers below the barrel and above the grenade launcher. He uses it to remove obstacles, cover or other undersired objects or creatures up close. He also added the electromagnets onto the barrel as an experiment to turn the weapon into a coilgun. They aren't fully optimized, but they react well with spells and can conduit a Typyl's sorcia to increase the rifle's power. It is an ongoing project, Luka is actively developing it.

Underbarrel Grenade Launcher
Luka attached a grenade launcher on the bottom of the assault rifle's barrel. It can be loaded with many different grenades, just like the rifle. Although, because of its features, it can launch some more exotic projectiles, like grenades capable of deploying energy shields, grenades able to drain enemies and heal allies, or his strongest grenades: Vello-kinetic grenades that explode, suck in objects and creatures, then explodes again.

The launcher is highly versatile and limited only by what grenades Luka is carrying, but most of what he carries are common explosive grenades, because they're cheaper.

Exoskeleton Armor
A cat-type typil-shaped suit covered in interlocking armored plates, and a helmet containing advanced technology inside, such as a HUD and a radar. It's usually colored in camouflage patterns, but when it is not, it's most of the time color some shade of grey with blue details

The main feature of the armor, however, is its sheer toughness. It is very tough physically, and on top of that, is coupled with aurarmor and an energy shield generator, with space for more. Even the joints are protected to a lesser extent.

Besides protection, the armor is lightened, is self-contained, has a large punch under the front plate that Luka often uses as an arcpouch and several smaller pouches on the outside as well to let him carry objects outside his arcitory.
