getting to know you ..x..[/color]
General Appearance: Luke is tall and lean, but quite muscular. He gives off the appearance of a high school jock, but his personality is actually on the other side of the spectrum. His skin is pale, fare and easily burns, while his jaw is very angular and wide. However, the one thing that screws up that jawline is a long, wide scar that runs the length of his face. It occurred in a fight with a demon who posed as a high end chef in one of the biggest restaurants in Chicago.
Talents:
Musically oriented (Flute, violin, organ, and a couple more)
Excellent with horses
Very academic
Interests:
Puzzles
Books
Acting
Science (Chemistry and Forensics to be exact)
Personality: He's smart and intelligent, but can seem stuck up since he can flaunter it around and not even notice it. When he's in battle, he's a take-no-prisoner warrior. Showing no mercy. He's tall and strong, but hates any form of sports. He reads and writes, and loves to do it. He's your average nerd, hiding behind pages and sitting on windowsills and all over the institute whether it's in the greenhouse, the kitchen, or on the roof.
Being as blunt as he is, Luke has no time to deal with children, so he dislikes children from 5-10 but loves taking care of infants. Jace and Luke are polar opposites, contrasting each other perfectly. Luke is calm and quiet, while Jace is loud and eccentric. However, inside, Luke is slightly jealous of Jace, him being the bookworm, and Jace being the warrior.
Growing up with a different training style, Luke found it odd how the Lightwoods train, and is usually by himself when he does. Most Shadowhunters go for power and accuracy, while Luke goes for balance and flexibility. You can be the strongest warrior in the world, but without balance, you fail. The boy always aspired to be in the circus as an acrobat, so he uses high wires and trapeezes to train. Balance beams are also useful to him.
Luke was never as close with Jace as Alec or Max, but he was very close with all of the other Lightwoods that took him in when his whole blood family abandoned him, being one of the few people that would venture to try Isabelle's cooking. He was especially close to Max, their love of reading and formats of art made them close, and Max was one of the few 5-10 year olds, (When Max was that age) that Luke enjoyed the company of.
Luke is a truly nice person, but he is very socially awkward, so he doesn't know when he's flaunting his intelligence or not. Sometimes, Luke is like a ticking time bomb. He bottles up his emotions, and when something sets him off, there's no telling what he'll do. The only three people that can release some of his emotions is Luke Garroway, Jace, or Alec. Many people do not know of Luke hurting himself. When he does something terribly wrong, he can freak out and rip his nails down his face, or slam his head into a wall, or even cut himself and not place iratzes on it.
Weaknesses:
Socially awkward
Overly-blunt
Hurts himself when he does something wrong
Doesn't take criticism well
Strengths:
Tall height
Intelligent
Strategic
Fierce
..x.. your past[/color]
History: Luke was born with his twin brother Simon, and his siblings, living great lives, wealthy, in Boston. He was training and living there, then something ruined his life. His family was trapped in the drawing room of their house, and were killed in a huge house fire. He survived because he was in the courtyard during the time of their deaths. His entire family was killed and he was shipped to New York to live in the Institute. He found comfort in his best friend Sam, a mundane he met at the public library, and Luke Garroway, who was a close family friend. Luke (H) was named after Luke (G) and he was also Luke (H)'s godfather.
When people thought that Luke (G) was killed in the Uprising, Luke (H) kept on receiving letters from Luke (G). Luke (H) then set out to find him. Luke (G) set Luke (H) out on a wild goose chase to keep him from getting caught in the crosshairs of Luke (G)'s dealings with Valentine. Then when he moved back to New York, Luke (G) explained everything to him. Luke (H) was a little pissed, but he understood completely.
Luke (G) gave Luke (H) a job at his bookstore because he had no money left to his name, all of it went to his other family, none of them wanting to take care of him, so Luke (G) is the father figure of Luke (H) for his life ages 9 to 17 years. He's also gotten close with all the Lightwoods, including Jace, they are like his extended family.
Luke focused on learning as much as he could about anything, fighting included. He spends hours in the library, asking for his food to actually be sent to the library so he could eat while he reads. Luke will occasionally lock the door to the library to stay alone. He learned to horse back ride in Boston, so he loves to ride horses. He actually owns a horse, Apollo, in stables on the outskirts of New York.
When he learned of Alec's sexuality he felt like he wasn't the only one that liked from the same gender, and followed in Alec's footsteps, coming out as a homosexual. However, he's never really been in a relationship, getting extremely nervous and stutters whenever he's around a guy he likes. While he has no parabatai, he feels like that is actually when he's more powerful, alone. With no one to bonded to him.
He was living in the Chicago Institute for 5 years, on an exchange program for Shadowhunters. When the program ended, he moved back to the New York Institute, returning to his job at Galloway Books. However, being away has eluded him of meeting Clary or learning of Jace's relationship with her, and even Alec and Magnus' relationship.

RP Sample: Luke hadn't seen Apollo since he left for Chicago, but he stayed in touch with Courtney, the head horse attendant, on how he was doing. When Luke's cab pulled up to the stables, he got out and practically ran for the front desk. Courtney sat at it, reading a magazine on weight loss. "You know those things never work right?" Luke said, scaring her. "Well I'd be damned, Luke Hexcaster. How the hell are you?"
After a bunch of hellos and hugs to some of the stable attendants, Luke finally got to Apollo's stall. The big stallion was sleeping, his head against the bars of the stall. Luke ran his hand down Apollo's head, "Hey there bud! How are you doing?" The stallion woke up instantly, and neighed happily in Luke's hand. He entered the stall and ran a hand down Apollo's white-gold flank, "You've gotten larger since I last saw you! Courtney has been taking care of you I see," looking at the full feed bucket and full water holder, "Well, how about I get you out of this cramped stall?" Apollo snorted in agreement.
Gripping his reigns, Luke lead Apollo to the riding grange, basically a huge meadow with some fences and barrels for rider's to practice for events. But right now, Luke just wanted to ride. He climbed onto Apollo, and sat on the leather saddle. His boots looped in the foot placers, Luke rode Apollo out into the grange. "Ok boy, let's see if you've gotten a bit rusty in my absence," he hiked his boots and Apollo basically said, "Challenge accepted." He broke into a full sprint through the meadow, wind blowing Luke's brown hair. Yeah, he hadn't.
