Luca by Kitty

Luca Knight is the son of Neela Garcia and Tony Marino-Knight, born in Casa di Cavalieri in September 2012. Around his first birthday Luca left Casa for a brief stint to live in Halifax with his parents. He returned to Casa in early December of 2013, unable to deal with the loneliness of his newfound life and separation from his birth pack. As Luca entered his teenage years he became curious about the world and left for Freetown in March 2014 and returned to Casa in June.

The Knight has continued to climb the ranks, and in early July of 2015 he became mates to Lyris Stryder. In early August of 2015 he became the father to two daughters, Indi Knight and Teagan Stryder. Later in the year, he was promoted to Lune and co-king of Casa, the position he currently holds. In early September of 2016, he fathered another litter by Lyris, who bore Arlen Stryder, Myra Garcia, and Remus Knight. In June 2017, he promoted Lyris to Sola and ruled with her until November of 2017, where Lyris gave birth to Nora Knight and Cedric Stryder of their third and final litter at the cost of her own life.

Luca was murdered in August 2020 by Jamie O'Neil.

2.  Personality

Growing up, his father often referred to him as the "ideal son," which put a lot of pressure on him during his youth. During his teenage years he experienced instability - leading to a streak of misbehaving and acting out. He has since grown out of this stage and has gained even more confidence from his experiences as a rebel.

Luca excels at physical things like hunting or fighting, but books bore him. He would much rather go out and create his own adventure than read about someone else's and tends makes fun of those who do not do this. Sometimes his nature to act before he thinks lands him in difficult situations. Although not one to chat your ear off, Luca enjoys a good battle of the wits and tends to respect those with a good sense of humor and a sharp tongue above others. He strongly pities those, particularly females, who depend heavily on others to support and protect them.

He is a very humanized Luperci, having been raised in a pack primarily comprised of humanized Luperci. Although he would never externally disrespect those who choose not to wear clothes, he firmly believes in concealing the body. Furthermore, Luca is a large supporter of keeping livestock and the use of tools and finds it difficult to understand why other canines would choose to live what he believes to be a lesser life without these Luperci perks.

5.  cNPC - Ulrich
