Luke Vander Vel'Den II

Name: Luke Vander Vel'Den II

Age: 28

Starting Class: Pupil
[Ranked Up to: Mage Knight]

Fighting Style: Luke packs brute force and power behind his punches or in his case attacks. This is the sign that he is a mostly offensive fighter taking his enemies and opponents straight on. But that doesn't stop him from using his head as well as his sword. He also is known for studying not only his surroundings in the heat of battle but also his opponents fighting style and way of attack. Keeping close eyes on these two things he determines the probable next move of the attacker and where they will end up next. He also believes in the balance between elemental magic and offensive attack, mixing the two together to his advantage and preference.

Ability: SOLDIER Honor - When Luke's health is atleast 10% or below his attacks are boosted to 150% but the downfall to this is that he becomes weaker to ranged and magical based attacks.

Element: Plasma - An element made and composed of the sun and it's core energy. A dangerous and deadly element to both masters of it and beholders of it's power. [Weak against Water, Strong against Ice]

But in all truth he is a very kind natured man with a need to keep both his friends and allies safe. Not to get confused though he is strict and secretive at times due to events from the past.

Group: Leader of Sanctum

History: Luke Vander Vel'Den II was born on August 17th in a world known as Omasu. His parents were Luke And Emiko Vander Vel'Den. He was born into a noble family of high class Knights with two other silblings, an older brother named Vanus otherwise known as "Van" and a younger sister by the name of Yukina who is also known as "Yuki". Inherting his father's name he was the next member in line to take his father's place as the next Knight of their family. Through his childhood years Luke was put through emense training and preparation by not only his own family but by a specialized trainer who was also the leader of one faction of the Knights of Omasu. He was taught never to show weakness, never to retreat and at all costs fight to protect. At the age of 10 he was put at his brother's side as a trainee and brought into the actual ranks of the Knights. Beginning small he took his time doing the very limited tasks he was required to do in order to rank up. As easy as they were he still treated then with the up most seriousness.

When the time came on his 15th birthday and he had been through five years of missions, assignment, and other stuff he was almost welcomed into the elite class to the Knights of Omasu but he was one requirement short to reach his goal. There was one final mission, a sort of initiation that marked a Knight's true place in the group. It was unknown till the night he was to preformed this deed. Unfortunately this one act would send everything crashing down. The one task he was asked, was to face his brother in battle but it was to the death. He found that his future aspiration was being lead by a group of murders, including his own father. Forced into it by threats of not only himself being killed but his sister as well, Luke squared off with Van taking much effort snd emotional strain to finish him off. It was on that night, staring at his body with his brother's blood dripping from his blade that Luke finally changed. When he returned home a "Knight" his dreams were haunted and setting him on his own path. The next day he would set plans into action. He awoke a different man finishing his father and sending him to his final resting place before slipping off and heading away from home to seek refuge for a new start and future.

During his travels over the years to come Luke grew more intelligent and wise, locking his feels and past events away in the darkside of his heart. He grew to become a better man. He met many people gaining trust over again and making friends with close relations. He became his own person, his own warrior. No longer walking in the footsteps of monsters and killers. One thing was for sure he would never forgive himself for the death of his dear brother. It was one year ago that he found a portal opened in the farplanes of the a rogue town. Curious enough he stepped in to find out where it lead only to find himself in the strange ruins of Fiendish Garden. The portal had closed behind him before he had a chance to turn back and return to his own world which ultimately ment he was trapped in place he had no knowledge of. It didn't take long though through one year for him to study the terrain, meet new people, and collect knowledge of and travel to different words. Now in his 28th year of being free he is the current leader of the "Heroes" group known as Sanctum and because of his diregard to his past and it's events he's earned the title of Fate's Shadow.
