I'm cool with anyone interacting with my charcater if that helps. A weird American dude with visible yellow veins in a Britush pub would probably catch some people's attentions.

I kinda made Luke's apprenence weird to kinda go along with how not every mutant's powers are cool or sexy. Some people are just giant blobs or look like birds. Luke is just the guy who constantly smells and just doesn't look groovy.
