An open-minded prankster, he loves creative possibilities, and tends to see everything as a challenge. An optimistic opportunist, he lives in the moment, and doesn’t always plan ahead or consider the consequences of his actions. The bigger an obstacle, the more he sees it as a challenge, but smaller, less important things tend to stack up and make him irritable. He procrastinates when stressed, and starts too many things without ever finishing them, leaving a trail of failed projects, tasks, and endeavors in his wake. He’s also impatient with anyone he considers wrong or less intelligent, and prides himself on being a know it all and being taken seriously. He’s quick-witted and sly, and can talk his way out of trouble. However, he’s not very empathetic, and can’t read the emotions of others well, hence his tendencies of pranking his classmates don’t go over well. He loves puzzles, strategy games, and riddles, but gets bored easily and often fudges over details in his work. He’s bold, creative, and loves new things and experiences. [b]Biography:[/b] The eldest of eight children, Luciano was born in Lupinia, in the capital of Rhéo. His father was chairman the famous Black Star ocean liner company, while his mother was an heiress and socialite. For the first seven years of his life, he was the center of his parents undivided love and adoration. Then his younger brother Leonardo was born. Then his sister Levina. Then his sister Loretta. Then his brother Lorenzo. Then his twin sisters Lucretia and Luisa. Then finally his youngest brother Leopoldo. Suddenly, Luciano wasn’t the center of attention anymore. He loved his siblings and his parents, but the vast age gap between him and them left him feeling more like a babysitter than a sibling. And his parents spent most of their free time playing with or taking care of his younger siblings. They had nannies to watch them and feed them, but Luc was eight now, and had outgrown much of the need for a nanny. He still wasn’t happy with the sudden lack of attention. He was used to being the center of the universe, and now he had to share it with 7 other people? He knew it was silly to hope to be the only one in his parents eyes again, but surely he deserved a little more than the attention he was getting. So he started attention seeking behaviors, playing practical jokes on his friends, classmates, and even teachers. He took up dozens of different hobbies, from painting to sailing to computer building, all in hopes his parents would see and praise him. But he quickly grew bored and dissatisfied with them, and abandoned his hobbies after only a few weeks each. He became a jack of all trades, but master of none. Still, he was always seeking new challenges, and when the time came for him to enter high school, he excitedly told his parents he wanted to go to the best school possible, hoping that his smarts might be able to win him more attention. Obviously he meant going to a highly praised school inside Rhéo, but his parents had different ideas in mind. They went for the very best, the creme de la creme, St. Fortuna’s Academy for the Higher Arts in Prydain. He could hardly hide his dismay. Prydain was so far away! He wanted to be near his parents and family, not far from them! But what could he do? His parents looked so happy when they bought him his seat, so proud of him for going to such a great school. He had to go, and who knew, maybe what people said about absence making the heart grow fonder was true? Besides, it was a new experience, and he might make new friends there too.
