Personality: A known funny guy and class clown type joker, Luke loves to smile and laugh and his favorite is making others laugh and often guilty of laughing at his own jokes. He has always had a passion for people. He has many gifts and talents, and he wants to share them with the world, but for right now he just wants to get through the day with a good laugh and the best joke. Its always a good day when he has the whole class roaring. Luke can be devious and sometimes mean when it comes to joking, though he doesn't intentionally harm others, he can hurt others feelings. Luke has always had a knack for biology and science, huge animal lover, and reptile fanatic. Snakes are his favorite, and feels spiritually connected to them as if he knew what they were saying. Though he is smart, he isn't the most skilled when it comes to learning magical arts and usually feels as though he is at the bottom the of class. Luke masks this with his humor. 

History: Oldest of three brothers, Luke was born and raised on RAF Alconbury, Luke's muggle father Rodger Soper is an American airman and aviation mechanic married to Karen Soper, a wealthy pure-blood witch. His brother John is only eighteen months younger. Luke and John were home-schooled by their mother for most of their life. She didn't trust muggle-education and wanted her sons to study magic. John although almost two years younger, began school at an early age and kept up with Luke's education; the two brothers remained in the same grade and usually shared the same friends. Luke always had a passion for creatures and reptiles, like his mother. Luke's father wanted his sons to join the military so Luke and John were always forced to play sports and went through many military-like summer camps. Luke just wanted to do what he felt was right, and when his mother told him about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He wanted to leave right away. When he recieved the letter of acceptance by owl post, he was beyond ecstatic.
