[b]Bio:[/b] Lucas grew up as the son of a Canadian doctor living in Ottawa. His mother was an engineer, so from an early age Lucas was groomed for higher education and success in academics. His parents had hopes that he would follow in their footsteps, going on to become either a surgeon, a scientist, or an engineer, and for the majority of his high school career, Lucas followed that path, planning to become a doctor like his father. It was around grade 10, though, that one of his classmates invited him to join their youth army cadet corps (basically a military run version of boy scouts). When Lucas decided to accept their offer, he quickly became infatuated with the structure, order and purpose of the military lifestyle. Over the course of a year, his plans gradually changed: He would still try to become a doctor, but first he wanted to join the army medical corps. His parents, while shocked at this sudden shift, continued to support him, and with their blessing, joined the army. He passed all his training with above average (but not particularly impressive) results in all fields except the medical training. In that field, he excelled and had no issues remaining on track for his position as an army corpsman. 

Lucas was not deployed immediately, so while he was living on a military base he continued in his studies by attending night school. This proved difficult and time consuming, but he managed to stick with it, eventually earned a full medical degree. The downside of this was that his intensive studies put a serious damper on his military performance, leading to him being passed over for promotions in favor of those with a more single minded military focus.

When the portal opened, Lucas was one of the few members the Canadian military sent to Germany to be apart of the task force. The reasoning behind this was his extensive medical background, as well as his combat medic training would make him invaluable to the the reconnaissance teams. He would both be able to treat life threatening injuries and also provide long term care in the case of extended deployments. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Friendly and helpful (as a combat medic should be), Lucas is a level headed individual who always has an optimistic view of the situation at hand. His upbringing and schooling have lead to him being very curious, and though he has long since gotten over the feeling of 'gotta learn everything!' he felt in his youth, he is still constantly on the lookout for new and interesting skills to learn. One of his major flaws, though, is a tendency to talk down to people who act like they know it all. Lucas has worked his ass off to become as educated as he is, but that has also made him keenly aware of his own shortcomings. People who don't recognize their own, or try to sound like they always know what's best (especially if they don't) annoy him, and if someone were to start acting like hot shit, he would be quick to put them in their place.
