Bio: Born in Manchester, England to a single mother, Lucas spent the majority of his childhood in the UK. Growing up in a relatively peaceful suburb, Lucas was given a simple and enjoyable childhood as his mother worked incredibly hard at two jobs to ensure that they were able to live happily and without want in their apartment within the city. Lucas spent his education in the UK until roughly eighth grade, Lucas and his mother eventually moved to the United States, as his mother had gotten engaged to her American boyfriend, who she had met during his time in Manchester for work. Living with his new stepfather, Lucas was not particularly happy about moving at first, and as a result separated himself from most of the other kids in the early days of his high schooling.
Generally picked on by other students for his 'nerdy' appearance and attitude, Lucas did little and made almost no effort to go against his tormentors, spending far more of his time staying in class or the library to work, than engaging in sports or generally socializing. He was still relatively fit, however, and while Lucas never participated in any of the sports clubs at school, he kept up a regular fitness regime, with the assistance of his step-father, a Personal Trainer, who he slowly developed somewhat of a begrudging respect for. As a result of his own physique, Lucas avoided any particular physical altercations from his main tormentor, [CHARACTER], despite some goading on their part, and his tormenting usually remained as little more than mocking and teasing, which he learned to ignore. He held a relatively low respect for a number of his fellow students, but did not despise all of them, one individual - [CHARACTER] - gained Lucas' respect, and even trust, and quietly, he developed somewhat of a friendship with them. Devoting a great deal of his time to his studies, Lucas did quite well Academically, and graduated as one of the top students.
Using his good grades, Lucas went on to Harvard, where he studied a politics degree, particularly focusing on international security and relations. During his time at Harvard, Lucas took on many internships at government organisations, including the Department of Defense. Finding a great interest in the work he was doing, Lucas applied for a graduate program for the CIA in the final year of his bachelor, and after a number of tests and interviews, he was selected to take part in the program. Eventually passing the year-long program with a pair of other entrants, Lucas was offered a full-time position in the CIA, stationed in their offices in Los Angeles. Having essentially no contact with those he knew from high school, Lucas only chose to accept the invitation for the Reunion at the encouragement of his only real friend from high school - [CHARACTER].
Personality: Lucas has always been an incredibly hard worker, he always has put work and his education before anything else, as such, in high school he was never particularly social. Since high school, Lucas has become far more of a charismatic individual. Although he is still fairly reserved, and far more of an introvert, when it comes to social gatherings and interactions Lucas is incredibly engaged. Overall Lucas is generally a fairly polite, and kind individual, who aims to cause as little drama and issue as he is able to.
Additional Information:
- Lucas still speaks with a particularly strong English accent.
- Lucas is fluent in both French and Arabic
Too easy, i'll need someone to play this character's only real High School friend, as well as someone to play his old Tormentor.
