## History

### Early Life

Lucas “Luke” Jackson was born to Harley Jackson, a clear sighted mortal and Rhea, Titaness of fertility, motherhood, comfort, and ease, in Topeka, Kansas on June 5, 2004. Harley Jackson was a poor farmer in the open  region of Topeka. His farm had been suffering when he fortuitously met a beautiful woman (Rhea). The woman never gave her name, but gave to visit and help Harley  on the farm almost every day, and in what seemed to be no time at all, the farm was flourishing and Harley  had a healthy income. Intrigued and smitten with this strange woman, he tried asking her on a date repeatedly and eventually she gave in. A dinner led to a walk in the park, which led to a visit back to the farm, which eventually led to the two in bed. The day after, the woman was gone, leaving a note briefly stating she was the Greek Titaness, Rhea. Harley didn't believe her, and went on with his farming life. Approximately 9 months later, a baby boy wrapped in a sky blue blanket appeared on Harley’s doorstep, attached with a note from Rhea saying he was his son. Harley was shocked, but took the baby in out of kindness and named him Lucas or Luke not completely believing he was his. For five years, they lived on the thriving farm, until Harley’s mother grew sick, and Harley moved them both to Italy, to care for her full time.

### Childhood

Luke grew up tending to his Nonna's garden. He began going to school in Italy, having difficulties learning Italian as a second language especially with dyslexia and ADHD. He made a few friends, one of which was a satyr who protected Luke throughout his first three years in Italy. When he was ten years old  a harpy attacked Luke. Luke had been listening to his Ipod up loud, and didn't hear the harpy coming from behind. His satyr friend had been walking behind him and had seen the harpy coming and had defeated it with a bow and arrow from his backpack, dying in the process. When Luke didn't see his friend again, he presumed he had moved away.

### Monsters and Romance

At around the age of eleven, Luke began spending his summers in California, on the family farm with his relatives. He began seeing strange things and when was attacked twice by harpies, he had held his hands up in defense and found himself shooting pines from his hands, paralyzing the harpies and allowing him to run to safety in the farmhouse. When he was 13,  a hell hound attacked him while he was in Italy. He was lying on his back, with the hell hound on top of him about to rip his head off when a dozen silver arrows appeared in its side. Turning his head to find where the arrows had come from, he saw a line of girls, all dressed in silver, at the edge of the forest near the farm.

One by one, the girls disappeared back into the forest, until only one was left. She declared herself to be a Huntress of Artemis named Isabelle Chance, and had been asked by the goddess to check on Luke, to see if he was ok. It was love at first sight, and Isabelle left the Hunt to be with Luke for the rest of the summer, getting herself an illegal passport when Luke went back to Italy to be with him. At the age of 14, Luke realized he was a demigod after Isabelle explained the concept to him. She had wanted to keep it a secret from him, knowing monsters would be less attracted to him if he didn't know. In the process, she revealed herself to be the daughter of Alcyone and for two years they moved around America, defeating monsters as they came, with Isabelle finding Celestial Bronze dual bolos for Luke, in a storage facility she knew of. A few weeks short of Luke’s 15th birthday, Isabelle and he joined up with a satyr who decided to take them to Camp Olympia they agreed, thinking it would be a great place for their relationship, away from monsters.

### Coming to Camp

On the way there, they encountered a Manticore. The manticore took town the satyr almost immediately, shooting him down with a poison-tipped spike and pouncing on top of him. Isabelle took out her arrows and fired them into the manticore's side, while Luke sprinted to the other side and sliced off one of its wings. The manticore had been angry, and charged at Isabelle, but she enveloped herself in shadows and escaped the beast's charge. Bit by bit, the two of them chopped the manticore down to size until it was near dead. It was stumbling and fell to the ground, and Isabelle ran and jumped into Luke’s arms. Blinded by their supposed success, the couple didn't notice the manticore stand up for a final attack and leap onto Isabelle. She had been surprised, and didn't have time to react as the Manticore bit its fangs into her neck, killing her. The manticore then slumped, and began to dissolve, leaving a coating of golden dust on Isabelle's dead body. Luke had knelt at the body and wept for a day, until resolving to go to Camp Olympia and find a way to avenge Isabelle's death. After a week or so and a harpy attack, Luke arrived at Camp Olympia on his 15th birthday. Rhea claimed him and soon became friends with Justine Montes, his step-sister after a few Arguments.

## Personality

Luke, much like his mother, is sweet and kind. He has this serene aura around him, sorta like Emily. He gets along well with the first fourteen members of the JO, along with the others like Amber. However, he doesn't get along with Justine. Being the son of Rhea and Justine, the daughter of Kronos, the two don’t get along due to their parents' history. He also gets along with the Trix but does not approve of their bullying, other than that he is very natural to both groups. Luke sort of acts like an older brother figure to the new campers and he is considered very popular with others. Luke is shown to be very faithful and courageous, especially to those he cares about. Luke has a love for reading, despite his dyslexia he still likes to learn. Charming though mercurial, Luke is an inquisitive camper whose audacious leanings make him just as outgoing as he is spontaneous. While not too in-your-face about his titan birth – being raised under the care of his father Harley – he's nonetheless curious about where he came from. Between being destined to lose his earthly memories (and wariness of being forgotten) the demigod wants the time he has left in Camp Olympia to mean something. One thing of note, ironically, is that his short-term memory is a *bit* sporadic, often remembering seemingly random/unimportant details (hoarse laughter coming from the goblin he saw last week, that *very* specific shade of cream orange seen during the sunset he saw three days back, etc.) while blanking out on the obvious (others' names, school assignments). Luke nonetheless does his best to support his friends, even if he's something of a literal space-case. The son of Rhea is *very* excitable, especially when trying to cure his boredom. While *seeming* to be collected and composed when left to his own devices, he rarely stays still for long, often fidgets in class when he isn't wandering about between periods. He'll gladly join up with friends and local troublemakers for fun and mischief (often under the guise of a pleasant smile and an air of coy nobility) to keep active in mind and body – a strength of affability and a weakness for compulsion. Sometimes it fuels his drive to be wanted and remembered, but more often than not it wears him out mentally and, in worst-case scenarios, it even lends him into trouble. Conversely, his mutable demeanor sticks with him in the lowest of moods; even like-minded demi-titans like Luke become withdrawn and melancholic, no matter how hard he tries to stay positive. Along with being at times hypersensitivity, It's during these episodes when his anxiety for the future – every thought of "what if I'm a different person when I forget my time at camp" and "maybe I'm not good enough for friends/family to care about me when I'm gone" combined – eat up at the poor moon prince. Nevertheless, Luke is content to keep his head held high in spite of persistent insecurities, whether through keeping himself busy or staying in touch with those who stick with him and his moods. Overall, whether letting loose with BFFs or socializing with quirky acquaintances, *wax*, *wane*, and the *energy* that drives him are key terms that are essential to who he is – like the many phases of the moon itself. Luke is very fiendly, outgoing and kind to the family, but is in fear of everything and very pretective, especially to enemies, despise this. He's a loyal friend and know bravery when is needed, he also is a talented rapper and dancer, and loves to perform on the streets of New Athens

### Fatal flaw

Luke's fatal flaw is his naivety, he thinks that everyone a good heart. His cousin Justine helps him realize that this is a dangerous fatal flaw to have and to try and prevent it from being the death of him, he goes into a state of seclusion.

## Etymology

The name Lucas is from the Greek name Loukas. Interestingly, Lucas also means **"man from Lucania,"** a historical region of southern Italy the name of which is thought to mean **white or light**. This makes sense since Lucas means **"bringer of light"** in Latin.

The distinguished surname Jackson first emerged in the borderlands between England and Scotland. The name is **related to the personal name Jack, a pet form of the popular "John," meaning "God has favored," and refers to "a son of Jack."**
