Glyndwr Luke Sinclair

Glyndwr Luke Sinclair is a first year student at Haven Academy and leader of team GOLD.

## Backstory

§  Born and raised
with his elder sister Flora, the two were close friends and constant playmates.
Their parents would join them when they weren't busy for play and to regale
their young ones with tales of Hunters, both of the past and those they knew
from their time at Beacon. Flora was captivated and decided she wanted to be
one too. Luke wasn't as sure but he wanted to do everything that Flora did. And
after a year of simply watching as Flora was trained after she was considered
old enough, Luke decided he wanted to train as well. And so when they weren't
playing or doing homework, they practiced together.

§  Then when Luke
was twelve, The Schnee Dust company launched an expo showing off the quality of
their Dust, the various ways it had been used through the ages, and some of the
processes the company used to mine and process the Dust. Flora was eager to go
and convinced Luke to come along. While they were there, the White Fang
attacked. The expo erupted into flames and confusion. Luke and Flora were
separated for a bit and Luke desperately called her name as he scrambled about.
Then two of the White Fang members converged on him and he was backed into a
corner, his body frozen with panic. Then Flora found him and tried to fight off
the aggressors. But she was killed in the process, before their father found
them, who had hurried from his work when the first explosion was heard.

§  All the family
drew into themselves after her death, each shocked and disbelieving. His mother
tried to reach out, especially to her son after one of his nightmares, and
assigned any Faunus servants they had away from the house proper so that Luke's
newly developed fear wouldn't spark anymore. But Luke brushed it away and would
go off by himself. Only his pets could get his mind off of what had happened
and so he spent more time than he use to training them to do tricks and other
such maneuvers. Eventually, he came to consider Flora's death his fault, that
he should have died then instead of her. In consequence, he decided to follow
her dream and become a Hunter. He buckled down to his studies, learned to
control himself so that he would not show his fear, and eventually graduated
among the top of his class and went on to Haven Academy where he ended up
becoming the leader of Team GOLD, where he was the only human. Luke had a
feeling that that would just be the beginning of his problems

## Personality

Personality: Outwardly, he's a very out-going,
intelligent, yet polite young man, eager to please and to learn. He's
industrious in his schoolwork, curious about the world, and seemingly carefree.
Underneath it all, he tries to hide his Fauniphobia, disciplined him that he only betrays signs of when startled or after a nightmare, all the while hating himself for having such a pathetic weakness, having such a pathetic life that his sister died for, wishing his sister was still alive. Also a very big eater, but has a fast metabolism to compensate.

Likes: Animals, Mystery stories, Solvable Problems, Tea, Sweets

Dislikes: His Fauniphobia, his Nightmares, Coffee, Getting his Pride Hurt, Licorice, Cigar Smoke

## Trivia

Character Basis: Luke Triton from *Professor Layton*

Notable relationships:

* Father: Use to be close, but they grew apart after Flora died, unsure how to deal with the grief
* Mother: Tired to be comforting after Flora's death, but was dealing with the pain itself
* Team GOLD
	+ Oria Ronan: Finds himself more easily at ease with her since she's also a curious individual, he enjoys her golden personality, and her faunus trait isn't as obvious as most. Really, she reminds him a lot of Flora sometimes. Hates that she often is caught in the crossfires between him and Dolma.
	+ Liadan Anamacha: His partner; Recognizes her awkward attempts at trying to get along with him and does his darndest to accept them and be less wary, but her tail is obviously Faunus. He has made progress though and is grateful when she helps him with Dolma
	+ Dolma Cabernet: The teammate he most clashes with, understands that Dolma has a bone pick against humans and he (Luke) is the nearest human, but doesn't understand why or how to convince Dolma to stop seeing him as a threat and to act like they're allies of circumstance if nothing else. Every chance Dolma gets, he questions Luke's orders and undermines Luke's authority and when Luke calls him on this, he can't help but feel like an animal cornered by the barely controlled anger in Dolma's eyes and Liadan needs to come back him up. Things have gotten to the point where if nothing changes, they might have to report this in and give up on trying to work out the arrangement
