## Biography

Born somewhere in the Wild West of the Americas, growing up as the single child, according to some rumors his mother is the one who taught *Luke* how to shoot a revolver already in his early years. According to the rumors his mother used to be a well known and well regarded gunslinger in the Wild West, earning their living as a bounty hunter.

#### ***Making his own mark***

*Luke's* mother(name unknown) died around *Luke's* teen age, whereas *Luke* supposedly then moved on to the town, back then known as *Daisy Town*. Upon *Luke's* early arrival in the town, some local bandits were in a scuffle, knocked eachother out and *Luke* supposedly, apprehended the men and put them inside the cells of the Sheriff's Office. The sheriff(name unknown) then had *Luke* around as a deputy for a while. The sheriff at the time passed away a couple of years later being bitten by numerous snakes, who all died by expending all their energy on that last bite. *Luke* who found this horrific scene has ever since had a terrible fear of snakes.
*Luke* was widely known as "*Lucky Luke*" due to the lucky actions happening all around him, according to the supposed rumors, he could control and decide the luck around himself. He apprehended a lot of criminals during his time as Sheriff of *Daisy Town*, mostly by lucky coincidents and situationally good timing.

#### ***The one and only duel*** *(That Luke speaks openly about.)*

According to supposed rumors, *Luke* had a famous duel, where a well known gunslinger, or some would say bandit, came into town around late evening, to finish off the rumors of the man known as "*Lucky Luke*". As the bells rung, both of them drew their revolvers and shot, rumor has it, *Luke* fired a shot, that broke a window into the saloon, hit a pan, which then ricocheted and hit a lantern, which thereafter fell onto the ground, where the previous night a local drunkard had broke a bottle of liquor, it took fire, the fire spread onto the gunslinger, or as some say, bandit. The man died by drowning himself in a wooden water barrel trying to put the fire out. Nobody since has challanged the man formerly known as "*Lucky Luke*" to a duel.

#### ***Moving along...***

*Luke* throughout his years had one thing that was dearer to him than most things, his beloved horse *Jolly Jumper*. Away from that he had one friend, a native who lived somewhere nearby *Daisy Town* by the name of *Capatutacha*. Not to long ago supposedly *Capatutacha* came by as per usual and took *Jolly Jumper* with him on a hunt. They were away longer than usual and *Luke*, worried at the time, went after them first thing in the morning. After half a day of walking around and searching, *Luke* finds his dear and beloved horse *Jolly Jumper*, dead, fallen off a cliff, and his friend, bleeding and with barely a breath left. *Capatutacha*, said one last word... - "*Snake*"... Which is at least what *Luke* heard.

After the happenings of that day, *Luke* decided it was time to finally move on and make way to somewhere else in the lands, a caravan that was coming through town, hired *Luke* as protection as far as he was needed. Which is how Luke Bravo came to find himself in Valentine, where the caravan no longer needed his assistance.

*Luke* saw a notice outside the Valentine Sheriff's Office, asking about experienced lawmen. He later on met Jane Reilly, the Sheriff of Blackwater, by the office in Valentine, who helped *Luke* get in contact with Jackson Deakins, the Sheriff of Valentine. The Sheriff made *Luke* a Temporary Deputy, *Luke* then proceeded to inn-act the law in his *bestest* of ways. After some time and tribulations Luke earned his badge and Sheriff Jackson Deakins deputized him.

Deputy *Luke Bravo* of Valentine has from then on been keeping the law around the state of **Odessa**.

***Live and love...***

Time has passed... Things have changed... Life has moved on...

*Luke* has been riding strong with his badge on his chest, in-acting the law as requested of him, doing his utmost to be a good member of Valentine Sheriff's Office and making Sheriff Jackson Deakins proud.

Along and among his journeys, he so to speak, crossed a river at one point, which he could not cross. This would for us reading, be the beautiful and adorable, but also brave and instinctive, Mdabyét. As expected, he fell deeply for her and believe it or not, she did for him as well...

After spending time and time together, both on-duty, and off, through all kinds of journeys, travels and adventures, one evening, as the sun was about to set, a ring was involved, in a beautiful scene of proposal, to which she was glad to say: - "*Yes*" to...

As things have been moving on, just like a river flows down its way, so has their relationship. It has had its ups and its downs. Lies, dishonesty and distrust has hit them from several directions at the same time, but being as they are, they have together overcome their problems. At a strong point of loyalty, honesty and trust, they move forth towards their wedding.

Luke has been told to find himself best men, and his first choice was Jackson Douglas, his longest standing and much trustworthy friend.
