Lucky the Mechanic

“Lucky” Luke Pierce: The Mechanic

Age: 32

Background: Luke spent much of his childhood with his aunt and uncle since his parents abandoned him when he desperately need an artificial heart and they didn’t want to pay for it. Luke was trouble since he could start walking. He was always taking stuff apart from smart phones to wooden furniture. Luke had developed a tendency of bad habits that got him locked up a few times in his teen years and beyond, mostly from gambling and bar fights. Some people believe he only joined this expedition just so he can escape his gambling debts.

Personality: He is not too fond of his real name as that is the only thing his no good parents gave him. He much prefers to go by Lucky or whatever other nickname his friends give him. Luke has a love for certain challenges on and off work, such as trying to eat the spiciest foods or trying to out drink anyone. He sometimes places bets on those challenges even if nobody asked him. Luke is completely unfiltered when it comes to speaking his mind. He might seem to be a rude bastard at times, his heart in the right place and he would take a bullet for anyone he calls a friend. When he is not working, he is mostly in his room made into a workshop where he creates all sorts of items. He is actually quite artistic with most items he makes, ranging from clocks all the way to jewelry. If it is a craft, he will certainly try to make it. He does miss making wood and ice sculptures from time to time.

Skills: When it comes to mechanics and tech, Luke is the top of his class. He is one of the very few people brave and talented  enough to work emergency situations even without safety features that he claims can sometimes just get in his way. He is also quite exceptional when it comes to his artistic hobbies. He is also a fantastic repairman for if anyone’s personal items break. There is not one thing he can’t repair and he challenges the crew to try to find his limits. Though he is not security, Luke is able to hold his ground when it comes to a fight as his time working with heavy machinery has gotten him some muscle combined with expertise in weapons he created himself.

Role: As the guy who fixes the ship and its equipment, he is they guy who needs to physically hold the place together so it can get from point A to point B an infinite amount of times. He is the guy you can count on to always to be honest with you. He treats life on the ship like it’s no different on Earth making the expedition feel less like a mission and more like a road trip.
