Luca is a player character, currently out on the path of independence. He is played by Luca.
Luca has has a lightly toned yet not muscular build with olive skin. His face reveals a pair of brown eyes, bushy eyebrows, thin lips and a large nose. His black-brown hair is close cropped, but frumpy and spiked up at the front and back with long sideburns running down the sides of his head.
Rebellious, selfless, not too bright, always means good, Unyielding honour to those above. He has a hard time understanding how his mind works because he's an individualist first and foremost. He's been aching to join the Star Army for the prospect of a good pay or so it may seem, adventure and to meet new people. He doesn't observe manners or customs from time to time, but he is kind and benevolent. He seems to have an almost perpetual optimism no matter what the situation yields, come rain, shade or Mishhu.
Having been honourably discharged from the Star Army of Yamatai and seen quite a few colourful fellows, gained a few badges and almost got killed, twice - he decided to set out on his lonesome. He'll allow people and organisations to come to him with their problems and pay for helping out, like a mercenary. However, Luca tends to think that adventure finds him, and instead he's just getting a push in the right direction with every call that comes in - towards fame and adventure. He's still as optimistic as can be, if not smart-mouthed and quick to reference the movies.
He Likes: Adventure, Beer, Women, Action, Mateship, going to the Movies, Anything that makes a loud noise/fiery effect
He Dislikes: Stressful people, Mysterious people, Closed-Doors Administration, Neko Supremacists
His Goals?: Many and Unclear. Ranging from becoming a Superhero to being able to lift up a house with his bare hands and being able to smash through a wall with his face.
Born and raised on Yamatai, Luca is looking to make a quick buck from an adventurous lifestyle in the army. He's had a fairly stable life with his natural parents who always look out for him or help him as long as it's for his own good. However, when Luca's older brother went missing a couple of years back on a space trip, he's been rattled.
One part of Luca wanted to go into the Star Army of Yamatai, the other did not. He was pushed into the army by his overzealous employer, who figured he'd be a good addition to the army. And so, with a few words and a hurriedly packed Suitcase, Luca was pushed into the Army. Luca also thought it'd help him look for his Brother, Joseph.
Luca has had a short, stressful time in the YSS Goban, where he recieved his 'hands on experience' with his first assignment being to take down a rogue Custodian without any prior combat knowledge. Luca was injured heavily by shrapnel wounds during the ordeal and he barely managed to escape with the rest of his crew. Back at Yamatai, he was healed and transferred to the YSS Adauchi and placed at the Weapons seat.
Then came the horror of being captured by the Mishhu, then thrown into one of their prison cells. Luca does remain optimistic that he and his crew buddies get out, albeit some sarcasm.
Now he's made it out. He's now very confused as to why he was put in a simulated environment even after he was rescued by the First Fleet. He is now presented with the choice of staying with the army for another round, or being honourably discharged.
And his choice was to be Honourably Discharged. He's been paid some extra money and awards for compensation and for unknowingly helping to uncover a bit of madness which links to Shimada Chisato.
After the incident, Luca invited all of the ex-Goban crewmembers to a round of drinks at a local tavern before heading off on their own separate ways. He then met Hitori Sasorix and Jimothi Trakk on the way to his home town, Ralt. He also managed to reunite with his old friend John Morris in the process. With these new friends, Luca resolved to forge a name for himself in the universe, with his friends by his side, and he's starting by taking a job from 'Anonymous'
And that all worked out fine, earning a bit of money and gaining a few friends, including Michio Kano and Cranebeinn Themisto and founding the ISC Phoenix, a self-dubbed Interstellar Space Cruiser which takes odd jobs for fun and profit. He is now residing on Nepleslia, where he has been ordered to take down a fake doctor, who has been murdering people for seemingly sheer joy. Fortunately, he and his team have managed to bring down the doctor and earn some recognition from the Nepleslian public, and money.
He was then given something a bit more precarious to do than house renovation and furniture shopping. He and his crew have been placed on Delsauria and put in a two-building, one watch-tower, no-horse town and have been asked politely to defend it from Raiders who would sweep the place. Luca also met the mysterious Merchant, an odd fellow who wanders around with LOTS of guns to sell. It turns out the Raiders raised as Zombies under a virus. Some lengthily exposition was needed.
His most recent venture has had him taking on the Company that created the Virus. Halogli. Odd name, not so oddly questionable practices. His stealthy approach was messed up when he was separated from the rest of the crew, leaving them to go on while Luca tries to find something to do deep behind enemy lines. Way too deep behind enemy lines for comfort, mind you.
With time, effort, and torrents of hot, flying lead, the goal of destroying the virus was completed, and later the company was blasted out of the sky. The Star Military of Nepleslia Intelligence and Pacification Group showed up, issued Luca what seemed a bit like a warning not to try something that rash ever again, but still congratulating him and his crew for helping to eliminate a possible threat to Nepleslia. So Luca and crew headed home to relax and re-arm, satisfied with the pay and the fact that he may have saved the world - but still - he wanted to keep on saving it.
The call came out once more - this time a mysterious entity by the name of Cain wanted Luca's head on a plate and in return, he'd spare Yamatai and Nepleslia from a mysterious virus that turned people into killer monsters. Luca didn't take well to this hostage situation. With the help of the IPG once again, he and his crew were escorted to a barren system to the galactic west where the signal came from, designated “N-357”. It was here that Cain's fortress resided amongst the lushness of the planet, and he had some righteous infliction to deal out to him and his lieutenants.
During the course of the siege, Luca and his team split into two teams to do more damage. Luca's team encountered an invisible man, who was taken down once his disguise was taken from him. However, Hitori went missing. Luca didn't pay mind to it, thinking that she'd scouted ahead. However, it was revealed that she'd been taken hostage. He then decided to power his way through the building, get very badly injured in the process, accidentally shoot himself up on an aphrodisiac, then take down a couple of squads of Reds. He had a grenade put down his pants for groping Arin. He survived by throwing it.
Luca and his squad eventually found their way over to the holding cells. They found Hitori and faced off with her captor. Luca was able to get a knife slice in, or so he thought. A Power Armoured Ninja cut the captor into a 16 piece puzzle. Nobody knew whose side this ninja was on, but he was useful. The ninja ran off with a cloaking field, and Luca and company advanced. They regrouped with the other squad and took the elevator to Cain's Throne Room with valuable information. During the trip, the information was sent to the IPG and to SAINT to deal with the Virus, which was being sent via missile.
The final showdown with Cain happened only after the team had a fitting last meal, for Cain, at least. Cain was eventually defeated in a hail of gunfire and punches. However, it seemed like Cain had gotten a hit of his own Virus, becoming something very, very similar to Vitriol, and much, much bigger. The team had no choice, they had to: “Come get some!”. More and more fighting commenced, with the use of heavy ordnance. The Cain/Vitriol fusion was finally defeated when a Reds goon that was spared at the start of the campaign let some HEX beams do the work. He was also kind enough to leave an entire Vampire Class Patrol Ship to them. It was stolen as the base begun to fall apart and explode.
On the way back home, something interesting happened. Coming across a Custodian Android drifting in space was strange, and somewhat frightening for the merc, even after his Goban days - but he reluctantly left it on ship. He also decided that an offscreen quickie was in order with Hitori. However - once he started to relax, he called himself back into action when Tami came under siege of the NMX. He had trouble navigating through bureaucracy with the defensive locals on Tami, but managed to plough through it and land. He was even informed to leave, but as he left, the battle started - and he couldn't resist jumping back in. Arse was kicked and there was a decisive bubblegum shortage.
It came to a climax when he ran into the woman who was allowing him to stay on the planet - but she'd been given a Mishhu makeover. She managed to wound the captain in a gunfight, but she came out second best in the end. He decided that it'd be a good idea to gather up everything in his base on Nepleslia, put it on his newly acquired ship, and fly to Nepleslia prime to have a proper holiday. During which, he also garnered new crewmembers. However, this has been easier said than done, since he's been under fire from various mercenaries looking to collect the 50,000 KS bounty on his head, without success.
Luca has taken well to the following crew members and friends
Sometimes, Luca makes enemies, whether he wants to or not.
Luca isn't the most skilled of people, he is yet to receive any Army Training. However, he does know…
Luca can speak fluent Trade, enough Yamatai-Go to get by, and a little bit of Italian (For making contact with his extended family). He is familiar with basic radio and Communicator operations, and is trying to learn more on the subject.
He is also able to use Telepathy, as can any other Yamataian. He just chooses not to very often, or to screw with people.
Luca has been known to take up lessons Karate and Judo, as well as having some lessons of his own with the local Nepleslian gang. He is proficient in unarmed combat. He can disarm someone, break an arm or leg and pin someone using brute strength just to name a few.
He also had a crash course on the YSS Goban on how to use personal firearms. His shooting style tends to be showy, and seems to be adept at shooting things in peoples hands for some reason.
See Luca Pavone's Unarmed Attacks for the full list
Luca is quite an athletic fellow, using a mix of mantras and pure strength to lead him on. He can Sprint, Swim, Jump quite well and he is currently learning Acrobatics, and is improving.
Luca can drive and make light repairs to Motor Cycles or similar means of transport. He enjoys offroad biking and stunt jumps in particular.
Luca seems to be unusually calm and collected most of the time with his 'Yes I see the Mishhu, what else is new?' type attitude. Fear just washes through him without any visible effect. However, if something major happens to his current life choices (such as being transferred to the Army unknowingly), that'll set him off like a bomb.
Circumstance and Charisma has put Luca in a position of leadership. He is able to deliver orders to his peers, and in some cases, to others. He is able to co-ordinate and direct people into or away from a fight.
| Weapons | ||
|---|---|---|
| Pistols/Light Arms | ||
 | Ketsurui Zaibatsu Type 28 10mm Pistol With 3 extra magazines. Worn in a black leather holster on the left side. | |
 | Zen Armaments 10mm Submachine Pistol found on Delsauria. Needs a bit of a clean, but in good condition otherwise. | |
| Dartgun | A small air-powered, breech-loading dartgun nabbed in a Nepleslian Hospital, for usual use as patient control should they go out of control. Loaded with Tranquilliser Darts and kept in the Jacket. | |
| Hero Handgun | It'd only be a matter of time before Luca picked this up. He found it as he left Cain's Base. | |
| Rifles/Heavy Arms | ||
| T-F1 "Dragonsbreath" | The “Dragonsbreath” looks somewhat like a boxy SMG with a large vent near the butt and a nozzle in place of a muzzle. The tool is a perfect compliment to a Technician or repairman’s arsenal, because it functions both as a tool and a personal defence weapon. | |
| “Roomsweeper” Combat Shotgun | An internally fed, Lever-Action shotgun that took 7 12-gauge shells. The barrel was roughly 20” long with iron sights and a stock that'd been whittled down to a pistol grip for compact reasons. Fortunately the Recoil isn't too bad. The only reason Luca knew the fine details is because it had a little label on it telling the specifications. This weapon is currently broken! | |
| Tripe-Barrelled “Nightmare” Shotgun | A triple-barrelled, break action shotgun which took 12 gauge cartridges. It had a sight of some sort, but it wouldn't be of much use for THAT baby. | |
| M'cel Launcher | Sold to Luca by the Merchant. A powerful little gun capable of levelling fields of foes with the right sort of ammo loaded in. | |
| Styrling 12-Shot | Holds 5 shots plus one chambered, a very functional combat shotgun nicked while leaving Cain's base. | |
| Ammo Dump | Number | Description |
| KZ 10x25mm Bullets | 80 | The essential bullet. 10x25mm rounds. Half are hollow point, half are full metal jacket. |
