Character description[]
Physical appearance[]
Luke is a pretty buff young man with silver and black fur covering his body. He would often cut his hair in a mullet, wear aviator sunglasses and occasionally a leather jacket. He often wears his badge on his belt and his gun holster in a cross draw style.
Persona[]
Luke is a courageous but also hot headed, no nonsense cop. Luke is considered to be a "boy scout" in his own way, as he goes against rules and reason to fight for what's right and would put his honor first.
Luke doesn't come without his flaws though as he is known to be very impatient, and too often has self loathing/doubt issues. He holds a resentment towards superheroes, and views them as inferior to the real heroes (i.e. police officers, firemen, lawyers, or doctors).
