luca abraham carver
PERSONALITY Boggart: His mother with her skull split open asking him why he left her Mirror of Erised: His lost wife surrounded by their children Patronus: panther - his wedding day Luca is an intimidating fellow. He’s not particularly effusive when he speaks, but speaks his mind bluntly and to the point. He can also sometimes be crass, coming off as being little more than an ignorant street urchin. He is not wildly intelligent in traditional ways, but he has an excellent understanding of particular things, an almost instinctual knowledge. He has also worked extremely hard throughout his life to educate himself and has a broad knowledge base despite the fact that it rarely seems so from talking to him in casual conversation. He is strong willed and stubborn beyond all comprehension. He can be dogmatic in his beliefs. He borders on arrogance, though life experience has tempered this tendency quite a lot. He knows what he is capable of and he knows what he is not capable of and he will simply tell you one way or another. He is never one to mince words, and wittines will never be his strong suit. He is also loyal to a fault to those he cares for. He has a soft spot for children and loves his job more than he would probably ever admit outloud. He is patient and kind with them in a way he never is with other adults. He especially likes those students who are struggling. Luca, over all, likes to help people. It makes him feel accomplished and worthy, though he often does it with no strings attached other than that. He is not unfriendly, just difficult to get to know in any meaningful way. He can be closed off about himself and he does not acknowledge his own feelings often. HISTORY Mother: Lynette Carver, deceased, muggle. Father: Unknown. Siblings: John Carver, 34, muggle.

Partners: Adrienne Taylor, deceased, half blood, Ravenclaw. Others: . Luca Abraham Carver was the oldest of six children, though he never personally knew his father. His mother had him when she was just sixteen, poor and undereducated with no family of her own. Luca was her whole world, but she had more problems than she had answers, and his eldest two brothers followed him after just two years, twins John and Leon. The world was most unkind to her type and also to her children. Luca’s early childhood was far from easy and there are things he still refuses to talk about to this day. He basically raised himself and the rest of his siblings, scrounging and stealing, sometimes because they had to, and sometimes because they were bored. Men would come and go, some kinder than others, but most becoming enraged as soon as they saw the children. Luca didn’t pay them any mind, just tried to keep them away from his siblings. By the age of eleven he was a proper street tough, could fight off boys twice his size, with a certain viciousness that made the other children in the neighborhood admire and fear him. He could barely read or write, but he knew how to make things happen, and sometimes things just happened for him that he had no idea how they even occured. It was Dumbledore who rescued him from the trajectory of his life, a larger than life figure in their two room flat in London. Luca didn’t trust him, didn’t want to leave his mother, or his brothers and sisters, but his mother begged him. She cried and kissed him when he left to catch the train and he nearly missed it because he had to march John and Leon back to their street twice to stay home. He was still poor, and he could still barely read, though Dumbledore had given him the name of someone who had helped him quite a lot with that, but he was special for the first time in his life. Hogwarts was a haven for him. He grew almost three inches before his first year was over, for the first time in his life he didn’t have to worry about where his next meal was coming from. He took to learning like a fish to water, though he had to work very hard at it. He didn’t mind it, it was better than picking pockets and starting fights. He was friendly, though often wary, and his mouth ran faster than his mind too often so he made more than a few enemies in that way. He couldn’t stand to see someone picking on someone weaker and he didn’t tolerate it when it came his way either. He was in the headmaster’s office by his second year for fighting, he broke a fourth year’s nose when he had found him threatening to string a first year up in the great hall. He was warned sternly, but his professors generally liked him and vouched for him. It was a trend throughout his career at Hogwarts, he was never afraid of a fight, too scrappy and street smart to back down even when he should have. He was, however, a good student who worked very hard and more he was helpful when he could be. The week before Christmas break in his fourth year an owl came with terrible news. His mother had been killed by her latest boyfriend in a drug induced rage. His brothers and sisters were going to stay with a third cousin in the country. He was to stay at Hogwarts for his breaks because his cousin “couldn’t afford another mouth.” His sister, Rosemary, had also been accepted to Hogwarts and was in her first year. They cried together in the Headmaster’s office and a change began to work over Luca. He had been studious before, but now he became absolutely obsessed with school work. He also asked the headmaster to allow him to take odd jobs for pay around the grounds, which he graciously allowed. He sent all of his money to his brothers, to help care for them, and he wrote to them religiously. Summers were hell after that, his cousin owned a pig farm, and expected them all to work incredibly hard. Luca didn’t mind that, but he did mind being treated worse than most of the animals, and having to know that it was what his siblings had to deal with all year round. He went on to graduate from Hogwarts in the top of the class with a line in to the Ministry. He decided to become a hit wizard. He still had a natural bend towards violence from childhood and he took a good deal of satisfaction in it. As soon as he was of legal age, he became his siblings guardian. He took out a house in London and did the best he could to finish raising them into adulthood. The damage was done for the most part, but Luca never stopped trying for them. He excelled in his career in the Ministry, but he had almost no social life. He had five siblings to care for and the burden weighed on him heavily. He still managed to meet someone though when he was 23. He was instantly in love with her, true love at first sight. He knew nothing about her other than her name, Adrienne, but he pursued her relentlessly, and eventually she agreed to go on a date with him. They hit it off and less than a year later, they were married. Luca had never been so happy in his short life. His siblings loved her too, and he felt for once that things were going to go well with the rest of his life. Things did go well for the most part. There were the usual hiccups, one of his brother’s got arrested, jobs were lost and gained. He wanted children of his own and they began to try after their first year of marriage. Something didn’t take though, and they were never able to have any children of their own. Luca told her it was fine, but she continued to seek out a solution for years after. Luca was doing well in his career and his siblings were doing well for themselves when things began to take a turn for the worse. Voldemort was rising to power, and work was getting to be more and more miserable. More often than not, Luca was finding dead bodies and not being able to do anything about it. His frustration translated to his home life and his relationship with Adrienne began to become more and more strained. He also lived with the constant fear that one of his family would be targeted, he was a very successful hit wizard, a muggle born, with more than a few muggle siblings. It was common knowledge and his wife was a half-blood. Fear and powerlessness to stop the turning tide made him almost impossible to be around. He began working longer and longer hours. He told his muggle brothers and sisters to stay away from him if they could, becoming cruel at times. Adrienne was in muggle relations at the Ministry and was working longer hours too. One night though, she did not come home. She had disappeared. Luca had initially thought it was a fluke, that she was angry with him for something, they fought often enough now that it wouldn’t have been a surprise. After a week, he was a man driven insane. He couldn’t sleep, he had been drinking to excess, he had been going around in his off hours and searching for her. She was never found. Luca was absolutely convinced that the Death Eater’s had taken her and he swore to get his revenge. He became out of control and after a near miss on a special outing with a few of his other hit wizards, he was forced to take a leave of absence. He turned to alcohol for solace and spent nearly two years simply drinking himself into a stupor. His brothers and sisters tried to rouse him from his rut, but he was intolerable. The only one who could stomach him was Rosemary, and she mainly muffled her ears with a spell so she could clean his house and force him to eat twice a week. Dumbledore once again saved him from the trajectory of his life. He appeared one day without warning and in none too gently words told Luca he was being ridiculous and wasting himself. He offered him a job as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He didn’t take it at first, but after several months of consideration and some tough love from Rosemary, he did. He was thirty years old when he took his position there at the school. He was stiff and awkward for his first year. He felt unworthy of the job and unworthy of anyone’s trust. Slowly though he began to see his students succeeding, he began to appreciate that he had the ability to teach them to protect themselves against the looming threat of the Dark Lord. He took to it with gusto after he had this epiphany. OOC  Play By: Jon Bernthal Your Alias: Hux Pronouns: Her/she Age: 28 Other Characters: None Where did you find us: Proboards support |
