EVERGREEN, LUCAQUINCY(not so)EXTRAORDINAIRE
[ Forever Strong like a Pine Tree
Always an Evergreen ]
Occupation: Breadmaker
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height & Weight: 5'9" & 145 lbs
Hair & Eye Color: Dark Chesnut & Ochre.
Ethnicity: Half European(Germanic) / Half Japanese
Accent + Languages: When speaking his native tongue, Japanese, his speech will not seem too different from most citizens besides minor roughness and a lower tone. In his second language, English, it's not too difficult for him to seem as though it were his first language, speaking with the bare minimum of an accent. After realizing his family were originally from Germany however, he has attempted to learn the language of the land however for some unknown reason when speaking it he is much softer than normal.
Demeanor: Luca's demeanor is very dependent on the situation, however if you were to catch him walking all by his lonesome you would notice his eyes wandering off to faraway places, even as his head is rigidly facing forward his body seems to dance with each step. When approached a smile never fails to show itself, and as if on cue his eyes brighten as they try to maintain eye contact. Though if he is comfortable with the other person his movements becomes light and exasperated, mimicking his sarcastic tone of voice. In mock battles, his posture is loose yet precise, as though he wants to mock the opponent while outclassing them. In a battle he deems serious, his posture is precise and rigid, his attacks calculated within the moment, striking quickly and with a bang.

[ I NEVER WANTED TO LOVE ]
Physical Description: Luca is a very kind looking creature, his soft ochre eyes seemingly taking in the entire world in front of him. He has slightly unkempt dark brown hair is sloped to the left, barely meeting the very bottom of his forehead. Being around 5'9" in height, and 145lbs soaking wet, one would not think too much of the boy, especially in his usual attire of a dark button up, and light tan pants. If close enough, someone may be able to notice the faint smell of bread, along with the calming scent of freshly picked flowers brought in daily to his home. Luca rarely looks down at his feet, especially when walking, however even so it could be said he never wants to be noticed, hopping from one shadow to the next. It's not as though he is sly or afraid, and his posture mimics this sentiment as his shoulders never seem to slack, and his feet never shuffle. His quick stride is one with pride, pride that he would rather bask in alone. A humble voice only used when necessary, he is a man of few words, and even fewer actions, wasting very little energy unless unavoidable. When speaking in his native tongue of german Luca is oddly soft, however there is a sense of authority about the way he speaks. Luca's japanese is very soft, giving off the sense of a calm and kind man.
Spiritual Description: A soft boy full of hope for a world to grow, his presence feels much like a fire beginning to burn, perhaps more akin to a fireplace being stoked in the dead of winter, his glow is small now, but will shine a bright orange in the future. An aura of fall colors, bright and dancing surrounds Luca, the faint smell of bread overpowered by flowers fresh from the fields.
[ TRUTH IS
I'M THE ONE ]
Personality:
Luca is a rather easy-going child, and has been since he first arrived in this world. Very accepting of others, he would prefer to become friends to those who share his air than waste his breath bickering, however he does not back down from his beliefs, and if he feels another is wrong in an unacceptable way, he will show no courtesy. To the races of the world, he has no prejudices, and in fact has attempted to communicate with Hollow once or twice. These attempts have all led to nothing but the extermination of said hollow however, and so he has chalked the majority to be nothing more than empty beasts, and will kill them if necessary. Having no knowledge at the moment of other beings like himself, whether they be Quincy, Shinigami, or others, he would prefer to stay close and maintain a friendly relationship. This goes especially so for Quincy as he would likely ask to be trained by one he particularly trusts.
Out of everything in his world, the family that surrounds him are of the utmost importance. This does not only count towards blood relation as those he has befriended and those he will all count under this broad generalization. Much like the Evergreen family who were once a known force in Germany, Luca does not let simple things like blood tie him down, for those he has shared a bond with have become his family. This family is his to protect and provide for, nothing else matters when this family is in danger, not even his life. On a less serious scale, he is much akin to a elder brother or father-like figure to his friends, oftentimes nitpicking them or making sure their health is being taken care of.
Abandonment is something Luca is not fond of. Death would be the only reason to abandon those who need aid, and as such he is often mistaken to be naive in his ways. While he knows it is true you cannot help every single person survive, he knows he must try his best to help as many people possible, for that is the way his family lived, and how it always will. Luca will throw himself into harms way as long as he is able to make sure the well being of another is not in peril, even if that person may have wronged him. This is not to say Luca cannot recognize one who only wants to use Luca's loyalty as if such a situation were to arise and he were to identify it, said person would be on the other end of Luca's fist.
Luca is an outspoken man and has no worry whether his words will hurt others, this does not mean he is rude or aggressive in nature, he just has no reason to be insecure of his words or thoughts. He is confident enough to know that those who try to change him are nothing more than people who wish to use him, and he has no need to pretend to be anything other than what he is. This can oftentimes make him come off as insensitive or aloof, however those who truly know him know otherwise.
Goals & Achievements:
Friendship/Family
Growing up taking care of either one of his parents at multiple points in time, he feels he never truly has sustained a lasting friendship, and hopes to change this. Much like his father, Luca believes anyone can become family with enough time and trust, and once they are that friendship never fades even in the darkest of times. He wishes to create his own family like his great-great-grandfather once did.
Provide
Luca hopes to be able to provide for all of those who have placed trust in him, whether it be shelter, food, or kindness matters not.
Become Strong
Watching Karakura fall apart, Luca never wants an event like that to happen again, however he knows only the strong can influence the world, so he must become strong.
[ BUT YOU'VE GOT NOTHING THAT'S WRONG ]
Quincy Cross:
Luca's cross is a seemingly normal red quartz crystal string up by a thin black cloth band tied into a knot. This crystal was given to him by his father and mother to unbeknownst to Luca, quell his spiritual pressure by sealing it inside the crystal. He cherishes this item more than any other in the world as it is the last item he received from his mother before she passed on. When using his Quincy powers the crystal may begin to float and exert energy equal to the power Luca is drawing.
Power:
The limit of a Quincy is their bodies limited amount of Reishi flow, Luca's passive ability allows him body to increase the amount of Reishi absorbed and let out the more damaged his body or consciousness becomes. This causes his Quincy and physical capabilities to exponentially increase as a battle continues.
Spirit Weapon:
The manifestation of Reishi is something Luca has little concept of, however even with the barely tangible knowledge he has, he has put two and two together to be able to concentrate Reishi into his arms, forearms, and lower legs to effectively become his own weapon. Recently after watching other Quincy combat at the even in Karakura town, he is able to manifest a raw energy version of his bow. This bow in it's energy form is a nearly 6' long swirling mass of orange, red, and blue forming a greatbow that doubles as a lance. If he were able to manifest a physical form, one would immediately notice how it is less of a bow, and more of a sword-lance. A dark brass in color, it is ornately sculpted with several choke points along the 5' long handle leading up to it's blade which extends outwards a foot into the base of it's equally stunning blade. The blade is 4' in length etched with a floral pattern surrounding a tree of life. In bow form the blade dissipates and a string appears, once pulled back the 5' handle bows to become a great-bow.
[ THE STORY SO FAR ]
Origin:
A beautifully small town on the egde of Berlin saw the birth of an anomaly. A child so heavy in spiritual pressure that the mother practically vibrated during the delivery. Yes, thanks to Leea Evergreen and Midori Hana, Luca Evergreen saw the worlds light with nothing but the sky as his limit. While Midori was a normal human, Leea was no ordinary man, and due to this Leea hoped Luca could follow in his footsteps, leading a small group of Quincy that resided in Germany. His dreams fell short when Midori fell ill shortly after Luca arrived home from the hospital. This caused a chain reaction that eventually led to the family relocating back to Midori's hometown of Nagoya. This was not all bad however, as Luca found friends in his next door neighbors Charlotte and Minato.
