Luke is a Heatmor from around the more volcanic part of the Victory Road area in Unova. He differs from most Heatmor with his fancy demeanor and vegetarian lifestyle, and acts higher-class than he actually is.

Characteristics
Luke is very fond of tea and coffee and a semi-luxurious lifestyle, though he can go without if necessary. He speaks with a somewhat fancy accent and enunciates words, also somehow managing to find more words to say a simple sentence, though not to an extreme.

He's not good with technology, only understanding basic gear functions thanks to Philip's assistance. He also understands basic business, but not enough, and again, Philip steps in there. He feels he owes a lot to Philip, even though he's just trying to make up what he owes to Luke.

He maintains a well-groomed coat through daily care and the occasional brief hot shower. He has a slightly stockier build than normal, but he's relatively fit, though he can become exhausted more quickly than others. He has sharp claws which he loves to use in the rare occasion that he ends up in a fight, and an intense flame which he loves to display at nighttime, as well as apply to more helpful uses like cooking and brewing his coffee and tea.

Philip
Philip and Luke's friendship initially started as a business partnership after Philip was rescued from shadier company. Luke needed someone to help get him tea, and Philip was adept at getting goods through bartering. His partnership with Philip has evolved from simply business to a true friendship. Lately, it has grown even closer to the point of a sort of father-son bond, given how Luke watches over him and even feels pride in his accomplishments. He also worries about Philip if he hasn't seen him in a while, but keeps the knowledge in his heart that he can fend for himself.

Bruce and Vicky
It all started when Luke invited Bruce for tea and coffee. Initially, the plan was to have Bruce teleport to Luke's cave in Unova, but eventually Luke ended up in Cianwood himself, where Bruce and his mate, Vicky the Mienshao, resided. The three, along with Cragma and Robert, had plenty of get-togethers focused around tea or coffee.

Bruce helped convince Luke to move into Cianwood entirely, by finding a cave to move into. He even came to visit once it had been further furnished. Despite not being much of a fighter, Luke expresses interest in Bruce's mixed martial arts matches, even if he can't attend them.

Cragma and Robert
Luke was introduced to Cragma the Blaziken and Robert the Torkoal, and found out they had the same destination for a similar purpose. Cragma had become close friends with Robert, and Luke joined their company, forming a kinship of Fire-types. They helped each other through various troubles, such as getting a couch, taking care of one another when one happened to turn into a Durant, or even teaching Robert to read somewhat. They have also all sparred with each other before to help build each others' strength.

Precious
Precious, a Purugly, was invited over by Luke when he heard of her troubles. Her and Luke's fancy demeanors go well together, and the two can carry on a somewhat intelligent conversation. Luke learned to like ginger ale by her suggestion, and she worked on her fitness by his. Despite her not getting along as well with Cragma or Robert, Luke gladly acts as a friend to all.

Upon discovering that she actually had feelings for him, Luke decided to go along with them, admitting that he had a certain liking to her as well. So far, the two have gotten close and enjoy each other's company. They even shared interest in starting a family through adoption, which they did, with a Sentret named Sarah. She helps take care of her as well as being a sort of cook for the whole family.

Pre-Twitter
Hatched in a relatively small family of other Heatmor, his life was quite typical. In his mid-childhood, he witnessed a traumatic experience while consuming a Durant: The children and relatives of said Durant watching, in horror, as he consumed it. After this, he refused to eat any sort of Durant or meat offered to him, and starved for a short while until he was fed a few Oran Berries. At first, he had an adverse reaction, but was able to adapt.

Soon, he moved out on his own, capable of foraging his own food, and he grew a love for tea after trying some offered to him. He went beyond tea in changing his lifestyle, developing a more gentlemanly way of talking among others. His desire for tea led him to find a way to get some of his own, along with a tea set. He eventually found a bartering agent in a Pawniard named Philip, whom he rescued from a life of potential shadier activities under the company of a rogue Bisharp. The two grew close together in a business partnership that evolved into a friendship.

Recent
Luke took his first steps out of Unova when he was offered a bit of tea with Bruce, a Machoke in Cianwood, Johto. He snuck onto a cargo ship after speaking with Cragma, a Blaziken, and Robert, a Torkoal, learning that they intended to do similar, but was found quickly after breaking into the kitchen. He glutted himself on a specific brand of Pokémon food until the ship docked, after which he was thrown into the water.

What was intended to be a brief stay soon became out of hand, as the various friends he made along the way started to turn into various Steel-types, thanks to a certain Mismagius. Cragma became a Durant, in a mocking fashion to Luke's species. However, they made the best of the situation with him adopting Cragma as a temporary pet under the name "Scuttles". During this time, a game of fetch made Luke realize that he needed to start a diet and exercise plan, which he has stuck to rigorously since.

After everyone had returned to their normal forms, Bruce suggested that Luke move into Cianwood, and he found a suitable cave. He sent Philip away for his luggage, then, after having odd worries about his friend's safety, decided to let Philip live with him, even setting up a separate bed. Further furnishings were added, thanks to Robert and Cragma.

Catching wind of a "damsel in distress" of sorts, Luke invited Precious, a Purugly, to stay in Cianwood for a bit, in order to escape her stressful life dealing with a Typhlosion and Skuntank who seemed to have it in for her. The two got along fairly well with their matching set of elegant behaviors, and Luke and several others discovered a like for ginger ale.

Luke soon found himself under the same curse that Cragma had, thanks again to the same Mismagius. In this case, the roles were reversed, and Cragma became the pet owner. The two, along with Robert, Philip, and Precious, traveled the mainland of Johto, seeking fame and fortune through "Scuttles"'s talents among other things. Thanks to Philip, the venture was fairly profitable.

This didn't last, however, when Luke and Cragma entered the Ruins of Alph. They found themselves surrounded by Unown, and the old Heatmor was back after being bathed in a blinding light. Regardless, the group journeyed on. They learned how to dance from a Meloetta, and Precious admitted her feelings for Luke, with him willing to follow along with them.

Once arriving back in Cianwood, Precious once again stayed with Luke and Philip. Luke let her do a bit of fixing up around the house, like making the bed more comfortable. The two grew closer as time went on, even getting to share the same bed. Meanwhile, Philip got a job as a butcher to bring in a small amount of income to save up.

While Luke continued to search for a job for himself, the topic of starting a family came up. After a long period of thought, he and Precious settled on adopting a Sentret. They brought their new daughter, Sarah, to a kind home, and Robert ended up becoming an unofficial uncle. Afterward, Luke finally got a job for himself, working at the docks, as a somewhat temporary position as he waited for the local tea shop to open up a job offer instead. Despite not being his dream job, he still benefitted physically, and took the weekends to relax with the family and pursue hobbies such as carving.
