Taking on the traditional appearance of a sheikah, with white hair and accompanying striking red eyes, it is quite easy to discern Luca’s lineage. Moreso with the addition of his traditional tattoos, with the Eye of the Sheikah being tattooed onto the center of his forehead with the teardrop reaching down to the tip of his nose, alongside the angled triangles that are just underneath both of his eyes. Both of his pointed ears are pierced, normally fitted with matching pairs of rings but sometimes adorned with jewlery of different kinds depending on the environment and culture that he is surrounded by. Most of his clothing will change on the dime, with similar stipulations to that of his earrings, with the one consistent element of his attire being a sleeveless turtleneck, featuring a larger version of the Sheikah eye at its center.

He is of rather average height, with a decently slim frame and defined muscles due to his training as a Sheikah. While he doesn’t have a particular preference towards clothing, anything with an extra flair will be something he’d like to get his hands on, with variations for any place in Hyrule.



A sharp tongue for a sharp mind, would be the way that many who know Luca would refer to him. From a young age he was always clear that he was bright, picking up on academics, languages, and concepts fairly easily compared to others his age, and this didn not stop as he grew older. What did happen was that he had learned how to utilize all of the knowledge he had accumulated, whether it was used to solve problems or read people, he had done so expertly. This naturally gave rise to a more arrogant and elitist mindset, not one that had him belittling others but one that recognized his talents and flaunting them knowingly, ensuring that he always had enough bite to back up his bark.

Accompanied with his good looks, Luca naturally utilizes his wit and vocabulary to take advantage of a situation whenever he can, never feeling like he truly succeeded unless having the upper hand by the end of the conversation. With this came curiosity, one that makes him eager to find out more about a person and very engaging in conversations, often sliding questions here and there to allow someone to want to open up more to him and trust him. While he does use this to his advantage, he is not that much of a rotten person, often unwilling to take a ruse or advantage far enough to cause serious harm to someone unless they had truly deserved it. But in either case, he knows who he is and what he wants, and what methods he can use to do so.


Much like most other sheikah, Luca was born in Kakiriko Village, where his family presumably resided for a number of years, and a place that Luca would soon come to loathe. Not for his people or their traditions, but of the enclosed nature of their home, where they came across few outsiders and even less so friendly ones. As a youngling, Luca was bright beyond his years and always wanted to know more, so being kept in the village was seen as an obstacle in his path. But he would not leave just yet, as for much of his childhood there was the training that he would undergo daily in order to fulfill their ‘purpose. Just like most other things he had learned, the boy was quick in picking up the fundamentals and advanced techniques of the Sheikah, being very skilled at hiding his presence, blending into a crowd, and traversing the many obstacles that he was told Hyrule had to offer.

Whenever the world outside was mentioned, there was a need for the young Luca to venture out in search of discovery, and sooner than he expected he would get his wish. With the attacks of the Starlight Tragedy leaving him alone, and with what little he had he was left to wander. The young man then found himself at the Death Mountain tribe of the Gorons, where he would live out some of his young adult life learning from them and mastering his two favored weapons: the cestus and the meteor hammer. Here he would also discover his passion for invention, with his first creation being a modified storage space he would call: the Sheikah Case. Coming to terms with the opportunity that was placed upon him, Luca left the Death Mountain tribe and is now travelling Hyrule as a travelling merchant and inventor, hoping to discover more ways to utilize his talents.
