Short Bio: Lucas Cochran is the author, publisher, and distributer of an underground magazine called The Luminator. The Luminator has all the best in underground music, knowledge, and oh, of course, the supernatural. Lucas doesn't include a byline on any of his pieces.
Sample: Though he had excellent computer skills, Lucas still preferred to type his first drafts on the old Remington. Ribbons were increasingly hard to find, but there was something about the clacking of the keys that got his creative wheels turning. He had a lot of stories to get out of his head today - and very little time in which to get them done before he headed off to his day job as a mild-mannered barista at the coffee shop. His latest 'secret identity' was how he thought of it, but the truth was he had a hard time holding down a job. He was too distractable when it came to the ordinary task of working. What was the importance of such things anyhow, in such a world? All that mattered was the truth- and getting the truth out there.

History:
Lucas Cochran grew up in a middle class family with an unremarkable childhood. He had an average academic record, excelling in English and Journalism classes - but having that balanced out by his ineptitudes with math and phys ed so that his grade point average was in the solid middle ground. In college, he took up journalism and was perhaps headed for a career with a small town paper when his sister Lucy became a card carrying member of the walking dead after a torrid love afair with a vampire. Far from backing away from his sibling and her newfound fanginess, Lucas was facinated. He started becoming involved in researching the supernatural.
Lucy is his connection to that world, and still brings him information and gets him access to places he might not otherwise be able to get into on his own. He dropped out of college years ago, finding that it was a joke compared to his new life's work - writing The Luminator, the underground guide to all things supernatural. He had a new mission in life to attend to - bringing the truth to humanity, one paper at a time.
