[ Character's Name ] : Luka Redgrave
[ Character's Age ] : 25
[ Series ] : Bayonetta
[ Canon Point ] : After Game
[ History ] :
Born the son of journalist Antonio Redgrave, Luka was witness to the criticisms heaped upon his father for following fairytales and folklore - namely, the truth behind the Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages. This led to his untimely end when the two uncover a coffin under a lake. The moment he examines the coffin, he reawakens Bayonetta from her 500 year sleep. Antonio finds himself lifted from the lake and his back is snapped, brutally killed by angels who had come for the masked woman. She disappears to battle them though it was far too late to save Antonio. Luka was witness to all this and due to untrained humans being unable to see angels, is led to believe Bayonetta is his father’s killer.
Twenty years later, Luka follows in his father’s footsteps and becomes a journalist himself. He uses his father’s notes as leads to track Bayonetta and finally catches up to her in Vigrid. Though he attempts to expose her and steal a few snapshots, he gets thoroughly embarrassed outwitted and lets his quarry get away. Believing her to have escaped, Luka shouts after her that she only runs because she has him to fear.
Luka manages to escape being torched in Vigrid and meets up with Bayonetta again at the Crescent and Sunrise Vallies. After getting a face full of lipstick graffiti and being put in a position most would kill to be in, he finds her gone again.
Moments later, they meet again in the Vigrid Air Force Base where he finds a strange child following after Bayonetta who refers to her as “Mummy”. He notes that she is around the age he was when his father was killed and comes to one conclusion: Bayonetta killed her parents and enchanted her to make her believe the witch was her mother.
Cereza is put in Luka’s care and he ends up nabbing a Military vehicle in order to beat Bayonetta to Isla del Sol, the location of the Ithavol Group which seems to have ties to the Lumen Sages. Thanks to angels destroying Providence Bridge, none of them can make it across and to the island. Cereza and Luka turn back and Bayonetta runs off to deal with more angels.
Forced to find an alternate route, Cereza and Luka hoof it. Cereza trips and cries, leading Luka to try and stop her to by giving her candy… which proves rather effective. Soon after, they are attacked by angels and Cereza enchants her glasses, allowing Luka to finally them for himself. Seeing them and Bayonetta in action causes him to recall his father’s death and give it a second thought.
He and Cereza are reunited again with Bayonetta at the Vigrid Air Force Base where they hatch a plan to get on the island. Before they could leave, another angel makes its appearance. Cereza is nearly crushed but saved last minute by Spidercat Luka. However, he looses his grip and the two are separated. Luka is left on the airfield while Bayonetta and Cereza end up on the plane.
Luka manages to hijack a helicopter and rescues Cereza and Bayonetta (kinda) as the plane they were on goes down. When they get closer to the island, he gets… distracted… and the helicopter gets wrecked. The only way to get to the island is by missile and Luka is forced to hang on for dear life while Bayonetta takes the… wheel? When they finally get to the island, Luka manages to snag Cereza and the missile controls back from Jeanne during her fight with Bayonetta.
Luka emerges again inside the Ithavoll Building with Cereza and meets up with Bayonetta again in Balder’s office. There, he learns the truth behind his father’s death and is nearly consigned to the same thing.
He survives and after Cereza is returned to her rightful time, attempts to help Bayonetta when she is overcome by the power of Jubileus. Unfortunately, he is forced to sit and watch as Jeanne and Bayonetta take the battle to space.
The next we see of him is at Bayonetta’s funeral where he brings two large bunches of rosemary now that “remembrance” might suit her better. Apparently, no one told him the funeral was a set up for as angels come for Bayonetta, the nun presiding over the funeral is revealed to be Jeanne. Bayonetta emerges from her coffin and the attack against the angels continues.
[ Personality ] :
Luka’s main motivation lies in finding his father’s killer and getting revenge. This made him follow after his father’s footsteps: using his notes and discovering the truth behind the Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages. Because of this, he can be quite knowledgeable, having done his fair share of study over the years. He claims to know the truth, believing solidly in everything his father had discovered and is willing to expose that truth. He’s rather good at gathering information due to his being a journalist and will go through any lengths to get his information. He’d managed to plant a bug on Enzo, Bayonetta’s information mole though this bug was discovered and disposed of.
He can be quite willful and determined because of this. Luka is incessant and hard to shake off. No matter how far Bayonetta gets, he always manages to bump into her one way or another. Of course, not all his plans are perfect. Some are rather sloppily thought through due to his brash nature. Sometimes, he just makes it up as he goes along. When something doesn't work out, he has the tendency to cuss up a storm.
Despite this, he has a rather happy go lucky personality. When not dealing with anything business related, Luka is rather carefree. He manages to smile despite everything that happened in his childhood. He also has a soft spot for children and shows himself empathizing with Cereza due to his childhood.
Luka has no combat abilities whatsoever but he has impeccable timing. If someone needs to be pulled out of a fight or if he needs to make an escape, he uses a grappling hook to make that quick getaway. He’s rather loyal to those who he considers important and will do what he can to help them out of a pinch or make sure no harm comes to them.
He can also be a rabid skirt chaser. If it’s human, looks to be under 30 and female, he’s all over it. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work out for him very well. His cheap pickup lines do little to impress any ladies or land him a date. He may have the idea down pat but the execution leaves a LOT to be desired. Usually, he leaves the ladies feeling stunned in the “WTF was that” sense rather than the “damn, I forgot to get his number” sense. Unfortunately, he’s not much for the overly aggressive type. He tends to fluster easily for a playboy.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
STRENGTHS:
-Grappling hook! Spiderman mode!
- Quick thinker
WEAKNESSES:
-do first, think later which makes him pretty careless
-…babes.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
-As much as he hates it, Bayonetta rarely calls him “Luka” and rather chooses to call him Cheshire. He never tires of correcting her and anyone else who gets it wrong.
[ Sample ] :
He’d stumbled aimlessly through unfamiliar streets for a while. This did NOT look like Vigrid. Hell, this didn’t look like anywhere he’d been; north, south, east or west. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep and when he’d opened his eyes, here he was. With a groan of frustration, Luka tossed his sopping wet scarf over his shoulder and looked around. Not that it did any good as every single part of him was sopping wet. He wanted to get some clothes, get a towel, something but right now, what he wanted to do the most was get a lead on where he was.
As far as he was concerned, he was completely and utterly lost. He’d tried to ask the locals but all they did was give him a welcoming smile and send him on his way. This had never happened before. He’d seen all sorts of places, he’d been almost everywhere…
Everywhere but this place.
“Where the fuck am I?” he murmured, rubbing the back of his neck as he sat down on one of the benches.
Luka’s wanderings took him to the park. It seemed like an inviting enough place, somewhere he could sit down and think a while. That failing, he could always sit here and check the people out. There was something off about them. And there was that thing that was fluttering around him. Curious little bugger, small and purple and didn’t seem to want to go away.
It seemed like a good day despite the whole “winding up somewhere he had no idea of travelling to”. Better just enjoy it for now. He leaned back against the back of the bench and turned his gaze upward. See? This wasn’t so bad. It was a nice day and there was a lot of water up abo-
Wait a sec. WATER?
Oh no. Leaning WAY too far back now.
With a loud “Ow!”, the bench fell backward, sending Luka flipping over once and slamming into the tree behind him.
Hopefully, no one saw that.
