A man by the name of Luke Sachell is of the age 27, living life in his apartment while his parents are away, always busy with work. He has orange hair, almost interpreted as a lion's mane, standing out quite well. He has green framed glasses and has a simplistic cocky personality, the common flirt and as well as quite the rich-man. He is also considering to be part of a group, a gang per say, consistant of other unique characters. He is at times accompanied by these characters; while he has friends of his own around his home town. He has constantly been nicknamed "Elfonse" because of his long, pointy elf-like ears. But what many do not know is his backstory, a time where he was once getting calls every single day by an anonymous stranger. The caller was clearly suspicious, as he called on time, every 24 hours at 9 AM. One day, Luke's brother, Leo, was abducted on September 5th of 2012, and no law office could solve the crime to this day (5 years later). Luke has yet to find Leo, but he is rumored to still be alive. Truth be told, on the same day, September 5th, of 2017, he was called by the same anonymous caller, confirming that he is still alive, but in this caller's possession.
"All these years.." Luke whispers to himself in discomfort, "..he's still alive... My brother..." However, he never received and information about the kidnapper, as he never specified anything of their identity. Though...
"There is one request I must ask.. and if you do not devote yourself to me, do not expect your brother to be alive the moment you find him."
