Story
The King of Fighters All Star
To be added soon...
Appearance
Luke has pale skin, blue eyes, blonde hair, and a muscular frame. His disproportionately large forearms are meant to emphasize his upper body strength and the potency of his punches in contrast to Jamie's kicks.
In all his adult character designs, Luke has black tattoo: an abstract V-shaped eagle design on his chest and back and outlines of stars on each shoulder. In Street Fighter 6, Luke’s forearms are now heavily scarred and no longer tattooed with stars as they were in his series debut as the final DLC character of Street Fighter V. His face is also now scarred with a prominent slash running across his right eye down to his left cheek. In an official blog post, the development team explains these conspicuous differences as part of the narrative, each change evidence of Luke’s maturation.
As a child, Luke wears a baggy, white short-sleeved raglan shirt with blue trim and the number 34 on the front, baggy khaki shorts, and sneakers. His hair is parted in the center with floppy bangs that frame either side of his face and peek out from a baseball cap worn backwards.
Personality
Luke greatly admires his father after he sacrificed his life evacuating civilians, prompting him to join the Special Forces to combat terrorism. However, after a friendly match with Guile, Luke remarks that serving did not grant him the satisfaction he desired, and with the Colonel's encouragement, decides to follow his own journey in competitive fighting.
Luke has an arrogant and youthful demeanor, backed by a strong will. Having quit the military to follow the path of mixed martial arts, Luke's desire to see the world and fight strong opponents has him not take matches too seriously, even making analogies to video games in his win quotes. Even so, he respects like-minded individuals such as Ryu, Ken, and Akira and still admires his military superior Guile.
In Street Fighter 6, Luke takes on a more serious and level-headed role, now an instructor at the Buckler Academy and described as a youthful take on the traditional master. Voice actor Aleks Le deliberately chose to lower his voice between the games, saying that Luke traveled the world between Street Fighter V and Street Fighter 6, being humbled after losing to various opponents and dedicating himself to practicing. Luke's quotes against most of the cast show this evolution as well, being more respectful to his opponents so long as they enjoy the fight as well, such as inviting Ed to play video games.
Fighting Style
Luke fights using a military-based MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), although his style specialized more boxing/kickboxing elements.
