A dear coral eyed<ref name="E1 01-05">[[Main Story 01-05]]</ref> childhood friend. Though it has been so long, they are finally reunited. During the eight years he was away from [[Stellis City]], our [[Main Character|Main Character (MC)]] doesn't know what he's been up to, but he's learnt many skills including: tracking, sniping, fighting, tactical driving, and wilderness survival skills... skills useful for a private investigator. No matter the job, he will complete it cleanly and excellently under the eyes of the law. In the past, MC had thought he would be a scientist. With his intelligence, it would not be a problem to go in this direction... But, maybe something unknown occurred that altered the career shift<ref name ="人物档案-夏彦"/>.

An outgoing private investigator who brings light and hope to everyone around him. He's able to complete all kinds of jobs without breaking a sweat. There's almost nothing he's not good at... except for expressing his love for the girl he grew up with... and cooking!

==Background==
'''A professional private investigator who's always a step behind when it comes to love.'''
Luke is described as an exceptionally bright, talented youth and childhood friend of the [[Main Character]] (MC). His parents, [[Rena]] and [[Percival Freeman]], died when he was young and as such, he barely remembers them<ref>[[Luke "Among the Great Blue"]]</ref>. His mother was best friends with the MC's mother, so after his parents' death, he was taken in and essentially raised by the MC's parents.<ref name="luke0104">[[Luke's Story 01-04]]</ref> He went to school with the MC all the way from kindergarten to age 16.<ref name="luke0103">[[Luke's Story 01-03]]</ref> Luke was a top student at school, attending national and international competitions such as the International Biology Olympiad in Prague,<ref name="luke202">[[Luke's Story 02-02]]</ref> and he was granted early acceptance into the prestigious [[National Central University]]. He was promptly recruited into a closed confidential national project, but the experiment disallowed any outside communication and he lost contact with the MC. He returned immediately after the project ended, but he did not contact the MC due to being busy with his work.


After graduating with a Master's in Bioengineering, Luke decided to pursue his dream of becoming a detective and opened [[Pearce Private Investigations]]. He also is the owner of [[Time's Antiquities]], an antique store that serves as a front to his PI business.
An outgoing private investigator who brings light and hope to everyone around him.


He currently lives in a three-story house his parents left him, where the first story is Time's Antiquities, the second floor is his private investigation business, and the third floor is his residence. Luke also has a pet myna bird named Peanut, who is professionally trained and is highly intelligent.<ref>[[Main Story 05-29]]</ref>
He's able to complete all kinds of jobs without breaking a sweat.


==Personality and Interests==
Tracking, sniping, combat, tactical driving, and wilderness survival... There's almost nothing he's not good at... all except for expressing his love for the girl he grew up with...
When he was a child, Luke dreamed of becoming a hero, making a charming appearance in times of need and beating all the bad guys. As he grew up, though, he realized heroes aren't always charming and glamorous and are often a mess instead. However, he still holds true to the heroic ideal of protecting those who need protecting<ref>[[Luke's Story 03-11]]</ref> and tries to keep his focus on what good he can add to the world rather than be paralyzed by his inability to keep up with criminals who always seem a step ahead.<ref>[[Luke's Story 04-06]]</ref>


Luke notes that his most treasured possession is a limited edition Sherlock Holmes box, in which he stores treasured possessions such as competition gold medals and models, which the MC's parents bought for him when he was five years old. He still calls the MC his "Watson" as a callback to their detective games while growing up.<ref name="luke0103" /> Luke has been noted by the MC to have a habit of sitting on dirty floors<ref name="main509" /> and has always kept his personal space an organized mess he calls "The Luke Storage Method" despite his ability to keep an acceptable appearance in public.<ref>[[Luke's Story 03-12]]</ref> He has a high level of admiration for journalists who, like investigators, live for the truth and put their lives on the line to learn and expose it.<ref>[[Main Story 05-11]]</ref> Luke is a diligent note-taker, and his habit of including his own remarks and complaints on the right side of the pages persists from his days as a student into adulthood,<ref>[[Luke's Story 01-13]]</ref> as does his habit of idly scribbling in margins.<ref name="lukecardIH">[[Luke "Iridescent Heartbeat"]]</ref>
After reunited after many years of separation, deep down, Luke is still the same old cheery but shy boy.<ref>https://tot.mihoyo.com/en-us/character</ref><ref>https://tot.mihoyo.com/en-us/information/all/detail/100124</ref>


Luke's personality in work-related matters is very different from that of his personal life; as an instructor, he's especially stern and cold, willing to frustrate his charges with unfair situations until they speak up and learn not to tolerate such treatment.<ref>[[Main Story 09-04]]</ref>
==Background==
Luke is described as an exceptionally bright, talented youth and childhood friend of the [[Main Character]] (MC). He took the top spot at his high school, and when he was 16, he was accepted early into the prestigious [[National Central University]].


Luke's hobbies, interests, and skills include:
He was promptly recruited into a closed confidential national project, but the experiment disallowed any outside communication and he lost contact with the MC. He returned immediately after the project ended, but did not contact the MC due to being busy with his work. Later, it is revealed that he actually joined the National Security Bureau as a Financial and Technology Crime investigator, and there was no secret project. {{Spoiler|text=It has been revealed in his personal route that due to an unknown disease, Luke only has 3 years and 2 months left to live.}}


* '''First Aid''': Using a home first aid kit that has small surgical tools in addition to the usual supplies, Luke is able to clean, stitch, and dress many of his own wounds at home, without anesthetic, rather than explain his NSB-related activities to a hospital.<ref>[[Luke's Story 04-09]]</ref> Luke claims to have high pain tolerance.<ref>[[Luke "Dark Swirl"]]</ref>
After graduating with a Master's in Bioengineering, Luke decides to pursue his dream of becoming a detective and opens [[Pearce Private Investigations]]. He also is the owner of [[Time's Antiquities]], an antique store that serves as a front to his PI business.  
* '''Food and Drink''': Luke is an unskilled chef, and his tastes tend toward "low-brow" items like street food, burgers, and chili fries. However, in the course of his work, he has become a skilled bartender<ref name="lukecardASitP">[[Luke "A Star in the Palm"]]</ref> and a certified barista<ref>[[Snowy_Sweetness: Prologue]]</ref>. Luke is said to have low alcohol tolerance; in some special NSB missions, he has to drink a pill to prevent him from being drunk.<ref>[[Luke "Dark Swirl"]]</ref>
* '''Language''': In addition to his native language, Luke has been shown to understand German.<ref>[[Xmas Partyland Event]]</ref>
* '''Martial Arts''': Luke has been in martial arts training since he was a child. As an adult, he is familiar with many kinds of firearms, as well as Krav Maga.<ref name="lukecardTR">[[Luke "Timely Rescue"]]</ref>
* '''Repair and invention''': Luke is highly skilled with inventions, handicrafts, and other fine detail work. He's able to quickly repair a variety of items and create delicate physical crafts; one item he's especially proud of is an engagement ring with a heart-shaped ruby and ring of melee diamonds.<ref name="luke214">[[Luke's Story 02-14]]</ref>
* '''Sports''': Luke was skilled enough at soccer as a child that other children's parents sometimes threatened their children by saying Luke wouldn't teach them soccer anymore. He never joined the soccer team, believing if he joined one, other team coaches, such as those for volleyball or basketball, would also pursue him. Despite this, he's maintained his skills into adulthood.<ref>[[Luke "Peaceful Place"]]</ref><!--in-game description uses "soccer" so we will stick to their choice of dialect--> He's also fond of skateboarding, having wanted to learn since middle school, but he was forbidden from it for safety reasons at the time. He since learned from one of his instructors at the NSB and is skilled enough in the sport to compete against professionals.<ref>[[Luke "Through the Heavens"]]</ref>
* '''Tactics''': Whether on the battlefield or in more personal situations such as stalking and coercing information from a target, Luke has a variety of tactics at his disposal to go unnoticed (such as quick changes<ref>[[Luke's Story 03-10]]</ref>) or cause precise pain (such as knowledge of anatomy and joint limits<ref>[[Lost Gold Luke Investigation 03-01]]</ref>) intended to get what he needs without more damage than needed. Additionally, he has become adept in several skills to suit various social situations, such as darts and billiards, claiming to be undefeated for years in each.<ref name="lukecardASitP" />
* '''Technology''': From bugs and surveillance<ref>[[Luke's Story 03-07]]</ref> to programming and hacking<ref>[[Main Story 05-13]]</ref> to restoration of computer hardware such as cameras and USB drives, Luke has mastered many types of technology. Some of his creations include technological applications such as a highly accurate OCR application,<ref name="main509">[[Main Story 05-09]]</ref> an earring with functional GPS and microphone,<ref>[[Luke "Alluring Gaze"]]</ref> or a chibi keychain that functions as an alarm with increased volume and durability.<ref>[[Luke's Story 04-02]]</ref>


==Story==
He currently lives in a three-story house his parents left him, where the first story is Time's Antiquities, the second floor is his private investigation business, and the third floor is his residence. Luke also has a pet myna bird named Peanut, who is professionally trained and is highly intelligent.<ref>[[Main Story 05-29]]</ref>
{{Spoiler|text=<nowiki/>
Very shortly after entering university, Luke accidentally got involved with a transnational case, which caught the attention of the [[National Security Bureau]]; he was recruited and spent most of the following eight years earning his degree from NSB instructors rather than attending university. The "secret project" discussed above was merely a cover story for his entry into the NSB.<ref name="main503">[[Main Story 05-03]]</ref> Luke has never failed a mission during his time with the NSB.<ref name="LGL0205">[[Lost Gold Luke Investigation 02-05]]</ref>
 
During a mission with the NSB, Luke was gravely injured by a toxic gas attack;<ref name="luke214" /> while his life was saved, he received medicine contaminated with an unidentified and harmful component during treatment. With what freedom the NSB grants him, Luke pursues the medicine's origin, which has led him back to Stellis on the trail of NXX.<ref name="main503" /> As a result of his exposure to this contaminant, Luke is suffering from a degenerative condition affecting his nervous system, organs, and mental state; his physician estimates he has 3 years and 2 months left to live.<ref>[[Luke's Story 02-01]]</ref> It's for this reason Luke tried to avoid reconnecting with the MC on his return to Stellis.
 
As of [[Episode 9: Grey Frontier]], Luke's illness has progressed to intermittent loss of control in his right arm, bouts of coughing and severe pain, and episodes of paranoia.<ref>[[Main Story 09-12]]</ref>}}
 
==Day Schedule==

''"It's not that I don't want to sleep more, it's just that..."''
 
Aside from detective work, sometimes interesting commissions are received. Luke's week days are very regular. Everyday, he does morning run, evening run, and it looks like he wakes up very early... It is unknown how many secrets he has hidden in his diary.<ref name="夏彦工作日行程">夏彦工作日行程 https://www.taptap.com/topic/10458399</ref>

==Relationships==
===Main Character (MC)===
Luke is the childhood friend of the MC. Luke would hang out at the MC's house when they were younger. He would often drag the MC around causing trouble, and the two would get scolded by her parents. When the MC was angry at Luke, he would extend his hands forward, as if wanting to hold her hands as a sign of asking for forgiveness.


==Trivia==
They also went to the same high school together and competed for the school's top spot until Luke was accepted early into [[National Central University]]. The two lost contact with each other after Luke's recruitment into a confidential national project during his studies. Even after the project's completion, Luke's work prevented him from contacting the MC.

==Translation Notes==
*In Chinese, Luke's name is 夏彦 (Xià Yàn)
**Surname 夏 means Summer and is the same character used to write "Sherlock" (夏洛克 - Xià Luòkè)
**First name 彦 can mean accomplished or elegant
*In Chinese, Peanut's name is 花生 (Huāshēng)
**This is a pun on the typical writing of "Watson" which is 华生 (Huáshēng).
**While English (Peanut) and Korean (땅콩아) translate the name literally, Japanese opts to localize the pun by calling the bird "Mr. Jon" (Mr.ジョン) for John Watson.


They coincidentally meet again in the events of [[Episode 1: The Hand That Feeds]], where they investigated a case together.
