practically-minded and stubborn-willed, luca’s cool and aloof exterior protects him from sharing any vulnerabilities with others. he is sociable and charming, thriving on the attention of suitors and competition alike. yet, at times, his laidback demeanor can easily translate into boredom, though the brunette has sees no qualms with his easygoing temperament. while luca is playful and talkative, he lacks interest in getting to know others that goes beyond winning over their affection. he is largely impersonal, keeping most if not all at a respectable distance at all times. luca compartmentalizes most of his emotions in this way, separating himself from then in a way that makes him come off as inconsiderate and brash. however, he tends to lean toward blunt honesty with his intentions, and thus he does not hold himself accountable for any hurt feelings or misunderstandings.
he is an avid believer in self-determinism, perhaps even to a damaging extent. luca sees himself as his loyalest ally, and he is not above dipping into the morally grey to achieve his ambitions. he is hard-working, with a clear vision of his future and skills. however, his recklessness and thirst for adventure often leads him to poorly planned decisions with hindering consequences. even during these moments of conflict, luca holds very little regret and grievances. it is nearly impossible to bring him to anger, as luca can rarely take anything seriously enough to be upset. however, once slighted, luca is the type to hold a grudge to his grave. he is ruthless and cruel to those he despises, stooping to incredibly low levels to bring them hardship.

history
rocio torres was barely seventeen when she met emmanuel valiente at one of the house parties he was promoting. she was spontaneous and impressionable, instantly magnetized by manny’s macho attitude and established career. being young and pretty and lost, rocio latched onto the opportunity she saw for power and approval. manny, on the other hand, was less interested in the dreams and aspirations of the young girl than what she could accomplish for him. he exploited rocio’s admiration for him, playing the part of the doting, spoiling suitor to appease her doubts about his loyalty.
manny was a businessman, and he was constantly traveling to maintain relations and form new contracts. yet, his work was mainly centralized in new york, and rocio was content to wait around for the older gentleman to return. less than a year later, luca was born to rocio, who had named her son after her faithless lover. her mother, infuriated by her eldest daughter’s hobbies and sinful behavior, kicked out the young mother and her son. for around two months, rocio was forced to stay at a woman’s shelter. when manny returned to new york, he had been flabbergasted to hear of the news about rocio from her younger sister. he tracked the young girl and their son down, allowing her to stay in a small apartment with his close friend and crewmate.
it was here that luca was raised, under the protection of his father’s authority. his father would make infrequent trips to the apartment, checking up on the status of his son, and leading rocio enough to stay attached. however, rocio’s faith grew strained from her lover’s distance, and eventually she began to seek comfort from other sources. isaac, the man who manny had trusted to protect rocio and luca, exploited rocio’s vulnerability to bring her toward him. the two shared a deeply passionate romance hidden from manny, and when luca was three years old, rocio became pregnant with her second child. however, the baby posed significant problems to their secrecy, considering it was obvious at first glance that the baby came from a separate father.
when manny learned of the birth of rocio’s second child, he wasn’t surprised by the affair between rocio and isaac. in fact, he left them to their own accord, eventually packing up and moving to spain reap the rewards of his hard work. while luca’s mother did not love isaac, he provided security and familiarity, and thus the two stayed together under the same roof to raise luca and his three younger siblings. being a young mother ill-suited for the real world, rocio had trouble finding work, and thus stayed at home to watch over the children while isaac provided for their dysfunctional family. rocio was an emotional spirit who loved who children very dearly, though she did not possess the practical means to take care of them very well.
at the age of nine, rocio died unexpectedly, leaving luca and his siblings under the care of isaac, his half-siblings’ father. isaac was significantly more troubled than rocio, too busy to watch over the kids, thus leaving luca to take on the position of caretaker. he was a cruel man, unfit to be a father but insistent on receiving absolute respect. after a few months had passed, luca snapped at isaac regarding the health of his siblings, all whom didn’t have reliable access to food. when isaac’s subsequent outrage was enough to put luca in the hospital, eva, rocio’s younger sister, brought the authorities into the picture. she was worried for her deceased sister’s children, yet she had no means of providing for them herself. instead, eva reached out to manny, pleading with the man her sister had fallen in love with.
unbeknownst to rocio and her family, manny had married a spanish woman, and had moved on to form a household of his own. however, he claims to luca he cherished and loved rocio, citing his affection for luca’s mother as his reasoning for taking in all of her children. luca was uprooted from his life in new york and thrown in the midst of strangers in a foreign country. fortunately, his half-brothers were eccentric and homely, inviting luca into their crowds and incorporating him into their way of life. in this sense, luca was distracted from the grief of losing his mother, as he had another family greeting him with open arms. he grew incredibly close to his brothers, along with a good amount of the other neighborhood kids, including a scrawny, nerdy looking kid. @marcelloderosa
despite being well-off, manny was an irresponsible and reckless fellow, often wasting money on his failed ventures and schemes. he was often away on business, leaving luca and his siblings to the unmonitored abuse of his stepmother. often times, manny would fail to pay for the electricity and water, and while jimena, luca’s stepmother, was an excellent cook, she often held meals over the kids’ heads for punishment. three rooms were split between the nine siblings, the kids piling up on queen mattresses and bunk beds.
when luca graduated high school, he applied for a scholarship at nyu and returned home to began attending college. he reunited with his tia eva, the sole living relative on his mother’s side. he attended nyu for two years before applying to luxor, using his life’s savings for the school’s tuition cost at a chance of improving his resume.
