Luca bin Alshams
Luca bin Alshams
Born in Rodos but raised in Beruit by his Aravi mother Reem. He hasn't completed the Hyperion Rite (a ritual where the descendants of Hyperion create a light bow or "Hyperion bow") and it is a source of insecurity for him. Until he does he cannot claim the title of Hyperion (Luca Hyberion bin Alshams). Hyperion will financially support him through University but no further.
He is patient and watchful as his were his forefathers the gods of light and vision. He can create light and can see in the full spectrum of light. He is described as always having a "glow about him" even if it's not always literal. The better his mood the brighter he becomes. He is considered to be light-hearted and he is perceptive of other's emotions as well as their physical features. Though he will often use his insight to help others, he also can use it to take others down (seemingly from the inside).

Gods and Heroes notes 1
March 3020
The day before spring break: Most kids have bounced but a few unlucky souls have tests.
I am studying for my Exam in Unorthodox Combative Environments (UE Combats).
MWF---
9am: World Divinic Hx
11am: Special Weaponry Indp. Study
2pm: UE Combats
TR---
10:30am: Poly Science
After breakfast at about 8:40am I found a letter to me slipped into my backpack. I read it and became confused.
********I need your help. I've seen your skills in your heroism classes, and I know that you are the only one that I can trust for this mission of upmost importance. Please come and meet me tonight 9pm in the library room 025 for further details. --S.T.O.R.M.**********
I went to the library to check out the room. Its a classroom and no one reserved the room.
I got a B on my UE Combats Exam.(+1 Notice for session)
Ya got a letter from the same group! Someone dropped it for her to pick up?
We meet up at the library in room 024 and stake out the room across the hall. We confirm that we got the letters from the same person(s). I have my X-ray vision on to watch for various on goings but all I see so far is the Janitor and he doesn't seem suspect.
Another girl shows up, she got a letter as well. She was told it is a Mediterranean Clean up action Group? Soon after 2 other Jamokes come in saying that we got their letters.
The note says
Darin and Murrell, Ya doesn't trust them and they insist that Ya should be here if we know her. She is listening in on my phone from the other room. They tell the girl (Amita) that they had to mislead us to get us down there. They are with STORM. A covert operation founded back in the day after The Pantheic War. An attempt to reunite the pantheon. Poseidon and Zeus are the founders.
I am excited at the chance of becoming a hero! Quests!
They want to recover the sword of Damocles from a thief-- it's a super doom weapon.
Luca takes a Non Disclosure and signs it. Ya comes in after listening in on the convo. She asks more questions about our safety and provisions.
Once done I follow Ya outside and she pulls me into a shadowy corner. She wants to watch the 2 jamokes.
I scan the 2 of them Xray (3) and heat (1) I see that Murriell has throwing stars and knives hidden around her body, she is warmer than a normal person and much warmer than Darin and has a hot patch in her center. Darin had a sword hilt and a phaser gun on him.
QRZTF(17?) Licence plate # as they left.
