back on my bullshit
idk anything about this game but an art moot & i did an art trade i think 1-2 years ago(? i forgot lol 💀) and i still like how this turned out. hope identity v fans like this :3
so i finally wrote down everything I think of him!
disclaimer: everything stated here is not canon nor do i claim it to be. it's just my interpretation, so if you hate it or don't agree please just keep scrolling, thanks!
When Luca arrives to the manor he is in his late 20s / early 30s. He's also a Balkan (Serbian) man.
Timeline: He leaves his home around 17–18 years old, joins Alva's research around 19-20, the incident happens, after being postponed with his death sentence a lot, he spends several years in prison, then he's bailed by the Baron, then he spends some time in the outside world, trying to survive (all of this to make him desperate to join game) and then he gets his invitation.
Appearance + body: he's 5'8, has dark green eyes, coarse straight dark brown hair, sometimes put in a neat ponytail (on his good days) or messy almost loose one (on his bad days), and tan skin (idk how it's properly called in English). His hands are rough from working with electricity. His injured eye is bloodshot, the surrounding bruise never seems to heal. He can see with his injured eye, but it's pretty useless. His body is littered with scars, malunion fractures and lichtenberg figures. On his bad days he needs to use a wheelchair or not move at all, and sometimes even on his good days he has to use a cane alongside his leg braces. He suffers with tremor, hyperkinesia and sometimes migraines. Because of his time blindness and poor hygiene, he usually has stubble. He tries really hard to maintain his neat appearance, but it's usually too much for him. His voice is quiet and hoarse after the incident, his screams are silent, his vocal cords are damaged. He is underweight and quite malnourished because of his lack of awareness of his health, his life in and after prison etc. Also, he has issues with his digestive system due to extremely sudden shift from nobleman to prisoner lifestyle.
Episodes - there are times when his body "malfunction" do he gets amnesia again, pretty bad migraines and cannot control his body properly. It's hell for him.
Character: he's extremely academically smart. He's naturally intelligent, well-educated (not only in engineering, but generally in natural sciences), enjoys art and literature. He's trying to be energetic, optimistic and extraverted, but it's just a mask from his life as a nobleman. Without it, he's quiet, focused on his work (sometimes to the extreme), doesn't require any human company, most likely uninterested in any romantic/sexual relationships, closed off and prefers to keep personal stuff to himself. He likes to help other people, he's kind, yet he does not trust people easily after all that went through. He doesn't feel guilty about Alva's death. He does not consider himself in the wrong or even think it all happened because of him, he thinks he might be wrongfully accused, and even when he thinks he might really be guilty, he does not feel any repentance. He was right, he could never be wrong.
Some random hcs:
He's extremely proud and thinks of himself highly, although it doesn't help him with self-loathing. He's better than most in the manor, he thinks, but still worse than himself in the past. He idolizes his past self a lot. He has violent outburst when something does not go his way (only when it's about his research) or he's getting closer to one of his episodes. Deep down he knows, that his research is doomed, and he cannot invent a perpetual motion machine, but he still continues, because he is too proud to admit that he's wrong and was wrong all of this time.
He HATES his in-game name. He sees it as extremely disrespectful. Everyone outside matches call him "Inventor".
He keeps a journal about everyone's "betrayals" (even if it was the most miniscule situation possible) as he turned extremely vengeful after the accident and is afraid he'll forget everyone's "misdeeds" if he doesn't write them down.
When he just got stuck at the manor, he avoided everyone. Several months later he became more used to people and even more social.
He remembers even the smallest details about everyone in the manor, because of his documentation in journals.
After Frederick's arrival in the manor, Luca refuses to play piano for others, as he was too annoyed with attention Frederick got with his first "concert" for them.
Luca's plush rat (from Identity V x Sunshine City Prince Hotel collab) was bought by him to sooth his anxiety and nightmares post-prison. He did bring it to the manor with his other belongings. It doesn't have a name, because Luca feels that it would be pointless to name an inanimate object. Andrew gave her a name later - Sabine.
That's pretty much it! Thank you for reading my ramblings. Stay tuned for Andrew + Lucadrew!!!
Me when I play him fr
this is how i feel when i use this ping as puppeteer
How tall is Crowe (I'm drawing him rn now/with other characters and I can't remember how tall he is I haven't played the VN in a minute but I don't think it mentioned his height on there)
Here's an ID card that I shared last year with some info about him! Crowe is 177 cm/ 5'10 tall!
WHERE WINTER CROWS GO MENTIONED?!!?!?;?!?!?!? YIPEPPEYPIPYIEPPYIEP
White hair is gender-neutral. It represents me. ❤️
Imagine each new Matthias merch release Louis gets more and more uncanny

🎵 you’ve never had chocolate like this~
fan essence concept for Lucaluca heuheue
I just think it'd be fun if uh. Norton cannibalized out of necessity. And Orpheus cannibalized out of novelty.
I have thoughts and someone needed to see
WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
I saw that post and tought of Victor<3
put that thing back where it came from or so help me
i am not ready for whatever the fuck happens in the next lucid
i love this game <3
since klein can't feel physical pain (and is quite strong) it's funny to imagine him in various situations where he's saving darling from danger. imagine you're stuck in a fire. he casually just walks to you (through the fire), picks you up while his jacket is burning- but he's still all ^w^ he wouldn't realize he's burning only until it triggers an overheat LOL
NIKOLAIIII!!!!~~
heyy,,,, -lifts up my sunglasses-
this is not a request, more like a fun question: how do you think your favorite id5 character would rizz up reader 😎🎤?
also could i become the Brazil anon please 🇧🇷
oh god Brazil anon I actually have no clue
I feel like Alice is the type to be somewhat bold with her actions. She doesn’t make her feelings for you dead obvious, but it doesn’t take a detective to pick up on the obvious signals she throws your way.
Orpheus on the other hand is not as scared though (in my opinion). When he’s come to terms with who he likes there’s honestly no hiding it now. He’ll court you like the real gentleman he is trust trust
Patricia might take a little longer, and is slower when it comes to flirting with you. When she knows that she likes you, she’ll go for it and drops hints when necessary. But that wont’t happen for a while mainly because she’s been alone for so long that she’s forgotten what it feels like to not have to depend only on herself.
Ganji is similar to Patty in the way where he’s been starved of the feeling of comfort and love. It’ll take him some time to come around to his feelings and, once he does, Ganji will doubt that you even feel the same. He will be slow to court you, but will get there eventually.
okay so I may or may not have gone off on a whole other tangent and forgotten what the actually question is,,,,but that’s okay. Hope you enjoy Brazil Anon!!!
I want you to be by my side even if you are fake
