Personality:
Luke is generally very kind and sweet to other people, as he sees it as part of becoming a gentleman. From time to time, he has the tendency of being cheeky, especially towards a person he sees as rude. He usually speaks his mind freely, which sometimes gets him scolded by Layton. He also has a tendency of acting before thinking, especially if he‘s suspicious of someone, such as when he tried to attack Inspector Chelmey thinking that he was the evil Don Paolo in disguise. Despite his brashness, he always tries to help someone if they need it.
Luke idolizes Professor Layton, to the point that it was he who made himself Layton’s apprentice, not the Professor. He tries hard to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, sometimes even mimicking his actions (pointing like Layton does when Layton isn‘t around). Also, he takes his role as an apprentice very seriously, even becoming defensive if someone questions his apprenticeship. Luke tends to be very curious about the world around him. The boy is very inquisitive and is always asking questions. Much like his mentor, he also shares Layton’s love for puzzles, but not to the extreme that Layton does.
Like most kids his age, Luke tends to have an overactive imagination. He gets scared by things like ghosts and vampires, and depending on the environment he‘s in, he‘ll be more jumpy and easily startled. He’s also a little naïve, especially about adult matters. Unlike the Professor, he lets his emotions show more often. He’ll lose his temper or become easily shocked by something. Or if something angers him, he'll let it show, even calling someone out on their actions if he doesn't approve of them. Sometimes, he’ll even give in to certain child-like temptations, like jumping on cushions of trains.
He loves animals, and has the ability to communicate with them. If he sees an animal, he’ll usually stop whatever he’s doing to greet it. Whether or not the animal reacts kindly to him is a different matter, because sometimes the animal will lash out at him no matter how nice he is to it. Nonetheless, he’ll always try to reach out to an animal that needs help.
Since Unwound Future, Luke has matured a little. He's become more confidant, going as far as calling himself a "whiz" at puzzles. Not only that, but he's more outspoken and will jump in conversations more often. Luke also is more independent, trying to take charge of a situation rather than letting the Professor decide for him, and will even argue back with the Professor if he doesn't agree with something. But what's probably the most noticeable is that Luke is more blunt than he was before, even to the point where he comes off as downright rude and the Professor ends up having to scold him for it. But on a positive note, the boy has learned to become a little more bold and even braver then he was in previous games.
And then there's the previous game he came from: Mayfield.
Being exposed to Mayfield and his foster family, the town has turned him cynical of others and he's adopted some of his foster family's darker views on life (such as some of the emotional and sometimes physical abuse he's gone through, which he sees as somewhat normal). Also, he can sometimes clingy and needy to anyone who shows him parental affection, because Mayfield is a place where people you grow attached to can be taken away at any time. Although since he was canon updated to the third game during his stay at Mayfield, he argues back like a normal, bratty teenage boy. Still, he has that need for parental love and guidance which he seeks out by any means, even if those parental figures are violent or untrustworthy.
He's also somewhat desensitized to death and bloodshed, having seen his own foster family murder each other and the violence that's been caused by the town itself. Not to say that he isn't bothered by it, but it doesn't have the same impact as it would on most people. In fact, death according to his foster family was a means of fixing permanent or serious injuries in Mayfield. Because of this, he's more cautious about danger out of fear that he'll be "fixed" anytime he gets seriously injured. Seeing the people he cares about being brutally killed or hurt has instilled a desperate need for him to become stronger and protect those he's close to.

What kind of things will they be bringing with them? Just his clothes and messenger bag. And would he be able to bring the parrot from the third game too?
Abilities: Doesn’t really have any, other than he can talk to animals. He's also very good at solving puzzles.
Third Person Sample:
It was like waking up from a long nightmare. He could remember things - an American town forever trapped in the 1950s, his friends and people he thought of as family, the Professor, all the tricks the town would pull on them when they were least expecting it. But when he woke up…
This place certainly wasn’t Mayfield. In fact, as strange as it sounded it was almost as if he’d gone back in time. Was he still in Mayfield? Where was this? When was this?
Luke shakily rose to his feet, examining his surroundings closely. While keeping a clear mind in strange situations like these was important, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear and panic threatening to overwhelm him. As far as he knew, he was alone here.
“A-ah, hello? Is anyone there? Professor?”
He paused and waited for a reply, only to hear none. It’s too quiet here. As tempting as it was to stay right here, just in case someone he knew was looking for him, he wouldn’t figure out anything about what happened to him by just staying in this room. Scooping up his messenger bag off the floor, he headed towards the door. If this was another trick of Mayfield’s or if he was really kidnapped again, he definitely wasn’t going to stand around quietly and let whoever was in charge here get away with it.
First Person Sample:
[After some stumbling around and knocking over a few things, a new voice can be heard! The voice in question sounds like it belongs to a very nervous young boy.]
H-hello? Can anyone hear me on this thing? My name is Luke Triton, can anyone tell me where I am?
[Luke glances over the new communication device with some curiosity. It didn’t look anything like the phones he used in Mayfield. And was that miniature screen a telly? As much as he wanted to toy with it, there were more important matters to take care of first. Like finding out where he and his friends were.]
Has anyone heard of a place called Mayfield? Or a man named Professor Hershel Layton? He’s a tall man in a top hat, hard to miss him! If anyone finds the Professor, please tell him that his apprentice is looking for him!
[Luke goes to shut off the communication device, as he does he mutters to himself.]
Gosh, what on earth is this place?
