Powers	Telekinetic Suite - Luke is very obviously a strongly powered telekinetic type, though his aptitude is 'close is best'. There is more to it than just lifting or sticking things to himself, obviously, since he seems capable of forcing air through things, making tiny electrical connections, so it's a matter of scale and practice. It is entirely likely that he will be able to use this power to produce sound waves, thunder and pressure changes, but that's if he gets bored with his current gigs... Animation - Luke can cause things that aren't alive to move and talk with firm concentration that can be 'trained' over time to be easier; his skill largely involves instruments and things that make noise, have a speaker or can beep, such as a door bell or knocker, he's had hilarious results with 'that high hat cymbal set' talking to the string bass, and unlike many bands he can absolutely hold his own on stage not merely with drums but with an entire one man band - his drum solos are anything but drums and nothing like a solo! This power works up to 20 meters in a sphere with him at the center, so a reasonable amount of stage space, an entire group of trick or treaters, a mosh pit circle... Velcro(tm) - able to pick up and stick small items to themselves, as long as they can reach it they can stick it and somehow carry it all (removal might be tricky); speaking of a one-man band, those guys who carry specially created harnesses and stuff for all those drums and horns and whatnot? Yeah they got nothing on him. While the instruments still may need a wind source he's got that too, looking like a frog inflating his chest, trumpets singing and flutes tooting, but also kazoos by the dozen, xylophone bars in pieces and chunks... the power can be used at up to 1 full meter away from himself, so he does get a little... hazy, when he's got so many pieces. But as long as he can see, he can carry pretty much any amount of weight, it doesn't seem to bother him at all to have 300 pounds worth of crap stuck to him. *Note he can also use this focused on a non-him point nearby with a freebie +2 cluster HYPE! - can whip their friends, gang, students, and even staff into an absolute frenzy; but be careful it doesn't end up a dangerous mob (all related ^team based cluster +3 for duration). He shows up first, handing out fliers from his backpack (and 'handing' is a misnomer since he's literally flinging them into the air with his powers...) (and yes he cleans up what's left shush!) and getting interest started, going on until said cleanup needs to also be done? Don't leave your gum there, let's get all this beach trash into the bins and bags, come on come ON! YEAH!
Clusters 15	^Group Event Handling +5 (3) Even if Ruby is the band's leader, everyone knows you can't get anywhere without the right beat. Given his innate ability above, when scheduling is needed, or gathering up and getting focused, any organization skill overall is his department. What happens with individual people among that assembly is up to others, but he will definitely be the one to 'drag everyone in on this'. He also has a very good grasp of how many people per location should be right, even if those people are Kin Mice on up to Kaiju *Fridge and Suitcase Tetris +3 (2) Even if he is Velcro he can definitely use telekinetic power at enough of a distance to sweep a room or closet, instantly folding up chairs or fitted sheets, packing things perfectly into a suitcase here, a dresser drawer there. Some mages have wondered if this is a spell, because they've waved a wand for those things to happen - but nope, it's just his own expectations working perfectly Literal Group Handling +2 Luke can pick up and carry things... including people. He did once do a ride-along with one of the local superhero teams, and rescued an entire kindergarten class from a sink-hole, so if pressed he is definitely able to untap his full potential. He does know that his eventual 'day job' will probably include heroism and saving the day, but for the time being he's leaving this more to others with that as their primary focus
Skills 18	Musical Decoding and Notation +4 Whether he's on drums or a marimba or tubular bells, he knows his stuff on those printed bars. He likes investigating different forms of musical scales and notes, though not going so far as to invent his own, he feels there's plenty of them already! But if they need to quickly transcribe a tune from their garage into a set of sheet music in the orchestra pit, he's the one who does the work. His skill is not merely relegated to drum-like or percussion, it's all kinds including piano and even pipe organ, winds and brass and whatever else. That one-man-band thing? yeah he's got sheet music for his favorite bits... Heroic Effort +3 There have been times when 'heroics' mean 'holding his own on stage because someone in the audience just passed out in the front row and the others are rushing to their aid', but equally he will always - always - step in if he sees injustice or crime going on. He's also studying just enough local law to understand when it's best to step away and leave the heroics to the licensed folks, but at times it's tough. One thing he will never shy away from is getting people away from a bad situation on the street or in a club. Falling debris? Sudden angry nutbag? Yeah no, pal, you're not going to have a target-rich environment in moments Sweep Up To The Beat +2 If there is work to be done, he's going to be bopping to some kind of beat, usually only found in his head, but what this mainly means as a skill is that he can detect patterns of all kinds anywhere: footsteps on a dirt path, frequency of the word 'um' in someone's speech, if it has anything to add up and use a ratio or pattern he's able to discern it. This gives him an edge for coding and music alike, and he doesn't stop there. He can solve puzzles if he knows 'which company's die pattern' they use, blindfolded and often without even using his hands
Knacks 5	Attractive To Everyone Equally +3 Sure he's the whitest human white boy to ever have humaned a whiteness, but he's definitely an all-inclusive friend and lover. There's something about his charm, dimples, the smell of his drumming-for-an-hour sweat? He is above and beyond any other feature, genuinely a good person, and everyone seems to understand that Aim Weird Stuff +2 Luke has telekinesis. He is a drummer. From darts to frizbees and slices of cheese or basketball... If he needs to hit something specific it gets hit. Likely due to his tk stabilizing flight paths, his ability with trajectories or math or... just whatever, that cat guy in the corner talkin nonsense about Primus is gonna get a flap of munster on his muzzle

Parents?	Mother works for the local Superheroic Licensing Department and is a retired hero (air-based powers) Father is still active in the Heroic community generally doing 'transitions from your prison stay into a functional society', helping those people he's put behind bars get a good grip on their real skills, and helping them get jobs that won't judge them
Siblings?	Two younger sisters (age 13 in summer), and no they're not clones nor twins why do people keep saying that? (because they are one of those things, it's... just that one of them showed up several months after the first? looking exactly like the first, and no one batted an eye? including the folks??)

Other Info	Luke rounds out the group in every way possible. He's a den-mother personality but one which has had several Red Bulls (the drink. not... not the... >_> ) and is very, very happy to be here to help. That said he is still not a Nut in personality, he has his shit together and he's not afraid to help!
