Luka Kalani
Luka Kalani is all wiry muscle and quiet contradictions—part Hawaiian, part mystery, all instinct. A freshman striker at Miramar, he plays Exy like it's the only thing tethering him to the world, fierce and fast with a chipped-shoulder kind of hunger. He's quick on the field, sharp with his footwork, but off it? He's soft-spoken, careful, and harder to read than he looks. Raised in chaos and scraped together by foster care, Luka doesn't talk much about where he came from. Trauma carved gaps in his memory from ages 12 to 17. Years he survived, not lived. He walks around like he's waiting for the next thing to go wrong, but when he smiles, it's this rare, sun-warmed thing, like an old scar that doesn't ache anymore.
