Lu Garigami-character intro.

Lu leads a fairly simple life. He lives in the 121-F Jupiter apartment complex in a rather seedy part of town. He owns a car mechanic shop aptly titled, "Lu's." Lu, born in China in 1963, moved to America in 1976 and has since called it his one and only home. He's more American than the average native born person, constantly quoting such icons as The Fonz and James Dean. The staples of Lu's wardrobe include a faded Mickey Mouse t-shirt and a battered New York Yankees baseball cap. His love of baseball is fitting, seeing that his name curiously resembles Lou Gehrig. Despite Lu's zest for the American dream, some of his mannerisms are less appealing. Lu has a temper, and he is prone to go off on his customers at the car shop. Lu is unmarried and has no children. 

As Lu was walking in the orange morning, he suddenly felt quite uplifted. He had no idea why he was feeling so cheery, but whatever it was, he wasn't entirely comfortable with it. Lu approached the lock to the car garage with his giant wad of metal keys, out of which a plain silver key barely protruded. Lu prepared himself for the process of "jimmying" the lock by cracking his neck and fingers. He slid the key into place and gave it a hearty jerk, which, to his surprise, opened the lock seamlessly. Lu walked uneasily inside his shop. He flicked the switch, which incandescently illuminated the dull green walls. The shop looked more like a prison than a garage, and Lu enjoyed playing warden.
