CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Luke fon Fabre
Age: 18
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Canon Point: Just prior to his conversation with Tear and Important Haircut
Character Information: Luke’s Aselia wiki entry and the general Tales of the Abyss section of the wiki.
Personality: ‘Obnoxious brat’ is probably the best way to describe Luke, in a few words. He’s spoiled, whiny, and generally annoying to be around. Also a member of nobility, which gives him the sense that he’s more important than most anyone he interacts with outside of his family, up to and including other members of nobility.
Much of his spoiled nature results from his upbringing. Luke’s life has been a fairly easy one, where he hasn‘t had to worry about whether he had food or money, and has servants to tend to him. Combine this with what is essentially 7 years of house arrest with no one but his family and servants to interact with, you get a guy with a skewed sense of importance and the impression that he can do what he wants. Also terrible social skills. He’s learned that this isn’t the case outside of his home, but it hasn’t really stopped him from reacting badly when things don’t go his way. If allowed to, he’s likely to yell at whatever is bothering him, or if he’s particularly angry, he’ll throw or kick things. He’s also likely to react this way if he or thinks he’s being ignored or doesn’t understand something.
Which is actually a lot, as Luke is ignorant of many things most people his age consider common knowledge and doesn’t seem to have much of a drive to learn those things. In fact, his view of the world is much like a child’s--after being kept isolated at home for 7 years, everything is new and needs to be examined, questioned, or both.
Boredom comes easily to Luke, as does impatience, and if something fails to hold his interest for more than a few minutes at a time, he’s very likely to stop caring about it. Or at least deem it stupid or a waste of time and then begrudgingly attempt to give a damn. On the other hand, if he does express interest in something, he’ll stubbornly focus on just that thing and try to ignore anything (and anyone) else. This is part of the reason for his ignorance--if a task is too hard or tedious, he’s far less likely to do it than simpler or more rewarding tasks, so there’s a lot of things he hasn’t learned simply because he hasn’t taken the time or effort to try to learn them.
Relatedly, Luke also enjoys being the center of attention. As mentioned up above, he has a skewed sense of importance, and is often not afraid to let everyone else know. He wants to be right, to be noticed, to be looked up to, and he needs these things to be affirmed frequently. He dislikes the people who scold or belittle him, though he’s also not too fond of those who aren’t sincere in their praise.
At least when he notices they aren’t being sincere. Luke is not the greatest at reading people to begin with, and when coupled with his desire to be important, he has the tendency to vastly misjudge what people around him actually think and feel about him. If someone looks and sounds sincere enough, he’s very likely to trust them, and if they don’t, he’s immediately suspicious. This makes him somewhat easy to manipulate.
Luke is extremely averse to killing and bloodshed, especially when people are involved. He’s not a pacificist by any definition; he’s trained to wield a sword and is a decent fighter, but balks at the idea of killing human beings and even non-humans in some cases, especially if they’re not hostile. He has a minor breakdown after killing a person in self-defense and prior to that, feels sick after destroying the eggs in a monster’s nest. As of his canon point, he’s just realized that he’s indirectly responsible for the deaths of several thousand people and is more than slightly freaked out about it. Luke also seems not to mind helping out people who seem to need it, though in most of these cases, he'll help but either complain the whole time or otherwise find some way to act like he really doesn't want to do it.
5-10 Key Character Traits: Naive, stubborn, rude, childlike, self-centered, whiny, easily manipulated, reactive, curious, quick learner
Would you prefer a monster that FITS your character’s personality, CONFLICTS with it, or EITHER? Fits!
Opt-Outs:
Nymph
Minotaur
Troll
Goblin
Wendigo
Roleplay Sample:
“What is going on with this place?”
Luke wasn’t normally the calmest person--far from it, really--but at that moment, he was extra annoyed. He’d woken up in a strange hospital covered in injuries he didn’t remember getting, and was told he’d been dragged from the water like that. He couldn’t recall doing anything that would have him end up in the water...he’d been indoors last he checked!
As soon as he was admitted out of the hospital, he went about questioning the townspeople. It was the only thing he could think of to do, just figure out where he was, and then...something.
Except that wasn’t working out too well.
“Wh-what do you mean you haven’t heard of those places? Those are major countries! Kimlasca, Malkuth, Daa--seriously, you’ve never heard of any of those? Geez, and I’m supposed to be the one who doesn’t know anything.”
The woman he was attempting to interrogate simply shrugged and turned, excusing herself to finish her errands.
“Fine, whatever. I’ll ask someone else. There’s gotta be someone around here who can tell me what’s going on around here.”
