Character Name: Locke Cole
Canon: Final Fantasy VI
Canon Background: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Locke_ColeAU Background: Much the same as his canon background, in Dagaria he is aligned with the Nameless States and opposes the Principality of Zeon, counting himself a member of the Returners.
Personality: Locke, outwardly, is confident and quite competent. A self-proclaimed “treasure hunter,” he is quite fond of adventuring and finding new and exciting things and/or liberating them from an undeserving owner. He is quite sensitive about his occupation, calling Locke a thief is grounds for physical violence.
Locke has a good sense of humor and a penchant for banter, usually at Edgar’s expense. In addition, he is eager to protect and while he might have some… unsavory hobbies, he is always willing to step up and help someone, especially young, supposedly defenseless women. This may outwardly appear to be something of the mark of a womanizer, but that’s Edgar’s thing. Locke carries the deep guilt of having lost his girlfriend, Rachel. She became amnesiac after protecting him from a bridge collapse and, with influence from her family who did not approve of Locke and blamed him, drove him away. He later returned to find out she had died in an Imperial attack, having regained her memories just before her death and uttering his name.
The attack is what caused Locke to turn against the Empire and join the Returners. In addition, he commissioned an herbalist to preserve Rachel’s body. Locke is absolutely driven to find a way to return her soul to her body and bring her back. This guilt causes him to want to protect others from the same circumstances and his treasure hunting, which was before a way of life, is now a driving goal in his life.
Deep down, Locke carries a lot of guilt with him. While it isn't readily apparent, Locke has a lot of triggers that will cause an immediate and very predictable response. When it comes to the Empire? Anger and opposition. Someone who needs protection? Immediate assistance. While he appears open, Locke's heart is closed. His world stopped when Rachel died, and the only thing he has is his vendetta against the Empire and his quest for some power that can bring Rachel back to him.
Combat Style: Locke is a quick, agile fighter, usually favoring knives and boomerangs but also, surprisingly, skilled with heavy blades. He tends to use a blade in either hand and is skilled at picking pockets in the heat of battle or even disarming and lifting a blade from an enemy.
