Character Name: Luke fon Fabre Canon: Tales of the Abyss Canon Point: right after he and Asch neutralize the miasma in the Tower of Rem. Background/History:wikia.
Personality: Luke was a very selfish, conceited brat.
Though I really wouldn't go off and say that he was completely at fault for that? For you see he was kidnapped when he was younger. They were able to find him eventually, but when they did, he couldn't remember anything. In fact he didn't even know how to walk, write, read, or talk. Heck he couldn't even put names to his parents faces. He was basically a blank slate. Everything he had to relearn was left to the various maids and servants in the Fabre household. Of course they were under the influence that he would eventually get better as time went on, but.... he didn't. And because of that, he now lacks a basic understanding on simple things that one would consider to be common knowledge. For example he lacks an understanding in geography, politics, history and language.
He was also forbidden by his uncle (the King of Kimlasca) to leave the manor he lived in. He couldn't even step out into the kingdom and roam around Baticul (which is where he lives). This was to ensure that another kidnapping could never happen. However, because of this he became extremely sheltered. He lacked real life experience. Tie that in with not knowing how the real world worked and basically having everything handed to you, you can see how this kind of lifestyle would go to someone's head. He's so used to being handed things left and right that when he gets to Engave for the first time he takes an apple and doesn't pay for it. When the vendor asks for the money he basically waves him off and tells him that the castle will take care of it.
Luke was also extremely arrogant. He's the son of the duke of Kimlasca. What more was there to say? A good thing about his confidence (for now at least) was that he had very little self-doubt. He could do no wrong, or at least that's what he thought. And when something did happen, he'll find a way to pin the blame on to someone else. He was very prideful too. When he realized that he made a mistake or said something hurtful his pride stopped him from trying to apologize or fix whatever he did. Of course he was generally sorry about it (especially if he hurt someone's feelings), but he wouldn't ever vocalize it.
He's not used to interacting with other people excluding his family's servants and maids. But they can't really call him out on his spoiled behavior, unless they want to lose their job. So when he acted like this around the others he always wondered why they would react so negatively to his spoiled behavior. He's not really used to criticism either. He was also terribly lazy and wouldn't do anything unless it struck his interest or benefited him in one way or the other. He constantly skipped his tutoring lessons, but whenever Van (his swordsmaster) was in town he was always eager for a new lesson. In fact, all he ever really cared about during his little excavation with Tear and the others was how badly he wanted to go home. Even if he knew how boring it can get being stuck in the manor all day with nothing to do.
All of this changes at the fall of Akzeriuth. And oh, did I forget to mention that Luke's a clone? 'cause he is. The real reason why Luke was kidnapped was so Van could overthrow the score (which is something that basically predicts your future) by sacrificing a replica of Luke. The original Luke (who now goes by Asch the Bloody) was supposed to die at Akzeriuth. Of course the cloned Luke was never told of this. So when he found out that he wasn't the real Luke his confidence was knocked down by a couple of pegs. And by a couple I mean a lot. Digressing, Luke was tricked into thinking that if he got rid of the poisonous gas that was harming Akzeriuth he would be considered a hero. He's very gullible when it comes to people he trusts. If Master Van says it'll be okay then it should be okay! He won't question it, even if it sounds a little risky. Master Van knows what he's doing after all. He's wise and is someone Luke idolizes. He looks up to Master Van. And even through all of his treachery Luke still views the man as his master. Sure it takes a while for Luke to realize that his plan to create a world full of replicas is bad, but that still doesn't stop him from wanting acknowledgment on his growth.
After recovering from killing thousands of innocent lives, Luke resolves to change his selfish ways. He realizes that he will never make up for what he's done and that no matter how many times he apologizes it will never bring back the people of Akzeriuth. He knows that he's going to have to work super hard to regain everyone's trust, but he's willing and committed to be put to the test. He asks Tear, who was the only one who had stayed in Yulia City, to watch him change. He also immediately takes Guy's advice and chooses to focus on helping people out instead of wallowing about in despair. This in turn might cause him to be a little overeager at times, oftentimes taking things a little too seriously and rushing out to an area he hardly knows how to get to. He's extremely determined to right his wrongs and he won't back down from it either.
He's still a little curious about everything but he can't really help that. At least he's more accepting of someone's answers than he was before. He also owns up to the fact that he's at fault for what he's done. And, more importantly he gives apologies when do. Pride be damned. He's still unfortunately easy to fluster and rile up though.
He's also very considerate for his team-- no, his friends. Hell he even goes through great lengths to not tell his mother about the maid who foolishly threw out Van's old arte books because he doesn't want to see her to lose her job. He constantly worries over the miasma (the poisonous gas mentioned above that was in Akzeriuth) that's inside Tear's body and will always ask her if she's alright about fighting her brother, Van. He cares deeply for Natalia despite how annoying she might be (or might have been). He was the one who said that it'd be better to tell her who her birth father was instead of keeping her in the dark like everyone else suggested. He also realizes the importance of breaks when Ion is near collapse. He even does his best to cheer Anise up after Ion dies.
Going back to the clone issue, Luke's kind of developed a inferiority complex. He's very self-conscious now and all the cockiness and arrogance he had before have practically diminished. He constantly puts himself down a lot too. He feels extremely bad for taking someone else's life. He wasn't even supposed to be born and here he is living someone else's life. From the canon point he's taken from he hasn't quite yet grasped the concept that he and Asch are two separate and different people. He gets angry at Asch when the other wants to throw away his life when he's the one who shouldn't be here. He'd rather die if it meant that Asch could live. Or... so he thought anyway. When he was sacrificing himself to neutralize the miasma all he could think about was how he wanted to live. He didn't want to die yet.
Abilities/Powers: Luke is one of two people that can cause a hyperresonance all on his own. A hyperresonance happens when two seventh fonists use their abilities to tear apart and then reconstruct the fonons in an object. Normally it takes two seventh fonists to cause a single hyperresonance. It is also a rather dangerous ability as it normally cannot be controlled. I don't really see Luke using this power much at all in haven since there aren't any fonons for him to use except for the ones he has in his body. Of course it also takes a lot of energy out of the user and Luke isn't really in the position to lose said energy. From the canon point he's taken from, he'll disappear if he uses another hyperresonance.
Aside from this, Luke is also a swordsman in training studying the Albert-style. He was undergoing lessons with Master Van before the game started. As he traveled with the others he learned various different fighting techniques called artes. He's the kind of fighter that chooses to focus on more damaging techniques than to emphasize on combos.
Items/Weapons:Nebilim (the catalyst sword), the Jewel of Lorelei, and a couple of lemon and pineapple gels? (lemon gels heals a moderate amount of HP and pineapple gels heals a moderate amount of TP, which is the stuff that allows Luke to cast artes.)
I'm a-okay with making the gels candies if you don't want them to have their healing components.
Sample Entry: Okay there's no way this-- wherever I am is apart of Auldrant. It's too.... different? No... Empty? [he shakes his head. finding a word to describe this place isn't as important as getting out of here is.] I can't even contact Asch either. [not... that he really knew how to get in touch with his original in the first place. since the god-general usually got in touch with him, but that's beside the point-] Well whatever this place is, it's definitely not home. Mohs is going to pay if he's the one who's behind this.
[Luke looks down at the device curiously as he pokes the different buttons.]
What is this thing anyway? Some kind of fontech? [he snickers a little to himself as he lowers the phone.] I wonder where Guy is. I bet he'd get a kick out of.... whatever this thing is-- and... Hey, wait why is it blinking?
[upon further inspection he realizes that there's a small blinking light on the corner side of the phone. from his experience blinking things aren't generally a good thing, are they? he frantically looks around in hopes that he'd be able to flag at least one person down to help explain what this thing was and why it was blinking at him. unfortunately, luck was not on his side. so he does the first thing that comes to his mind. he tosses the blinking device to the side and accidentally into the well next to him.
oops.
so, okay. he totally didn't mean to do that.]
Wait no I didn't mean to do that--
Sample Entry Two: Luke sighed as he slowly, but carefully, pulled the heavy bucket full of delicious looking water up with the rope that was attached to the well. Well, it's not like he could actually see that the water was delicious looking since it was quite a ways down from where he stood. But, he could only assume that it was delicious looking. After all it looked quite delectable when his roommates came back from their different trips with buckets full of fresh water. Though, if there was one thing he was sure of, was the fact that this water was definitely better than any of the sludge he tromped through back home. And, he didn't have to pay any gald to drink out of it either!! Although he... didn't really have any gald on him so it's... not like that that's a good point to bring up here of all places.
Bucket finally in sight and eyes gleaming with delight he heaved it over and sat it on the ground. Not really in the mood to wait he cupped his hand and dipped it into the cold water. After that he brought his hand to his mouth and drank happily from i--
PTCHEW.
As soon as the "liquid" hit the back of his throat he instantly spat it out. That-- what? What the heck was going on here? Why did the water taste like mud and sludge and-- oh no. Eyebrows furrowed, Luke looked to and fro the bucket and the well. Something must have happened over the span of the day for the well to have muddy sludge back-river funk water. Maybe it was some kind of prank? Grimacing at the thought, Luke couldn't help but give the little trickster(s) some props. It took talent to make the well that dirty.
