OOC INFORMATION ALIAS: Ankari JOURNAL: [Bad username: ”fonfabre”] CONTACT: MSN| radiant.howl[at]hotmail[dot]com AIM| a lukefag CHARACTERS: N/A, first character IC INFORMATION NAME: Luke fon Fabre SERIES: Tales of the Abyss HISTORY: (I'm really sorry for the length, I couldn't find a way to chop it down.) For as long as Luke could remember (which is only seven years), he had been held inside the manor his family owned, not being allowed to go outside the walls. He was told that when he was ten years old, he had been kidnapped by the enemy country, Malkuth, and lost his memories at that time. Because his father was the Duke of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, Luke was raised by his best friend and servant, Guy Cecil, and his master who he gave complete devotion, Van Grants. During sword practice one day, a young woman barged in, aiming to kill Van. Luke got in the way, and a reaction called a 'hyperresonance' shot them half across the world, to a place called 'Tataroo Valley'. It was there that Luke participated in his first real-life fights, against monsters instead of training dummies. When Luke and Tear made their way out of the valley and found a coach, it was then that they learned that they were in Malkuth. The two made their way to a farming town called Engave, where the overly sheltered Luke learned that you need to pay for goods you want from a store, unlike going to the kitchen and taking food that you want. He did this at the wrong time, however, as Engave had been experiencing food loss from what they thought were food thiefs, and Luke was promptly arrested. When he was dragged to the mayors house, he tried to appeal, saying that he didn't steal their food, but the mayor was too busy talking to a visitor, Colonel Jade Curtiss. It was then that Fon Master Ion, the highest ranked member in the order of Lorelei, came to the house and presented fur of a small animal called a cheagle that he found in the food storage building, showing that the cheagles had been stealing their food. The next day, Luke stormed off to the forest that the cheagles lived in to 'teach them a lesson', but ended up having to fight a giant monster, who had it's land burnt by a cheagle named 'Meiu', and moved into the forest instead. When things were looking bleak against it, Jade showed up once again and saved the day by killing it. The cheagles were grateful, and made Meiu Luke's servant for a year. As they were leaving the forest, Luke and Tear were captured by a few Malkuth soldiers under Jade's command, for illegally crossing the border. Luke and Tear were taken to a large land ship called 'The Tartarus', and was questioned by Jade and one of Ion's guardians named Anise about how they managed to travel to Tataroo Valley via Hyperresonance. Luke, having no idea, was let off easy, but by the way that he didn't know much and only had seven years worth of memory piqued Jade's curiosity. When Luke and Tear were allowed to explore the landship, it was attacked by a group of people called The six god-generals. There was a brief fight between Jade and Largo the Black Lion, but it ended with Largo getting stabbed by Jade, and Anise running off with Ion to take him to safety. Once they got outside, Jade and Tear left Luke alone as they were going to go try to regain control of the Tartarus. Foolishly, Luke hovered over one of the soldiers Tear put to sleep using a fonic hymn, he triggered Meiu's fire-breathing power and awoke him, leaving Luke no choice but to fight alone, and kill the solider. Luke, never have killing someone before, went into a small state of shock. The noise alerted Jade and Tear, and they came back to see what had happened. It was then that the three were attacked by two more of the God Generals, Legretta the Quick and Asch the Bloody. Asch attacked them with a spell and aimed to kill them, but Legretta had them locked in a holding cell instead. They broke out, only to encounter more troubles outside when another of the God Generals, Arietta the Wild, showed up. Just when things were looking bad, Guy showed up out of nowhere and evidentially saved the day. The Tartarus and it's crew was too damaged to move, so the team set off on foot to the Fubras river, and then the border, the Kaitzur Checkpoint; however, when they got to the Checkpoint they encountered Van, who blocked an attack from Asch as he showed up to try and end Luke's life once again. They spoke briefly, were given passports, and headed off to the port. When they got to the port, though, Arietta stopped them as she destroyed the boat and took the only person who could fix it hostage. She demanded that Luke and Ion both come to a place called Choral Castle. When they got there, Luke got kidnapped as well. He was taken to a strange machine, and all that he heard was that his 'synchronized fon slots' were opened, before the group came and rescued him. They briefly fought Arietta on the roof, and reunited with Van. The group took a ship to Baticul, the town Luke lived in, afterwards. While they were on the ship, Luke activated a hyperessonance on his own, but Van came and calmed him down before any major damage could happen. When they returned to Baticul, news came from Luke's cousin-and-fiancee, Natalia, that Van had been arrested, for they thought that he was the one who caused Luke's disappearance. Luke went to the cell Van was being held in at once, and had a talk with his teacher, that when Luke was to go to the dying city of Akzeriuth as an ambassador, he would follow Van's plan and become a hero. When the group was about to leave, they found note that the God Generals were blocking the exit to the city, and that Ion had been kidnapped. They went through the abandoned factory underneath Baticul to escape without being noticed, picking up Natalia on the way. As soon as they exited, Luke saw Asch's face for the first time, and noticed that it was exactly the same as his. Without time to spare, they followed the landship tracks to the desert, where they found Ion in the Zao ruins, being forced to open a strange door by Asch, Largo, and another God General named Synch the Tempest. There was a breif fight, and immediately after is where I am taking Luke from in the story. PERSONALITY: To put it as blunt as possible, in this point of his life, Luke is nothing short of an 'asshole'. Having grown up without being able to leave his home, Luke was always pampered, and got what he want when he wanted and how he wanted it. He doesn't seem to care about much other than himself, and his teacher, Van. Because he was always treated like the Prince he practically was, being in line to the thrown due to his engagement to the Princess, whenever Luke is presented with a situation that he doesn't find appealing, he rudely whines and complains, but is never given his way once his 'journey' begins. At first, he hated having to walk everywhere, getting his expensive clothes dirty and his shoes wet, but that was one of the few things he eventually learned to shut up about, unlike complaining when something didn't go his way. SAMPLE Link to an old entry as him another (I've changed icons since then, so I'm sorry for the repeating default. Also, I'm aware that neither of the samples are threads that are very long, so if you want me to write a 3rd person sample as well I'd be more than happy to.)
