Locke

Locke

A young elven ranger, priest, and sorcerer, Locke has a deep connection with nature, allowing him to commune with his surroundings to learn about them and potentially communicate with them. One of his signature options in combat is to summon a wall of wood to control the battlefield.
In peaceful times, Locke enjoys studying and cataloguing interesting plants and fungi.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Special abilities

As an emissary of The Silence, Locke can enter a state similar to its creatures; his flesh becomes like stone, highly resistant to damage, and his eyes seal over, replacing normal sight with blindsight.

Apparel & Accessories

Locke wears woodsman's gear under a heavy wooly winter coat. He bears a holy symbol of Fenmarel Mestarine.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

On September 19th of 23 ARL, Locke communed with the Caverns of Silence in the Meridan Underdark near Darkhome. He discovered that they were a sapient (if very alien) collective of consciousnesses, rather than being some innately hostile trap or monster. In exchange for their aid against the yellow formians that were invading the area, he agreed to become an emissary, linked to The Silence and allowing them to see, learn, and understand through him. He would help them "expand their awareness", and he would gain power in turn.

Taboos

Locke utterly abhors the undead. He is all but required to destroy any he encounters (and may actually be required to do so, only being able to avoid doing so immediately by putting it off for a more opportune time). Anyone who treats with the undead for any reason is all but dead to him.
Locke is not particularly vocal about these feelings. He doesn't bother giving warnings or arguing with allies who might go against this taboo. If they choose to interact with undead in any way but violently, that's on them, and is enough for him to break contact.

History

Locke and Knight first met when Locke and several others were teleported into a dungeon Knight and some friends were investigating north of New Hallownest. They partied up, and Locke joined the subsequent mission to clear and claim the mithril mining zone southeast of Darkhome. Locke also cheerfully aided in agriculture development in Darkhome and provided a few plant golems for defense of the farms.
The friendly feelings between the two were ruined about a month later when both attended a meeting between Underdark faction leaders. The factions were looking to work together to face the threat of invading dire corbies, and one of the attendees was an archlich. Locke stayed quiet and was able to hold himself back from immediately attacking the undead, but after the other faction leaders, including Knight, agreed to work with each other and the archlich to deal with the threat, Locke considered every one of them dead to him and cut off all positive contact.
