» About: In many ways, Alton is a reflection of his environment. He's an aimless young man with buckets of talent and yet little to no skill. Owing to a world that had expected nothing of him, his ambition is nearly nonexistent, though he always seems to find a way to get by. 

 

Hailing from a family whose very name had become nearly synonymous with poverty, his life began the day he set off from home. Armed with a few packs of cigarettes he'd swiped from his uncle's stash, he'd pawned off a few loose rolls to an addict in exchange for an old and beaten up bicycle. After working through the night to get it back in working condition, Alton simply packed up and left the next morning before even the roosters had woken. 

 

Years later, Alton had long solidified his self-image as a wandering free spirit, though others were more likely to classify him as a petty thief and a vagrant. Though outwardly a collected and put together individual, years of traumatic experiences on the streets had wreaked havoc upon the youth's mentality, leaving him with a subtly fragile psyche.

 

Having failed to amount to anything more than those that came before him, Locke had instead become the embodiment of generations worth of failures. He'd become a slave to his vices, but like many others, continued to believe in his own control. 

 

After yet another successful con job involving a man and his nerve gear, Locke had been fully prepared to pawn off both the pilfered equipment and the accompanying game, only to give into the temptation of taking it out for a spin beforehand.

 

 

 

» Virtues:

Empathetic. Most would describe this trait as sympathetic, due to the notion that emotions can only truly be understood by those who've gone through familiar experiences. In spite of this, Locke possesses an ability to pick up on the sentiments of others to and uncanny degree, as if he were experiencing their emotions for himself. He's a self described empath.

 

Charismatic. Though lacking in the prestige and wealth normally associated with charismatic individuals, Locke nevertheless never fails to pile on the charm when the situation arises. A natural born con artist, his natural reads on others allows him to get a sense of how to bend others to his will. A skill that won him the respect of many during his time on the streets.

 

Open-minded. Locke tends to act and behave as one might expect from someone who believes themselves to be enlightened. As a result, he keeps his eyes and mind open to the possibilities, and feels obligated to hear out the world view of others while sharing his own. "Nothing is impossible, but some things are improbable," is a quote with which he would agree.

 

 

» Flaws:

Impulsive. Despite arguably being a factor behind his excellence in managing situations short-term, Locke's impulsiveness has a tendency to muck things up in ways that he fails to account for. Although patient in some ways, once Locke has an idea in mind, he tends to simply begin acting on it and improvising it to completion. 

 

Weak resolved. Locke is fatalistic, though he conflictingly also believes in his own capacity to change many of the negative aspects in his life. Despite these beliefs and half-hearted attempts, Locke continues to be an active victim of the many vices he engages in, though he rationalizes them to fit into his framework of things. 

 

Dissociated. As a result of a combination of factors, Locke's innate personality often gives way in favor of those belonging to individuals he's met and interacted with. Although he seems to be vaguely aware of the phenomena, the extent to which he controls it is questionable. 

 

Amoral. Although not a psychopath by any stretch, Locke's experiences have colored him a similar shade to that of a sociopath. A product of the hard lessons he's learned at the hands of a seemingly uncaring world, Locke is never above using questionable means in order to achieve his own goals. This trait is never obvious at first, and is instead hidden behind his more charming qualities.
