Timezone: Central
Current Characters in Route: n/a
Character
Name: Luke Triton
Series: Professor Layton
Timeline: After the events in the second game.
Canon Resource Links:
Professor Layton and the Curious Village Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
Affiliation: Trainer
Personality:
Luke is generally very kind and sweet to other people, as he sees it as part of becoming a gentleman. From time to time, he has the tendency of being cheeky, especially towards a person he sees as rude. He usually speaks his mind freely, which sometimes gets him scolded by Layton. He also has a tendency of acting before thinking, especially if he‘s suspicious of someone, such as when he tried to attack Inspector Chelmey thinking that he was the evil Don Paolo in disguise. Despite his brashness, he always tries to help someone if they need it, and he
Luke idolizes Professor Layton, to the point that it was he who made himself Layton’s apprentice, not the Professor. He tries hard to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, sometimes even mimicking his actions (pointing like Layton does when Layton isn‘t around). Also, he takes his role as an apprentice very seriously, even becoming defensive if someone questions his apprenticeship. Luke tends to be very curious about the world around him. The boy is very inquisitive and is always asking questions. Much like his mentor, he also shares Layton’s love for puzzles, but not to the extreme that Layton does.
Like most kids his age, Luke tends to have an overactive imagination. He gets scared by things like ghosts and vampires, and depending on the environment he‘s in, he‘ll be more jumpy and easily startled. He’s also a little naïve, especially about adult matters. Unlike the Professor, he lets his emotions show more often. He’ll lose his temper or become easily shocked by something. Or if something angers him, he'll let it show, even calling someone out on their actions if he doesn't approve of them. Sometimes, he’ll even give in to certain child-like temptations, like jumping on cushions of trains.
He loves animals, and has the ability to communicate with them. If he sees an animal, he’ll usually stop whatever he’s doing to greet it. Whether or not the animal reacts kindly to him is a different matter, because sometimes the animal will lash out at him no matter how nice he is to it. Nonetheless, he’ll always try to reach out to an animal that needs help.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths: As a future gentleman-in-training, Luke's a very kind boy with a strong desire to help others. He's very bright, perceptive, curious, and eager to learn something new.
Weaknesses: Luke has a tendency to act without thinking, sometimes running into situations head-first without thinking about the consequences. And if he's afraid of something, sometimes he'll let that fear get the better of him, making it difficult to complete a task without help. Also, his own childish nature sometimes gets the better of him as well. Such as being brutually honest, making fun of someone, or just getting into mischief that could get him in trouble.
Pokemon
Starter: Going with the running gag in the Professor Layton series, a female Teddiursa named Mr. Bear?
Samples
First Person Sample:
Who on earth is that, Mr. Bear? You don't suppose she followed us in here, do you?
[Luke crouched down next to his Teddiursa partner, observing the Jynx that seemed to be dancing a few feet away from them. Of course, to Luke it looked like some insane woman who happened to be in the same cave as Luke and his pokemon. The Jynx swayed its hips back and forth to some unknown rhythm, causing the boy to look away from her in embarrassment and whisper into the bear pokemon's ear.]
Whatever she's doing, I don't gentleman like us should be watching. It isn't very appropriate.
[And with that, Luke stood up to quietly make his exit, hoping the woman wouldn't notice them leaving. He failed to notice Mr. Bear sighing in aggravation, having lost out on yet another battle.]
Third Person Sample:
Luke groaned as the sound of ringing in his ears woke him from sleep. Irritability, the boy tried rolling over and pulling a pillow over his head in a pitiful attempt to block out the offending noise.
"Oi, Professor, whatever puzzle you're working on, could you please keep it dow-" Luke immediately shut up as soon as he realized three things.
One, the Professor was no where in sight.
Two, he was no longer on the Molentary Express.
Three, the dreadful ringing from that strange clock still hadn't stopped.
Luke pushed away the blankets, trying to observe what was going on here. It looked like a child's room, all right, but it still didn't change the fact that it wasn't his room. Did he fall asleep on the train and the Professor carried him to a hotel room or something? Surely he couldn't be that far away.
...Right?
"Professor...? Professor! If this is some kind of joke, it isn't funny at all, you know!"
When he didn't receive an answer, Luke became even more worried. The Professor and Flora wouldn't just leave him in some place he wasn't familiar with, they couldn't have-
Oh no. Did that mean someone kidnapped him?! But there didn't seem to be anything stopping him from escaping. Alright Luke, just calm down, after all the Professor always said that one must keep a calm mind in situations like thes-
"Where did the Molentary Express go?!"
Well, so much for staying calm. The young boy was now moving around the room, examining anything he could get his hands on for clues. The fact that the room seemed specifically designed for a young boy creeped him out big time. Well, his kidnappers were going to be disappointed if they expected him to stay.
If he really did somehow get kidnapped, although how someone managed to kidnap him off a train was beyond him, but it could mean that the Professor and Flora were missing too. Maybe Don Paolo was up to his old tricks again! That was all the more reason to find them, fast! And-it was getting difficult to think with that strange music playing, where was it coming from?
Not thinking much of it, Luke made a dash for the door, accidentally knocking a strange red and white ball off the dresser. The flash of light that came next caused the boy to come to a sudden halt in the doorway, as the light began to form a shape.
After a few seconds, the light faded and a small teddy bear-looking creature with a crescent-moon mark on its forehead looked up at him. Luke could only stare back in confusion and shock.
"...Mr. Bear?"
"Ursa?"
