Locke Rinannis

NAME: Locke Rinannis NICKNAMES: Lickers (Xivrez'to), Gearhead/Gears (Miir) AGE: 26 NAMEDAY: 9th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon RACE: Hyur, Midlander BIRTHPLACE: Oakbarrow, The Black Shroud CURRENT RESIDENCE: The Goblet, Ul'dah OCCUPATION: Mechanic & Engineer MARITAL STATUS: Eternally Bonded to Lili Rinannis BLOOD RELATIVES:     • Graeme & Lillian Rinannis (Parents)     • Auric Rinannis (Brother)     • Elonwea Rinannis (Daughter) (See Relationships for full list of family) GUARDIAN: Azeyma, the Warden ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good, Lawful Tendency ENGINEERING With humble beginnings as a mammet mechanic for Ul'dah's coliseum, Locke eventually struck out on his own to run a personal repair business in the Goblet. Adept in clockwork mechanics, the engineer has dug deep into matters of machinistry and airships. Only recently, he has pursued research in magitek and Allagan technology, tinkering with salvaged pieces and building his own designs. Although he had an apprenticeship in the Goldsmithing Guild for a time, he struggles with delicate jewelry. He does seem to have an eye for the aesthetics, at least. MARKSMANSHIP Armed with a trusty rifle, Locke's aim is sure. He works hard to guarantee that each piece is working properly, and he has made modifications to give him an unexpected edge over his opponents. With his converter at his side, he can charge bullets with various elemental effects, the most common being electricity. Before wielding his first gun, Locke would (and still does) carry a pair of daggers at his waist. Nimble and dexterous, he is well-versed with using his environment and blades for close-quarters combat, should one manage to avoid his shots. SCOUTING Most specifically in the Black Shroud, Locke has quite a bit of experience trekking through forests and plains. With a watchful eye and careful step, he can traverse most terrain unheard and unseen. Being an engineer, Locke has developed several tools to assist with these ventures, becoming a bit of a pathfinder or treasure hunter if needed. He has a keen eye for landmarks and subtle changes in scenery, and his calm disposition begets a calm approach in tense situations. With practical experience and quick reflexes, he makes for an excellent lookout or guide. VOIDSENT HUNTING This is a skill that Locke will often openly speak about, having put that part of his life behind him in pursuit of family and his future. But, should one manage to take a peek into his stashed-away possessions, one may find various artifacts and weapons designed for tracking, trapping, or even banishment of such creatures. Locke himself seems to have expansive knowledge on the subject, though he is more proficient in merely dispatching the monsters than learning about them. His magitek bit companion, Olli, seems to be linked to his hunting abilities, though it is unclear how. COMMON (Easily discovered.) ● "Locke Rinannis... He runs that little repair shop in the Goblet, right? I hear he's made some wonderful things! But I am curious how he keeps his business going in Ul'dah among all these cutthroat merchants." - Inquisitive Woman, Sapphire Avenue (Ul'dah) ● "Used to see him running around Ul'dah, but I think he's from the Shroud? Eh, somewhere over there. Now he spends a lot of time in the Mist I think, works for a salvaging group on the side. Guess he's been all over!" - Well-informed Man, Hawker's Round (Limsa Lominsa) ● "Oh, Locke! Friendly fellow, always willing to lend a helping hand. He and his wife adopted a couple children, good for them! A big, happy family is rare these days!" - Jovial Flames Recruit, Emerald Avenue (Ul'dah) UNCOMMON (Takes specific digging and is harder to discover.) ● "I heard there was a break-in at his place—not once, but twice! Hahah! You'd think a mechanic named 'Locke' would have better, well, locks!" - Snarky Merchant, Brimming Heart (Ul'dah) ● "Him? Well, once time, I nearly tripped down the stairs and dropped my tray o' mugs, and boom! There he was, right beside me, keepin' me up! But he weren't there a moment ago, I swear it. Don't know where he came from!" - Bewildered Barwench, Carline Canopy (Gridania) ● "Knew 'im 'fore he started his own business. 'Fore he got married, too! He's a lot happier now. Used to be alone all the time, kept quiet 'n to himself. Sometimes acted a little funny. Tired-like, you know? He's got a good heart though, knew he'd find 'is way." - Optimistic Errandboy, Coliseum (Ul'dah) RARE (Nearly unheard, requires OOC permission to use.) ● "Heard he's friends with Garleans, and that's all I wish to know of him! Tch! No wonder he's all about that magitek, he's probably a spy!" - Suspicious Woman, Gold Court (Ul'dah) ● "His past reeks of the Void. I don't know what happened to him, but there's something...off. If you want my advice, I will speak plain: stay away from him." - Cautious Thaumaturge, Arrzaneth Ossuary (Ul'dah) ● "Asked 'im if 'e 'ad siblin's. Said 'e 'ad a brother, and 'e got this dark, dang'rous look in 'is eye. Was weird 'n sudden. 'E tried to 'ide it, but I ain't daft. Somethin' bad 'appened. Somethin' 'e don't wanna talk 'bout..." - Shady Informant, Drowning Wench (Limsa Lominsa) PC RUMORS (Information from various player characters.) ● "Lickers Knickers? I like him! He's very kind, and very helpful when it comes to machines. I think he, like seemingly a lot of people, underestimates themselves. Plus is wife Silly is really cute! He's helped me out so much lately, I want to repay him but he says I already paid him." - Xivrez'to Ithaka ● "Add your own here!" - Name 💑 Significant Other    🏠 Family    ♫ Trusted     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing (Names are alphabetical according to color.) 💑● Lilithium Rinannis (Wife) 🏠● Adokenai Rinannis (Adopted Son) 🏠● Deisara Silverlark (Stepdaughter, deceased) 🏠● Elonwea Rinannis (Daughter) 🏠● Mikh'a Rinannis (Adopted Son) 🏠● Olzeng, 'Olli' (Honorary) 🏠● Romimo Romi (Guardian) 🏠● Sarameda Silverlark (Stepdaughter) 🏠● Auric Rinannis (Brother) ♫● Aeron Volkova ♫● Cassandra Lachance ♫● Cyrus Chambers ● Bert Brewforge ● Ellemeare Sargonnai ● Fejika Menajika ● Isaak Wulfhart ● J'inarah Marad ● J'kilid Tia ● Kanto Jahari ● Kheja'a Akhabila ● Ludivine Goultard ● Odette Saoirse ● Platinum Mountain ● Xivrez'to Ithaka ● Z'thara Dhen ● Istellia Montagne ● Jino'ya Traore ● Cait Syrike ● Miir Raj'ar ● Q'nahli Rhanya ● Thya Kahzuun ● Zelenha Kiel ● Avesy Etz ● Kale Aideron ● Kohi Shiransu ● Lu ● Miata Luna ● Vahl'sae Bajihri ● V'lanya Mei (Deceased) ● Coraliza Velia ● Ennara Calian ● Ghislan Nightwing ● Iona Itaralyrwyn ● Kal Numara ● Katiti Kati ● 'Ox' (Deceased) ● Toff Vaughnn ● Yuki Kurenai ● Zaiaku Kurai
