Character Information

Name: Luke Triton
Age: 13
Fandom: Professor Layton
Appearance: Luke is very small for his age, giving off the appearance of being younger then he actually is. He's got brown, messy hair and rosy cheeks, and tends to wear all blue.
History:
Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Canon Point: The end of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
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.

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.

Since Unwound Future, Luke has matured a little. He's become more confidant, going as far as calling himself a "whiz" at puzzles. Not only that, but he's more outspoken and will jump in conversations more often. Luke also is more independent, trying to take charge of a situation rather than letting the Professor decide for him, and will even argue back with the Professor if he doesn't agree with something. But what's probably the most noticeable is that Luke is more blunt than he was before, even to the point where he comes off as downright rude and the Professor ends up having to scold him for it. But on a positive note, the boy has learned to become a little more bold and even braver then he was in previous games.

Game Specific

Suitability: Despite his young age, Luke is a very intellegent young man with a knack for problem-solving. He's also very agile and pretty darn durable for a little kid, having been able to scale a giant, moving robot without being thrown off or injured.
Weapon: A slingshot with bombs as the ammo. The slingshot itself is a pretty typical and fairly innocent weapon for a boy of Luke's age. The bombs on the other hand would make his weapon a little more dangerous then just an average toy.

Samples

Log/Third Person Sample:

Kidnapping.

Luke really should have guessed it was kidnapping the moment he woke up. His first big clue being that he was no longer on a boat to America with his family. He read the note although it didn't explain what this "sport" he was selected for was about or why he'd been kidnapped in order to participate. The weapon laying on the bed didn't do much to help ease his mind either.

Like any good puzzle-solving apprentice, his first goal should be to find out where he is and gather clues. If his kidnappers were here, he hadn't seen them yet thankfully. At the same time, he was terrified. Not only because he was in a strange, new place but because he would be solving this mystery alone. No Professor around to help him this time. But that meant he really had to think this through and work extra hard, to prove that all those years with the Professor had paid off. After all, he couldn't call himself an apprentice if he couldn't solve the first mystery he's been handed!

Once he gets his knees to stop trembling, he briefly looks around, finding very little clues located in his hotel room to help him out - not even a single hint coin! Looks like the letter and weapon are the only things that are going to be useful to him here, as much as he didn't want to use them. He gathers them up before stepping out of his room and checking for any suspicious people.

And wow it looked like there was a lot of suspicious people around! He guesses that made sense, seeing how shady this place looked. The perfect place for people to be up to no good.

"Mum...? Dad?" Luke swallows, realizing that they very well could've been kidnapped too. He's not sure how the kidnappers got them all off a boat, but that's just one of the many puzzles surrounding this place. Using his height to his advantage, he'll start sneaking around the hotel - slipping around corners and trying to stealthily make his way out of the hotel. He doesn't realize the strange looks he's getting, after all they were the suspicious ones here, not him.
