....But, anybody ever notice how similar these two are?

If Locke were a human being, as he so desperately wants to be, that's pretty much what he'd look like.

This was just kind of a bit of a test for me to figure out how exactly Locke works. Since he doesn't have many facial features, or even make that many expressions, he's a little hard for me to pin down. None the less, I thought I'd make an attempt.

This actually still feels almost too emotive for him. Most of the time, I don't think he even really has that "mouth" going on. When he speaks, its just kind of a disembodied voice that comes from his direction. He has a poor understanding of how humans work, but has realized in studying them how important their expressions are in communication, and will, sometimes, mimic things such as "mouth" movements in order to try and communicate better what it is he means. However, it's not a completely organic reaction. He doesn't smile because he's happy, he smiles because he knows thats what humans do when they are happy.

Similarly, he doesn't need to breathe, but will mimic the inhalation and exhalation of breath because its a pattern that humans follow in order to be alive. He doesn't need to sleep, and indeed, kind of can't, but he does lie down sometimes, and simply meditate for long periods of time in a mimicry of sleep.

If none of this makes a lick of sense, please bear with me. Locke is really fun, but also a challenging character to create and work with since he's somewhat limited. (That is in many ways, appealing though.)

Also...I think Luca looks like he came out of an episode of Dr. Who in the 70's...

As always, this wierdo belongs to me. I've not quite got him pegged down yet, but his development belongs to me as well. As does the rest of "Scrivener and Shifte".
