Verdure Jean-Locke

"You know, common sense isn't so common in a time like this."

Voltaire Jean-Locke is an Original Character in Foolishly Capricious's fanfiction, Unlikely Heroes . Both 96thlegend and Foolishly Capricious are the same people. He is the leader of his upcoming team and a son to an aristocratic family in Atlas. He's loosely based on French philosopher, Voltaire, and English philosopher, John Locke.

Appearance
Voltaire is of average height, standing at 5'6". His hair is black and is mostly aligned in spikes pointing forward. His eyes are brown and usually give off an aura of one with major nihilism.

He has a rather regal aesthetic. He wears a black dress shirt with green frills as well as a white cravat on his neck. He also wears a pair of white pants with brown boots.

When he's prepped for combat, he wears a white cape with a green interior that covers mostly his left bicep and a large spaulder on his left shoulder. His cape also houses his emblem: A cross with a circle in the middle and lightning bolts spread out to form a crucifix. He also wears a pair of green gauntlets with brown fingerless gloves and a pair of greaves over his brown boots. Underneath his cape, he has a green and white breastplate that covers mostly his chest. He has two scabbards on his waist, holding his sword and his main gauche.

Despite his aesthetic, he speaks in a rather ruggish tone with a bit of youthful deepness.

Personality
Voltaire, though cynical, lazy, shy, easy to irritate, and aloof most of the time, is actually altruistic, humble, and very patient. He may mostly be lazy and cynical, but he can show a smile from time to time.

Voltaire is smart, but his school academic reports he has bad grades. While his parents and others assume he just doesn't feel like it as if he's too smart for his subjects, it's partially true. It's because of that, and the fact he had no friends to turn to for help on certain subjects he has problems with. Voltaire is also known to be philosophical and can usually say things that can leave people to wonder about themselves, or even inspire others, sometimes much to his surprise.

While anti-social, he won't stand it if people watch others die or suffer. He doesn't care if the person in need or damsel in distress remembers him, as long as they're safe, he feels accomplished. Though an only child, he has a "big bro" aura around his team.

While of a seemingly aristocratic family, Voltaire would never flaunt or show off his wealth, or even use it as justification. He believes that humans are the same, but have different abilities. Even when encountering low-class citizens, he'll never mock their status, but he can sometimes indirectly mock them -unintentionally- by saying that hard work earns him clothing like his. While some bullies in his school use their wealth to avoid legal laws, he'd only use it to protect others from harm rather than harm others. He hates the belief of growing powerful through defiling others; a code that most aristocratic children follow. Adding to his humility, he doesn't want to be widely recognized, as he partially hates responsibility.

While he treats other humans with equality despite their status, he too respects the Faunus. Strangely, he sometimes wished for Faunus with snake tails instead of legs.

Aside from his pros, he's quite forgetful and is considered a bumbling idiot sometimes. He sometimes forgets due dates, and he has a hard time remembering people's faces or personal info. He's also very easy to irritate depending on how it's done.

He likes trying on new clothes, comic books, spiders, planning and writing stories, snacks, and meat dishes. He likes spiders due to the fact they protect him from mosquitoes.

His pet peeves include ungrateful people (ironically), taller people, frogs, veggies, and spicy food. For frogs, he had a very comically traumatic experience in camp where a group of kids chased him all around, trying to present him a frog. He locked himself in his cabin. He has a height complex, and considers his height "girl height".

History
Not much of his history is known as of now. He was born to an electrician and a weaponsmith. His mom and dad trained him how to fight at an early age as to make him protect himself from the frequent gang activity around his area.

Abilities
Voltaire is a well balanced fighter, using speed, strength, and technique to overcome his ruggish gang foes. He's quite dexterous and quick-minded in combat, as he can even catch bullets with his main gauche. He can either fight using only his fists and legs, with his sword and main gauche, or even both. Whenever Voltaire's in combat, he sacrifices any personality traits that could hold him back and fights both calmly and aggressively.

He fights using a saber-like rapier with a long barrel on the dull edge. A revolver barrel is placed on the hilt and can load ammunition. It also has a short bladed hook by the hilt that curves outward, useful for disarming opponents. He also has a parrying dagger/claw/taser. The names of these weapons are yet to be revealed.

His weakness is his all around stats. He's not excessively strong or extremely fast like his other teammates.

Aura and Semblance
His aura has a black and green color.

His Semblance is Brain Link.

Brain Link has not been revealed fully in the fiction yet, but Brain Link's discharged energy comes in the form of dark lightning with a green glow. Brain Link is also linked to telekinetic activity, allowing Voltaire to use Telekinesis. Brain Link seems to not only have telekinetic or electric properties, but also psychological effects.
