Current Character: NA
IC INFO;
Character Name: Luke Skywalker
Canon: Star Wars
Canon Information: Star Wars in general, and Luke in specific.
Canon Point: End of Return of the Jedi.
Age: 23
God Houses:
Frigg: Luke has more love and compassion for life in his pinky than most of the galaxy, and literally was willing to sacrifice himself to protect the people he loves.Also, he never knew his mother oops.
Honir: Literally his whole story started with him complaining that he never got to go anywhere, and wanted to get off his home planet. Also quite possibly made of pure sunshine; jury's still out on that one.
Tyr: Luke often throws himself into the line of danger despite the very likelihood that he could die, all in the hopes of bringing an end to the Empire and restoring the Republic.
Personality: The fandom has taken to describing Luke as a sweet cinnamon roll as of late, and that's not too far from the truth. Luke maintains a farmboy innocence to him even at his canon point, despite the maturity he has begun to build. He truly has a good heart, and wouldn't knowingly do anything wrong if he could avoid it. His innocence shows most in his face; he has a smile that can light up a room in even the darkest of moments, but there is also a bit of naivety to his actions and opinions. Often times he comes up with plans that would usually go badly, purely because he believes in his heart that he can make it work. Sometimes it does, though only because Luke has the Force as back up. Other times he's lucky to come out of it with his life, chief example among this being literally any time he's confronted Darth Vader. On that note, he also never gives up on believing the best in people, including his father, believing him redeemable until the very end.
Skywalker stubbornness is legendary in the galaxy, and Luke is no exception. When he gets a thought in his head, he pursues it to the very end, no matter how many times he has to change plans along the way. He is very much a person ruled by impulsiveness and recklessness, and has been known to go off on his own with little consideration for his own safety. His training with Yoda did a little to tame this, though perhaps the biggest lesson in learning this behavior was not okay came from losing his hand while fighting Darth Vader. He still has moments where he has knee jerk reactions and jumping in without seeing the whole picture (especially without the Force to back him up), but these moments will likely be infrequent.
Since he was a child, he had a strong sense of morality, and wouldn't put up with people that tried to go against that, going so far as to stand up against thugs that were taking water from poor farmers during a drout when he was eight years old. This continues well into adulthood, and he's notably been unable to ignore people in need, to the point of endangering the success of a mission. Despite this moral highground, he doesn't seem to have an arrogant, pushy side about it -- what little arrogance he has comes from his own abilities as a pilot, and even then, the most that extends to is bragging about being able to take potshots at 2-meter long rodents in a moving vehicle. Despite his adventure lust and all he has accomplished so far, Luke is surprisingly humble, and almost a little confidence shy, especially when it comes to his Force training, which led to him parting ways with the Alliance more than once.
Luke is very much a young man ruled by his emotions, and while he's learned control, this can sometimes be detrimental. He's managed to control his fear, something that even Vader makes note of, but his anger is a weakness of his. Much like his father, he's quick to respond with anger when someone wrongs him or his friends, which often is the source of a lot of his poor life choices. It's often out of anger that he allows Vader to bait him into confrontations -- or even go after him himself, as was the case on Cymoon 1 despite all the warnings he had to run away. It's also led him to speaking his mind a little too quickly, sometimes spouting off an opinion that may have best been left unsaid. On the positive side, he's also a very loving individual, as evidence by his care and affection for his friends. He has nothing but the utmost faith in them and would do anything for them, and even when they get on his nerves (as Han does on occasion), he's quick to forgive them. He can also be easily excitable, especially when it comes to talking about working on machinery or piloting, and he is more than happy to babble endlessly about his endevors in both areas.
In the end, Luke is the very definition of a heroic character. He starts out with the belief that a hero is an adventure seeker, always out to do good in the galaxy, without really thinking about the cost of it. Now, however, he come to understand the responsibility that role requires, and is finding the humble state of mind to continue following the path he chose.
