Varian Xavier Locke

Overview
Varian Locke is one of the leading protagonists of the Galaxy Dreams story. He is a young adult Plazcat and former gladiator searching for his home planet in hopes of seeing his family again.

History
Once a resident of the lesser-known planet of Plazca, Varian landed in prison after attempting to steal the Ghost Patch, a highly valued artifact. He is generally reserved about sharing details of his past, but makes it known that he is striving to return to his home planet.

During his childhood on his home planet, Varian lived with his parents and his two younger sisters, Nys and Aeona. He got along well with his family and was very devoted to them. He especially enjoyed playing with his sisters, especially because of how much they looked up to him.

An unknown event caused Varian to leave Plazca, eventually resulting with him spending time in prison. He is reluctant to share details of why he left his home, but it's heavily implied that the reason was very damaging to him. He makes it very clear how important it is that he return to his family, but he seems to have a lot of doubts about that being possible. His circumstances indicate that his family may not even be alive anymore.

Personality
Varian is energetic, reckless, and passionate. Although he can be forgetful and seemingly oblivious, he takes every challenge on without hesitation. He also fluctuates between his emotions almost instantaneously, going from one extreme to the other in a matter of seconds. Despite having an overconfident exterior, Varian isn't as successful as he tries to appear. He often flirts with and shows off to girls, but gets very flustered when any of his affections are actually reciprocated. His childlike behavior and overenthusiastic personality might be obnoxious to some people, but deep down, Varian cares fiercely for his friends and family.

Abilities
Varian is surprisingly resilient, and his body can recover from near fatal wounds in only a few minutes. His best tactics on the battlefield involve speed, cunning, and sneaking. His Plazcan blood is also acidic, and burns to the touch for anyone who is not a Plazcat. It also contains plasmic qualities that are useful for fueling spaceships.
