Everyone and their dog (*I didn't know domesticated animals were so smart nowadays in Cantr) knows of Ranger John Locke, if not from in game, then oocly. I would suggest you subltey change the spelling of your characters name at least, just to avoid confusion.
Never heard of him, scouts oath. *winks* Seriously, I have never heard of him. I got the name from a series that I like. I was dubbed a Knight by the city I live in. I used to just be John Locke.

I have lost count of the number of Brandons for example.
I was merely thinking it might piss nitefyre off, but then I'm not sure he would care anymore either (**Those rumors that I may be leaving Cantr are not yet confirmed nor denied officially, but I will put it in stone in a topic later this month, since the way to go out is not to fade away but apparently to make about 5 topics announcing--wait, I may have given away too much already)...
1. One is made to sound like a pissy oldbie who would get uptight about his late character's name being copied, indeed the most famous character in cantr as of a year ago, because he turns the other eye for a wee while, eh?
Well, not so; in fact, the way I see it, "[even unintentional] imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!"
2. To allow the story behind the name to go unclarified would be a dishonor to Cantr history, so I must give you that VH1 Behind the Music (Cantrians in general are sort of post-hip tv-stuff according to this topic, thus the allusion) anecdote. As can be deduced from the recent HOBBES COMMENTARY, both Hobbes and Locke were drawn from their original historical sources in the Enlightenment (not that creation called Lost) since the game was falsely advertised as something re-creating human societal/philosophical,etc evolution when I signed up for my first characters. And that was a long time ago. When the dinosaurs roamed.
4. For me to leave again without giving out the (unofficial, nitefyre-sponsored) merit-based "Fo' Sho': History Revival Award" would be unduly and so I nominate Phalynx to hold it for the upcoming Cantr year which must have ended yesterday by the time I got to this topic. His work in promoting the Locke-Hobbes-other great nitefyre characters foundation has definitely qualified him for this great honor. Kudos to Oasis and Sho for making quasi-references to those prodigious characters--they were runner ups.
