Hello everybody! I's anon 38.112.87.226 here, New computer and lack of time with University and other projects have kinda kept me away (not that anyone really cares...sorry if I seem a bit egocentric here) (sorry if I seem too apologetic, Canadian after all) My theory on Locus still stands, he still definently has some form of dissociative personality disorder but not as severe or pronounced as I imaginedé also it almost seems that losing was therapeutic for him, his inner personality seeming to emerge when Felix died, it was still gruff and rough around the edges, and his outer personality might still be there, but its good to see him get a foothold on his own issues. On the other hand, I may have I am a lot more certain that Felix is suffering from ASPD, even when he knows it is over, even when everything is gone, he still seeks personal gratification, to finish what he started, although this isn't all that common in ASPD sufferers, those who are particularly severe can't stop their pathological need to further themselves at the cost of any kind of security. He is especially parasitic of Locus, protecting him and keeping him alive only because Locus provides him some form of protection and use, even making sure he won't heal from his personal trauma to further his own gain. As to how this would fit into a fight situation, Locus would theoretically destroy Felix one on one, he knows all the moves, all the tricks and all the triggers to set Felix off, but Felix also has an Ace. (or had... considering he is no longer with us) Locus is still dependant on him as a confirmation that what he is doing is right and soldierly, Felix could exploit this to set him off, even after Locus has started healing from old wounds. ranged combat would be impossible, even if Locus wasn't emotionally compromised, felix would block all rounds, and felix is not capable of hitting a mobile locus with active camouflage. Mid range combat would also be difficult as Felix could start to get in Locus' head and Locus would still be too early into the fight, requiring more blocking from Felix. Finally in close range, Locus could snap, which would be the end of him, or felix would think he has won, start celebrating only for locus to up and kill him or both of them at once. I also agree that Locus confronting his former CO would be a very interesting plot point, they re-intergrated into society right? So the CO would be live action, probably an old man, or older anyway, Locus could coldly get revenge and give into his base urges, or he could relax, forgive him, take off the helmet and start to re-intergrate
