Wyrd66 - Wait I got distracted by my man Jarovin. Tell me about his scars.
Generally, Lockian scars translate to physical form in some way, regardless of the form. Like Vrax, who was blitzed by Hons - all his Lockian forms, and any other forms he takes, are a bit buggered. They come out a little weird in the manifesting. And like Jeih, who also got blitzed by Hons; he rebounded gold and a little scrambled, and rolled with it.
Marks are a little different; they may not show up in Lockian form but may appear in other forms (like Ary’s mark, or Jura’s mark). Marks tend to be intentional, and purposeful, and at least between Locks mutually and gracefully received.
No one knew about Jarovin’s scars because they don’t appear on his Lockian form. It wasn’t until Scott shows up and Jarovin randomly pops into human guise around North Cliff are they really revealed. Generally he’s clothed such that they’re not seen, he almost always has his vest on at the very least. The scars stretch the length of his torso front and back and down one leg. If they affect him in any way, he doesn’t let on.
So there’s some debate among Locks if they’re scars or marks.
No one knows where they came from; in the Locks’ long memory no one ever remembers Jarovin fighting anyone, or anything. He’s different to the rest of them as well, they know, both in nature and in scale; he’s not an entity one fights. So they’re puzzled. Who would try? And who/what would even be able to do that kind of damage to an entity like that?
Although his song was the first to be heard his origins are also obscure so the Locks are split; some believe he acquired them at his beginning somehow, some believe something went down between him and another creature like him, and then some theorize that at some point there was beef between him and Red at the beginning and it somehow escaped the notice of… everyone. And this beef was either settled in a mutual agreement. Or blood.
To be fair, the Locks only vaguely remember when Red showed up on the scene, although Red himself maintains he was late second generation/early hierarchy-born (third generation). A lot was going on at the time, and no one wants to be the one to share memories with him to verify.
The mystery remains unsolved.
