:For other uses, see Strafe (Disambiguation)
Strafe, full name Strafe Lockborne, is the main character of his eponymous series, and a demigod birthed by a Goddess and a human. At an early age, he joined a thieves guild to quickly became a well-known criminal around the world.
Following the event in Fantendo Smash Bros. Shattered, Strafe will become one of the main protagonists in the New Fantendoverse.
Strafe first appeared in Strafe: Heaven Born and was originally created by .
==Appearance==
Strafe is a white-skinned male with brown eyes and spiky bluish-green hair. Like his peers, he has had a lot of outfits over the years, usually incorporating a jacket or coat into the design. These vary from brown to blue. Strafe is also almost always seen with fingerless gloves as well.
==Personality==
Strafe has a tendency to dislike all authority, disobeying commands just to prove his independence. Strafe is also capable of becoming extremely dedicated to a cause that he supports, managing to overcome this behavior if he finds it necessary through sheer willpower.
He is often shown as constantly making jokes (and in his debut appearances, breaking the fourth wall). 
Due to his tragic childhood and the helplessness he experienced as a very young age, Strafe tries to hide his trauma underneath his care-freeness and desire for independence. He seems to have a tough time connecting with people but can still get along with others who also had a difficult childhood.
Strafe is also fairly dismissive of his past. Strafe only looks forward, and when confronted about the past, finds it extremely painful and wants to get past it as quickly as possible.
Being the child of a mortal and a goddess, Strafe forever has been in conflict with both his godhood and his mortality.

His father became more possessed with dark energies that caused him to act irrationally. At some point, Strafe joined the Thieves Guild in Noah, which he would later go on regret.

Strafe has a variety of light magic powers, but is not able to utilize them to the way others are able to handle their powers. He has been shown to project light as both a protecting force and through ranged attacks. He can also utilize it to heal and teleport.
Strafe's toolset mainly revolves around his weapons. He carries around a desert eagle rifle and grenades. He also has a fair amount of combat training that allows him to utilize hard jabs and kicks. Strafe is capable of smart combat, although the extent of his abilities is mostly ranged attacks.
Strafe's deityhood is not fully understood. As a demi-god, he would seem to have the potential to become much more powerful. However, he seems to not explore this, perhaps out of fear of what it could mean for the relationships he's created over the years. Tackling the responsibilities of a god, or even half-god, seems to not interest him very much.
