GENERAL INFO

Lukas Madrazo is your typical True-Neutral aligned Treasure Hunter. Leader of Team Red, a group dedicated to treasure hunting and a former thief/bandit. Lukas turned away from the chaotic lifestyle in order to pursue a lifestyle where he doesn't constantly have people after his head. For the most part, that previous lifestyle is behind him, though every now and then debris from his past does appear on the road forward.

Lukas is an easy-going guy, laid back with a decent amount of determination.' He doesn't often get worked up about much, though there are SOME things that may trigger a noteable reaction. While his personality helps him think of tactful approaches when things get tough, it can also be a negative quality. There are often things he wont care much about unless there's enough money to gather his interest. Lukas lacks many leadership qualities, but he can be charismatic, though if he were in a leading position, he would do best behind the scenes.

He can appear to be full of himself and/or boastful though it's often him just blowing smoke. He's currently a part of the Free Company known as Outriders, a group of adventurers who simply help out wherever they're needed for a small fee. Team Red is a small faction within this company of which Lukas refers to himself as the "Leading Man."

APPEARANCE

Like most people, Lukas carries himself based off of his life experiences. For him thats a stride of confidence along with a cocky smirk. He stands at about five fulm, eight ilm, which is considerably tall for a Hyur male. His body is about 186 ponze of lean athletic muscle due to the typical day to day adventurer lifestyle. He has medium length shaggy black hair and his skin is a dark tan which easily gives away the fact that he is originally from the Thanalan reigon of Eorzea.

Lukas will rarely be seen without his lucky red goggles, which he keeps several pairs of, incase a pair cracks or something of the like. His reasoning for wearing them is simply so that women can't tell for sure if he's looking at their cleavage. Though, when asked he'll say something along the lines of; "It gives me an edge in combat, usually me eyes are what gives it away if I'm losing confidence, with these I can maintain an emotionless face." or "So I can fall asleep when I'm supposed to be listenin' to ya." Those may be true to an extent, though his true intentions are so that he can eye cleavage and that he does consider them lucky.

On his left ear, there's a bomb earring which, coincidentally, is actually a small cherry bomb! It doesn't have much strength behind it, it's more of a sneak attack when the going gets rough. Since we're on the topic of left sides, his cheek also has what he refers to as a "fancy scar" which was given to him by an ex-girlfriend at the age of seventeen. Their relationship was cut short thanks to Lukas having an affair with a Miqo'te. [sad_horn.wav]

Lukas is usually seen wearing light clothes, nothing too heavy so that he can relax in the clothes he'd wear for combat. He carries a large grey revolver on his back which he's named Bad Company.

LIKES ■ Apkallu He has a thing for birds, that much is true. However, above any type of bird, Lukas is a total sucker for Apkallu. "What? They're cute." ■ Airships He's always been fascinated by the idea of flight, the sky just gives a great feeling of freedom. Lukas absolutely loves airships and will likely admire the design of almost any type he finds nice looking enough, even if the ship may belong to an enemy. ■ Technology Lukas has a great appreciation for technology, such as turrets and magitek bi-pedal walkers. He's very likely to take something apart given the opportunity to figure out how it works. ■ Riddles While he may not be an expert at solving riddles, Lukas greatly enjoys a brain exercise and will insist that no one gives him the answer. ■ Limsa Lominsa Lukas wasn't born in Limsa Lomsina, however, it is where he grew up. Lots and lots of fond memories lie in the city for him and he's proud to be from there. ■ Gambling The thrill of gambling truly excites him, despite the odds being against you, the fact that winning is still a possible outcome prevents him from walking away. He might have a problem.

DISLIKES ■ Voidsent Well of course, almost any sane person would dislike Voidsent. This is true, but Lukas has had a few bad encounters with them and they just creep him out. ■ Nobles He finds them irritating, of course there may be some decent nobles out there but he's dealt with too many that just left a bad taste in his mouth. ■ Losing Lukas can lose a friendly fight, smile and say "Good fight," sure. But when he's fighting to prove something or anything that might be more serious to him, he dwells on it. ■ Half-assed Plans Lukas can smell a half-assed plan miles away, and it's a pet peeve to someone who prefers tactical approaches. "Your plans represent you, take pride in 'em!" ■ The Black Shroud Not only does Lukas have a bounty on his head there, but he's also got allergies. He avoids going there as much as he can. ■ Working for Free Often Lukas gets dragged along to do some kind of task that definitely makes you look like a good person for doing it, but nothing kills Lukas' motivation like no pay.

MOTIVATION ■ Money Money makes the world go round, everyone needs it at some point. ■ Adventure Lukas enjoys seeing new places, he'll likely dive at the opportunity to travel somewhere uncharted. ■ Solid Plans If there's a plan that Lukas is acting according to, and that plan is 100% fool-proof, Lukas is so there. Of course, realistically, there aren't many plans that can be 100% fool-proof. ■ Progress Lukas loves being able to look back and see how far he's come, anything that promises progress will likely fuel Lukas' will. ■ Experience Lukas is a very hands-on learner, if there's something he's never done before he'll be anxious to try it out for the first time.

STRENGTHS ■ Level Headed Lukas prides himself on being able to keep a cool head when things get tough. It's something he struggled with in the past. ■ Reading Others Lukas is good at reading body language, or simply finding out something about someone that they aren't directly putting on display. ■ Good Listener Lukas may not advertise this about himself much, but when a friend comes to him with a problem, he's quick to listen and assist in finding a solution to their problem. ■ Mechanically Inclined Lukas is a natural at figuring out things such as robotics and can even create a few small automatons. He can repair almost any vehicle along with knowing how to operate them. ■ Charismatic Lukas can be outgoing and likeable, mainly due to his relaxed persona, making easily approachable. He's also known to be quite the charmer. Sometimes. ■ Confident Confident is a nice way of putting it, cocky fits better though.

WEAKNESSES ■ Gambling As mentioned earlier, despite the success rate being 7%, Lukas will likely take that chance, which obviously has a 93% chance of going bad. ■ Cleavage Lukas will stare, and it can easily screw him over depending on the situation. ■ Nonchalant He often comes off as the type who just doesn't care, despite him actually caring or not. ■ Passive While not overly passive, there are plenty of times where Lukas could have prevented something bad from happening, though he wrote it off as none of his business. ■ Romantic Commitment Lukas is in no way ready to settle down, so to avoid leading someone on, he refuses to get in an exclusive relationship.

QUIRKS ■ Goggles They stay on a good 80% of the time. ■ Flirty Nothing breaks the ice quite like Lukas trying to get into your panties. ■ Posing Lukas can seem pretty theatrical when it comes to striking a pose. ■ Seat Check! If all the seats are taken and you stand up, Lukas might just steal your chair.

BACKSTORY

Lukas Madrazo is your average treasure hunter with a tiny bit of fame behind him. With his cunning nature, one would be lead to believe that Lukas was born for this role. Well, surprisingly enough, that isn't too far from the truth, but let's rewind a bit. Lukas is the son of Salvatore Madrazo and Ayla Sharp. Salvatore, a Midlander from La Noscea, was a well known Treasure Hunter who made his big break discovering a vault of Allagan Treasures in Mor Dhona. Ayla Sharp, an Ala Mhigan Highlander, was quite a successful freelance thief. The two crossed paths due to how anyone would expect a Thief and a Treasure Hunter sitting on a load of wealth would cross. Ayla was planning to rob the man and the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and they've got two children, a girl, Mariah Madrazo, age thirteen, and a son, Lukas Madrazo, eight years old. The four of them lived a comfortable life in Vesper Bay.

Later, Salvatore would hear news of something known as The Great Hunt, which was something like Treasure Hunter games, there was a large payout ontop of any treasures that one might find. Salvatore decides to take part in it, just for old times sake. Ayla has no issues with it and decides to stay with the kids in Vesper Bay. Two days after Salvatore leaves, a large crew of bandits make their way to their home. Ayla immediately recognized the bandits, who were known to be extremely ruthless. She lead the two of her children to the back door and ordered them to run. She would stay behind to hold the bandits off, ultimately losing her life. Mariah being more aware of the situation was quick to lead her younger brother away. They found a cargo ship heading to Limsa Lominsa, the two sailors would only have room for one of them to come along, but they were kind enough to not ask for pay. Mariah had Lukas get on the boat for his safety before she ran off into the desert. Salvatore heard the news and returned as fast as he could, only to find his wife dead due to multiple stab wounds and his children nowhere to be found. No one knows exactly what happened to Salvatore, some speculated that he had ended his life, others say he sailed the skies to Azys Lla. Lukas hasn't seen his sister since that day either.

Lukas is now in Limsa Lominsa, only eight years old. The city looked and smelled nothing like the desert region he was used to. Unfortunately for him, being in such a new place without anyone to rely on, food quickly became a challenge for him. After three days of wandering around, homeless, he had no choice but to take a chance and steal something to eat. He made his way through Hawkers' Alley and managed to boost two apples without getting caught. His success satisfied his hunger and it only encouraged him to do it more. He eventually joined a street gang of punks known as Hawkers' Alley Cutters and they became his new family. Over the years, Lukas got better at stealing, pickpocketting was sort of a fun pastime between all of them.

The gang split after the calamity, Lukas at this point was seventeen. He would continue with his ways of thievery, in and out of prison, joining a few Free Companies here and there for side money, but keeping his habits to himself. At twenty-one he joined a privateer company, there he met an ex-pirate miqo'te woman known as W'komara Jhida, currently an officer for the Maelstrom. She became a sort of mentor for him, seeing as how their pasts were similar, she was one of the few people Lukas trusted with almost anything. One day, Lukas attempted to rob a wealthy company in The Goblet which didn't go well for him at all, the company planned to put him to death, no one would miss a thief anyway. Lukas pleaded with them to let him make one more call to his lover which they allowed. Lukas called W'komara and told her of the situation in hopes that she could help him, which she did. With the help of Lukas' stalling, she made it to the house and was able to 'arrest' Lukas for other crimes and escorted him away. Once alone, W'komara gave Lukas a harsh talking to which was roughly her telling him that she wont always be there to help him, and that he'll need to change his ways if he wants to survive. Normally, this kind of talk was something Lukas was very stubborn with, but this time he agreed.

Lukas changed, he decided he wasn't a big fan of dying at such a young age and decided to become a Treasure Hunter like his father. He spent a good chunk of his life living how his mother did, and he knew that isn't something she'd have preferred, but perhaps in the afterlife she would've worn an amused smirk at her sons actions. Lukas gained his first bit of fame by assisting a raid on a Garlean base, procuring a few minor allagan relics from them. Lukas is currently a part of a Free Company known as Outriders and leads a crew known as Team Red who are a team of Treasure Hunters for hire.
