Character

Appearance

Leopold certainly isn't the best looking guy. His hair is a blend of red and brown, kept a bit shaggy and in his eyes. He has a strange patch of chin fuzz at the point of his chin reaching up to his lower lip. His features are sharp and angular, his eyes somewhat small for his face.

Personality

Leopold has a rather poor outlook on life.

Leopold is a bit of a douchebag. He is quick to anger and has no hesitation in hitting people with whatever he's carrying.

Family

The Starkes aren't exactly the most respectable of people. Miners by trade, they often implored in less honorable trades when off the job. They had their hands in trading addictive substances and otherwise illegal supplies. Aside from their more underground activities, they both love Leopold very much and believe he was the greatest trade they've ever made in his life.

History

Before the Calamity

Leopold was adopted as an infant by a mining family living in Horizon's Edge on the Royal Allagan Sunway in Western Thanalan. The Starkes weren't able to have children of their own, so they bought Leopold off his birth family using gil and drugs as a payment.

At an early age, Leopold became very aware he wasn't related to his parents. They were both blond-haired and blue-eyed and he was most definitely not. They explained they adopted him from a family which didn't want him, not telling him the details of the exchange. They told him his birth name was Leopold Frost but they didn't know much more than that. They had changed his name from Frost to Starke because they said he was part of their family, adopted or not. They considered him their son.

He accepted this, as the Starkes were the only family he knew. But that didn't mean the idea of what his birth family had done didn't sour his outlook on life. They'd given him up, but they put him in a suitable place. Still, there was that curiosity to find out who this birth family was and beat them with a stick.
