Lukas Madrazo was born and raised in Radz-at-Han, a city-state located on Thavnair. He was the only son of Salvatorre Madazo, an Alchemist from Limsa Lominsa and Aruna Patel, a chirurgeon native to Thavnair. For the first twelve years of his life, Lukas had it made, a trust-fund kid with a bright future ahead of him. One day upon returning home from school, there were crowds of people in and around the house. It was then Lukas discovered that his mother had been killed. His father being the suspect had completely vanished. To protect the child, Lukas wasn't allowed to see the corpse of his mother. To this day, the details of the incident aren't clear to Luke and he tends to avoid talking about it.
Luke was promptly relocated to an orphanage, where he eventually became a pickpocket. After some trial and error and a few nights spent in jail, the boy managed to become pretty good at it. Luke managed to make a few memorable friends, but none of his childhood friends stand out as much as Papadmini Padmini, a half-Hyur half-Elezen girl with a Lalafellin style name. Luke managed to drag her along on various adventures, and the two were nearly inseparable, at least until he was nineteen. One of the downsides to thieving was having people recognize you as a thief, so Lukas could hardly find honest work, and at the age of nineteen people are much less forgiving than they would be towards a younger adolescent. In order for Luke to have any hopes of leading a normal life, he'd have to leave his homeland and get a fresh start.
Luke arrived in Eorzea about a year or so after the calamity and worked for a trading company out in Vesper Bay. The work was boring, but it had plenty of perks, one of which was that he became a trained airship pilot. About a year and a half later, the owners of the company were arrested on the count of smuggling narcotics, which Lukas may or may not have been aware of. The company fell apart and Lukas was conveniently left with the airship.
Currently, Luke is twenty-five years old and more or less drifted back into his old ways, though he isn't exactly pickpocketing, he currently trades with illicit goods, such as narcotics, stolen artifacts, weapons and much more.
Appearance:
Lukas stands tall for a Midlander Hyuran male, standing at a good 5'11.5, almost six fulm but no cigar. He's got an athletic lean build, weighing about 180 ponze. Tanned skin that gives away the fact that he's from Thavnair, jet black hair along with yellowish-gold eyes. He's also got a bit of stubble on his chin.
Scars & Markings:
Lukas wears various scars along his body due to the lifestyle he lives, none of the scars look too life-threatening; a cut here, burn there, etc. His main visible scar is on his left cheek which goes all the way to his nose. There is also a tattoo on the left side of his chest of a mandala sun a design that reminds him of home.
Voice:
Luke often speaks with a semi bored sounding tone, which can often come off sarcastic sounding (9 times out of 10 he is being sarcastic). There's also a very faint Hannish accent. Alternatively, Luke has a special salesman voice which he tends to use for special occasions.
Clothing:
Luke often wears typical adventurer wear, leather, cloth, rarely armor. 90% of the time he would be wearing his trusty goggles along with a bomb earring on his left ear.
Luke can often be seen as a lovable idiot. Truth be told, it's not too far from the truth. He has a tendency to speak highly of himself and his achievements, but he's often found lazing around when he isn't working. When speaking to members of the fairer sex, he'll often act overly charming, even citing words from romantic novels despite being guilty of being a womanizer. Every now and then Lukas can seem genuinely kind, and he tends to follow acts of kindness up with silliness.

NPC
Aruna Patel(♥ ✖ ) - Mother
Lukas's mother died when he was twelve years old, she had been ill for some time and there wasn't much that could be done for her, at least not with magicks. One day Lukas came home from school to find out that his mother was dead and his father was nowhere to be found.
Salvatorre Madrazo(♥ ● ) - Father
Lukas doesn't know exactly what to think of his father. Rumor has it that his own father was responsible for his mothers death, though Lukas never got answers and his father didn't exactly seem like the type to murder his own wife. To this day Lukas has no clue what really happened and tries not to think about it.
Trish Madrazo(♥) - Cousin
Trish is a cousin of Lukas's, their fathers being brothers. Trish's side of the family remained in La Noscea, so Luke didn't properly meet his cousin until he was nineteen. The two are relatively close and have a similar style of ridiculousness to them.
Papadmini is Luke's oldest friend, the two met when he was fourteen. He bumped into her while running from some people he happened to rob. Papadmini was only eleven at the time, but she managed to scare off those chasing after Luke with a display of her skills in magicks. The two became close friends and grew up together. The two lost contact when Luke left for Eorzea and would not see eachother until only recently. The two managed to have their reunion in Eorzea six years later. Papa grew into a beautiful woman and Luke is currently kicking himself for not staying in Thavnair.
Lukas and Dex became acquainted fairly quick, the two butt heads a lot but that's just their thing. Lukas will always have a soft spot for Dex despite how many fights they get in.
Seye and Lukas met at an event held in Ul'dah, and with Seye being a mute, Lukas spent an awful lot of time misunderstanding her. He thinks she's cute, but has no idea if the feelings are mutual.
