About

Larkin is a very bright and upcoming scientist and doctor. It was Sir Attaly who took him under his arm, a well-known and well-respected man who was known for his advances in science. Being 17 when the chance came, he did not know what to expect when it was revealed that Sir. Attaly simply used the work of other scientists as if it were his own as if he were Larkin. Someone who worked alongside Sir. Attaly and was trying to learn from him.

He is often seen as intelligent, friendly, and accepting of others. He has a huge love of fudge, theories, supernatural theories, and classical music - he seems to have a lot of knowledge in these areas - more than a standard person would know. This can be accompanied by the fact that his home is filled with a lot of the things he loves. Fletcher would be surprised by this once he gets to explore the house a lot more - and learns a lot more about Larkin.

Larkin has been taken advantage of by Sir. Attaly. Almost all of Larkin's work has been stolen and put under the control of Sir Attaly for quite some time now. This has been his life for the last 4 years. Keeping a poker face about the truth of Sir. Attaly after looking up the other scientists who were before him and how all their careers were ruined. This is the only life that he knew, and it was far better than before. It was not a life he wanted to throw away to not be able to do what he loved. So he continued to work under the man for the last 4 years.

He's slowly gotten to the point with some convincing from his friend Lloyd, that he's starting to want some change. He has fought for himself against Sir. Attaly. Recently, Attaly has been annoyed by this retaliation since this is not how Larkin usually behaves. Sir. Attaly blames it on Lloyd being a toxic influence and continues to take advantage of Larkin by blackmailing him, not only Larkin but Lloyd as well. With his friend's job at risk, Larkin doesn't pull the trigger on leaving him.

Larkin feels that this is just how his life will continue to be until Sir. Attaly dies - with no alternative in sight. He wouldn't want to hurt a friend for his own purposes. So now he just waits, maybe for a miracle to happen. And maybe a miracle happened when a certain man showed up.

Fletcher showed up in Larkin's life after a successful presentation at the Science Association. Larkin was out for drinks before being paid for his work by Sir. Attaly. Larkin did not know that there was someone stalking him, and Attaly, on the way home.

After being nearly killed at home, Fletcher turns up and introduces himself, and explains about keeping an eye. It is also then that Larkin realizes that this is the famous Golden Thief, who disappeared 2 years ago. The golden magic Fletcher supposedly had to save him was an obvious indication to Larkin that he was the Golden Thief. It's then that he becomes insanely curious about Fletcher and his magic. Fletcher seems a bit taken aback by this interest.

However, Larkin will insist that he will get to the bottom of finding out how his magic works if Fletcher would allow him to. Fletcher seems hesitant, knowing that humans shouldn't be exposed to this at all - but the charming nature of Larkin's curiosity and willingness to help convince him.

For Fletcher, Larkin is intriguing because he is a human with a keen interest in supernatural stories and theories. However, Larkin works in a field that disapproves of the idea that magic is the only way to heal or change something. Furthermore, it is one of the first times that someone is trying to help him out, without being scared of what he's gotten into or wanting to take advantage of him. Larkin shows genuine care in the way that he acts. They have very similar goals in mind, and they bounce off each other well - so it's no wonder why they would eventually become a detective duo together.


"There's more to it than just a theory. Trust me, I think I've seen it all, but I haven't."

Personality

Larkin had a fairly shielded childhood so he's never been particularly adept at making connections with friends and doesn't trust people very easily. He doesn't get angry often and prefers to do everything himself. He feels very guilty when people do things for him because he feels like he should be able to do everything himself - because that's what he's been taught to do. Honesty is really key for Larkin and a lot of his relationships build upon that and are created because of it.

Larkin tends to have pretty sharp insight and instinct when he first meets someone. He can tell if they can get along or not. But this can sometimes be blinding if he's a big fan of someone's work for example. It could be put in danger and could be easily manipulated if someone abuses Larkin's trust.

He gets very easily overwhelmed in loud crowded spaces and often feels sick if there's too much going on. He really loves his alone time and appreciates a lot of quiet moments in his life like listening to music or just being with himself. He often likes to work by himself and would like to be left alone. Fletcher used to always be curious and would want to chat with Larkin early on because he quickly learned that Larkin just cannot multi-task between working on something and having a completely different conversation.

Larkin has a heart of gold and has always cared deeply about people. As a scientist, he wants to make medical discoveries, but he also acts as a physician. Since now he works with Fletcher, he only handles Mr. Levene's checkups. He will do whatever it takes to save someone and will always try to find a safe alternative to risking someone's life. It's why he worries about Fletcher so much because he doesn't seem to care about his own life to save another.

Trivia

  • He was raised for most of his early childhood in Ireland (So he has an irish accent) but was originally born in England. His father being english and his mother irish.
  • Larkin's vampire bite has never gone away since that night. Even if it does go away - the scarf he really likes now so he doesn't imagine never not wearing it.
  • In Larkin's bag he has: The book he gets at the start (sometimes), Rope, Medical first-aid stuff as well as pens and other bits and bobs.
  • Larkin has an older sister who he often sends letters to - but haven't seen eachother for a very long time - she is 7 years older then him and she has a english accent so a lot of the time even though they look alike a lot of people don't think they are siblings.
