[b][color=008000]History:[/color][/b] Teddy's mother, Martha, was raised as the only child of a wealthy family in the Empire. She was 16 when her mother and father lost their fortune and position because of a shared addiction to gambling on horse races; they were sentenced to serve life in prison to pay the debt. Before serving their sentence they married their only daughter to a 25 year old cobbler named Wolfgang. The only item held over from their vast estate was the Saber marked with the family insignia of a prancing rooster. Teddy was born shortly after the union and was always caught between his mother's aristocratic nature and his father's hard working and humble lifestyle. Attaching to his mother he grew up eschewing hard labor and became a bit spoiled, however, he had to do is duty to the family and help in the cobbler shop, there he learned the fine art of shoe making and leather repair. He never had more than one or two friends in his life, he found that talking to people was difficult and he much preferred the solace of books. He did teach himself magic tricks with cards and coins because he thought people might be impressed but while many people found his tricks charming in the cobbler shop they never led to any long term friendships. The Schuster's were never fond of the Empire and lived in a small town for away from any big city. When the rebellion happened Teddy's mother decided that their family could find esteem in the new Republic if they supported their efforts in the war. Teddy was sent to pursue soldiering as a career in the hopes their family might be a part of the "new" aristocracy when the empire fell. He showed up to base camp and got his uniform, there he met the people who would, in time, become closer than family.
