About Javi the Wasp

At an inch or so over two and a half feet tall, Javi's small… even for a halfling. And he looks like he might weigh thirty pounds soaking wet. His clothes are a mishmash of colors and patterns, some items looking expensive while others are clearly rags… and some of them even fit. A well-worn set of leathers peeks out from beneath his clothes, and a very keen observer might catch the hilt of one of his small blades. His skin is a dark tan, and his eyes and hair are both also a nearly black brown. And his grin is never so big as when he's in the middle of doing something stupid and/or dangerous.

About Javi
Like most halflings, Javi has done a lot of traveling for his age. Some say it's in their bones. Maybe it's in those feet. Javi, however – despite his love of travel – often finds himself being drawn back to the steamy, often garish streets of Katepesh. Maybe it's because that's where he was born. Maybe it's because that's what he knows best. But Javi would say there's just something about the city that gets in your blood, though I'm guessing you'd have to have the same love of danger and excitement to feel the same.

Javi was born just another slum rat in an already-infested city. And while his size often made him the target for bullies or worse, his quick thinking, eyes, fingers, and feet kept him alive… plus some. It didn't hurt that he had enough guts to drown a camel. He picked up the moniker "the wasp" while growing up among the teams of cutpurses. He was good. Maybe not the best, but he could hold his own. And unfortunately, that was just the beginning. Like a future pesh addict getting his first taste, Javi just couldn't get enough of the adrenaline and the fun. He was quickly into heists, con jobs, roof-running, rumor-mongering… anything that promised a little fun or something new. When you've cut enough purses and lifted enough window-locks, though, you quickly realize the emptiness of seeking wealth. It can always be taken. So Javi lives for the thrill, and he lives for the moment. And when he gets in over his head, Javi just hitches a ride on an unsuspecting caravan. There are other town and other sites. He does always seem to find his way back to his first love, though.. Katapesh.

Yin Hu, though. Now there's a woman Javi's never crossed. Something about the little merchant (well, little to everyone else) just seemed to get his nerves a-twitchin. He'd never really dealt with her, really. Maybe he never thought it would be fun enough. Maybe he never had a reason.

But lately… Javi sits and considers as he watches the strange little woman from across the bazaar. Lately it was like the strange old woman was a magnet to his metal. And damn if Javi ever got an itch he didn't at least try to scratch…
