About Slip

Overheard in a bar:

"Alright, yes I'm a negative energy channeling Cleric of Norgorber ... but once you get to know me, I'm really just short and cute!"

"Really, please, there's no need for concern, I Selective Channel around my friends ... you do want to be my friend, don't you?"

Background

Slip, a dark-skinned halfling of Osirion birth, was abducted by Gnolls and sold into Chelish slavery at an early age. His family and given names long forgotten, he adopted the word "slip" as his name, a derogatory slang spat at halflings by their Chelish slavers. Slip wears a black keffiyeh to hide the house Thrune slave brand that scars his neck.

He quickly learned to hide his hatred for the Chelish, instead devoting years of servitude and "loyalty" to gain their trust as a useful agent. Thus Slip found himself assigned to the Pathfinder Society, secretly working Chelish missions, but for Slip, this was his ticket out of the hell-hole Westcrown and explore the world beyond!

Though he still performs faction missions to discourage his Chelish superiors from paying too close attention to his affairs, Slip has also formed contacts with Andoran freedom fighters and Osirion immigrants, and often assists those members with their own missions - Andoran because Slip's own years of child slavery have hardened his view on this practice; and Osirion because he longs for the culture he never grew up to know as his own.

Though his new life as a Pathfinder grants him status above the lowly slave, Slip habitually continues to offer his service to traveling companions, such as carrying their packs, or volunteering for menial labour, which often makes those not accustomed to slavery, uncomfortable. Old habits die hard.

Chelaxian High Five!

There is a tradition started among the Chelish players of our group - the "Chelaxian High Five". Whenever a Chelish player successfully cons a non-Chelish player (usually Andoran) to assist him with some extremely dodgy faction goal at the expense of the other players moral code, personal interests, better judgement etc, without the other player (or at least their character) realising it, or better yet, (erroneously) believing they did a good deed and left feeling good about it - that's when the Chelish player walks up to the other player, raises his hand and announces with good spirit "Chelaxian High Five!" and the other player joins the high five thinking they've just had a character bonding moment, and maybe these Chelish guys aren't that bad after all?
