<p>Since then he has been working as an agent for the RHC in the spirit of greater cooperation between the two countries in hopes of a brighter future as allies on their shared island.

<p>Guiverni is a magical spy skilled at changing his own appearance, vanishing without a trace (either invisibility or teleportation) and messing with minds. He also has an ace up his sleeve in the form of a destructive blast.

He's also reasonably adept with the rapier he wields.</p>

<p>Guiverni grew up in Seobriga as part of a clutch of three. His parents worked as what they called 'merchants of information', though others called them spies. They bought and sold information, ensuring the information was actually gone from the seller through use of mind magic.
<br />
It was through his parents' business that Guiverni came into contact with the Enforcers of Freedom, which he later joined to put distance between himself and his parents' shady business. By now his parents have retired and his sister and her husband have taken over. His last clutch mate, a brother, never had any interest in spying and instead is a gifted technologist who takes particular delight in intricate clockwork objects.</p>
<p>My idea for the start is that he's on official duty investigating a lead that he, somewhat to Guiverni's frustration, got through the family business. What that lead is is of course entirely open.</p>While I'm still working on the mechanics, here is some background for my character.

<br />
Are goblins allowed? I would have played a kobold, but the str penalty was just too much to get around, and goblins get a cool climb speed.
<br />
Starting wealth?
<br />
I've got a pretty much finished sheet, [Spoiler omitted] They'd make a decent infiltrator/extricator, or bodyguard to a squishy. Plus they have a greater than 50% chance to be able to smash through an iron door in a single round as a goblin :) I think they could relate really well to Cuan's character, will post more in a few hours.</p>Last few questions, sorry if they've already been answered in the past, I am very fatigued now.
