Background:
Atash is referred to as many things: a thief, a mercenary, a scholar, a drunk, a philosopher, a trickster. Those who think they're clever call him a rat bastard. The affectionate call him a Mage of Fortune. Regardless, to find Atash one only need to offer up enough gold, and all manner of impossible infiltration and trickery shall be accomplished.
His history is a mystery, one that he does not share with many. He seems to have no family or childhood friends, despite the idea that his familiar is somehow related to him (a completely false and borderline racist notion). He has never held a residence or stayed in a place very long. It's clear he's from a distant land based not only his strange ancestry and appearance, but also his culturally foreign mannerisms and somewhat accented common. Appearance and Personality:
Atash is a tiny creature, not even 2 feet tall and roughly 10 pounds. He is covered in short and soft coal-black fur, dusted with bits of dark brown and dark grey. He has a sharp nose and piercing dark blue eyes, and his pointed ears have a total of seven silver earrings between them. He is usually covered by a black cloak, but beneath it is a wiry figure and a chilling amount of whip scars mostly on his back.
Atash is very soft spoken, so quiet and slow it is as if every word is gingerly chosen. He does not warm to others easily and mostly distances himself both physically and emotionally from those around him, although his curiosity often brings him close for brief stints. He does recognize acts of kindness and quietly appreciates them, keeping mental notes to repay what karma he can. Overall he comes off as somebody who may have been a gentle soul at one point but who has become cautious, anxious, and mostly self-focused due to life events. ------------------------------ FAMILIAR ------------------------------ Statistics:

Natural Armor Adjustment (+3) The number noted here is in addition to the familiar’s existing natural armor bonus. Alertness While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat. Improved Evasion When making a Reflex save for half damage, a familiar takes no damage on a success and half damage on a fail.

Empathic Link (Su) The master has an empathic link for general emotions with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. Deliver Touch Spells If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell. Speak with Master A familiar and the master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help. Speak with Animals of Its Kind (rodents) A familiar can communicate with animals of approximately the same kind as itself (including dire varieties). Such communication is limited by the Intelligence of the conversing creatures. Gear/Possessions:

Quercus the Dauntless
Faction: Autokratorian Location: Idalium When Damien of Chester was reassigned to the Paper Forts, he had been given a position that Quercus had been trying to get promoted to for years. Quercus was furious that Damien got in the way of his rise through the ranks and is now hell bent on using the man as a stepping stone. As an Autokratorian tasked with investigating the potential cultists Quercus knew where he could undermine him: by hiring a particular fuzzy mercenary to get the job done first, and then let Quercus take all the credit. Astaldrur
An evoker of Naurmaethor the Red and one of his most cunning generals, he is the main elf in charge of making sure that drownstone does not become a major impediment to their plans of conquest. The drownstone must be secured or destroyed, but he himself cannot be gone for too long without Naurmaethor's enemies making note, and he cannot dispense enough elves to handle the matter without drawing undue attention. Luckily some whispers made their way to his ears and he hired a certain magical trickster to aid him in reconnaissance. Ucdorn the Generous
A once powerful and fabulously wealthy merchant with a speckled reputation and an ironic name. He was infamously cutthroat in his business dealings, carefully orchestrating his leverage to ensure incredibly favorable deals, particularly with the dwarven government itself. Since becoming sundered he has fallen far from his glory days and he wishes to see a return to it along with many of his fellow sundered dwarves. The groundwork needs to be laid for Pyrsa to be reclaimed, and even these days his underground network of information is still active, and one particular mage of fortune is exactly the kind of asset he needs inside of Pyrsa. Allium Nighteyes
As we discussed, I think having some sort of partnership in crime with Allium would be very fun to have. Notable Characteristics:
Atash is tiny and a ratfolk, and he rides a capybara. A pretty bizarre sight in its own right.
Atash speaks in a very faint whisper, and very slowly (see drawback). Atash is very good at influencing animals, particularly rodents. Definitely favors animals over people. Atash can hold his breath for a ridiculous amount of time, up to 2 hours. He can also put himself in a state of suspended animation to appear dead. I can imagine some insane scenarios such as pretending to be a corpse in order to get carted past an otherwise nigh-impassible obstacle. Then there's other stuff like being tiny with a huge escape artist bonus. I'd love to do some infiltration stuff that would be unthinkable for other builds. |
