About Gyn Whistler
Gyn (pronounced like the second syllable of the word "bargain") is my tentative character for a potential Against the Aeon Throne campaign. He was briefly in one, but the GM dropped the campaign after a few encounters due to time constraints.
Background & Connection:
A middle-aged ysoki, Gyn originated from the dusty caravans that wander the Akitonian plains, but he's since seen much of the Pact Worlds. Over the past few years, Gyn has worked with a variety of outfits that specialize in wilderness expeditions, taking clients with cash to burn into the more dangerous parts of the system, tracking everything from rare game to alien ruins. Although he markets his survival skills first and foremost, those familiar with him know that Gyn is one of the best field cooks in the business, able to craft exquisite and nuanced meals from whatever he could find. Although Gyn enjoyed this work, the regular returns to civilization chafed him, as he missed the tight-knit feeling of a self-sufficient group with a singular goal.
It was on one of these expeditions that Gyn first met Cedona, an android scholar. Although she kept her goals close to her chest, Gyn enjoyed conversing with her, and she was amused by the ysoki's approach to the mixture of rough living and fine dining. A few years later, Gyn received an invite from Cedona to visit her in the new colony of Nakondis. Hoping a job offer lay in wait, he eagerly booked the next ship to the remote planet, excited to see what lay in store.

SPECIAL ABILITIES ------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheek Pouches (Ex):
Gyn can store up to 1 cubic foot of items weighing up to 1 bulk in total in his cheek pouches, and he can transfer a single object between hand and cheek as a swift action. Gyn can disgorge the entire contents of his pouch onto the ground in his square as a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Moxie (Ex):
Gyn is scrappy and nimble even when the odds are against him. He can stand from prone as a swift action. Additionally, when off-kilter, he does not take the normal penalties to attacks or gain the flat-footed condition. When attempting an Acrobatics check to tumble through the space of an opponent at least one size category larger than himself, Gyn receives a +5 racial bonus to the check.
Trick Attack (Ex):
Gyn can trick or startle a foe and then attack when she drops her guard. As a full action, he can move up to his speed. Whether or not he moved, Gyn can then make an attack with a melee weapon with the operative special property or with any small arm. Just before making his attack, he may attempt a Bluff, Intimidate, Stealth, or Survival check with a DC equal to 20 + his target’s CR. If he succeeds at the check, he deals 1d4 additional damage and the target is flat-footed. Gyn can’t use this ability with a weapon that has the unwieldy special property or that requires a full action to make a single attack.
