"Being a pathfinder pays your bills? Really? It just funds gearing up for the next expedition for me. Running my shoe shope is what pays my bills."

Grand Lodge 1/5

While many of the scenarios I've played so far start off being neutral or otherwise unheroic, it seems a common theme that things go FUBAR and the party has to step up and become the Big Heroes of the situation. Among the Living is a prime example of this. Let Bygones Be is another good example of a simple task becoming a heroic endeavor. That said...

The Pathfinder Society doesn't exactly pay me a retainer. They pay me a reward for any artifacts I bring back from expeditions, true. But that's only when I go on an expedition. My main income source is selling boots to travelers. Verified pathfinders do naturally get a discount in my store, of course.

1. Why are you a Pathfinder?

To be honest, I became a pathfinder to keep an eye on my brother Kahel. He's always getting in trouble. And never learned the value of an honest day's work. Always has his nose stuck in a book, you see. So someone has to keep the fool alive.

2. Do you have a name and surname that is not ripped straight out of existing Earth mythology or popular culture?

What is this 'earth mythology' you talk of? I can't say I ever heard of such a thing. My surname comes from my profession. I'm a cobbler, which should tell you everything about how I make a living. I run a shope called Traveling Sole in Absalom. Stop in sometime, Pathfinders get a twenty percent discount if they can produce a wayfinder.

3. Which nation did you grow up in? How did this nation influence you?
None, really. The folks traveled around a lot. Not sure where mom and dad originally came from. But they found me on the road.

4. What do you look like? What are your wearing? How does this vary when you’re stalking through forests, sewers, deserts or in glittering cities?

Well, I can usually be found wearing my work cloths. I am a cobbler, you know. I've got this hat I'm rather fond of though. It nicely hides my hair. Feathers for hair can be upsetting to some people. But when I'm on the road I like to wear something sturdier and more travel worthy underneath my armor.

5. What do you love? (Treasure and experience doesn’t count)

Family's big to me. Someday I'd like to learn who my birth parents were. But there's no rush. There is this cute red head who comes by my shop now and then. Wait, what do you mean that's Kahel?

6. What do you hate? (Unclear and irritating darkness level rules don’t count)

Thieves. Can't stand them. Instead of putting in the time and effort to in an honest trade, they'd rather take what others have earned. They're parasites on society.

7. Which other Pathfinders (PCs) do you rely on for teamwork, survival and butt-kicking? Do you have a bro? a mentor? a father figure? maybe a rival?

You know, I'm not sure how to answer this. The Pathfinders have asked me to head out twice now. But each time it was with different people. They all seemed nice enough. Although that lizard guy wasn't the sharpest tool in the shop. If you know what I mean.

8. How does your race influence your views? Are you a stereotype of a certain race? How are you different from most humans/elves/gnomes/orcs/tengu?

I've always had family around. But we've moved so much. And I'm not like the rest of my family. I never really felt like I fit in. You know? It's one reason I'd like to know who my birth parents were.

9. What are you afraid of? Do you have any phobias or worries?

There's many things that scare me. The price of leather going up, taxes becoming too high, my family getting killed. Too many to really count off. The thing is though, you can't let fear rule your life.

10. What is your most treasured possession?

My family, of course. Why do you ask?

The PFS setting is fairly good, although I have seen a few options slip through the cracks here and there.
I find it to be mostly accurate, as well. Only problem I am currently having with it is that it keeps telling me my Ranger's Dire Rat animal companion isn't legal for PFS.

That's okay, it keeps telling me my race isn't legal. But I have the convention boon to be an aasimar.
