The vibrantly orange hair sticking out from underneath Scrimble’s green wide-brimmed hat clashes garishly with the comparatively muted light blue of his skin. His clothes, comprising a rainbow of colors having been seemingly thrown together, fit poorly as if designed for a body much larger than himself. His large eyes are a dark purple, one of which is constantly hidden behind a bright yellow eye-patch (which eye is covered varies, as he’s fond of switching it back and forth).

Scrimble is ambitious, and is not afraid to lie, cheat, or steal if it will further his goals. Having grown up as a slave under a cruel master, he has a tendency to disregard the wishes of most authority figures under the assumption that they’re all just like his previous master. Despite this blatant disrespect for authority, he’s loyal to a fault for anybody with whom he feels the pull of kinship and shared experience. His natural talent at taming and training animals led to his previous master forcing him to care for (and perform with) a variety of (generally) dangerous creatures.

[Ambition] – Scrimble’s goal is to seek a new life, attaining wealth, fame, and power by starting his own circus.
[Empathic] – Scrimble is prone to putting himself at great inconvenience if it means bringing a smile to somebody with whom he can relate (orphans, slaves, beggars, etc.).
[Rebellious] – Scrimble hates being told to what to do by anybody that assumes authority over him, and has a tendency to do the exact opposite.
[Amoral] – Scrimble doesn’t have a strong sense of “Right” and “Wrong”, and is unmoved by pleas of “doing what’s right” (although he’s not above making the same impassioned argument, if he feels it will further his cause).
[Animal Lover] – Regardless of the animal, Scrimble’s heart bleeds to see one suffer.

Scrimble’s mother (a gnome prostitute) led him to believe that he was the illegitimate child of an unknown member of House Jeggare… until the Jeggare’s found out about the “gnomish whore’s son” who was attempting to use their name and sold him into slavery (the fate of his mother is unknown, but probably not pleasant). His value as a young, gnomish slave saw that he exchanged hands a number of times, before finally landing in the “care” of Paul Tiberius Barnabus, the owner and operator of P.T. Barnabus & Stanley Circus. The little gnome found escape from the harsh reality of slavery that was his life under the big top, and quickly grew close with his fellow performers and the caged animals. Once his natural talent and ability to bond with the circus animals was brought to the attention of Barnabus, his career (as it were) as a circus performer was assured.

Until one day, he overheard Barnabus discussing an invitation he had received to the Stolen Lands. Seizing this opportunity, Scrimble forged himself a copy of the invitation, gathered some of his closest friends; a monkey named “Frederick”, a squirrel named “Lucy”, and a Capybara by the name of “Winston”); stole a small bag of gold from Barnabus, and made for the Guildhall hoping to be well on his way to the Stolen Lands and his new life before Barnabus gets around to accepting the invitation himself.
