Ninja Special Abilities
No Trace +2: Survival DCs to track you are at +2, gain +2 to Stealth when you are stationary and not acting.
Light Steps (Ex): At 6th level, a ninja learns to move while barely touching the surface underneath her. As a full-round action, she can move up to twice her speed, ignoring difficult terrain. While moving in this way, any surface will support her, no matter how much she weighs. This allows her to move across water, lava, or even the thinnest tree branches. She must end her move on a surface that can support her normally. She cannot move across air in this way, nor can she walk up walls or other vertical surfaces. When moving in this way, she does not take damage from surfaces or hazards that react to being touched, such as lava or caltrops, nor does she need to make Acrobatics checks to avoid falling on slippery or rough surfaces. Finally, when using light steps, the ninja ignores any mechanical traps that use a location-based trigger.
Poison: Use You do not risk poisoning yourself accidentally while poisoning a weapon.
Sneak Attack: +3d6 if you flank your target or your target is flat-footed.
Uncanny Dodge:Retain Dex bonus to AC when flat-footed.

Ki Jump (Running Start): Jumping is always counted as being at a running start.
Ki Movement: A Ninja can spend 1 point to increase her speed by 20 feet for 1 round.
Ki Pool: You have a ki pool equal to 1/2 your monk level + your Charisma modifier.
Ki Stealth A ninja can spend 1 point from her ki pool to give herself a +4 insight bonus on Stealth skill checks for 1 round.
Smoke Bomb (Ex): This ability allows a ninja to throw a smoke bomb that creates a cloud of smoke with a 15-foot radius. This acts like the smoke from a smokestick. The ninja can center this smoke on herself, or throw the bomb as a ranged touch attack with a range of 20 feet. Using this ability is a standard action. Each use of this ability uses up 1 ki point.

Trait: Dual Talent (lose bonus feat, gain extra +2 to an attribute)

[Spoiler=Backstory]
Vaek grew up in Coran. While his parents were not rich, he did not go with out common comforts. All was well in his life, until the day his parents who on a business trip to Gumlat. The traveling merchants were attacked and overcome by brigands.

Vaek was 9 at the time. He was left alone to care for his younger brother Karvek. Karvek, had suffered a series illness that required the amputation of his left leg. Vaek, not equipped to care for himself let alone a younger brother. He began to steal from local merchants. As he grew of age, he was recruited into the thieve's guild. Initially, they thought that Vaek would be your typical street rat.

They soon realized that Vaek, had a mean streak in him and he had the uncanny knack of getting into the marks house and out with out being seen. When he kidnapped his first victim for a large ransom, the thieve's guild leaders decided to put Vaek's unique skill set to use. Always willing to kill the mark, if the ransom was not paid, he would honor his word if payment was received. He is very cold and calculated.

Being trained in the Ninjitsu arts, he thrived under the thrill of the hunt for a new victim. Not interested in the small targets. He uses most of his earnings to pay the clerics to help his brother who will always be lame. Having grown up in Coran, his network of assets and fences are wide, this includes societies elite as well as the poor. Always paying his informants well. Vaek cares very little about the government and their doings. He concentrates increasing his own personal wealth. He desires to become a politician so he can have control over people and steal from them in plain site.

Vaek came across a would be pick pocket who tried to steal from him. While he would normally slit the thieve's throat. Seeing it was a bald dwarf Sorad Dvorak, his laughter caused him to think otherwise. Always finding it funny that the dwarf is unable to grow a beard. Taking every opportunity to remind him of it. Vaek found Sorad to be very effective in a pinch. He brought him into the guild, if for no other reason then the constant reminder of the day laughter saved the dwarves life.

While not many would he consider his true friends, one that does fall within that category is Maeltheron Timmerond. a Elven rogue who specialized in range attacks. Perhaps the true bond is that like himself, Maeltheron has a sibling that he cares for. It was Maeltheron who introduced him to the pawnshop owners that he will occasionally fence his goods. Vaek and Maeltheron have worked on various jobs and their distinct approaches have been a nice compliment to getting the job done.

He works occasionally with Sicsivicus, he isn't sure what to make of him, he still remembers the day he picked up his dead body at the Wailing Spirits. Damned fool went and got himself killed ... by elves no less. Vaek felt he needed to be more discreet. He would tell him the best kind of find is one that doesn't require blood. Vicus as he tends to call him, really likes his blood. And you can only admire a man who does his job extremely well. But he has sensed their is a particular darkness around Vicus, he just can't put his thumb on it. And frankly he figures the less he knows the better.

His small group within the thieve's guild is known as the Black Feather. Representing, their ability for stealth and and leaving no trace that they were even their with the exception of a Black Feather, so the victim would know and fear who had stolen their goods and or abducted their loved one.

Having grown up in the city of Coran, knowing the people has greatly benefited his profits. His contacts are vast and ones he can trust ... to an extent. One of those is Dessa. She is a bartender in the tavern called Issust Hold. Dessa has been able to provide numerous underground contacts. Whenever, Vaek goes to meet her, he has always been disguised as a Tiefling fighter named Vekel.

Vaek is a 29 year old Human Ninja, He is remarkably handsome, and isn't afraid to use this to his advantage. His typical disguise is as follows. He is 5'8 185 pounds. Medium length burgundy hair, Hazel eyes. He is clean cut, typically has a small black ribbon woven into his hair. He is known to wear disguises to protect his true face. He carries an exotic weapon which is hidden. Outside of the thieve's guild he will often appear as a transient. He has found this is often the best way to obtain information when the "elite" of the city don't think anybody is listening.

Vaek is nearly always in disguise due to magic or more traditional means. So often, that many of the thieves guild don't even know his true appearance. He fears that his true identity appearance will become known and the authorities will be able to track him down, and worse yet, connect his brother Karvek to him. He wants people to love and fear him. He wants to be able to walk among the elite and be recognized as such, but knows he has to hide his darker side in such places.
