@GM Niles, not sure what you're suggesting. If there is no ratfolk community in Taldor, I can adjust the backstory. What little I know suggests that interplanetary portals are rare (and thus unlikely to be used by itinerant beer salesrats). I see three possible adjustments to the backstory -- in decreasing order of probability: a) Taldor's ratfolk community is tiny, oppressed, and largely in hiding.
If any of those are better than the existing backstory, I'll be glad to update it.
Character sheet in the profile. Backstory:
Wikwik Winterborn was raised in the ratfolk warren in the bustling town (Trait:Child of the Streets) of Zimar to a family of brewers (Profession:Brewer) where he demonstrated a knack for brewing innovative and tasty ales (Craft:Alchemy). Always a keen-eyed observer (Perception), he was fascinated by gadgets (Use Magic Device), which he frequently kept hidden up his sleeve (Sleight of Hand). He felt an affinity for cold (Trait:Northern Ancestry) which frequently found him spending hours in the cold storage rooms. Upon his 15th birthday, he was given a portable brewer's kit and a crash course in Diplomacy ("Son, you're representing the warren. Don't be a jerk.") and sent off to drum up sales in the neighboring communities. He has spent the better part of a year doing so (Knowledge:Local) with moderate success. He wears a signet ring on his right hand with his family seal, which he uses with sealing wax when sending home notices of sales he has made. He has several small casks of samples ("Devil's Snot Gonna Get Ya Ale" and "Angel's Lament Bitter Lager" being particularly popular), which he generally keeps in his room at the inn when not needed. Wikwik is pretty happy being an ale salesman, and has never even considered the possibility of a riskier career choice. Still, those rumors of a mysterious wintry region are intriguing. It sounds like just the place to try out his newest creation: "leTitsNow Snow-Brewed Ale"...
