So i recently saw the movie Zootopia, and it was great, and i fell in love with the character Nick Wilde, a fox with way too much bluff for his own good :P
So i felt a little inspired and i thought that maybe i could make something similar in Pathfinder for the next game i get into.
The basic concept mechanically is a Kitsune Mesmerist with Realistic Likeness and VMC Bard.
The fluff:
When he was young he showed an aptitude for Bardic Magic and began travelling Minkai, wherever he went he would heal the wounded and play his music on a family heirloom of an instrument, but inevitably eventually something valuable would disappear or someone would go missing and the villagers would blame the fox-man, forcing him to flee the town and move on to the next. Over time he began to grow more and more saddened by the villagers quickness to blame him for every problem that came their way, until one day he was cornered by a few bar patrons and beat up over supposedly stealing the leader's prized dagger. As the travelling minstrel lay bloodied on the ground he watched them snap his instrument to pieces before leaving him on the ground bruised and in pain. That was the day he decided that if the world saw him as a thief and a liar, it would be less work to stop trying to prove it wrong. Over time his musical magic began to slowly lose it's song and eventually lost all components whatsoever, manifesting from pure force of will. Meanwhile his tongue became ever sharper and his fingers lighter. Eventually he had overstayed his welcome in Minkai and chartered passage with a convoy over the Crown of the World into the continent of Avistan, a place ripe with opportunities for gain.
The character would be silver-tongued and light-fingered, a good person at heart but cynical and jaded enough that he is Neutral as opposed to full on Good.
bump, does anybody have any ideas or thoughts about the fluff or the crunch of this idea?
