Seymour "Cloak" Tiddlywinks
From Davenrathh
(played by Sean)Seymour "Cloak" Tiddlywinks, is a Gnome rogue that left his family and clan as a youngling with the promis of bringing back great treasures from the big cities. What he did not realize was that his charm would not be enough to make this happen. He found himself quickly trampled by the big world of the tall ones, and found very few of his own kind of go to for assitence. So his ideas and goals changed slightly. Instead of trying to rent out a room in a lodge, he would sneak into a orphanage at night, cover himself in tattered clothes and sleep as one of the parentless children. He would spend his days in dark corners of bars and shops, eating food that people were too drunk to remember they ordered, or in the cubbards and closets of high end stores stealing trinkets to small to be missed until specifically looked for. He became an adept Jewlery theif and worked the shops so well that some store owners would move across town swearing that their district was haunted. He develloped many scams that played to his strengths, his charm and cunning. For example, he would steal rich families' dogs, bring them to a smaller town and sell them as either riding dogs or loyal pets for other rich families (sometimes he would even sell new dogs to the families he stole from). These scams were the embodyment of his new way of looking at the world: no one was going to help him, so he was going to help himself. The one problem Cloak has always had is he is not very strong, even for gnomes, that and he is not good at seeing possible danger, so he finds himself in over his head more often then not.
Seymour only came to the city of Dalton 3 months ago, having hidden in a crate of imported goods, orginally intented for The Elvish lands but was first captured by a band of theives and then sold to a local noble man, Seymour was lucky enough that no one had looked in the crate during the whole ordeal. He escaped from his hiding place before he could be captured and has spent two months of his life here in Dalton, secretely living in the crawlspace of this nobleman's house, where consequently he found quite an amount of contraband that he intended to sell. Unfortunately the noble man's family, in the third month bought a very cunning dog who quickly smelled that someone else was living with them and proceeded to hunt down and chase out poor Tiddlywinks.
So now Cloak finds himself, once again, on the streets with only his short sword, a dagger, the clothes on his back, and his thieves tools.
Quick sketch: Cloak is the height of an average gnome, but is thinner and ganglier than most,which, combined with his head of shaggy dirty blonde hair, gives him the look of an undefed child. He may actually pass off for a child, except he keeps well groomed set of mutton chops on his face. His skin is paler then most gnomes and his eyes are a brilliant blue
- I've decided that over his years on the street Cloak haspicked up a pretty bad drug addiction. So while alot of his stealing is intended to be for wealth, most of it ends up just feeding his problem
