Phantom Thief of The Abyss
Rafiq
• Age: 25
• Species: Ratatoskr
• Weapons: "...uh, I'm not trying to hurt anyone out here man. That all sounds pretty intense, definitely not my style." • Species Traits: The Ratatoskr species is known for many things, such as living underground, going unnoticed by the general populace, stealing food from above to stay alive, and the Plague. They didn't actually spread the Plague, just a nasty rumor started by some king or another to divert blame from his own negligence. In any case, the Ratatoskr species is most famous for staying unnoticed, this is achieved by their ability to turn invisible and erase their presence from the world in every sense, leaving neither sound nor smell as they move throughout the world. They are also incredibly flexible, able to contort and squeeze their bodies through openings that no mortal being should be able to with relative ease.
• Special Abilities: Spacial Magic is a fine art, one that can be incredibly destructive and tear apart the fabric of reality in a powerful sorcerer's hands. Rafiq, is not a powerful Sorcerer. Rafiq is a thief who picked up magic because it came in handy. Rafiq learned spacial magic to do two things, alter the size of stuff they stole to carry it out easier, and alter the size of themselves to get out of tight spaces easier. Only way into a heavily guarded castle is a mousehole, no problem for Rafiq! Gotta break down a large wall because you got caught snagging the holy chalice a saint drank from, bust down that wall with a big shoulder tackle! It's not really meant for combat use, but Rafiq could probably figure something out if they really had to.
• Inventory: The all important tools of the trade. Lockpicking set, glass cutter, ball bearings, grease, rope, Rafiq has been planning their breakout of the Abyss for years now so they've had plenty of time to gather together the important things for a breakout.
• Background: "Alright listen, this has all been a total misunderstanding. Yes, I was stealing the crown off of the king's head, yes I kinda dropped it and sent him into a coma, but that was totally not my fault! This guard guy, he was swinging right at me with his sword, if I hadn't dropped that crown I would've been chopped in two! Really now, you should be blaming the guard for sending the king into a coma, I barely did anything wrong. What? Ok yeah, I stole a lot of other stuff, but come on man, rats gotta eat! You can't expect me to live off the table scraps of some plague ridden peasant who doesn't even know what bathing is! What am I gonna do if I ever get out of here? Probably go back to stealing stuff, I don't have any particular grudge against humans. I just wanna live the good life ya know? Would I kill them?! Gods, of course I'm not gonna kill the humans! I steal from them, why would I kill the people I steal from!? I would just run out of people to steal from if I did that!"
