Devils of the Slate, a Dyomi tale

I gotta make a second post at some point too

Devils of the Slate, a Dyomi tale

Viktor Morgan walks down a dimly lit dark back alleyway, in pursuit of a man who had stolen a pocket watch, a watch once belonging to his father. He had tracked the man down on a tip from a local street vendor who had seen the man several times, passing his stall and playing with the watch each time. The watch itself never worked and was more a sentimental piece, as it was all Viktor had left of his father. And he was determined to get it back at all costs.

The one thing Viktor always wondered about the watch was what was the design that was carved into the case. It was the symbol of the PitVipers, the coiled rattlesnake. Hi father always said that he stole the watch from a watch maker, but Viktor knew there had to be more to the story.

Following the tip, Viktor made his way down the dark alley, to what seemed like a dead end, only to find a small protrusion in the alley wall, which to the untrained eye would look like just part of the wall, but as Viktor could tell, some by sight and more by feeling, he noticed that it was a door set into the alley wall. He tried to push on it, but it didn't budge. Feeling around, he as able to make out a panel, which he assumed slid open enough for someone to look through and find out who was at the door. Viktor clenched his fits and pounded the door. He didn't normally do this, but seeing as there was nothing else around, he figured the only way to get in was to lie to the doorman and somehow slip into the shadows once he was inside.

As expected, the panel on the door slid open and a pair of beady eyes look him up and down. "What do you want?" The voice was deep and raspy. "I'm here to see a guy about a job." This was partially true as Viktor was here for the guy who had stolen the watch, but he wasn't looking for a job, at least not at the particular moment. "Who sent you?" The voice sounded suspicious. Viktor paused a moment and had to come up with something quick. "James, something or other, didn't catch his last name. Spoke to him at the tavern just up the road. Said if I needed work he had a job for a "guy like me" and told me to seek out a door in the back of this alley." The eyes widened and the panel slid closed. Viktor could hear some rustling and the door opened inward.

"Please step inside. We may have some use for you." Viktor stepped inside and the door closed behind him. It was dim and dark in the hallway behind the door, perfect for him to blend in the shadows and slip way. "Follow me." Viktor followed behind close, but not too close. He was inside now and he could feel like there was something else going on here, more than just him taking back the watch. Viktor kept following down the narrow hallway, but noticed it turned off to the right and thats when he made his move, slowly and quietly slipping away down the hallway, as the doorman ket on walking straight.

The Thief

The Thief

Name: Viktor Morgan
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Personality: Viktor is usually a sly sneaky fellow, that likes to work alone, but has been seen in group settings on occasion. He tends to be on the quiet side and kept to himself, but for a bit of coin, he will take a few jobs if ofered.

Bio: Born in the slums of the slate, sticken to a life of poverty, Viktor and his parents lived on the streets as beggars, homeless for most of his child life. He was an adventurous kid, that went exploring the city at a young age, finding all the hiding spots and special places. His source of food and necessities was procured in the form of stealing, by the hand of his father, who went out one night to acquire goods for the family, but never returned.(He slipped up on a job and was caught and tortured to death by a local gang.)

When his father never returned, Viktor took it upon himself to become the sole provider for him and his mother. He took to the art of being a thief and began traversing the shadows to loot and pick the pockets of local merchants and peddlers. Viktor provided not much, but enough to get by. Unfortunately it wasn't enough and his mother became deathly ill, stricken with disease. She passed not long after she became ill. Viktor was all alone. He needed more of a way to make coin and get by.

Viktor did find a few jobs here and there, though still nothing concrete as far as work went. He still lives in the slums and on the streets, mostly working either in the shadows or at night.

Equipment: A lockpick set and a small dagger/knife kept in his boot.

Appearance

Gangs of Dyomi

Alright if anyone doesn't mind I'll put up the OOC , we can get the inventor later

@Jasper19

yes please do. I would like to create a character and get things going. :)

Gangs of Dyomi

@Jasper19 alright. I'll take that role. This seems pretty interesting.

Gangs of Dyomi

I would like to join and be The Thief, if that role is still available. This reminds me of that game The Sinking City. Seems like similar setting without the Lovecraft type characters.
