Bobwhite Rindherder: Difference between revisions

There's precious little to spare for the underclass that lives on [cityname's] streets. Here, Bobwhite found his size to be his biggest advantage, subsisting on meager provisions and keeping his head down. Over time, he turned these advantages into strengths, and found that he could weasel himself into places that other people could not. Gradually, he was able to make a bit more comfortable of an existence for himself, learning the ebbs and flows of city life, finding all the best nooks and crannies to shelter himself from danger, and keeping himself from standing out too much when bigger folk came around to show off their muscles. Ironically enough, all his effort to remain hidden did not remain unnoticed, and the sturdier, louder individuals would sometimes contract small jobs with him when they needed a subtler touch. He kept out of the underclass politics, and managed to keep a neutral reputation as a freelancer valuable enough to keep around, but not so valuable that he needed to be kept away from the competition. It's this way that he achieved his most prized possession: While tasked to steal a bauble from a traveling hedge mage, he discovered the mage's book of tricks, which he's since studied in every ounce of spare time he has available. He has had no breakthroughs, yet, but he always insists that he's just on the verge of becoming a wizard in his own right.
