Kaerwyd Leafbrush - Gnome Thief

Race: Forest Gnome   Class: Rogue - Arcane trickster   Age: 94 years, young adult's age in gnome's lifetime   Arcane trickster Kaerwyd Leafbrush is a jolly gnome with bright intelligent eyes and a cunning smile. He doesn't pick fights with strangers, but he might fool people with a harmless illusion tricks. Drink, music and game of dice at the tavern are the usual enjoyment for Kaerwyd, while talks of grand heists, tricky traps and magical items interest him greatly.    Kaerwyd has extensive career as a thief and a pickpocket in Fourways bustling city state. Additionally he also works an a honest trap expert in dungeon crews searching for arcane wonders. Among thieves and dungeon delvers the bragging rights for stealing a marvelous price from a cocky lord or magical jewel swiped from dangerous dungeon are more important for this gnome thief than just the coin earned.   Politics is not Kaerwyd's favorite topic, but BE3112 during the great war Fourways' navy building and hacking of his birth home, the great forest of South river banks sure left sour taste in his and other forest gnomes' mouths. Harsh reality forced gnomes to adapt, so most of them moved to Fourways' Golden Carnival as performers and some became thieves like Kaerwyd. Over decade later Merchant King Fransisco is killed and rumors among thieves told that the assassin used illusion magic. No-one actually suspected forest gnome's involvement, but Kaerwyd knew that one woman from his tribe, Sanra Sharpthorn had the motive, means and time to be part of that assassination. Kaerwyd and Sanra have bump heads with each other dozen times robbing the same mansions and dungeons (the score is 5-7 for Santra). While they have a playful rivalry, she can be extremely ruthless and heartless killer of humans and individuals with ill-intents. Kaerwyd would love Santra, if she wouldn't be so dangerous, and willing to cross lines that he wouldn't dare.   Personal Trait Never tell me the odds. The best way to get me to do something is to tell me I can't do it. There can't be anything that I can't steal or get caught trying. Bigger the score, the more enthusiastic I will be.   Ideal Charity. I steal from the greedy and even out twisted corruption in the poorer kingdom; "I call it an investment for the future". Also, some magic items belongs in more responsible hands   Bond When pulling a big robbery heist or scheme, more the merrier. Forest gnomes are known to have their pals backs and Kaerwyd tend to keep trust of his company across tougher times   Flaw "It is the curiosity what kills the cat." Kaerwyd can't shake the urge to have a closer look at curious items hanging in the open, peek behind a massive closed door, or read those mysteries scrolls. A thief must know what items are worth stealing and what are not
