Hal Catapult

Bombastic and reckless, Hal Catapult wouldn't have lasted very long as a pirate on the Great Sea if it wasn't for one unusual trait. Due to a strange quirk of fate, the tabaxi pirate has nine lives.
Stories circulate about the seedier dockside hangouts of the charmed tabaxi who has come out of impossible situations time and time again, miraculously unscathed. Hal tries his best to keep the fact of his multiple lives as secret--the better to further his own leged--and because he isn't sure how many he actually has left.

Character Traits

Personality Trait. I like a job well done, especially if I can convince someone else to do it.
Ideal. Freedom. The sea is freedom — the freedom to go anywhere and do anything. (Chaotic)
Bond. The ship is most important — crewmates and captains come and go.
Flaw. I can’t help but pocket loose coins and other trinkets I come across.

What's This? Hal can use his tail to pilfer one tiny object from someone's pockets, off a table, etc. When he does so, he must succeed on a Sleight of Hand check. He makes this check with advantage.
