Milo Goodleaf
Milo Goodleaf is average size for a halfling, meaning he barely comes to the waist of an adult human. He has a quick wit, sharp eyes, and an even sharper tongue. He claims to be a treasure hunter and adventurer for hire, and has a tendency to simply appear and disappear without anyone noticing. He has a soft spot for children, and often entertains them with stories, acrobatic antics, juggling, or sleight of hand tricks. Milo wields a short blade with amazing speed and grace, and he rarely misses with a thrown dagger or hand crossbow.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Truth of the matter is, Milo Goodleaf is a fiction. There was once a halfling who became a charlatan and a con artist; neither cruel nor malicious, but entirely selfish and thoughtless. After years of betraying the trust of his community, his reputation was ruined. Friendless and disowned by his family, he was driven from his home with only a few meagre possessions.
He wandered a few miles or more in a daze, eventually stopping at the edge of a small, tranquil lake. After many hours of soul searching, he resolved that his life had to end. At that moment, one halfling died, and Milo Goodleaf was born. Milo is kind and caring. He has an eye for treasure, but never at the expense of the welfare of others. Milo left that beach and started his career as an adventurer.
Morality & Philosophy
I am always calm, no matter the situation. I never let my emotions control me.
There’s no good in pretending to be something I’m not.
Laws have their place as a means of promoting good, but corrupted laws easily masquerade as virtue. I tend to be suspicious of anyone single-mindedly focused on a code, whether it’s someone else’s philosophy or their own sense of virtue.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
Vices & Personality flaws
I like to act alone and keep people guessing.
I am a little too confident in my skills.
Social
Contacts & Relations
I like Iain. He has no pretensions, no façade; there’s just genuine compassion. He’s a pure soul.
Leo just doesn’t give up, and ego doesn’t seem to motivate him. He’s a good person.
Religious Views
I understand that someone looking for a purpose in life might find devotion to a god appealing, but with oaths and religion comes dogma, and dogma limits your options.
Like most halflings, I grew up with the stories of the noble trickster Brandobaris, and from a certain perspective you might say I learned the wrong lessons from those in my youth; became a little too clever for my own good. You could also say I surrendered to the fates when I left home, to be punished for my misdeeds at the whim of the gods. A person of faith might conclude Tymora smiled on me and led me to a life where I can do good and protect others. You might even think I owe her a debt for that, if that’s what you want to believe.
