Panabon Wrec
The Masked Acrobat
OC created by John M.
The Magnificent Panabon Wrec (a.k.a. Pocryn the Mysterious)
“Well, I don’t live far. What could another drink hurt?” Panabon said cheerily, emboldened by the drink coursing through their system. Their face flashed with light the more they drank as their eyebrows became more expressive.
“And you’re right,” Panabon said after a thoughtful moment. “I could do much better than just grading other peoples jewels. It’s true! There are great gnomes! Gnomes of consequence!” Panabon said, their grin widening. “Like my hero.”
They’d come to Panabon and offered a mask. They’d get to join an elite, secret group of movers and shakers that were accruing wealth. They wouldn’t have to be limited by what the dragonborn would give them. And, frankly, coming up on 21- it would be nice to be your own boss. Not that Panabon knew what they wanted to do in life, but having options to find out. That would be sweet.
And Panabon was pretty charismatic, if they did say so themselves. “Alright, I’ll do it! Just a few jewels. Nobody will even miss them.”

Personal history
Gnomes aren’t really a familial bunch. Sure, by honor of being approximately the same height, gnomes look like a really coordinated bunch- but not so much in at least Panabon’s experience. Striking out wasn’t a big deal after a certain age. And in a country where you’re almost a minority species, there’s no point in really hanging around if it’s not going to offer much in the way of power or protection.
Plus, who wants to live in a farmland forever?
Panabon set out to find their fortune- a bright eyed, beautiful, and gullible little gnome of 18. Quick with hands and good at appraisal, they found middle class work pretty easily and would’ve settled into middle class life had they not been left holding the bag, rightly accused of embezzlement.
It was embarrassing but Panabon wasn’t going to dwell on the accusations. Though they were going to learn to use a blade so if they ever saw one of those porcelain mask wearing seducers again- they were going to give them what for. Yes. It wasn’t going to consume them.
Mostly.
But reputation can proceed oneself and if one can’t say why they left their last job, a new one can be hard to find. Luckily for Panabon, they’ve always been entrepreneurial minded. And there’s always extra work for the quick of hand in Palacuun. If you know where to work and you don’t mind- bending- a few rules to get what you want. That’s all.
After all, it’s not Panabon who is the thief. The thief Pocryn doesn’t have jeweled eyebrows that anyone has ever seen. Really.

Mental Trauma
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Panabon stabs a guy but the guy doesn’t have hands and has a really long tongue. That’s traumatic honestly!
Oh! and also the shame of having to move in disgrace to a place where nobody knows you.
With somebody that hates you.
"Hate" is a strong word...
Intellectual Characteristics
Smart but with too much hubris and joie de vivre hiding an ability to think of longer term consequences for actions.
Morality & Philosophy
Look, rules aren’t bad. Not inherently. But sometimes to survive, you have to do things other people won’t do. Plus, bad people sometimes need to get stabbed. It’s not that I... er... Panabon actively goes seeking things like that. People have slippery wallets. Some people get on the wrong side of certain thieves and thieving guilds. It’s nobody’s fault really. Things just happen!
Taboos
Panabon is open to a lot of things in life.
Exception (to consent): Pocryn definitely stabs.
Some people don't like that. Oh, well!
(but honestly, that should go in their Taboo section.)
Everything is worth trying once (with consent)!

Virtues & Personality perks
Not feeling good about leaving innocent folks (that I may or may not have tricked) to rot in jail. That comes from a virtue, right?
Vices & Personality flaws
Probably would leave innocent folks (that I may or may not have tricked) to rot in jail. (I didn't the last time... which was the only time... but I probably would)
I'd put someone in a compromising position to get what I want.
Personality Quirks
Sometimes... my hands just jump into pockets that don't belong to me.
Hygiene
I know what soap is.
Smelly performers don't make coin!

Lately it's been Meilfron mi Fromnae but honestly wouldn't it be better if we had our own gnome god?
Social Aptitude
Mannerisms
Can be a little fidgety, especially if forced to sit in one place for too long.

No pets, but can probably tinker some up?
Is 'stabbing' a hobby?

Speech
A mix of low and high brow. For the crowds. Classy gets cashy.
Wealth & Financial state
Win some, lose some. Harder in the winters, pockets get fat in the spring and summer...
