Suggested Characteristics
City Rats are bold and witty. They prefer to avoid confrontation as they see it as useless. Yet when provoked they have a short temper. Don't rely on a city rat to fully complete a job. They are used to working solo and may end up wandering off while on post. This a lot of times can lead to good things, as they may have met an NPC whom contains vital campaign information. While generally flaky, they have an incredible ability to network with locals, especially local criminals.
Trade your crime rat feature for an advantage in musical prowess. Instead of spending your night lurking the streets you entertained in the deep dimly lit inns of Dir Lodhar. You will not be able to network with local crime syndicates. Your musical ability will gather the attention of local malefactors. These individuals may be keen on helping you along your campaign. They may carry vital information needed to proceed. You also have a lower risk of getting into bar fights, and will generally make good friends with local bar goers.
