OOC 1
Woohoo, we're here :D
Now seeing the expanded background info, I've given a little more thought to my character! Veracity is a young tiefling woman who has had a hard life in the caldera. She was orphaned at the age of four when her elderly grandfather worked himself to death at a JP textile mill, and she was conscripted to work as a chimneysweep. Tiefling children were sought-after for chimneysweep work, because not only were they small enough to shimmy down narrow flues, but they could also survive heat that would kill children of most other races. It was a meager and cruel existence, and her only joy was sneaking into theaters to watch stage performances. She decided she wanted to be an actress and so would practice impersonating the many and varied people she'd overhear about her work in Coglinton as a way to pretend it be somebody else. It turned out she was pretty good at it. So good, in fact, that she discovered a knack for a sorcery of guile and trickery she came to refer to as 'the Cunning'.
By her early teens she quit chimneysweep work and fell in with a thieves' guild, leaving her birth name behind to take up the 'virtue' name of Veracity. The name was chosen ironically, because lies are an actress's trade and she puts them to good use in her ludicrous small-time con schemes. Though the schemes resulted in disaster more often than not, Baz Cinderhorn took a liking to her and mentored that clever resourcefulness into something useful before it got her killed. Now she's an angsty young woman with a talent for chicanery, a dislike for exploitative capitalism, and a fierce loyalty to her surrogate father, Baz.
That's my rambly character concept so far! Left the details vague to leave room for connections with other members of the Cinderhorn crew, which I would be happy to work on with y'all :) I'm kinda torn between Creation and Eloquence bard, and am also between Urchin and Charlatan for background.
