Unique, as far as I can tell, for the fact that the boy has no special powers or mechanical prodigy or really any skills of any use to anybody aside from being sneaky and a thief. He's an orphan, it's not like they have schools.

I want to bring that down to 20%. That's probably a good benchmark for a daily blog.

I once played a dwarven thief by the name of Gom Derber, Adventurer Extraordinaire. His highest ability score was 11 Constitution. He survived by his wits and audacious claims.
ReplyDeleteI like characters that are just normal folk. I just finished a story about a pair of blacksmiths in a war-torn city - rather than writing about the warlord and the insurgent prince. Normal people have a certain je-ne-sais-quoi I guess.
I had a character in a high school superhero setting called The Everyman. He used the hall pass stick as his weapon and his power was ridiculous luck (He never missed!)
ReplyDeleteThis is more focused on space stowaways, though. My extensive SF reading has revealed two things: If the space stowaway is a boy, he's got the Power of Tech. If the space stowaway is a girl, she'll have the Power of Heart. Often includes a helpful robot/cute creature.
