BackgroundMthunzi's early life is little more than a haze of vague memories: a beautiful smiling face (perhaps his mother), mixed with shouting (a male voice, his father?), pain and fear... and then rejection. He remembers well the struggles as a boy in the city of Koumbi, stealing for food, running for his life, and the comradeship of this first street gang. The streets taught him well, how to take what he needed, how to fight, how to survive.
Membership of a small time criminal gang was a natural progression for the lithe and canny young Mthunzi, and he spent many years robbing and burgling at the behest of the gang leader. For the most part this suited him, and taking from the wealthy, those who had more than they needed was easy. But taking from the poor, those just getting by, did not sit well with him. It was on one such job that he lost his taste for this work and as a result was caught by the local militia, and incarcerated in the Koumbi goal.
Six long years were spent in hardship, each day a struggle for survival amongst the most brutal criminals in the city, and Mthunzi grew from a boy into a man. Upon his release he turned from his criminal ways and sought honest work, finding it as a house guard in a local brothel. For 10 years, Mthunzi put his brawling skills to use, throwing rowdy customers out into the street, but then the brothel was burned to the ground, and so he set to wandering.
Finding country folk to be me far more gullible than the shrewd and untrusting city dwellers Mthunzi travelled the land running con trick after con trick. Where he could he would target the wealthier folk and on occasion his dishonesty was revealed and he had to pack up and leave quickly..
NotesMthunzi is based on the Assassin profession, but he is much more of a rogue, not so much of a killer. When I did a background roll it came up with Marijah Assassin which just doesn't fit my idea for him, so I went with the above as I'd set that our briefly earlier on.
I have changed the Assassin starter weapons slighty:
- The staff has been dropped as this seems to be a cumbersome weapon for a thief
- The sword is an Ida, one type of African sword
- A crossbow doesn't fit my idea for Mthunzi, so I changed it to a sling
I have listed Padded Armour, although I don't know if this fits the setting, and I've not picked any languages, I'll need your guidance on that.
The rolls I made are here:
