Urchin

Urchin Background

The life of the urchin was a difficult and frightening one. You hardly remember your parents (if they really were your parents) and almost all you recall from your childhood is being hungry and cold.

However, you somehow managed to survive. In a world that gave you nothing and left you for dead, you eeked out an existence. In fact, somehow, you excelled.

To survive, you became quite adept in the use of all types of bladed weapons, and your ability to fight grew. Though occasionally you had to resort to a club or other implement to defend yourself, a strong, sharp blade felt most comfortable within your grasp.

Of course, now and again, you had to sneak away from the law, an all too wary mark, or someone stronger than you that was giving chase. Your ability to slip away was as vital to your survival as your ability to fight.
