[sblock=Appearance]Twist is a small male with a petite build. Larger than a halfling, about the height of a dwarf, Twist has short legs, a long slender torso, slim shoulders, and wiry forearms. His eyes are black and beady, seeing everything. Scraggly tufts of unkept whisker-like dark facial hair dot Twist's cheeks and chin. Twist's mouth and nose, which works overtime, very nearly resemble those of a rodent. Despite Twist's unappealing physical attributes, the young man comports himself quietly, with a marked curiosity about his person. A ready smile doesn't meet his eyes, however.[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Twist is ratfolk, and as a member of ratfolk society is fluent in life both above and beneath the city of Torch. Slow to trust and twitchy, Twist uses a disguise when venturing aboveground into Torch or when conducting business with races other than ratfolk. Once Twist's trust is gained, however, he is a loyal friend for life.
Twist is concerned for Khonnir Baine, a wizard archaeologist interested in the intricate ruins beneath Torch. Twist met Khonnir three years ago, when Twist was a twelve-year-old ratling climbing sewer tunnels. Khonnir, who had a badly wrenched knee after stumbling on a loose sewer brick, tempted Twist with a "shiny," a tangled bit of metal warped into a wristband. Twist, always fascinated by shiny things, was unable to resist the tidbit, and agreed to help Khonnir in exchange for the metal wristband. Since then, the two have struck up a friendship. Twist occasionally brings Khonnir "shiny" bits from the sewers, and Khonnir gives Twist advice on where to look for new objects. In a way, Twist has become Khonnir's scout.
Khonnir is missing, however, and has been for a week. Twist hadn't realized Khonnir was absent until just this morning, when Twist brought a bit of what looks like it might be a copper coil to Khonnir. With Khonnir gone, Twist has no one to buy the shiny bits Twist finds in the sewers. More than that, however, Twist has realized that he'll sorely miss Khonnir's unassuming friendship if the human wizard does not return. Not many humans give ratfolk the time of day in Torch, making Khonnir a valuable ally. Bent on finding Khonnir, Twist ventures above ground in his best disguise, all with the aim of finding out where on earth the wizard has gone off to.[/sblock]
