[MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] - sorry I haven't had a chance to put together that Warlock for you - it's been kind of a crazy week for me. If you still want it I can do it when I'm at my hotel tonight. If you decide to go with the monk, I can give you the basics right now based on a Monk character I built a couple of months ago (though I don't have my PHB handy so I'll have to post the list of skills and starting equipment later):
Monk
If you create a hybrid background from Sage (Astronomer), Sailor, and Amnesiac, you basically select 2 skill proficiencies, any combination of 2 tool proficiencies and/or languages, and one special feature (pick an existing feature from one of the backgrounds, or work with the DM to create a new one).
Monk
- Proficiency bonus +2 (same for all characters at 1st level)
- Hit Dice: d8 (8 + CON hit points at first level)
- Add proficiency bonus to Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
- Unarmored Defense - when not wearing armor, your AC = 10 + DEX + WIS.
- Martial Arts - when unarmored and unarmed or using only monk weapons (shortswords & simple melee weapons without the heavy or two-handed property):
- use DEX for attack and damage
- roll 1d4 for unarmed damaged (instead of the normal 1 point)
- when you use an attack action, you get an additional unarmed strike as a bonus action
- use DEX for attack and damage
