[QUOTE="Unkabear, post: 3168320, member: 39373"] Ferrel Lunfaer Air Gnome (From Unearthed Arcana) Rogue Neutral Good Ferrel was always the picked on one. He was the runt of his family, of his class, of his town. He learned early in life that most times it was better to not be noticed than to be picked on. He spent a good deal of time alone and after a while began, as all Gnomes are, to be curious. He wondered how things worked. He began to work at locks to see if he could open them. More often than not he was outmatched by the simple locks let alone the master ones. But still he tried. As well he found that he enjoyed rooftops to be far superior to the common streets.
