Sounds interesting indeed
If I may, I'd like to present a character concept for your approval. I too, am a fan of fantasy cities. Lankhmar, Adrilankha and Sanctuary are my favorites. This campaign sounds a lot like the Haven series of novels by Simon R. Green (and if the 2 GMs have not read these novels, you are in for a treat. The main characters are city watch investigators, too)
In any case, here goes:
Rahvin Stormcrow
Rahvin was a spy in the employ of the Arch Duchy of Lauralie Summerhome. For the last few years, he had been working undercover as a courtier in Korthagas, Capital city of a neighboring Empire of the same name.
Recently, Rahvin’s cover was blown, and he narrowly managed to avoid capture at the hands of the Imperial Guard. Through great hardship, Rahvin was able to finally cross the frontier back into the lands of Silvertree.
Understandably tired of the life of a spy, Rahvin resigned his commission and returned to his native city of Lauralie Summerhome.
Though presently managing to survive on the wages earned from his time as a spy, Rahvin does not expect those funds to last forever. Thus, he avidly seizes the opportunity to work for the city constabulary.
A quick, inquisitive mind, and the skills of someone who knows how to blend in and survive in the city will certainly come in handy.
Neutral good human rogue 5
Skill emphasis on Gather Information, Local Area Knowledge, Diplomacy, Disguise, Bluff, Sense Motive, as well as some Move Silently/Hide in Shadows. All the things a former spy can refocus into being an investigator.
Well, sound interesting? I can have the stats ready to go by Friday night at the latest (I am a little busy this week, but should have enough time by then)
