History:
Jeremiah and Lydia Tomesh were part of semi-nomadic tribe, traveling between cities for trade and living off the land. They maintained ancient traditions and stories about mighty dragons. After Eugene was born they had a row with some disagreement over selling traditional poultices believed to be gift of the dragons to city dwellers.
Eugene's parents separated from the tribe over that perceived slight (they were banished) and he grew up on the streets of Paridon. Being outsiders there was precious little they could do, but their knowledge of natural herbs and ancient cures served them well. After several lean years they set up a shop and are doing quite well. In the years that followed they attracted several wealthy patrons and one of them was local sage. Another one was Edithomas, gnome alchemist of some renown. Young Eugene was fascinated with old traditions of his people and was reading all he could about it and pestered his parents about them. In time, adolescent Eugene showed signs of blessings of the Ancient Ones and his parents knew they cannot teach him anymore. As they don't have access to tribe shamans they turned to their well learned and traveled patron. He took Eugene and tought him how to be true dragon heir. After three years of learning Eugene took name Brasspin honoring ancient spirit of his dragon and joined law enforcement. Eugene is stickler for justice and while he looks forward to restoring his family honor once the tribe appears again at Paridon, he joined the police so he could keep the streets, vileness of which he felt more then once, as clean as possible. And to keep his parents and their shop safe and their business prospering.
Soon he became part of company of investigators and somehow his colleagues exceled at what they did. Less traps were sprung, more clues turned up and reflexes were faster when he was around. When Eugene did something that was group success and when he failed, that was his own. His small advantage in dealing with evil on the streets was that he knows how to deal with rubble of the streets thanks to harsh years before business started. But he also knows how to behave with rich and even noble citizens due to rareness of some herbal poultices his family provided and their contact with citizens who could afford such.
More seriously, because you're members of the constabulary, your ability to requisition equipment covers most of that need. The 9,000 gp starting gold is a quick representation of what can be reasonably acquired. Furthermore, you'll find that your successes will quickly translate into added social status in Paridon--and that status is priceless. As an example, Fr. Berman's new pistols came from somebody. Ru's history kept showing up. (Even throwaway details can prove important later in the game. And, thanks to the forum format, I can remember these details.) In an ever-connected city like Paridon, reputations travel far.
