Kid does not need a name. Just "Kid" is fine, really. Kid has twitchy fingers, kid's luck, and likes to climb. Because climbing lets you see. You see all kinds of wondrous things when adults are not looking. More the better when adults think you are stupid and not listening...then you really learn Important Things. There is a problem with twitchy fingers, though. Sometimes you grab something you wish you had not. The coin, for example. Kid wishes he had not grabbed the shiny gold Cartagenian coin. Because now Kid has to go where Kid does not like--under the sea. The coin must be returned, Kid knows. La Gloriosa beckons with her watery siren's call, and Kid feels the pull.

Other than to cast the coin back into the watery depths of La Gloriosa, the coin may not be disposed of, traded, sold, or given away. The coin and its curse are indestructible--not even a wish can part you from the coin, destroy it, or undo the curse while the coin is in your possession.Mixed Fortunes: Kid, Strange LuckKid: You are 13 years old (or the equivalent for your race). You suffer a -3 Strength penalty, which diminishes by 1 for each year until your 16th birthday. Until then you cannot die from a failed save or ability check; the worst that will happen is you are grievously injured, taken captive, or knocked out.  Cannot take Old Salt.Strange Luck: You are surrounded by extraordinary circumstances. Whenever you roll a natural 1 or 20 something bizarre happens. On a natural 1 you critically fail at whatever you were attempting, thru no fault of your own; a lock pick breaks, you slip on a patch of oil, a guard recognizes you, etc. On a natural 20 you gain an extraordinary success thru some happy circumstance; you happen to have picked up the exact key to this lock earlier, your fall is broken by your jacket catching on the flagpole, the guard happens to be your cousin, etc.Good Fortune: Treasure MapTreasure Map: You possess a map to a secret treasure, whether a buried treasure chest, a shipwreck which could be restored, or a buried stockpile of munitions.Ill Fortune: Obsessed with TreasureObsessed with Treasure: You have an unhealthy fascination with treasure; all things bright and glittery draw you in like a moth to a flame. When confronted with a treasure you can't help but handle several pieces of it right away or, if unable to handle it, stare transfixed for a round. You always try to take more than your fair share of a prize when doing so won't raise the hackles of your companions...usually because they won't find out.Relationships to Crew:  At age eleven, Kid stowed away on Old Blackheart's ship; he hid below decks for six days, living off a portion of the ship's cargo of rotting musk melons before being discovered.  By the time Old Zef found him, Kid was a little tipsy from eating fermented melons for nearly a week straight.  It took the crew a day or two to reason out just how dandy Kid was at climbing rigging.  Once Kid sobered up, climb he did.  Always curious, Kid climbed the rigging and watched.  A month and two ports later, Kid worked out Captain's habits well enough to pick his way into Captain's private chamber beneath the fo'c'sle, where he pawed some kind of rolled up treasure map done in fancy ink on vellum.  The crew might know about the melons, but nobody knows Kid five-finger-discounted the map.  Not even Old Zef.  The Coin, though, it came later.  And when it did, it hit like a ton of bricks.Background: Ship Rat (custom)Skill Proficiencies:  Deception, StealthTool Proficiencies:  Navigator’s Tools, Distiller’s Kit (rum) -- Kid knows how to make rum.  For adults.Equipment: TBDFeature: Wanderer (Kid has an excellent memory for maps and geography, and can find food and fresh water for himself and up to five other people each day, provided the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth).
