also I have reasonable aim and a bit of experience in dodging, plus I've got kinda good manual dexterity, and I'm naturally a little stealthy.Constitution 7 (or 8)I've got slightly mild asthma, so I get tired and out of breath quickly, and I'm just out of shape nowadays; though I have no real health problems, I have mild allergies and my kinda-small frame, being a little short still.Intelligence 13I'm reasonably clever, a good learner sometimes, and kinda smart in general, but my memory is poor (need to spend more time in order to memorize something well, and can't remember specific details very quickly sometimes); I don't think quickly in a pinch, but if given some time and not too many distractions, I can generally devise a plan or find a solution.Wisdom 17Though I make hasty or anger-clouded decisions once in a while, it's not common; I'm naturally quick on the uptake, and very reasonable; I'm a whole lot more rational and clear-thinking than most people, not being clouded by any prejudice, arrogance, bias, stubbornness, or blind faith in others (only anger clouds my judgment sometimes), considering matters with a clear head and not jumping to conclusions; I'm extremely perceptive in general, and can't help but see and overhear what's going on around me, no matter how much I try to drown out distractions and focus on what I'm doing; I'm also strong-willed and do not let others influence my beliefs and actions, so I've never given in to peer pressure nor let the rest of my family's selfishness rub off on me, so I still consider the feelings and needs of other people; I'm good at judging people's state of mind, motivations, or the like, given some time and observation of course; I'm wary and downright paranoid (the universe IS out to get me, you know). <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> Charisma 5The universe, and most people in it, hate me.  I dunno why, I could never find a reason or solution, but despite all my efforts as a child, nobody ever cared one bit about me nor wanted to have anything to do with me, regardless of how incredibly nice and helpful I was.  Though naturally shy, I always tried hard to be liked as a kid (without being creepy or wierd in that regard, though; I've always been wise enough to know the difference).  Everyone still took an instant disliking to me, however, as soon as they met me; I was short and wore glasses, sure, but I've never been ugly or wierd-lookin', so I could never understand it.  I've grown a lot more cynical and indifferent towards how people treat me, but I still try to at least look calm if nothing else.  I've had few friends and never really had a chance to learn how to talk with people in a social manner; since most people just ignore me altogether.  No matter my tactical/planning skills I could never get anyone to pay attention to my ideas when working in a team.  I have some awful kind of anti-Charisma it seems.</blockquote>
