He is neither fat nor skinny and would be considered unremarkable if not for the fact that few people have ever seen the face of a changeling -- his real face, anyway.When disguised, Din Din can look like any humanoid of his own approximate size. Humans are his favorite disguises, but his repertoire includes a number of creatures he had encountered: tieflings, an elf, a half-orc for traveling through orc-infested lands.History:Only a handful of people know Din Din by his real name, or even his shapeshifter nature. Most know him as Gareth Silvertongue, the charismatic human troublemaker, or perhaps as Neev, the humble servant of a wealthy noble family. Or even as Lady Lambrusco.Tricking people, discovering their secrets and causing mischief are the things Din Din enjoys most. To reduce the chance of being found out, he frequently wanders from one place to the next, and it was during such travels that Din Din found himself lost in what first appeared to be a massive bamboo forest. As he ventured further and further into the green wood, however, the surroundings became increasingly lush and gloomy; unwittingly he had found his way into the Feywild.Hearing a commotion nearby, Din Din ventured closer and saw a small white creature, resembling a fox of some kind, being assaulted by a huge tree-like monster. Not hesitating, Din Din -- who was disguised as Gareth Silvertongue at the time -- ran towards the monster and started beating it with his quarterstaff. Against all odds, the monstrosity fled from this unexpected attacker.The fox, however, turned out to be a powerful fey creature, who was never in danger in the first place. Taking the form of a beautiful elf woman, she introduced herself as Ashiin, the Lady of Foxes. She claimed to have monitored Din Din, instantly seeing through his disguise, and admitted to being intrigued. She had never encountered a changeling before and called Din Din a "unique snowflake".Ashiin offered to teach Din Din about fey magic, in return for amusing her with his own form of deceptive illusions, and of course his unending loyalty. He agreed immediately, not yet realizing the importance placed on such promises by the fey.She took Din Din as her lover; each changing appearance -- and gender -- frequently during their intimate moments. And she taught him magic; subtle, powerful, and always filling him with a strong desire for more.After 333 days, she sent him on a quest to Blackmoor. Ashiin was intrigued by humans, not yet knowing whether to think of them as a blessing or a curse. Din Din was told to find Blackmoor's most depraved inhabitant, its most kind citizen, and a typical peasant, and make sure all three ingest a magical seed given to him by Ashiin. She refused to say what effect these seeds would have, other than the cryptic "Fruit may fall, but only to grow more trees." Ashiin told Din Din -- whom she now calls Snowflake -- she would contact him, but did not say how or when. So here he is, at the gates of Blackmoor...Patron:Ashiin, a mysterious but very powerful fey calling herself the Lady of Foxes. This is most likely because of her fondness of the little creatures, or because of her trickster nature. Nobody is ever certain of her thoughts or plans, and she answers questions about her allegiance to either the Seelie or Unseelie Court "matters which nobody but fey can understand". Contrary to her harmless appearance, Ashiin is an ancient, androgynous creature of terrible power, both magical and martial.[/sblock][sblock=Statistics]STR     10 (0)DEX     14 (+2) (+1 racial)CON     10 (0)INT     14 (+2)WIS* 10 (0)CHA* 16 (+3) (+1 racial)* Proficient with WIS and CHA saving throwsProficiency bonus: +2HP: 8 (1d8)AC: 13 (leather armor + DEX)Attacks: Quarterstaff (melee): +2 (1d6 bludgeoning, or two-handed 1d8)Dagger (melee or thrown): +4 (1d4+2 piercing, range 20/60)Light Crossbow (ranged): +4 (1d8+2 piercing, range 80/320)Eldritch Blast (spell): +5 (1d10 force, range 120)Proficiencies: light armor, simple weapons, Disguise kit, Forgery kitSkill proficiencies: Deception (racial), Investigation, Nature, Persuasion (replaces Deception from Charlatan background), Sleight of HandPassive Perception: 10Racial features (changeling): DEX+1, CHA+1, proficiency in Deception, shapechanger (as an action, you can polymorph into any humanoid of your size that you have seen, or back into your true form.

He is a troublemaker, cousin of an imaginary duke, and has the official-looking documents to prove it. (Note: This is the False Identity from the Charlatan background.)- Neev, human male: A quiet, elderly man who is the servant of an imaginary duke and is therefore able to get into a lot of places where more eccentric people might not be welcomed.- Lady Lambrusco: human female: An attractive woman of seemingly noble descent, Din Din adopts this guise mostly as a way to turn the heads of men. She is fond of wine.- Daernion Hellborn, tiefling male: The proud son of a noble family that was wiped out after a demonic ritual went horribly wrong, Din Din uses this persona to intimidate people.- nameless elf male: Sometimes you just got to be an elf. When annoying dwarfs, for example.- nameless half-orc male: A disguise that gets you through lands infested with orcs and goblins a lot easier than as a human. Or elf.[/sblock][sblock=Equipment and money]Equipment: light crossbow and 20 bolts, arcane focus (wand),  scholar’s pack (backpack, a book of lore, bottle of ink, ink pen, 10  sheets of parchment, little bag of sand, small knife), leather armor,  quarterstaff (any simple weapon), two daggers, set of fine clothes,  Disguise kit, signet ring of an imaginary duke (tools of the con of your  choice), false identity documentation, belt pouch, three Feywild seedsMoney: 9 gpFeb 13 2015: 6 gp spent on an inn and a bank.[/sblock]</blockquote>
