Hey...I've only just peeked in here today for the first time. I'm considering joining, but I am looking for excitement, which means I'll need to create an exciting character. It crossed my mind that a market place may be an ideal place to creat a thief character. I've never played a thief character...I've never written with a thief character, actually. I mean, sure, I've had my mischevious fellows steal once in a blue moon, but that doesn't really make them thieves, now does it?

I glanced through the existing characters and there don't seem to be any thieves yet created.

So I have two questions: Are my observations correct and are there indeed really now thieves? And, May I create one, or is that too contraversial for this game thread's intention?

-- Folwren

P.S. I can promise some action if you say yes.

Mm? I mean, yes, definitely, quite. Did I tell you about the wonderful party I was at up at the Citadel last night...?

Did I miss something? I easliy could have. As I said - just glanced (briefly) at the characters. If you're a thieving character already, I'll leave that honorable position to you.

My donkey will probably steal some food every once in a while, but no serious thieving.

do pick-pockets count as official thieves? I don't want to make a mess out of Pio's amd Foley's characters, but I think that the twins, as I imagine them, being - a) children and b)won't steal too much at once - will be quite different from a "more experienced" () adult thief, who will get into more serious stuff. ~IMHO

Little Thieves . . .

Garan and Goran are definitely little thieves, well-trained - They are still small and as so are short in stature. They can't reach any tall pockets, but they can deftly grab anything they find in the lower pockets.

Derry, the 16 y/o male, might be classified as a thief in that he takes others' money with his little games of chance.

There are 7 other youngsters I will probably bring into play later who also are into some sort of thievery or begging.

Okay. I missed Pio's little twin pickpocket characters. I was thinking a child-ish sort of character- someone possibly like the Artful Dodger, though not quite so artful. Possibly somewhere between the age of 12 and 15. I'll have to read Pio's bio more thoroughly, I see.

Angelimar is a pillar of the community and a nobleman of Edhellond!

None of the rumours are true.

Honest.
