and his Emerald Swing

He's my Normal Human Rogue who goes by Eduardo Santiago and he's a pirate... Kind of. He mostly roleplays a pirate. He makes most of his money by doing daytime performances and night-time crawling into tight spaces. Usually. Recently he's gotten stuck with a merry band of idiots that he travels with.

He was born to a well-respected merchant family up north, to loving but distant parents and an older brother that went away from home to become an adventurer when he was 8. With him gone, the parents' expectation to carry on the family business fell on him alone. He didn't quite care for that, and eventually cracked under the pressure and ran away from home, hopped a boat and went south.

There he lived, worked, and romanced with the lovely redhead lady also pictured here, Carmilla. Things were going more or less smoothly until, when they were about 17, a bad fight broke out between them. They both said things, and Eduardo ran away in the middle of the night with a lot of their shared funds. Thus began his solo act.

There's obviously more ... to all this. too much for one post really. But it is very fun having a character whose big tragic backstory is something so mundane. And despite being a weasel I love him.
