Agate Cliff was born about 100 years ago. He died recently, surrounded by family and friends, and with a smile on his face.
He had two children, Agate the second, his son; and Sapphire, his daughter.
Sapphire had three children when she was twenty five; Jade, Timber, and Smoke.
Smoke had one child, at twenty three, named Agate the third. (He had high hopes for his son.)
Agate the third had six children. Agate the fourth, Sapphire the second, Thunder, Cloud, Bird, and Runt.
Agate the fourth is about thirty now, and has made quite a name for himself. Champion of the Cliff clan, and well on his way towards being known even away from the clan.
Sapphire the second, meanwhile, is a respected merchant. She trades in valuable furs and pelts, and has brought great wealth to her family.
Thunder is an aspiring mage, and is learning even now to subtly alter the weather for better fortunes for the Cliff clan.
Cloud is following in Thunder’s footsteps, though she has a more analytic and less instinctive bent for magic.
Bird is, in a word, a genius, developing some of the first prototype airships.
And Runt… Runt has low self-esteem.
This is about him.
Runt is the youngest of Agate the third’s six children, only twenty one years old. While being quite strong physically, he doesn’t really see himself that way, as his family and clan value nimbleness over brute force. Likewise, his family have always been big talkers, but Runt is more quiet, shy, and reserved. He feels like he doesn’t quite belong.
His great-great-grandfather, Agate the first, always had faith in him. He would tell him stories about the time he fought Acerak, or the time he had the perfect words for a giant (who couldn’t speak his language) or about his various friends. Notably, he would talk about Arkhen, the strongest man he ever knew. It always made Runt feel a little better.
Now, Runt is trying to move out in the world. He’s left the Cliff ancestral home, and is setting out to forge his own name. May the gods grant him speed.
For context, Agate the first was my character in the last campaign. He was your standard Rogue, dexterous, charming, all that. Runt, of course, grew up on stories both from and about Agate, and while he dreams of being just like him... He's clumsy. An oaf, by human standards, not just tabaxi standards. He lacks charm and panache, though he's far more observant than most of his family (including Agate the first).
I think it'll be fun to play someone who's so different, despite being related. Plus it'll give me a chance to shut my yap. :P
