Background Story:

I never really got a chance to meet or remember my parents, not even in dreams or in light searches of the astral realm. I was raised by my "Uncle" Taka Yoshi, a now influential member of the Seattle Yakusa in charge of running the docks. I was branded with the name KIdd, I guess my mom either didn't bother naming me or my Uncle just didn't know what my name was. Taka doesn't talk much about my parents, when he does its normally about my mother, and his voice has a sound of care behind it, although if my father comes up - well lets just say I'm to young to say some of the choice words hes mentioned and I'm pretty sure hes not alive anymore. Before I could even walk, I tended to wander and take things that weren't mine, from pens and staplers right down to that artifact they were moving way back when I was 5 - sadly I had to return it. Unlike most low level Yakusa members, I spent a lot of my time in private meetings with my Uncle, and his superiors and underlings, so thinking out plans to organize groups or move into areas comes naturally to him. My uncle has always made sure nothing lethal happened to me, but I do remember a few solid beatings for being an insolent little bastard. I have never thought of myself as a Yakusa member - nor has my uncle pushed to have me officially recruited, but I do owe a lot of my skills and experience to the training and lifestyle I had growing up around them. Most of the jobs I did involved some fancy finger and legwork or just simply mule some packages around town. This must have been the most educational part of my 8 years of life, and I was pretty sure I was gonna be my uncle when I grew up - or so I thought.

I am told I was born here in Seattle, and have lived on the streets or down by the docks almost all my life. It was here on these streets that I met a good friend of mine, her name is Nova Saint. A rather attractive elf, I helped Saint build a small connection empire that has moved me from the starving streets to a first class balcony in Seattle's upper class regions. Saint also helped me forge a true name for myself, given the opportunity to pick my own name was far more than your average 10 year old should be given, I chose the name Urchin, since it seemed fitting for a street boy. We have been together since we randomly met up on the streets, since we seemed to have gotten along just fine we just kinda stayed together. I still reside with her to this day and we have pulled quite a fun number of jobs and I have met many interesting people in the process. I'd go on more about her - but this is my story so you can go look her up after.

I hit puberty young for a male, shortly after what I would call my 10th birthday, I met my best friend and mentor - a spirit named Artemis. without him I'd be in for a world of hurt cause it seems my dad - the bastard who left my mom - also left me with a special gift. I discovery my natural affinity for the magical realms. I guess the "tradition" as I'm told is shamanic, but its almost like this part of my life was just waiting to open me to a world that i was destined to belong to. With Artemis' help I found myself to enhance my own ability to acquire information for various places much easier, by changing myself into another thing, or even disappearing from sight altogether. Artemis also made sure I could fight and defend myself in this new world, I seem to just like using magic in its own form for everything.

As for now, well lets just say I'm living the high life, I got my own place, access to real and fresh food and my own door guy - who is really good at getting stuff I ask for. I'm still living with Miss Saint and we even have a new friend who I think is pretty cool, my very own Troll girl called Oksana. yeah she speaks a little weird, but seems like a pretty good person, plus I don't get picked on nearly as much when I'm with her, she scares just as many people away as my uncle when hes out with his buddies.

A Little About Me:

Urchin tends to be very loyal to those he deems Family. most people he has branded as family do not know of this title and just tend to be called friends by him like everyone else. Urchin's Family consist of a select few that he would put his own life at risk to save, and only hopes they would do the same for him if it came down to it. Urchins friends can also count on him to be loyal, but that just means he wont lie, cheat or steal form them - unless he can justify it in his own mind as the greater cause (so keep anything shiny well hidden).

On the flip side, if you get on Urchins bad side - or worse yet harm or threaten his family, he tends to be fanatical about making your life miserable. He even once took someones life *Discovery of Death Touch Power* for insulting Miss Saint behind her back that he over heard in a uptown crowded bar. as for all you people he doesn't know or care about, well, unless its shiny or your pointed at, you have nothing to worry about - for now.

One thing Urchin cannot stand is when "Big People" tell him what he can and cannot do. It tends to make him want to rebel and do it, even if it puts himself or others in harms way. although very loyal and willing to help when the need arises - some of his friends often find random bits of useful information bantering out of his mouth among all the useless babbling. He is well known to speak his mind and often thinks very very short sighted.

Urchin's quirk of stealing did not stop when his magical prowess grew, if anything the influence of his Raven mentor Artemis only bolstered his need to collect all things shiny and not yet his. He also tends to not fully think things through and like most youth will throw away just about any real plan for a thrilling adventure (as seen in episode 2 by climbing a houses wall before the party even arrived). He also tends to overdue or under due everything in his life - that balance and regard for personal safety, well that check hasn't cashed yet. Urchin was never really sat down and told about just how quickly life can be stolen from him - even though he sees it in everyday life.

Food tends to be a very strong motivator in this young boys life, mostly due to the fact that growing boys are hungry - and hes growing very fast. not to mention that he tends to burn a lot of energy flying, running, stealing, eavesdropping and pretty much being a pain in most peoples ass's.

Over all Urchin is not a bad kid, just keep in mind at 15 he will rebel, do what he thinks and mostly run himself into a lot or trouble, but sometimes said trouble is the thing the party needed to get done, just gone about all wrong.

*More to come* this character will be ever evolving, and if I notice and new quirks, traits or need an additional chunk of history it will be added for RP sake. - keep watching
