portrait (by Nix)
Stivan is an Halfling, a Chaotic Neutral Fighter/Thief, a possible party member for the entirety of
SoA and
ToB (
ToB content planned but not written or coded). He has the usual assortment of
NPC banters, interjections, quests, and friendship tracks. He doesn't have irresolvable party conflicts, except with a Legal Good Anomen.
He is the son of a wealthy wine merchant, he lost his family to a unexplained seagull attack, and was subsequently cheated out of his inheritance by his father's business partner. He was thus forced to live on the streets, scraping a living whatever way he could (mainly by killing seagulls and selling their feathers). He joined CHARNAME for a chance out of a life of poverty, as well as for an ally against the "feathered enemy".
Note for the worried: although personal experiences might differ (and his bio looks suspicious), I'm sufficiently convinced that he's not Stu-ish; at the very least, he doesn't spend 90% of his dialogues whining about his loss (a la Aerie) or talking about seagulls (a la Jan), and he definitively doesn't "win" 90% of his banters.
He joins the party at first level (to allow you to better allocate his thieving abilities), but with 161.000
XP (enough to jump at F7 / T8 as soon as he joins the party).
Stats:
* STR 14
* DEX 19
* CON 16
* INT 13
* WIS 8
* CHR 10
He starts out specialized in Short Sword and Sling, with some points spent in Pick Pockets, Move Silently and Hide in Shadows.
Sample banter 1 (Italian):
Stivan ~Muori, fetido gabbiano! E anche tu, schifido volatile! Tu non sei da meno, vomitevole pennuto!~
Haer Dalis ~Devo riconoscere che il tuo approccio verso i gabbiani è all'insegna dell'affetto, Stivan. Potresti dirmi, di grazia, perchè li disprezzi così tanto?~
Stivan ~Hanno ucciso i miei familiari! Hanno pasteggiato con i loro corpi e si sono appoiallati sulle loro carcasse! Come potrei non odiarli?!~
Haer Dalis ~Hmm... Comportamento piuttosto insolito per dei pennuti. Ad ogni modo, chi odia ama, mio gabbiano.~
Stivan ~*Non* chiamarmi gabbiano!~
Haer Dalis ~Ormai è deciso, Stivan. Tu sarai il mio uccello di mare.~
Stivan ~Ti ho detto che non vogl--~
Haer Dalis ~Sì sì sì. Non avrei potuto scegliere un nome migliore.~
Sample banter 2 (also in Italian):
Stivan ~(Sniff sniff) Cos’è questo fetore?~
Keldorn ~Ogni angolo di questo posto è impregnato dell’odore del male. Suggerisco di avanzare con cautela.~
Stivan ~Heh. Io pensavo che avessi fatto una puzzetta, paladino!~
Keldorn ~...~
