Ratkin - Ichabod Colby
General Information

History
Brother to six other siblings in his litter, Ichabod and his peasant family dwelled under the shadow of a Stormlord Spire for most of his young life. His childhood was happy for the most part, comfortable as lower class can get, playing in the streets and gaining an affinity for constructing his own toys out of salvaged wood, mud and scrap metal...
Though it was only over time that he realized most people aren't able to mould solid metal with their bare hands...
Turns out the young Rattus was a Guardian, a Magi, Pattern of the Bronze Mountain, and to move the earth and its ores was stamped on his Soul.

Ears perked and soon he was swept off to the Spire to be put under tutelage of other Magi. For most of his teens he spent in the vast library the Stormlord, and keeping his books, appointments, and dinners in check. Even attending a few when he was deemed respectful enough, and refining his skills as a blacksmith, gaining numerous high paying patrons for his refined work.

Eventually an Yrva Guild smiled his way and he was taken under their wing for his superb weapon forging, making copious arms for trade on their behalf, with the promise of learning Hellforging and more. But of course, the Greedy do not part easily with their gold, and late payment after I.O.U's after “It's in the Mail” after Paperwork after “It's lost/stolen/missing/See that other person,” … he grew fed up. Packed up his belongings and set out into the world, hoping to ply his trade to more committed and appreciative folks.


Appearance

Ichabod is a handsome little devil. For a Rat of course. Pale grey fur with a white face and belly covers his body, which he prides in keeping in good trim and combed. He wears a long charcoal-black hooded coat, with ample pockets and pouches. Under that, a fitted waistcoat and tie, complete with delicate silver pocket watch at the hip. Or less formally, a stiff collared white shirt with suspender braces. He carries anything he can't conceal within his numerous coat pockets in his bag, much akin to a doctors briefcase, purse-clip and all.

Personality

He is a cheerful and witty character. As bright eyed and bushy tailed as a Rat is – figuratively – capable.
Polite and restrained, reserved, patient, punctual and inclined to be a ruthless perfectionist in everything that he does. However he can also be obsessive, stubborn, self conscious and uptight.
He loves his tea, he loves his sweet breads and he loves his roaring fire. Not fond of blood or rotting bodies however. Those tend to make him light headed.
