Todri the Trickster

There are many voices that whisper the name Todri. Carried on the roughest tongues through the scummiest slums, they all sing the same song regarding the man...

"That worthless bum owes me money."

Todri is a man of many pleasures. His tiny frame holds within it a great interest in exploring the riskier side of the world. Dodging criminals, gambling with ghost money and convincing close friends to turn on each other. It's the thrill of life, the thrill of the game, and the will of his God. Todri is a devout follower of Calvyn Pinchwhistle, the gnomish God of chance and risk. While most gnomes hold a rather nonchalant relationship with their deities, Todri is oddly zealous in his ways. Calvyn encourages the act of taking risks, acting against one's own nature just to see the results. Lying and gambling are common ways that Todri entertains himself and Calvyn, but every now and again he will take bigger risks, lying to adventure parties just to see what sort of misadventures he can get himself into. So long as Todri is taking a chance on something, he is as happy as can be.

As a rock gnome, Todri is rather short in stature. Even by gnomish standards, he is quite small. At his tallest, Todri stands at 2'10". His reddish brown skin has seen the toll of his aging, as wrinkles have begun to show in all of his features. His bright orange hair has begun to change, with thick streaks of gray taking to the wild strands that run every which way. Todri is especially proud of his mustache, which points upwards like a massive smile on his face. His eyes are bright blue, gleaming brightly like the gems that he has such a fond desire for.

Todri is an adept Illusionist. While he understands engineering and will create gadgets and gizmos if he feels he needs to, Todri finds much more pleasure in putting his art to work. His devotion to Calvyn has earned him the right to divine powers as well, allowing him to channel his zeal into divine force to wade off the undead and heal his allies. His greatest weapon of all, however, is his silver tongue and his power of persuasion.

Unfortunately for him, Todri's nature has made it difficult for him to deny Calvyn's will. He is constantly looking to turn any situation into a game of chance. Even in the most dire of situations, Todri's mind is drawn toward the possibilities of "what if?". This has gotten him in trouble time and time again, usually putting him into more risk than he needs. To anyone else, this would seem foolish and irresponsible. But for Todri, this is just the way that life should be.
