Career skills: Charm, Coercion, Cool, Discipline, Divine, Medicine, Melee (Light), and Negotiation.
Choose four: Charm, Divine, Melee (Light), and Negotiation. (basically Divine to use his faith to biase the gambling results, charm and negotiation to get out of ... "situations" and melee as a fall back skill is sweet talk fails)

Wound: 10 + 2 = 12
Strain: 9+3(4) = 12 (13)
Defense: 0
Soak: 2

Desire: Ambition - Joined Argus Inquiries for the privileges and hoping to use them to get above the rest.
Fear: Death - Avoids provoking Fortuna by getting into clearly dangerous situations.
Strength: Idealistic - Yep, everyone should care less because, you know, in the end, it was just about luck.
Flaws: Timid - Extremely risk averse, opting instead to take more thorough or tried-and-true approaches and may take too long to act.

So, ambition can explain why he joined the party, death and timid fit well together (he is afraid so he doesn't take risks) and the strength is derived from his faith.

Unimaginatively taken the first half-catfolk image I found :) So, like the image + average height and a bit slimmer comparing to a human, in his 20s.
A small but visible tattoo of Fortuna's dice on his right wrist and two piercing on the left ear.

Relaxed and trying to make the most of his luck (while it lasts!). He tries not to provoke the Godess Fortuna by taking unnecessary risks, but he ends up being a bit of a happy-go-lucky character, since the future is simply determined by a roll of dice, right?
