I've slightly adjusted my character's origin. It's more of a general basis that will play upon Naatkinson's backstory, and will likely have gaps to fill as we mesh each others' histories together.
Yotsuba Tonton is a Wood Elf Assassin:
Quote:
The woodland fey of the Yotsuba Clan served the [Naatkinson] family for generations as gardeners, carpenters, gamekeepers, and servants. Other members of the Yotsuba traveled and settled far and wide as craftsmen, peddlers, and entertainers. This broad range of simple occupations concealed the Yotsuba's significant and primary responsibility as the [Naatkinson] family's network of spies and assassins. The clan's philosophy mirrored their name: the
tsuba guarded the hand that wielded the sword, thus in the four cardinal directions and through the four elements of war do the wood elves serve the [Naatkinson] family.
Yotsuba Tonton was a woodcarver in public, hawking his figurines in the city streets and neighboring towns. He made frequent stops at the [Naatkinson] family mansion, showing the nobility and their staff his latest wares and offering special discounts on select statuettes. In keeping with his clan's traditions, Tonton's real purpose was to gather intelligence from both within and abroad, and deliver these coded messages tucked away inside the carvings. Tonton's work involved more than reconnaissance; at times he would be called upon to elegantly dispose of some threats through poison or blade, receiving these orders from his clan elders or directly from [Naatkinson].
