Katze

Story: Katze is a middle aged Serval beastborn who has had an awfully unlucky life up to this point. His parents were tired, overworked people who did the best they could to provide for him, but it got to a point where as a young child he was forced to begin working at a local tavern as a server and dishwasher. It was tiring and barely made ends meet but it was all he could do to help his family. As he grew older and the pay got better he finally felt he was doing alright for himself, his parents were getting a bit older but his father had just managed to become a royal librarian, a position he had worked years for as a scholar. His mother was allowed to finally rest and the two managed to make up for time that they didn't have. It felt like everything was coming together. It wasn't meant to be though. Not for Katze at least. While his parents finally began living the lives they were wanting, Katze just happened to be in the wrong place at the absolute wrong time. Walking through town one night after a long shift at the tavern he stumbled upon a horrifying scene, a man in what looked to be rather important looking garb having been mortally wounded in an alley. Having a kind heart Katze ran over to him, trying to treat his wounds only to be knocked out by an unseen assailant. The next time he awoke, he was bound and in custody of the Audhelm knights, the assassination of a high ranking official having been pinned on him. The next few hours were a blur, first the cart was attacked, then the woods surrounded him in all directions, then his bindings were undone and he was a free man once more. A wanted man, but a free one at least. Katze spent the next 10 or so years wandering from town to town as a bard, bad luck or Audhelm guards seemingly following him wherever he went. As soon as bad things started to happen he knew he had to leave. Katze eventually realized that he couldn't keep running, he couldn't give into despair every time it peeked it's way into his life. His curse didn't control him, he had to take his own life by the reins.

Personality: A traveling bard with a penchant for mischief and misfortune. He's harmless but he can't seem to stay out of trouble. He greatly enjoys talking with people but up to this point has been unable to form any sort of real connections as he runs from town to town. His shy and humble nature is obvious from the outset and he can be easily scared off. His skill as a bard is quite good despite the seemingly never ending streak of bad luck that follows him around.
