They're a human with the Beastkin variant heritage, and their background is Academy Dropout. They were a hotshot in their hometown, floating through school and being well known and well liked... and then they hit college and suddenly found that they were in over their head. They dropped out, ran away, and semiconsciously refuse to try anything they're not already good at. Their arc is a nice, easy pipeline from "lazy asshole who's in it for the money and constantly whines for a nap to "specialist who realizes that you don't need a paper to be good at something and liked for it, you just have to do what you can and be a good person".

They're a Twisting Tree hybrid study Magus, so the play style is all focused on their staff and how they can change their grip and move it from a two-handed powerful weapon to a one-handed agile weapon for easier multiattacks *and* spellcasting!
