Raviaki Silverspark

-- Arrest report for Raviaki's Silverspark from the city of Gardenia
Raviaki is a dense little creature. Standing at 4'0'', which is a respectable height for a halfling, they are stout and swathed in layers, belts, and materials. Their gloves and boots are always stained with unmentionable substances. They have covered one eye with a bandage. Their hair is short, black, and always messy and their skin is a medium brown.

BackstoryAn unfortunate side character discarded by the narrative, Raviaki Silverspark was once an unwilling member of an adventuring party, journeying to save the realm from the onslaught of an evil goddess.
Born dirt poor to a sickly single mother, Ravi turned to drug making and drug dealing to pay the bills at an early age, discovering an affinity for potion making. However, after their mother passed, they got arrested for drug dealing and was conscripted into a realm saving adventure in exchange for their freedom.
However, as it turned out the plague was a curse by an evil goddess, seeking foothold in the realm. As the party found divine magic to release the realm from the goddess' grip, she found refuge inside Ravi instead. Desperate to keep the infection at bay, their party put them in a cave and rolled a rock over the entrance.
PersonalityRavi is cantankerous at the best of times. They've never been quite comfortable, and they're almost always on edge, even when they weren't a cursed host to an evil goddess. They're terrified of death and will do anything to survive, even at the risk of spreading the plague.
However, what they want most is to live a life of luxury, safety and security, and that is not compatible with a plague apocalypse, so they're constantly fighting with their passenger in their dreams.
They are constantly sleep deprived, unused to the concept of receiving help, and still stinging from recent betrayal. They're stubborn as hell, clever, and can brew a powerful potion provided they have proper ingredients. They are thus, always stuffing random shit into their many pockets and pouches, and are completely comfortable with butchering a corpse to get at ingredients.
They tend not to get high on their own supply because they prefer to be in perfect control of themselves at all times though.
They're also sarcastic as hell, and uses a dry sense of humor to try and cope with their situation. While the majority of the population can go fuck themselves, they do have a soft spot, deep down, for kids. In another, better world, they'd probably do great as a pediatrician. |

Abilities
Alchemy
A powerful alchemist, Ravi can brew potions to specification provided they have the time and ingredients to do so. Even in an unknown environment, their familiarity with alchemy means they can usually find acceptable substitutes for traditional ingredients. These potions can do anything from providing flight and agility, to breathing fire and acid, to healing wounds and poisons. And of course, drugs. Recently they haven't really been doing much with that though.
Running
For a creature so short in stature, they really are quite good at running the fuck away. They're a bit of a free runner, even, scrambling across walls, jumping over ditches, climbing up poles.
Thievery
A denizen of the underworld, Ravi knows their way around a lock. They can pick pocket too, if pushed to it. Not their best skill, but useful.
Inventory
Ravi is always on the look out for ingredients that could be, just maybe, be useful. They have many pockets and pouches that contain oddities galore. It also doesn't help that they have some sticky fingers at times. In terms of combat, they are armed with a belt knife, a solid stone mortar and pestle, and a cast iron cauldron the size of a grapefruit. Their inventory of potions is completely empty as of right now. They have a bunch of pockets sewn into their cape that holds their accumulated ingredients.
Their apron is made of a thick canvas that could act as armor against slashes and stabs. Their gloves are thick leather and they have leather tassets that are more inventory than armor, but will still protect them from a blow.
Strengths
They're very good at alchemy. They can make potions to specification, and they can be very powerful. However, these potions require time and ingredients, as well as a proper set up. They need a certain amount of infrastructure to make new potions.
They're good at improvisation and being very clever though.
Weaknesses
They're kind of a coward. They don't like pain and they aren't very good at fighting directly. They need a lot of set up to be able to do very much in battle.

Author's Notes
Ravi is based on a DnD character I have played! I'm very fond of them, and I'm also prone to making them the butt of a joke. It's great.
