(Basically a slimmed down, modern version of a certain halfling rouge of mine.)
Name: Jackson Bartholomew Nimble
Aliases: Jefferson Black, Jimmie Goodman, Shaun Davies, incalculable others...
Race: Human
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Power Level: Mid-tier Low
Timeline: Modern
Appearance: Jackson is a small man at 5’8” and a toned 135 lbs. His hair is black with blond highlights he did himself, cut short, and often gelled to a wild, ruffled look. His unassuming face and charming smile can usually diffuse a hostile situation all on their own. His skin is fair, most likely due to the “indoors” nature of his trade. Normally wears crisp beige dress slacks, white sneakers, a Hawaiian-print buttoned t-shirt worn either open or with the bottom couple buttons done, and a white undershirt…unusually bright colors to wear for one in his profession. Often completes the outfit with a beige jacket with various hidden pockets, and thin black shades.
Personality: Jack can make friends with almost anybody. A level-headed smooth talker with an eloquent and rather strong personality (which he uses to his advantage), he’s fully aware of what he is and is not able to do, and boasts accordingly. He is ultimately self-serving, ready to play others’ trust and feelings in order to achieve his ultimate goals. He despises killing or fighting, always preferring to find a way around such “eventualities”, usually with words.
Powers/Abilities: Jack has no powers, but he is both nimble of body (much to the ladies’ pleasure) and quick of mind. He also has a rather extensive knowledge of the workings of mechanical objects, like locks, switches, timers, etc. Couple that knowledge with a penchant for being “sneaky” and practice with his dexterous fingers…
Weapons: He owns a handgun, but usually keeps it at home unless he really needs it for a job. He always carries a 4” switchblade in his pocket, for “self defense”, though it’s never been used for more than slashing open a particularly difficult or rusty lock.
Tools: He owns various high-tech and low-tech tools of the thieving trade, but doesn’t carry them unless he’s on the job…which is all the time. He always has his all-purpose utility tool, a Leatherman, in fact.
Weakness: He’s slightly prone to distractions, especially the shiny and expensive kind, but not if their outside his known ability to “obtain”. He’s not all that great in combat, either martial or ranged, and prefers to duck and run as soon as is possible if such a situation arises and let other more capable combatants deal with the situation.
