Works either way- we have Katerina- an experienced fugitive who can probably detect an intruder, Logan, who has sharpened his senses to the point he could hear you think, Razzy, a goblin who is always thinking of any potential threats around him and Droplet- with the senses of a wolf, capable of tracking down someone by their smell.
Of course, this is draft- but heck? Why not introduce your character to us?
