Appearance:
Biography: Discouraged early in life from a career in the Arts Deekin chose to instead use his smaller size and nimble digits for more suitable pursuits. His early days out of the clan den were marked by his time in a street gang, running instructions, slipping through fights to strike unexpectedly, the odd bit of lock and pocket picking. It seemed his main role in the gang however was as a decoy, a task he seemed to perform quite well most of the time.
Reaching his late teens he yearned for a change of pace and studied briefly under an old witchdoctor that the gang had call to use on occasion. Here he picked up a little knowledge of using mana, a little life magic in the form of minor healing and the capability to dominate the minds of rodents. He soon discovered that he had little aptitude for magic and grew bored with the old man's lessons.
He then got it into his head that he would become a Ranger, travelling between cities and protecting others from the beasts that roamed the lands. He started by signing on with several caravans as a guard and trying to learn from the more experienced veterans of the wild lands beyond the city walls, eventually finding a man who was much more at home outside a city and within the safety of walls. The man had with him a trained dog which he claimed he had found in the wild and after capturing it bent to his will with merciless months of training.
True or not this convinced Deekin that to be the Ranger he had decided he would be need a beast of his own at his side, so one night he slipped away from the carvan he was with at the time and entered the wilds, hiding from most of the creatures he saw until he came upon a sleeping tiger. Of course Deekin had nothing to trap the tiger with and certainly didn't want to spend months trying to train it. So instead he used the magic he had learned from the witchdoctor, the spell that had allowed him to dominate rats and mice.
The rest as they say is history. Deekin has not however risen to the lofty station he had aimed for, but given time perhaps it will come. In the mean time he does what work he can get to make ends meet.

By Teeth and Claw: As a Kobold, disarming Deekin is practically impossible without... well, literally disarming him... and muzzling him. His claws are capable of shredding light armour though has less effect against heavier protection and his bite is strong enough to puncture plate armour, though of course biting does leave him somewhat vulnerable to retaliation. Zane shares these traits
Telepathic Link: Deekin shares a telepathic link with Zane though a blood bond the two of them made many years ago.
Animal Companion; Zane: Deekin travels with a Saber Tooth Tiger by the name of Zane. The two fight together and are rarely separated, Even going so far as Deekin insisting they share accommodation, Most innkeepers refuse to let Zane in the rooms (though few try to removing him from the common rooms) which means Deekin has spent many a night in haylofts rather than proper beds.
