Riven

Name: Riven “Riv” Thatch (placeholder—can rename) Age: 22 Gender: Male Species: Anthro Rat Height: 5'10" (178 cm) Build: Extremely lanky; underweight; wiry “skinny muscle” with visible definition; long limbs and narrow shoulders Alignment: Neutral Good (with occasional Chaotic tendencies) Occupation: Alley courier / scavenger / small-time fixer BACKSTORY Riven grew up in the forgotten edges of the city’s old districts—cramped alleys, rusted fire escapes, and brick walls older than most of the people living near them. His family drifted often, moving from one abandoned loft to another. He learned to survive quietly: slipping through cracks, scavenging food, finding warmth wherever he could. By his teens, he’d become the go-to alley rat for anything that needed finesse—retrieving stuck items, unlocking old doors, or fixing up electronic scraps. Locals started paying him in food or shelter, and eventually in small amounts of cash. He never meant to be a courier, but his speed and knowledge of the backstreets made him perfect for it. Anonymous deliveries, quick drop-offs, silent pickups—things that kept him moving and kept him alive. He carries a sense of loneliness he doesn't quite understand, but he hides it behind wry humor and focused work. He genuinely wants connection—he just doesn’t know how to reach for it without expecting rejection.
