Interaction:

Alder is a small-minded individual with a low tolerance for anyone that isn't in the same social standing as he is. He's obsessed with getting status for himself and is always looking for things in which to better his situation. He is a rare example of a ratling with a ratling's normal self-interests, however, he also has a high opinion of race, and feels it is his personal duty to see to it that the rodent population is respected, and that rodent towns are properly fitted with infrastructure.

Background:

As a child, Alder was born within the slums of Dunhaven. His mother was a prostitute, his father worked as an urchin, until his mother got pregnant and he had to quit, or starve. His mother's family was well off, and money was never an issue for the family, but his mother's pride kept her from asking for anything, so she starved herself and Alder. When he was old enough, he left to find work, and quickly found himself getting swindled, and spending his money on prostitutes, until he was able to save enough money to buy a place of his own. He spent his earnings building a tavern, and when it was completed, he made a great sum of money off it. He began to spend his time building himself a reputation, and as he became more popular, more and more people started to come to him to be mayor. He ran for the mayor's office and won handily. He has no real plans for passage, and is mainly concerned with making sure his own pockets are lined first.

Combat / Skills:

Alder is a politician, and has no combat abilities. He is an average healer. He has no special skills, though he is very quick to throw his weight around.
