“I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

An elf, a human and a dwarf are all enjoying drinks in a tavern when each notices a fly in their glass.
The elf places his napkin over the glass and pushes it off to the side.
The human removes the fly and keeps drinking.
The dwarf pulls out the fly and starts yelling, "Spit it out, ya bastard! Spit it out!"

Midge
Full Name Midge Mad Gnome Alchemist Who Plays With Fire Tier 2 Age 36ish Homeland {{{Homeland}}} Favored Totem {{{Totem}}} XP' 16 Spent/16 Total

Background

In the Turquoise Shire sat a little Halfling village. It was a quiet, provincial village. Nothing exciting happened all that often, unless you counted the annual festivals to celebrate the seasonal holidays. For a young gnome girl it wasn’t the most fun place to grow up, but for Midge it was the only home she knew.

She was raised by a gnome woman, who she was pretty sure was her birth mother, a man who she knew wasn’t her birth father but treated her like a daughter anyway, and an elderly gnome woman who she called Granny, there exact blood relationship was in question. With gnomes it really didn’t matter. They are firm believers in the ‘it takes a village’ theory. In this case it was a halfling village.

Midge’s parents were landowners, with a large farm that sustained most of the village with produce. They were quite well off, able to provide for their only daughter easily. What they couldn’t provide however was adventure. Adventure was something that the young gnome Midge was always on the lookout for adventure. And oft times this lead to trouble and one time death…or pretty close to it. It was this near-death experience that put her on the path to becoming an alchemist and also lead Midge to her greatest regret.
