Cornered fury Ratfolk can fight viciously when cut off from friends and allies.

Special

Now, the unquiet spirit appears around you at inconvenient times, distracting you with regret for being unable to help. You take a –2 penalty on saving throws against the distraction ability of swarms and mind-affecting effects and on concentration checks.

Explanations

Tinker +2 racial bonus on Craft (alchemy), Perception, and Use Magic Device checks.
Artisan (social trait) +2 trait bonus on a single Craft skill (your choice) -> alchemy.

Episodic background

Born to peasant parents (Zill and Grith Thawsaw).
Parents were hard workers, almost slaves on a human-owned farm near the town.
Father Grith died (mostly due to overworking) when Asix was about 3 years old.
Mother Zill couldn't take care of the three children, so she gave them to a better-off childless ratfolk family in the town.
Shura and Ratuq Slithby raised the children (and later finally had one of their own, Danil).
Shura's sister Theni (a skilled rogue) noticed that Asix was good at a lot of things, so she trained Asix even more.
Asix's sister Dathel was busy helping the parents and brother Debi got a girlfriend.
Asix was jealous of the older siblings because they had found something to do.
Asix lied to Debi that his girlfriend was in trouble in the bad part of town.
Debi went to the bad part of town and got robbed and killed.
Asix was terribly upset and told the parents about it. The parents scolded Asix but said that it was Debi's choice to go (especially since the lie was rather unbelievable).
Dathel was so upset with Asix that she left the town.
The parents did some trading with an elf ranger called Doathiel Vaolailin who noticed that Asix was extremely broody.
Doathiel took Asix into the nearby forests for a while for training and meditation, which made Asix a little better.
Asix left home to track down sister Dathel, in order to apologize. Also wants to find a way to put brother Debi's spirit to rest because it keeps haunting.

Personality sometimes a little broody, will not tell a lie (but will sometimes refuse to speak), likes to collect all kinds of useful items and agonizes because they're sometimes too heavy, likes Elven jewelry but this far hasn't been able to buy any
