Fangs and claws: It is totally impossible for Slicket to be unarmed as he is able to use his claws and fangs.

Rat senses: Slicket has enhanced smell and hearing. He is able to easily identify something’s direction via either of these senses, even when there are distracting smells or sounds.
Tail: Slicket may hold things with his tail, though it may not carry any particularly heavy object, he has trained himself in throwing items with his tail with further accuracy than with his hands.
Small: Slicket is very small in frame and stature, making him harder to hit but particularly frail and weak.
Sneaky: As a ratman, Slicket is extraordinarily adept at hiding and stealth, he is able to quickly take up escape routes that others wouldn’t begin to think about
Carrier: Slicket is immune to many diseases and has a resistance to most, this is not to say he cant catch and pass them on, just that the effects of these diseases do not register upon his body.
Animal sense: Slicket has an uncanny sense for danger, occasionally moving out of harms way for little recognizable reason. He also has much faster reflexes and reactions.
Flight: Slicket is extremely adept at escape and evasion, being able to avoid harm while making his get away is the single reason for his survival. Slicket is much faster when evading harm in combat.
Fight: Being that he is a coward; Slicket generally only takes to fighting when he has a clear advantage and unless he does he is hampered by his hesitation making his actions slightly delayed. (Boiling down to a light speed reduction when attacking a foe he believes to hold an advantage or that he does not hold the advantage against).

Description of Appearance:
Skill Set: Assassin
Weapons/armor/items Carried:
Gutter fang: A dirty putrid, yet sturdy and well made dagger with a foot long blade and decorated bone carved handle that he stole years ago and has served as his blade ever since.The dagger seems to have a strange aura of sentience to those who can see feel or otherwise perceive such things.
Improvised weapons: Slicket collects and occasionally makes a lot of sharp items which he uses as throwing weapons or caltrops, though he holds a particular preference for “throwing stars” that he replicates in a make shift way from one he found in the sewers and keeps as a good luck charm. Though his replications are rough and unbalanced, they tend to be rusted, barbed and putrid making them painful and hard to remove once in.
Signature Moves:
Cornered rat: When pushed to a losing position, or when cornered Slickets speed and strength doubles. He is also able to ignore injuries for a few seconds (a single post),this also negates his “fight” racial ability.
Infected living: Life in the sewers and gutters has rendered Slicket covered in all manner of germ and sickness’s and though they have little to no effect on him, due to his body having grown accustomed to them, wounds he inflicts with “Gutter fang”, his throwing weapons or any part of his body will cause an infection that brings intense sickly pain and symptoms much like gangrene, the flesh dying back and if not treated, it will rot and degrade the blood leading to the heart, causing death.
(Note: this takes a few days to come into effect and therefore has no immediate effect on battles)
Background Story:
Slicket grew up in the sewers of Riverrun, surviving through thievery and speed of foot, he spent many years alone only ever seeing the light of day through sewer grate and culvert, but never working the courage to leave, until otherwise forced during a large flood of the sewer section he was living in.
After having left he quickly cottoned on to the idea of money, and having little in the way of working skills, he took to crime, stealing and raiding homes for valuables and selling them off to fences and the like for coin, which eventually led him to gambling and quickly from their, to cheating in gambling.
Slicket grew older, intending to find both his fortune, and ways to extend his relatively short life, intending to become a master thief able to claim the ability to steal anything, no matter what it would be.
