d100 Street Urchins of Shadelport

Urchins dream of looking this fine

Urchins of the streets of Shadelport are a tough lot. Most are zero level thieves with two skills and a weapon proficiency. Most grow into thieves and a few into fighters. A rare one joins church. Urchins might flock together and squat in abandoned property. Some are affiliated with gangs who encourage kids to be criminals. Others are recruited by criminals to perform jobs where small size or adorableness are an asset. Some would like to get a better life. Some will fake it and rob charitable supporters. Many have witnessed horrible things and are damaged. Some might grow into murder hobos. This could be a good campaign start and could be used as a background. Orphan catchers sell orphans to sweatshops, slavery and servitude to houses, ships and tradesmen.
