Addan the Mouse

For the Northern Shore ConstantCon campaign, I need to generate 7 new characters. I thought this would be a good chance to try out my character generator combined with a few other tools out on the web.

One of my favorites find is B/X Blackrazor's 100 reasons the characters are together.

The 1st character has the following stats per my generator:
****************************************************************************
Str: 9 Dex: 17 Con: 11 Int: 11 Wis:6 Cha: 14
Career: Craftsman
Milestone: A natural athlete who excelled in childhood games.
Health: Good
Skills: Craft
Element: Water
Zodiac Symbol: Rat
****************************************************************************
I wrote earlier the following for these stats:
Based on the output, this looks like an excellent candidate for a Thief or a Specialist(LOTFP).
He could be a thief whose former career was a fisherman before he took up adventuring. His nickname is "Mouse".
Using random.org to roll 3d6, I consulted ACKS Player's Companion for a thief template to quickly generate equipment and some additional background.

A roll of 15 said this thief was a former Magician's Apprentice. His name was generated using rinkworks fantasy name generator.

The campaign is based on BECMI/Rules Cyclopedia. Let's do a quick conversion based on what we know so far.
