This looks like a lot of fun, I'd love to join in if you'll have me...

[b]Full Name:[/b] Elias Suthmeer

[b]Nicknames/Aliases:[/b] Eli, "Jimmy Slip"

[b]Age:[/b] 11

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Occupation:[/b] Urchin/Pick Pocket

[b]Description:[/b] A dirty, disheveled boy of around 10 years old, Elias looks as though he is afraid of bath water. Knowing the things that lurk in the pipes of Fallen London, that fear could be legitimate. The boy has dirty, freckled cheeks and bright green eyes that look almost out of place on his face, that are framed by the bangs of his long, greasy brown hair. Likewise, his clothing is patched, ripped, and covered in dirt and stains. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Happy-go-lucky, living each day on its own. Elias generally always has a smile plastered onto his young face, which may or may not be genuine, but likely even he doesn't know. Aside from his outward personality, the young lad is also loyal to his close friends and will go out of his way to take care of them.

[b]Skills:[/b] Elias Suthmeer is a world-class picker of pockets (and not in a fashion sense), he is also especially adept at picking very large pockets on very baggy clothing worn by very distracted people, but he is also able to pick ordinary pockets and has been known to dip his hand into a lady's handbag or two, as well. 

Additionally, he has learned to run fast for his age and is also capable of climbing buildings and navigating the rooftops of Fallen London as if he was a native, which, in fact, he is.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] The poor boy, growing up on the streets, lacks any formal education. He can barely write his name, let alone read his letters. Additionally, he is young and spry, but not very strong. This can be forgiven, considering he has not even reached the age of puberty yet. Finally, the boy can sometimes be loyal to a fault, probably because he fears abandonment due to his mother leaving him. He is slow to trust, but once he trusts someone he will do what he can to ensure they are safe.

[b]Brief History:[/b] Elias Suthmeer was born to Gregory and Constance Suthmeer not so long ago in the Wolfstacks Docks, where the family lived and Gregory worked. They were a working-class family, Gregory serving as a zailor on a local trade vessel that made regular runs to the Salt Lions. When Elias was but five years old, his father left on a zee voyage, never to return. Overcome with grief, Constance abandoned her young son and fled their small, one room flat for better fortunes elsewhere. Elias has been on his own, ever since, falling in with a gang of like-wise abandoned or orphaned youths, he quickly gained a reputation among his peers as something of a dip. His ability to steal from unsuspecting grown-ups, and escape the bobbies whenever he was detected, earned him the playful nickname, "Jimmy Slip" from his friends. He now wonders across London with his pals, stealing money to buy food, sleeping in gutters, and just enjoying the hand that life has dealt him. 

[b]Other:[/b] Elias is curious what became of his parents. He knows their names and faces, but has no idea where they have gone, or if they're even still alive. This is something he'd like to pursue, if he's ever given the opportunity.
