Appearance: He is tall thin man with an athletic build. He, like the city is a combination of East and West, his eyes are slightly oriental and his skin tone is western. His dress is mixed and and of enough quality to say notice me but not so much as to say pay attention. His hair is brown and his eyes are a clear green. He likes to carry a leather messenger bag with pockets for tools and papers.

Personality: I am picturing Atyna as a semi-reformed confidence man/thief that has strange luck. He likes people and cares about what is going on. While he does like the finer things in life, he also wants to help other out too. 

There is a thrill in planning and attempting a heist. The same is true for making the escape but a lot less when you get caught. His fear of heights comes from and incident where the job went wrong and he ended up falling. It took him months to heal his body.

If you asked Atyna he would describe himself as a Robin Hood type character, but that is overly romanticized. He is closer to a slightly darker Remo Williams with a mix of Jackie Chan. 
    
Background: Atyna was born and raised in Shou Lung to a troubadour father and a mother who was a healer. He grew up with a love of song and story. As a child he grew up listening to his father, when he was home tell heroic stories about thieves that saved the day, knights that rode into battle on beautiful horses, swordsmen that could fell trees with a single blow, and of course wealth.  Atyna learned to spin a yarn and tell a story. He learned to sing a little and play a lute to pass for a bard in places most bards would not enter. This is when he got pulled into the thieving craft, he need to survive and the lure of easy money was there. 

Atyna got his over active chivalry from his mother and older sisters. As skilled as his mother was, she was still treated like she was non-human. This was also reinforced by the priestess at the temple where Atyna was schooled to read and write a little in the main languages of city.
