First DnD session went awesomely! My players loved it, and a dragonborn was nearly killed by a bugbear.

Bio

Heyo! I'm Tybalt, and I'm an alcoholic...

Shoot, I think I'm doing this wrong. Y'know what, I'mma just throw up a character sheet for myself, y'all know how to read those.

Name: Tybalt
Species: Human. But, like, kinda Hobbit, too?
Age: 24
Rank: Peasant, probably.
Personality: Hard to nail down since I'm the one writing it, but I'm a type three on the Enneagram if that's worth anything.
Description: Two arms, two legs, a head, no feathers.
Abilities: Casual to advanced writing. I love a good advanced, but it's gotta be engaging as well as deep. Advanced is an investment, so I rarely keep up with more than one at a time.
Likes: Pirates, Knights, Cowboys, and everything in-between. I don't mind a good romance, but I'm just as happy to have a bro-tp as an otp. I also love anything by Brandon Sanderson, so if we've got some other fans out there, hit me up in the pm's.
Dislikes: This is less a dislike than a personal failing, but I tend to over-commit to too many stories, then not respond very quickly. You have been warned, I guess.

I'm here as well!
Soft, near-silent steps. That was the key to a successful theft. A subtle approach, a deft hand, and a smooth retreat. Failure in any of these was enough to give oneself away, and few were the men or women who would turn a blind eye to a thief caught red-handed.

Most thieves were caught when they failed in one of these respects. Luka was not most thieves. With a practiced hand, the slight figure transferred coins, baubles, and any sparse bits of jewelry from their origins, to another hand, to the small sash-pouch designed for the purpose. It was slim pickings. Not much was worth stealing, and the few trinkets and coins would buy precious little. Perhaps a few meals...

The raggedly-dressed figure stuck to the shadows, dark brown eyes glowing a rich golden-yellow in the darkness. A few paces more, and a more likely target appeared, as though granted by the gods above. From the tent of an apothecary, a rough-looking man appeared, clad in a cloak and apparently carrying something beneath it.

Luka wasn't new to thievery, and with trained eyes, appraised the man. He looked tough enough, and didn't seem to have any visible mutations. That made him perhaps a bit unpredictable, but Luka had faith in the abilities that had been honed through necessity and practice. Whatever the man had tucked in his cloak had to be valuable, or he wouldn't hold it so close to his body.

Luka readied the only weapon available: a kitchen knife, smoke-blackened to prevent it from glinting in the light. Approaching from behind the traveler, the thief danced from one foot to the other, never putting too much force in any one step, feet almost unnaturally light on the barren earth. This theft, if it was successful and the haul was worthwhile, would ensure security of food and wealth for a good while, and allow for some much-needed rest.

The thief's breath rasped through the ash-gray rags tied over its mouth. This was it. With a few dashing steps, Luka closed the distance and brushed up against the traveller, nimble fingers of one hand attempting to grasp the object held so closely, knife readied to cut any inhibiting straps or strings, and legs tensed in readiness to flee, were it to come to that.

That's... not the case. We may have clicked the link differently, but it lists some pretty glaring weaknesses.
@DnafeinI like that a lot. That's easy to implement, and doesn't neuter the character too hard. Thanks a ton!
I'mma have to step out. Sorry, all, just committed to too much.
@Neo Is Delight

Alright, I can concede that Glitter is a less dangerous ability, though I don't think it's less versatile.

For more details, it's pretty simple. Injuries, of any sort, can be transferred. That's it. The affects of his cancer can be transferred, though he doesn't transfer the disease itself. I still wouldn't call it op by any stretch. A bullet tot he dead, and he's done. He cuts himself too deeply, moves to slow? Dead. And, like I mentioned, it's pretty niche. He's not much use outside of a fight, and his personality prevents him from wanting to hurt anyone. He's more likely to be taking the injuries of more useful heroes onto himself, to keep them on their feet. He doesn't like pain much, either, which gives him a certain amount of unwillingness to, as you said "cut his own throat".
@Neo Is Delight

I appreciate that you're being so respectful with this. It isn't an easy thing to do, by any means.

Most of the things I didn't write were just stuff I didn't really think were worth mentioning. His other clothing is just denim pants and a plain shirt. The hoodie is the only thing of any real significance. The bag isn't really intended to be a Deus ex machina, as it doesn't actually have much in it. Just some food, his tent, and a sleeping bag. His clothes don't vary much because he's very, very broke. He wears the same hoodie to hero, though you're right, I should have mentioned that. I suppose he also uses a bandana over his mouth to hide his identity

The ability is pretty solid, I'll agree with that. But I wouldn't call it OP. Any injury he inflicts on himself is going to limit him pretty significantly, if the other fighter is even somewhat competent. Additionally, skin-on-skin contact isn't as simple to attain as you might think. Long sleeves, a hood, and you're largely protected from him. Compared to the abilities of any of the others, it's actually pretty dang mundane. He's mostly only useful in a fight, and even then, he's mild support or average offense. If I were to nerf him, it'd make him nearly useless!

Urban navigation is basically being able to figure out the twists and turns of a place. Shortcuts, back alleys, hideyholes, that sort of thing. Reflexes is basically a combination of the two things I wrote. Maybe it isn't the clearest, but that's the basic concept.

Again, thanks for the help. I'm never sure how much is too much with this sort of thing.
I've made some significant changes! Hopefully it's up to snuff. Thanks, @BrokenWashing for the help!
