Name: Dodger  (actor: Justin Whalin)
 

Age: 23
 

Height: 5'8"
 

Eye Color: blue
 

Hair: brown

Occupation:  Jack of All Trades (in short, a con  artist but he'd never admit to it)

Status: Single (although several women on different planets may try to tell you otherwise)

Personality:  A natural actor, Dodger can portray whatever emotion is called for by a situation, making his actual mood difficult to tell. Alone, he is reserved and thoughtful, but no one ever gets to see
that side of him.

Family: Parents are deceased, having died in a fire when he was almost four, though he remembers nothing about it.  Nor does he remember having a sibling, but Dodger does carry with him two rings of gold and onyx stone.  One he has worn since he was a child.  The
other, he suspects, belonged to his brother/sister, long lost-though he suspects that he/she also died in the fire that killed his parents. However, he carries the ring which is, along with his deck of cards and lucky dice, the only thing of value to him.  

History: Dodger remembers little about his life before the age of five. He recalls a fire, the smell of smoke and a feeling of leaving something behind. He was taken in by an elderly man who wanted a companion, but the man died just a few months afterward.  He ended up in a foster home with six other children his age, and began acting out to get attention. This got him punished.  At age seven he ran away and was picked up by a couple of con artists who thought they could give him up for ransom. 

Instead, he amused them with lies and tall tales, and they decided to nurture his natural acting ability.  Jance and Doyle (as he grew to know them as) taught him many tricks of their trade. He learned to trick folks out of money by pretending to be sick, injured, homeless, or in need of money to help his poor sick mum get the medicine she needed. Old tricks, indeed, but he passed the lies off with finesse.  When he outgrew those, he learned the fine art of card tricks, counting cards, stacking the deck, and any other way to cheat people out of money with a deck of cards.  As a teenager he was involved in several small scams, graduating into a couple of large ones that finally got the local authorities after Jance and Doyle. 

Dodger came home one day to find them gone, and the flat cleaned out. Alone and penniless, he used all his learned tricks to scrape together passage on a ship bound for another world, any other.  He traveled for several years.  When he was twenty-one he happened upon a member of a secret underground. With no direction in his life, nor purpose to it, Dodger eagerly joined up, and has been honing his skills with the Underground for the last two years
