Traits
(-/+) Nezumi Traits
Strengths:
+ Small and Dextrous- Nezumi are very small. This makes it easy for them to go about unnoticed. That combined with their natural agility make them very difficult to hit with conventional attacks. Nezumi can fit through any space that their heads can fit through, much like their non-sentient cousins.
+ Clever- Most Nezumi are clever, and the ones that aren't rarely survive long. They are naturally inquisitive and prone to taking things apart, just to see how they work. This often leads to them putting more interesting things together again, especially with their own use in mind. They learn new skills quickly, especially when learning them in a 'hands on' fashion.
+ Strong (For their size) - A Nezumi can pick up and carry or drag an object much heavier than would be expected- up to four their own weight for the average Nezumi. This also means that things like climbing, even in challenging circumstances, offer no difficulty for them, as carrying their own weight is not a challenge.
+ Keen Senses - Nezumi have keenly developed senses of smell and hearing in particular, and are very sensitive to minute changes around them, alerting them of danger.
Weaknesses:
- Just Plain Old Small - While it can be a boon, being this small is also a challenge. Most regular tech is not made with the Nezumi in mind, and they typically have to rely on their own technology or clever alternatives. Though they have dextrous hands, they are small, and thus limit what they can and cannot do in settings builr for bigger species.
- Delicate - Their bodies are delicate when compared to larger creatures. While it may be possible to survive a single hit from a regular blaster at full power if the Nezumi is VERY lucky, two is not going to happen.
- Low Instance of Force Sensitivity - While it is not completely unheard of, Nezumi able to wield the Force are rare.
-Short Lifespan - Nezumi, while longer lived then their non-sentient cousins, have a relatively short life span. The age span above takes in to account accidental death, which is unfortunately common for Nezumi. The oldest known Nezumi is 21 years old; ancient by their standards.

(-) Inexperienced - Kuzo is newly out on his own. What he imagines himself to be (a very clever con artist) and what he actually has the experience to be (a very bad con artist) do not match up in any real way yet. This also means he does not know the true value of anything outside of its value to a young Nezumi.
(-) Gullible - You would expect a self titled con artist to be savvy, at least to a point. Kuzo, however, is wildly gullible, beyond simple inexperience. Please let him know that the word is written on the ceiling.
(-/+) Pants on Fire - Kuzo is, however, a consummate liar, perhaps even bordering into compulsive. A new story is always quick on his tongue and sometimes out before he necessarily means it to be. A less avarice heart might have been an excellent story crafter of the Nezumi.
(-/+) Generous - Despite the above traits, Kuzo is a generous little soul. If someone needs something, and asks him for it, he will often give it- assuming the person asking is either on good terms with the Nezumi in general, Kuzo in particular, or Kuzo decides they are simply smaller than he is- which may not be related to size at all, and instead a far more nebulous, possibly insulting, descriptor.
About
Kuzo is a member of the Shokunin tribe of the Nezumi. Well known for their artistry (amoung the Nezumi anyway), Kuzo is, also, a natural artist. Or so he likes to think. Generally a bemusement to his own clan and family, as Kuzo would lie to gain an item someone would have freely given, only to give it without hesitation the next time someone else required it, there was no need to stop the particular methods of asking, and instead the young Kuzo simply grew up believing that he was very good at using cleverness and deceit to get what he wanted. When given the opportunity to travel, he jumped upon it, because how could one truly improve their art without expanding their horizons?
That and there is only so often the same collection of trinkets can get passed around before they are no longer of interest.
Armed with an overly inflated ego and a backpack full of items he thought would not be missed, Kuzo set off into the wider galaxy. To make his fortune and his fame as the highest level of artist.
The con artist.
