Dustinby Penniesworth

Of the Western Woods

'Dustinby Penniesworth' was born to an unremarkable gnome clan in an unremarkable forest in an unremarkable part of the world. Within a first few months he first showing signs of magical power, puffs of sparks appeared at random, candles snuffing out and reigniting. His mother tried to conceal this but by the time he was walking it was obvious who was responsible for the mysterious conjurings. At first his new powers were welcomed by the clan. They indulged his random but impressive bursts of magic. He performed during festivals and he was gradually developing a new routine. Unfortunately during the climax of his final performance he accidentally burnt down the chief gnomes hut.
Ashamed and unable to fully control his powers he wandered through the forest eventually reaching a human town. Soon he was performing minor tricks and illusions to amuse the locals in exchange for small coins and but was his nievity meant he was easy prey for the local con artists and bully boys. He has lurched from one perilous situation to the next. Interestingly he found that the more he used his powers the more they grew. They also appeared to manifested themselves in the manner in which he needed them most, like the spray of colourful powder he created to blind the town thugs who were fleecing him.
These few successes mean that he has grown dramatically overconfident in his own minor abilities. This cockiness has got into trouble as many times as his unstable powers have got him out of it. Secretly he wants to find acceptance beyond his performance skills and works especially hard to make a good impression on other magic users and gnomes.
His current moniker is Dustinby of the Western Woods.
