## ESTP

Energetic and outgoing, inventive and resourceful, they love using common sense to find smarter ways of doing things. ESTPs are natural risk takers. While they are dedicated to whatever they're working on, they don't like to be micromanaged or told what to do by others.

## Background

Gideon is from the prairies of Yona. He was previously imprisoned by hobgoblins and fueled a magitech train for years. He reengineered his shackles to escape. From there he was on the run, do what he needed to get by often resorting to crime. He then met up with Kremy, and Kremy helped Gideon hone his criminal skills while keeping Gideon hidden from the hobgoblin force still after him.

Gideon designed the shoddy rides and rigged games at Carnivál Lecroux.

Gideon "accidentally" kills clowns throughout the campaign and is occasionally haunted by their spirits. He rationalizes their deaths by coming up with an unrelated reason they died, either to cope with the experience or to avoid blame. Clown kill count:

* Chuckles by punching him in the body. Gideon claims Chuckles had an unrelated, fatal seizure after he punched him.
* Klutzy by throwing a plant-based meatball at him after Gricko dared him to. Gideon claims Klutzy was allergic to plant-based meat and died from anaphylaxis.
* Bumbo when Bumbo ran into Gideon's flaming hand that was covered by a hand puppet. Gideon claims Bumbo was allergic to felt and also died from anaphylaxis.
* Thacko by not putting a sign near his wedding cake that says that the cake was peanut butter. He died because he was allergic.
* The court jester by dropping a pot on him from a great height.
