Terracotta

Terracotta is clay based ceramic, used in

Building construction and sculpting and

this is what the statues of the warriors

where made with.

How it fits in with my Secret Lair

I had some ideas about my character props and I really liked the idea of the

Terracotta Warriors, so I made it fit in with my character and his lair

Tobias is a very challenging person and very difficult to understand due to

his complex Character. No one knows what hes really thinking, but he has no

malice in his heart, hes a thief but only by definitionhe steals things

which are a challenge to obtain, he gained this habit shortly after he left

the Temple at the age of 16.

The Terracotta Warrior is a prized possession of China, and it still existsright now.

It was buried with the first emperor of china in 210209 BC

with this fact, I was able to fit it into the story of my character. Although

the statues werent officially discovered until the 1970s I have it existing

in the same world as my character because although its set during an event in

Chinese history, its predominantly fiction.

So Im having my character steal one of the warrior statues in a world were

they exist and are chinas most prize possession.

The Terracotta statues would be very hard to obtain but as my character is

highly skilled and has never been caught, this wouldnt be an exception. I

imagine him hording it away in his lair being displayed and presented as a

centerpiece as its his most challenging steal yet.
