Tomlin is my halfing rogue. Out of 6 characters I had to have one bad type character (I never pick bad or evil characters ) . The one podcast has different characters every few episodes and the most recent one I listened to have a rogue in. I was amazed by their stealth ability so wanted to give them a try. His back story is more a take of work guess but still works I think.
Tomlin was born in the gutter almost literally if his mother had been 3 steps slower. He was born in the slums to a poor halfling couple . They struggled to feed their small family and Tomlins father tried his hand at the adventuring life. For a few months the family were much better off with the money sent back until it stopped. 3 sullen looking adventurers carried his fathers body back to the family one day. Tomlin was crushed, he was now responsible for feeding him and his mother. He couldn't find any work and his fathers death had soured the thought of adventuring. Tomlin had a knack for sneaking and getting in places he shouldn't so he started using that to help feed his mother. He became a thief. First it was small things to gain experience but his greed took hold and he started stealing bigger and bigger scores. After a few years his mother became ill and died. Without any real purpose now to stay in the slums Tomlin decided to head out, see the world and steal new and exciting things.
