Arcane Institute Graduate

Your tutelage at the illustrious Arcane Institute may have been sponsored through an astronomical monetary donation. Otherwise, you had to have been scouted by the weave seekers; the Institute's appointed outriders who travel Caebresh in search of prospective arcane practitioners. In either case, you were taught in the ways of sorcery, astronomy and alchemy, as well as trained in engineering, medicine and arcane smithing. At worst, you may have emerged a skilled scribe, historian or adviser. At best, a full-fledged wizard, eager to put your knowledge towards great gain or aspirations.

Caebreshian Noble

Perhaps you are part of one of the noble human families of the Bosom's Duchies, or are the offspring of an influential figure. In any case, you were born into privilege and possess a fundamental understanding of Caebresh's politics. Though you benefit from a more comfortable and affluent lifestyle than common folk, you and your family exist in the shadow of Regnovus' influence. You may accept this reality as ineluctable, or seek to alter it.

A Caebreshian noble may choose a life of peril and adventure out of spite for the pampered lifestyle that they detest, to pursue new alliances or partnerships, or to accomplish great deeds that either expand upon, or outshine their family's legacy, among other valid justifications.

Clan Descendant

You trace your lineage back to clans, typically Orcish, who lived in the lands known today as Desolation. Since the Treaty, your kind have integrated Caebreshian society and attained an enviable reputation through their heroics at the Bulwark. Your lineage is still felt in the form of stories, rituals and unique battle techniques. You may have chosen a life of adventure to honor your ancestors through achievement, conquest, or by sharing your heritage with others. Alternatively, your origins may not be at the forefront of your motives at all.

Gleeman

A wandering performer and story-teller, colorful both in speech and appearance, your visit is viewed auspiciously in most communities. You distinguish yourself from the common minstrel through peerless knowledge of the land, its legends and its lore. Though most might mistake you for a simple entertainer, the true purpose of your journey may be to record the world's knowledge, to collect vivid experiences or to meet powerful and fascinating people with whom you can throw your lot.

Man-at-arms

You've made yours a life of strife, blood and battle, bred in the camaraderie of battlefield encampments and in the yards where you honed your weapon skills. You may have been a soldier, a mercenary, the member of a militia, or a city guard. In any case, your talent entitles you to more, and you may pursue adventuring for any reason such as proving your skill against greater foes, earning wealth or station, or even attempting to wash yourself of the horrors of war.

Mender

Whether you've learned sacred healing rites from a deity you've devoted yourself to worshipping, or studied the practice of medicine and the properties of natural remedies, you are a benefactor to the wounded, the injured and the sick. Perhaps you travel the world, or run a local practice. In either case, you are welcomed with open arms in any community, and in any adventuring party.

Outcast

Every society, no matter its culture, has its outcasts. Whether you voluntarily live at the edges of society or were forced to, your circumstances have molded your behavior and granted you unique perspectives. You might be skeptical or outright distrusting of institutions, authorities and governments, or on the contrary, you might aspire to elevate your status and integrate them. An outcast may choose a life of adventure to escape oppression, to improve their conditions, or simply because they believe they are worth more.

Outlaw

Whether independently or as part of a criminal organization, you engage in illicit activity as your primary means of profit. You have mastered the art of navigating the laws and rules of society with calculated risk-taking. You may be a highwayman, a burglar, an assassin or a simple thief. In either case, adventuring might represent an appealing alternative to line your pockets in between jobs or while on the run. Alternatively, you may be looking to leave this lifestyle behind and put your unique skills into the service of more respectable pursuits.

Regnovus Scion

You are a member of one of the three sovereign species who govern over Regnovus, Caebresh's capital city. This is sufficient in and of itself to place you among society's elite. Outside of the capital's territory, this is a double-edged sword. While some may treat you like royalty and seek to be in your good graces, others may display cautious deference or outright hostility. In any case, having grown up in the capital, you benefit from a well-rounded education, particularly centered around diplomacy, etiquette, history and the study of arcane arts. In contrast, you are liable to know little of Caebresh's more rural societies, and you may find yourself disoriented among them. That may have led you to leave the capital and become an adventurer, seeking to expand your horizons beyond Regnovus' unique and isolated ecosystem. Alternatively, you may have been entrusted a mission or purpose by the state that requires travel beyond Mt. Regnov and the Sovereign Tree.

Wanderer

You are most at home on the road or in the wild, with or without the company of others but most often without. With your boundless knowledge of animals, plant life, the weather and remote territories, you often appear alien to the city-dwelling kind. You may view yourself as a hunter, an explorer, a protector of nature, or an unfettered marauder. Any of these pursuits or specializations may have led you to choose, or tumble into a life of adventuring.
