Random Roll 99 - The Randomness

A daughter born to a father who already had two boys, but her mother was not what she seemed. Such is the beginning of all changeling lives. A middle class life in the Mana Wastes is still a harsh life. An average intelligence and wisdom leaves a lot of the casting choices most common to changelings out, although her high charisma still leaves her many options. A follower of the goddess of illusion and mystery opens up some interesting background choices and class options as well.

Circumstance of Birth: [Middle-Class Birth] You were born to the middle class, which includes merchants, artisans, and tradespeople. You likely grew up in a good-sized settlement, and one of your parents is likely associated with a guild or other trade organization. As a free person, you don't experience the bondage of serfdom or peasantry, but you also lack the privilege of the nobility.

Parent's Profession: Merchants

Major Childhood Event: [Mentorship/Patronage] A mentor or patron took an interest in your development and volunteered to train or sponsor you. This creature's motives might not be entirely clear, but without its influence you would not be who you are.

Influential Associate: [The Hunter] This person was a lone wolf who nonetheless cautiously allowed you to become a member of her solitary pack. She taught you how to thrive on your own in spite of the many perils and natural dangers of your native environment.

Conflict: [Humiliation] You publicly humiliated or scandalized someone with either true or slanderous information.

Conflict Subject: Child or young person.

Conflict Motivation: Jealousy.

Conflict Resolution: [No Guilt] Either guilt is for the weak, or you know you made the right decision. You might not openly brag about your part in the conflict, but you don’t deny it when confronted either.

Deity/Religious Philosophy: Sivanah

Romantic Relationship(s): [Several Inconsequential Relationships] You have had many lovers but no long-lasting, meaningful relationships.

Drawback: [Pride] You present an image to the world that can’t be tarnished. When someone questions your motives, criticizes your actions, or insults your honor or pride, you question his friendship or count him among your enemies until he makes amends.
