Feature: Former Training
Since you come from the ranks of the military, you fit in among soldiers with ease, even sometimes being mistaken for one. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate rather easily, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. The guise of being soldier is broken once the law has been broken.
