You grew up understanding wealth, power, and privilege, but due to some conflict with your family or sovereign you have been disinherited and disowned. You might have been a willful child, rebelling against a controlling family, or you could have failed your family in some great way causing a deep rift between you, or maybe you were a greedy schemer, attempting to take more then you were owed and were then found out and banished. You no longer carry a noble title, and are left without home, money, or family.
Do you feel like this is deserved for some past transgression, or do you resent your loss and seek revenge? Are you fighting to win back your title and redeem your name, or do you try to move on with life as a commoner, forgetting the luxury of your childhood. Do you seek to gain fame and recognition by other means to prove how you never needed your families influence to be great?

Having lost your wealth, lands and title, you now have become a literal no one. This lack of notoriety, however, has it's benefits, leaving you as a person with no name, no family, and no past. People will be more inclined to ignore you, allowing you to blend in to a crowd and avoid detection more easily. Having spent so much of your formative years at court you have learned how to read and manipulate others, further allowing you to shape your identity to your will.
Suggested Characteristics
Nobles are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. Though you no longer have the title, you still have the breeding and grooming of a noble, and thus the ambitions and habits of one.
