Drunkard Image

You have taken to drinking as your main profession.  The reasons used to be important, but time and the company of your vice have blurred those lines, changing their meanings into a distant, vague nightmare that occasionally haunts your dreams.  Are you a soldier scarred by the tragedies of war? A merchant bereft of assets? Or simply someone that got lost in the party, deciding to forever live in the bottom of a bottle?  Are you the life of the party, or do you disappear into the farthest corners of the tavern to wallow in your self-created darkness?  Regardless, your first stop in any settlement will surely be the closest inn, tavern, or pub, and the barkeeps can tell your type the minute you walk through the door.  You might talk your way into drinking free with a group of strangers , provide a bit of entertainment to fill your cup, or put on a convincing mask of sobriety for one last refill. Though usually at the bottom of the barrel, being the Drunkard does have its advantages. You have shared a drink with many individuals from all walks of life, having learned a language over the course of your semi-coherent conversations. Your close relationship with alcohol has given you a tolerance far above that of the average tavern-goer.
