Politician Image

You are in some form of position of power. Whether you were elected by the people for your charming and cunning nature or if you just scared people enough to vote for you, you now make the decisions for them.

Are you simply a city council member or maybe even a mayor, or are you on some form of cabinet/parliament or even president/prime minister/dictator? This decision can help really decide your actual pull and fame with the people.

Have you been in your position for a long time, or are you new to the game? Are you maybe apart of a family of politicians?

Work with your DM to decide what Nation, State/Province, or City you are in and where you reside on the political spectrum.

Suggested Characteristics

Politicians normally spend a lot of time studying and research to be the best they can be. A politician tends to also make many ties with other politicians and normally will flock with politicians in the same party. As a politician, you have to decide whether you are going to interact and reach out to the other parts of your governing body or if you are going to just sit and hope your plans make it through the political channels. You also need to decide if you want to attract the attention and love of the people or if you just wanna use the power you have now that you have it.
