Chaebol (Heir)

You might understand wealth, power, and privilege. You carry a noble title, and your family owns land, buildings, and wields significant political influence. You are an arrogant, egoestic child of super rich family in Gangnam. Or you could be an honest, hard-working citizen who cares deeply about the people and  keenly aware of your responsibility to the society.

Work with your DM to come up with an appropriate title and determine how much authority that title carries. A chaebol title doesn’t stand on its own—it’s connected to an entire family, and whatever title you hold, it might not pass it down to your own children. Not only do you need to determine your noble title, but you should also work with the DM to describe your family and their influence on you.

Is your family old and established, or was your title only recently bestowed? How much influence do they wield, and over what area? What kind of reputation does your family have among the other aristocrats of the region? How do the common people regard them?

What’s your position in the family? Are you the heir to the head of the family? Have you already inherited the title? How do you feel about that responsibility? Or are you so far down the line of inheritance that no one cares what you do, as long as you don’t embarrass the family? How does the head of your family feel about you? Are you in your family’s good graces, or shunned by the rest of your family?

These details help establish your family and your title as features of the world of the campaign.
