Private Investigator

You may have served the community as a city or local investigator.  Maybe where you grew up, maybe you were an investigator at another city and are new to this local.  Either way, you're good at working with the local city watch, while also making inroads with some of those inclined towards the criminal elements.  You're about finding cases, and solving them for coins.  The level of challenge determines the price, but whatever the price, it better be enough to cover the costs of extensive stakeouts, observations, disguises, forgeries and whatever else you may need.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I use my polite and respectful behavior to get information.
2	Some cases end poorly, and some images I cannot get out of my head.
3	I'm quick to make "friends", in order to get information. A copper piece for an ale is a gold piece when the case is over.
4	I’m full of inspiring and cautionary tales from my investigations. They are relevant to every situation.
5	I fear man's actions more than that of a dragon or demon.
6	I'll flatter someone in a pinch, and persuade them to give me what I want.
7	I'm extremely direct in my approach to the case.
8	I'm driven to be the best investigator, and will make historians marvel at the cases I solved.

d6	Ideal
1	Greater Good. I investigate cases that help those who need it most. (Good)
2	Responsibility. I work with the city watch and investigators in all my cases, they need to know what I'm doing and it meets the cities laws. (Lawful)
3	Independence. I keep my cases close to the vest, and only trust my closest compariots. Everyone else is used for what they can give me. (Chaotic)
4	Misinformation. Sometimes you have to plant evidence in order to find the guilty parties. (Evil)
5	Live and Let Live. I find the facts I need, and if I find other information, I ignore it unless paid to do otherwise. (Neutral)

1	I have an addiction that no one must know about, but makes me the amazing investigator I am.
2	I sometimes use a bit of torture to get information on a case.
3	I made a mistake on a case, and someone innocent was executed. No one must ever know.
4	I love the finer things in life, and this puts me into debt to multiple patrons. Not all of them are good.
5	I obey the law, even if the law causes misery.
6	I'd rather drink poison, then admit when I'm wrong, even if I'm wrong.
