"The Resolve are street urchins, forgotten children, and the progeny of those desperate enough to bargain with the shadows. When these newly fledged Resolves come into the fold, they are often broken but accepted to rebuild their will and gain a fanatical loyalty to the Hushed."
You are one of these few. Be it through a hard life on the streets of a hard household that needed to make a deal in the dark, you have ended up in the clutches of the undergrounds sects and syndicates of the Hushed. Years of training have passed you by, and you have undergone the most brutal methods possible to gain further power and belief in your Justicar. You have accepted the Resolve's Leash, and have the runes engraved on both your shoulders, your chest, and your back.
At some point or another, you may have been unleashed to wreak havoc on a particular group of persons. Maybe you were loaned a rival or political enemy, but regardless you are good at finding things and hiding your true self. You are a loyal follower of your Justicar's Orders.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from: Intimidation, Deception, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth
- Languages: Two of your choice.
After years of disguising yourself and following orders, you have now become adept at spinning false narratives. You are quick at coming up with stories about your past and who you are. You are able to come across as sympathetic, but uninteresting.
As far as people are concerned, you are a likable vagabond that will quickly pass through town and memory. Must people will offer aid when needed, and assist you where they can; unless you break the laws, become a perceived threat, or have otherwise flouted your personality in a grievous fashion one too many times
Suggested Characteristics
Acolytes are shaped by their experience in temples or other religious communities. Their study of the history and tenets of their faith and their relationships to temples, shrines, or hierarchies affect their mannerisms and ideals. Their flaws might be some hidden hypocrisy or heretical idea, or an ideal or bond taken to an extreme.

Be it through providence, the gaining of a conscience, or just sheer willpower-you have managed to flee from the clutches of the Hushed. They may be looking for you, but you know all the tricks to the trade and how to hide yourself from them should they come nearer to you. The collar you once wore is long since shattered, broken, and unable to be used to track you but you know that if you don't tread lightly they will stop at nothing to find and reclaim you, or suffer the deadly consequences for escape.
Your tenure with the Hushed has made you adept at hiding, during your time on the run. You are also very used to sleeping with one eye open, ready to jump into action immediately. You know many ways to disguise your sleeping area as undergrowth, a mountainous region, in a clustered and civilized zone. You and your adventuring companions are likely to remain safe even when sleeping in the wilds.
