You were enrolled in the Royal Cluxnore Academy at a relatively young age, training at one of the paths to serve the crowned family and the people of your country. Perhaps, you got there, using money and a family name, perhaps, you got there being incredibly talented. In both cases, you have graduated (or left for different reasons), and now you have skills, knowledge and, most importantly, influence.
Adventuring may not be something you wished to do but you were finely prepared for it. Using everything you were taught, your goal is to be as successful as you can possibly be. You can't even imagine a failure - after all, you are the face of the Royal Cluxnore Academy. You have no right to disappoint your teachers.
- Skill Proficiencies: Taught by the best of the best, you have knowledge about multiple subjects. However, there are subjects that thrilled you most, and you spend hours, days and weeks, perfecting your skills, so you can be unstoppable once out of the safe walls of the school. You can choose any two skill proficiencies.
- Languages: Choose any one language that you studied in the academy and know fluently.
- Equipment: A set of casual academy uniform, a trinket from your school vault, a graduation paper (if applicable), 10 gp
There are several paths that you could take in the academy. Path of the Sword is usually the choice of fighters, Path of the Spell is chosen by wizards or, rarely, sorcerers, and the Path of the Cross is for those who chose the way of a paladin. Path of the Crown is a special choice for those, who plan to put their life on serving the royal family till their last breath.

| 4 | Path of the Crown |
There are legends of how complicated the admission process is, and the only fact of you being able to go through and succeed makes common people look at you with a new light in their eyes. Your decisions hold a special value for those of lesser capabilities, in situation of danger you will be the first person that a commoner would run to for help. Those, who were studying in the academy by your side, will treat you as an equal, even if their attitude towards others is condescending.
Suggested Characteristics
There is a deep rooted arrogance in you, as even if you are pure in your intentions, part of you is swollen with pride. How can you not be proud - you have accomplished something not just anyone can achieve, and it brings up an unnecessary wave of anger, when someone disrespects the work (or the money) you put into getting the education you deserve. Perhaps, you are not very happy about this attitude in yourself but it's too deep in your heart and is very hard to fight down.
