Your nation was absorbed by the expansion of the Kamiran Empire, along with your culture, freedoms, and identity. You have been forced to live as second rate citizens with little to no respect from your rulers. Instead of trying to win favour for your old nation or "Step-nation" as the Kamiran call you, you develop an unstoppable and unwavering hatred for everything the Kamiran stand for. This hatred was made known to others when your disloyal actions one day caught the attention of the Royal Army who beat you to near-death as punishment. A mysterious onlooker saw this event and after healing you, asks you to join up with the Returners, a freedom fighting rebellion set to disrupt the expansion of the Kamiran in any way shape or form, and to return the nations absorbed into the Empire back to their status as free and independent. Without hesitation, you join up, hoping to one day to return to the past as it once was...

Feature: Freedom Fighter
Your status as a Returner gains you benefits from other Returner-sympathizers and you gain their trust immediately when you reveal yourself as one. People may reveal hidden pathways or give you special items along your journey or give you access to stay in their residence hidden while escaping the law. To reveal yourself using a code, you or other Returners will ask if you have any spare coins. The code phrase is "I left them in the old home."
Suggested Characteristics
A Returner is a freedom fighter, willing to whatever it takes in hopes to one day end the Kamiran Empire. No sympathy for Kamiran citizens and innocents are usually the status quo due to your extremist nature, although this isn't always the case.
