Deluded

Some people are born into greatness, some have it thrust upon them. You are not one of those people, but somehow, you are absolutely convinced that you are. The truly deluded have a sense of self-belief that carries them through life somehow, allowing them to overcome unbelievable odds. The irony of this being that the ones that live tend to find self-actualization in their actions. Did you experience some traumatic event in your life that caused this delusion? Were you always this way? Did you come from the streets, or are you from noble heritage?

Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, Deception

Equipment: Travelers clothes, a letter written by yourself certifying that you are telling the truth, and purse containing 10GP

Suggested Characteristics

You should not confuse a deluded person with someone who has lost their mind. The deluded carry themselves with dignity, refusing to lower themselves to the standards expected of them by those who refute their truth. The deluded are not needlessly disruptive, and often tire of they way they are looked down upon - so are more inclined to hide their pride unless challenged.
