Deposed

Once, you ruled. Once, your word was the command of many, and your will was done. Once, people flocked to your side, begging your favor to improve their lives, and you gave it out as you saw fit.
Once, it was your time.

That time is no more.
Your throne now belongs to another. Your home has cast you out, one way or another. Your lands are no longer yours, and now the only person who does your will is yourself. 
Things have changed, and it looks like they're staying that way.

Work with your DM to establish a world-appropriate location for your previous reign. How large of lands did you rule? How did your subjects and neighbors feel about you? Why were you deposed?

Suggested Characteristics

Being deposed places a person on a boundary line between nobility and exile. Sometimes they adjust easily, sometimes they don't, but all of their experiences have shaped them - for better, or for worse.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I'm quite practiced at making balanced, informed decisions that affect people.
2	I’ve enjoyed the finest food, drink, and high society in my own kingdom.
3	It's taken a lot of running to get me a safe distance away from the people who took my throne.
4	Being places where people don't know who I am (which is just about everywhere) still feels strange.
5	Dealing with the common folk and with the nobility; I've spent a lot of time doing both.
6	I'm always polite and respectful, even when declaring your removal from my favor.
7	Time spent in exile has given me a love for travel.
8	No one understands the trials I have gone through, both before and after being overthrown.

d6	Ideal
1	Power. I got used to ruling, and I'll do anything to get another taste. (Evil)
2	Order. Managing a kingdom and making laws taught me that they're all there for a good reason. (Lawful)
3	Revolution. I don't blame those who overthrew me - the system needs change to keep from becoming stale. (Chaotic)
4	Reset. I had everything, and I lost it all; that changes how you see having things. (Any)
5	Humility. I was brought low, but I'm not angry - it's hard to see the truth from up high. (Good)
6	Authority. Someone has to be in charge, even if it's not me anymore. (Lawful)

d6	Bond
1	Someone helped me get out after I was overthrown. I owe them my life.
2	My family are still in my homeland, unable to leave like I did.
3	The person who overthrew me is tearing the land apart. I'm going to stop them.
4	I can't return home. I have to turn my back and keep looking forward.
5	Another kingdom has offered to help me retake my throne if I ally with them.
6	People I cared about lost their lives in the battle that deposed me.

d6	Flaw
1	I don't like it when people challenge my decisions, even if they're right.
2	You don't go from silk sheets and a chef's finest works to bedrolls and burnt squirrel without complaining. And I do. About everything.
3	I always feel like someone is plotting to betray me (again).
4	Sometimes I still try to order people around.
5	I never learned how to survive on my own; everything was done for me.
6	I tend to be very free with spending money, forgetting that I don't have as much of it as I used to.
