Over the years of the education you have taken, out of all the studies that you could have chosen, magic, and combat, only one has taken your full interest. At a ripe age, you didn't just find yourself mesmerized by the intricacy and complexity of languages, you fell in love with it. Your book shelves filled to the brim with books and tomes or even scrolls that could contain any information on the diction, pronunciation, and enunciation of most known languages, and some may even say that you are a living compendium for it. Your hunger to know these languages knows no bounds, and you'll do just about anything to learn all of them.

 
Skill Proficiencies: History and Persuasion
Languages: Three Extra Languages
 
Reasons for Interest
d4 Reasons for Interest
1 Your family members have always forced you to learn other fields of education but you never found interest in any of them
2 You have a speech impediment that prevented you from speaking your birth language properly, and ever since then you devoted yourself to improving and doing more
3 You had way too much time in your hands and you just found yourself encompased when you learned a second language
4 You wanted to get a job in politics eventually, and what better way to practice that than to have conversations in every conceiveable language
 
Feature: Such a way with words

With your extensive vocabulary, you are able to not only hold common conversations with people of different races, but you can have discussions with others and they wouldn't find fault in your words. Some may even say you speak their language better than they do. You have connections and so-called penpals from people of different races who have travelled far, and you find it easier to befriend people who speak these languages just as you would speak to someone in Common.
