You're running from something. Perhaps you escaped from a Baron's dungeon, whether you deserved it or not, or are fleeing from a forced marriage. Either way this flight has defined a significant portion of your life and caused you deep seated trust issues and a healthy dose of caution in all situations. A fugitive always checks for back exits and never stays in one place too long. These and many other habits may look like paranoia to others, but they've kept you alive and a step ahead of those looking for you.

Through trial and error and an overabundance of sheer paranoia you have developed an uncanny knack when dealing with arbiters of the law. Whether it's sweet talking the guards or spotting a bounty hunter following you through a crowded street this sixth sense has kept you one step ahead of those looking for you. You gain advantage on ability checks when dealing with authority figures as well as perception checks when it involves being stalked or followed.
Suggested Characteristics
Settling down is never an option, and trust really isn't your strong suite. Fugitives are big on self reliance, but that doesn't make them selfish. Seeing other put in similar (or worse) situations can stir them to action. Besides, what do you have to lose? You're already on the run from someone being chased by another despot for freeing his slaves won't be any worse.

|---|---|
| 1 | I can't remember why I'm being hunted, but it must be bad because they don't stop. |
| 2 | My moral compass has been skewed by the injustices heaped upon me. |
| 3 | I sleep with one eye open and my weapon close at hand when I do allow myself to relax. |
| 4 | My noble upbringing has ill prepared me for this lifestyle and I'm finding the adjustment challenging. |
| 5 | I'm not sure what they did to me, but I'm pretty sure the voices weren't there before I was imprisoned. |
| 6 | I’m always picking things up, absently fiddling with them, and sometimes accidentally breaking them. |
| 7 | I find these small communities quaint and having been trained in a useful profession before going on the run lets me help them. |
| 8 | I wouldn't consider myself brave and that is proven by my tendency to flee at the first sign of trouble. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Change. The system is corrupt and it won't get better until we bring it all down and start over. (Chaotic) |
| 2 | Atonement. I may have done bad things in my past, but I can try to help others along the way on this strange journey. (Good) |
| 3 | Truth. The truth will set me free, but I need to find it before I can turn myself in. (Lawful) |
| 4 | Might. They called me a monster? Fine I'll show them a monster and they won't know what hit them. (Evil) |
| 5 | Peace. The past is gone and the future is uncertain. I'm just trying to survive and maybe start over. (Neutral) |
| 6 | Glory. The whole world can be looking for me, but that doesn't matter. I'm too good to catch and every new crime adds to my growing reputation. (Any) |
| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | Somehow I will find my way back to those I left behind and that drives me forward. |
| 2 | I can't stand to see others subjected to the horrors I experienced and I do what I can to protect them. |
| 3 | I was framed and I won't rest until I find the person who did it and clear my name. |
| 4 | If I can bring down the corrupt individual that put me in this situation I can finally rest. |
| 5 | I'll never be able to pay back the person who allowed me to escape, but I'll give my life trying. |
| 6 | I managed to hang onto a small piece of my past and that object gives me hope for the future. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | If the end can come any any time you might as well enjoy that next glass of ale, and the one after that. |
| 2 | My footprints are drenched in the blood of those sent after me and that doesn't bother me at all. |
| 3 | I'm unbothered by silly concepts like ownership if it helps me to get away. |
| 4 | I am slow to trust others because you can never spot the informant until it is too late. |
| 5 | I've lost track of the lies I've told, and am having trouble remembering what is true anymore. |
| 6 | Don’t expect me to save those who can’t save themselves. It is nature’s way that the strong thrive and the weak perish. |
