You had a desk job, and are usually the most boring person in a room. You have very few life skills, though you have learned how to navigate office bureaucracy. You’ve learned to survive the tedium of office life, and avoid causing other people problems, lest they dock your pay or move your desk next to someone you dislike.
- Skill Proficiencies: Perception, Performance
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, forgery kit
- Equipment: A forgery kit, a mediocre birthday card, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 5 gp.
Feature: Working Class
You give off the sense that you have a desk job. This leads common people to look at you with indifference, and assume that, if anything bad happened, it was anyone other than you, because you could not possibly have done it. People won’t get in your way, though they aren't likely to help you, either. They’ll answer any basic questions you ask them to the best of their ability, though they will start to get suspicious if you ask too many.
Suggested Characteristics
You find it easy to blend into the background, to avoid causing a scene. You know how to make people be quiet, by getting them what they want. Your life is exceedingly dull, and you’ve learned to live with it, though there’s still the thought in the back of your mind that you could be something more.
