You joined the army of Mita young- and you learned quickly. Mita's armies leave no room for error among their ranks- weeding out the unable to learn and the weak. If you had shown yourself any weaker than your peers you would not have gotten as far as you did-but among the army of Mita your promise was strong and that leaves you as a more dangerous force than a solider trained by any other country.

Feature: Military Rank
You have a military rank from your career as a soldier. Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank. You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other soldiers and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses where your rank is recognized.
Suggested Characteristics
The horrors of war combined with the rigid discipline of military service leave their mark on all soldiers, shaping their ideals, creating strong bonds, and often leaving them scarred and vulnerable to fear, shame, and hatred.
