Reformed Criminal

As a kid with little else to turn to, a life of crime seemed like the only option. Whether your family was already in the biz, or you didn't have anyone to care for you, you spent the front end of your life fighting for the side of darkness. As a thief, a henchman, assassin, or simply an anarchist in wind, you had the power and capacity to devastate people, places, and organizations. You got really good at what you did.

But somewhere along the way, you impossibly found the light. Maybe you got so good at what you do, you didn't need to do it anymore. Maybe you did something so horrible, even you couldn't excuse it. Maybe you found a home. A therapist. Whatever the reason, your past is a dark spot that you've found the strength to grow from. Now you're a functioning member of society, even if you're still living on the lamb. 

Wherever you go, you know where best places to find unhappy people. Other criminals can see the darkness following you, the one you so desperately try to shove down. They always offer you business, even if they don't know you. They can sense your abilities. If they've heard of you, of your old escapades, your face strikes fear (or maybe awe) into the underbelly of whatever town you've entered. Sometimes you run into familiar faces. But you've grown, and you're better than your weakest moments. 

Skill Proficiencies: As a criminal, you've kept plenty of skills. As a reformed criminal, you've also gained several. 

Tool Proficiencies: Your tools are keepsakes from your past.
