You are one who acts on the behalf of another, a procurator. As a proctor, you take charge of the affairs of others and act for them. Your services are present throughout a lot of society. In law, you are similar to lawyers, and a rather high class of them at that. You also play a religious role for clergies, representing them in courts of church law. You also proctor education processes, overseeing tests and exams in lieu of higher officials. As much as you are like a lawyer in many aspects, you are a more specialized form than the usual advocate. Proctors have the power to enact disciplinary action unlike how lawyers can only hash out the rules.
When making a proctor character, consider the following questions: What kind of proctor are you? How high up in the social strata does that make you? Are you a strict or loose proctor? Do you take bribes to misrepresent your case, or are you dedicated to your job as an accurate proxy? Do you act on your own wants or for the good of your retainer? Are you on the road maybe on behalf of a client, or maybe because a higher up sends you out to oversee something outside the usual kingdom limits?
- Equipment: A set of fine clothes in the form of a uniform, a personal document seal, a ream of stationary, an inkwell and quills, and a pouch containing 15gp
Feature: Internal Bureaucrat
You are an entity ultimately tied back to the tiers of society and the inner workings. This work is fairly common and well respected. When you enter offices of law and the like, your seal is a currency of credibility. Other officers are less likely to question your for your motives when you ask for things like records on people. You also have little problem requesting information from judges and courts, and you know generally where you may find official information you seek.
