Forced Mediator Image

Due to circumstances out of your control--too many mouths to feed, wrong place wrong time, trouble at the home--, whatever they may be, you were forced into a position of mediation. In order to preserve the greater good, to focus your peers, family, or friends, you must forego your own interests and supplant morality with reason to achieve common ground between rivals. If you do not act now, without bias, the food may not reach the table.The plan may not be realized.

Ultimately, you are socially ambidextrous. You are unimposing and have an aura that is trustable and friendly. People will not suspect you have bad intentions--as you rarely do--and may believe an off the cuff story. You value communication more than others as such you can employ knowledge of multiple languages and cultural awareness to get access and friends when or where needed.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, [Tooltip Not Found] 
Languages: Three of your choice.
 
Feature: Undeniable Unification

You are a strong mediator capable of empathizing with anyone. There may be times where you can use your social intuition to pacify combat or consequence brought on by you or your peers failing to dialogue with others the first time. In encounters where a fight starts with a dialogue option that your party either fails or opts out of you may try and re-enter the negotiation phase provided your DM allows it.
